A brief peek into Lalita Saptami at the Soquel Seva Ashram Gurudev came to the temple room in the morning to grace us with his words.
He began to name all of the Gopis and their dedicated service. His voice was strong and slow. He sat in a chair holding his cane and with his lotus feet resting on a mat. All of the devotees were seated around him in a semicircle taking pictures and filming. He began to talk about Radha, and how Lalita is the main servitor of Srimati Radharani. We can dedicate to our fullest capacity 100% of our energy to Krsna at times. But Lalita, she dedicates herself 200% full time to the service of Srimati Radharani and Lord Krsna without ever stopping. I was happy to hear his sweet words and looked aorund the room at all of the devotees. Goswami Maharaj, Janardan Maharaj, devotees from Soquel, Mexico, Oregon, San Jose…So many happy faces.
The devotees listen to Gurudev’ s darshan intently. As soon as Gurudev leaves the temple room everybody follows behind. Bharat Chandra, his son. Nityahari Prabhu Kalindi dd Ranajit Prabhu steals all the mercy as he walks Gurudev back to his veranda.
. All of the devotees were enthusiastic for the rest of the day and seemed to do never ending seva. From attending Aroti, to cooking, to decorating the temple for Radhastami the next day…
Above Sarvabhavana Prabhu with a devotee from Mexico; to the right Sumitra dd from Colombia; Below: Vaidehi, your servitor trying to report something to the wonderful devotees world wide. To be able to describe exactly what Gurudev said would require some qualification. This was just a drop.
