TRANSLATION
1) O youthful son of the King of Vraja, You are Lord of all lords. According to Your will, creation and destruction take place in the universe.

2) According to Your will Lord Brahma creates, and according to Your will Lord Visnu maintains.

3) According to Your will Lord Siva destroys, and according to Your will Maya constructs the prison house of this world.

4) According to Your will the living beings take birth and die, and according to Your will they meet with prosperity and ruin, happiness and sorrow.

5) The tiny soul bound up by Maya vainly struggles in the fetters of worldly desire. Without Your sanction he is unable to do anything.

6) You are my only protector and maintainer. Except for Your lotus feet there is no other hope for me.

7) No longer confident of my own strength and endeavor, I have become solely dependent on Your will.

8) Bhaktivinoda is most poor, and his pride has been leveled. Now in accordance with Your will he lives and dies.

& This song shall be my constant Meditation

Thank Your Guru Maharaj.

Thank You Srila Prabhupad

Thank You Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu

Thank You Radharani

Thank You Vrajendra Kumar (Krishna)

I am now your eternal servant.

You are my only protector & maintainer,

Your lotus feet is my only hope

I depend on your Will

My pride is leveled & in accordance with your will i shall Live & Die.

!Vande Guru Sri carnaravinda!

Book distribution experience 6th June 09

1) I saw young teen boys & girls walking away & I was thinking that they won't buy the book

but then i felt "Lets Try Anyway" & they bought the book

But when i was trying hard to distribute books to some person thinking that they shall buy it .

They just refused.

A lesson learnt --- Donot think who would take the book or who won't !

Simply try to Distribute to everyone whoever comes ur way

2) When i was distributing books in LA nagar sankirtan at Venice beach (Prabhupad festival)

I looked at HG Parthsarathi Pr who is a strong spiritual warrior , a great book distributor

& i told him " This place is so tough to distribute books. People here are so materialistic & uninterested for spiritual life"

He replied strongly "You are not distributing .You are not stopping people.How will the books go ?"

Then i started stopping people whoever came my way , trying hard & harder.

Prabhupada said " Ours is a Thankless JOB."

When shall i give up desire for prestige & respect ??

When shall i understand Prabhupadas above statement?

1) Sheetal Pr distributed his first Hard Bound Bhagavad Gita & he became so excited 

that he boldy stopped many people & showed them books & his enthusiasm never decreased by 

those who did not accept a book but it simply went on increasing .I was very inspired by him.

In Mahabharata it is said that when a six foot arrow used to peirce a warrior he would become 

more eager to fight strongly.I could see that in Sheetal Pr today.

2) Ashutosh Pr did amazing book distribution .His humility attracted every person. He distributed a Gita to a muslim person 

This muslim person was a very pious person & listened to us for nearly half an hour patiently.

he was impressed to hear that Prabhupad said " I have not come to convert but to make a christain a better christian 

a muslim a better muslim & a hindu a better hindu"

3) A young teen indian boy stood by the table suddenly & i asked him what is ur name.

He replied " Caitanya" I became instantly happy & showed him Caitanya MahaPrabhu Photo.

Then i explained him about bhagavad gita & the concept of soul.I asked him holding his hand

" what is this " 

He replied " This is my hand " 

Then i pointed at his nose & he said " This is my nose" 

then i pointed to his eyes & he said " this is my eyes"

& Then i asked the billion dollar question " THEN where are YOU ??"

He started laughing & then i showed him the soul transmigration picture & explained him " we not this body but the soul within 

the body" I was so happy explaining him because he was simply grasping every concept with good understanding like a Sponge 

Later he told me that he is reading Harry Potter So i told him i have here every book on philosophy & only one story book 

ie: Krishna Book & showing him i tried to convince him to take it but he said his mother won't buy

seeing his eagerness i said " then cry to her to buy it as you do for a chocolate" .

He then went to his mother & they seemed to have a discussion

Later as they were getting into the car his eyes met mine & it said that he wanted the book but mother is not listening.

So i took the Krishna Book & went to her & said " Your child like this book " & i explained it containing Krishna pastimes showing the pictures in it .

She said " Oh we have Bhagavad gita " i said this is bhagavatam the stories of Dhruva, prahalad & narshima comes from these

Then she immediately bought the book & i put the book in his hand & he smiled & wisked into the car saying 

" I am going to read it right away"

I suddenly felt jealous about him because he accepted the Absolute Truth so easily & at such a young age.

But i am happy to be an instrument in connecting Caitanya With Lord Caitanya.

1) A chinese person got interested seeing the books(rare thing in book distribution)

 & he asked " is it Good for the body ?"

I said YES :)

" Do i have to pay for it ?" i replied " we ask for donations"

"Then i won't take the book " ...... miserly person.

As he walked away Ramanand Sakha Pr & Chandra Pr felt compassionate

& said " Let give him the book" ....It is rare to see a chinese interested !

So i ran to him & as he was sitting in his Car I gave him the book 

"This is For you "

He said "Now i will donate" He took out 1$ from his pocket & 1$ from his wife's purse 

& gave me the 2$ donation .

I said to myself "It was worth running !" 

 

2)A person bought a Spanish bhagavad gita & said " I like these books because......."

He turned to the picure of HDG Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Maharaj & said " This guy is smart . I like him"

We donot know how come he has come in contact with HDG Bhaktisiddhanta Maharaj?

But surely his little appreciation for a pure devotee has gained him immense spiritual benefit (sukruti)

to take up KCON in near future.
