I am nobody worth mentioning- trying to be an honest follower of Srila Prabhupada and please Vaishnavas and Their Lordships. I have taken shelter of HH Bhakti Charu Swami and Guru Maharaj said he would initiate whenever we would meet next.... :-) I came to KC, thanks to the cyber space and causeless mercy of a very nice devotee. Did not meet devotees for first 3 years ever- but kept reading online leectures of HH Radhanath Swami and books of Srila Prabhupada. Now I am in Orlando, having wonderful association of Vaishnavas- I still don't have a clue why Krsna is so merciful to such an unqualified person!!!
"We simply should be willing to forget in a moment any offense that is done to us. And we should be forgiving that person before that offense is even complete! We should be in the process of forgiving, as it is happening. And when it is done we should continue forgiving. This is Vaishnava. trnad api sunicena tarora api sahisnuna amanina mana dena kirtaniya sada hari. Humble like the straw in the street, tolerant like a tree, anxious to give all respect to others, no anticipation, no expectation for any respect for oneself. This is a devotee. To the degree you have these qualities, you are a devotee. To the degree, you do not have these qualities; you are not really a devotee in the true sense. So a Vaishnava aspires for and gradually develops these qualities. And if you have this consciousness, then who will you ever offend in your life? So we must cultivate this spirit and we must be very systematically, at every moment, be attentive to follow this principle of this most important shloka, trnad api sunicena."
H H Radhanath Swami Maharaj
We can chant the holy names of lord purely if we simply follow in the footsteps of the great souls.Pray harder with intense earnestness,to lord narsimhdev, to kindly remove theses obstacles of the tendency to find faults in others, the tendency to hear the faults of others, the tendency to try to compete with others to put myself in a higher position.we have to understand that in the end krsna sees what kind of spirit of respect you have towards the vaishnavas.
