"There are innumerable living entities traveling throughout the different planets of the universe, and out of them there are a few who are fortunate enough to meet a pure devotee and get the chance to understand devotional service. This devotional service is just like a seed, and if it is sown in the heart of a living entity, and if he goes on hearing and chanting Hare Kṛṣṇa, Hare Kṛṣṇa, Kṛṣṇa Kṛṣṇa, Hare Hare/ Hare Rāma, Hare Rāma, Rāma Rāma, Hare Hare, that seed fructifies, just as the seed of a tree fructifies with regular watering."
Bhagavad Gita 10:9 Purport

Producing Fruits and Flowers
The Japa room was really significant this week!
I liked very much the part that you mentioned that the lotus feet of Krsna produces fruits and flowers and that comes when we become free from the anarthas through chanting and hearing the Holy Names . I have so little time in the japa room and I can say that I have been seeing my seed of devotion growing each day.
Thanks for the good japa room service !
Hope Krsna always bless you in this amazing seva !
Haribol,

The Fruits of Love of God
Thankyou for your comments Aruna Locana dd - the analogy of the bhakti creeper producing fruit is wonderful - the bhakti creeper grows and breaks through the material world into the spiritual realm and eventually takes shelter at Krsna's feet, then produces fruits and flowers.

A Few
I really love this quote Rasa...
It's so amazing when you think about it, how there are billions of living entities, and only a very few who are so fortunate to meet a Pure Devotee.
So many people have heard of Krishna, or the maha mantra, but they don't take advantage of it.
It's only by hearing about devotional service from the pure devotee that one gets a chance to understand.
That can come in the form of Srila Prabhupad's books, or devotees teaching Srila Prabhupad's instructions, what ever form it takes, the result is there.
We are so very very fortunate!
All Glories To Srila Prabhupad!

We are Fortunate
Thankyou for your comments Navasi....we should all remember how fortunate we are to have the Holy names.
How I express gratitude
Advise me on this. i want show my gratitude for Prabhupadji. we owing so much for him in this world.
Expressing Gratitude
Your question is very relevant for devotees....we actually owe a debt to the spiritual master for giving us the Holy names...the best way to repay this debt is to carefully follow the instructions of a pure devotee such as Srila Prabhupada.
Debt repay
Thanks for this advices on this for following Prabhupadji instruction. this very important it i think for repaying debt

All Glories
All glories to Srila Prabhupada, who very mercifully brought this spiritual knowledge to the western world, without which we would not have the Holy names to relish in our Japa.
The Auspicious Age !
In this Age of Kali Yuga we have a very important gift , the Holy Names given from Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu , so if everyone sees this as an unique gift for this age , certainly will chant these names with full love and devotion .
All Glories to Harinana Sankirtan !
