Translation
“According to their karma, all living entities are wandering throughout the entire universe. Some of them are being elevated to the upper planetary systems, and some are going down into the lower planetary systems. Out of many millions of wandering living entities, one who is very fortunate gets an opportunity to associate with a bona fide spiritual master by the grace of Kṛiṣhṇa. By the mercy of both Kṛiṣhṇa and the spiritual master, such a person receives the seed of the creeper of devotional service.”
What to say. I was amazed to see the whole village turned into devotees. People have started following ekadasi. Normally people don’t take up Krishna consciousness so easily but here things are beyond imagination.
We are witnessing how the Lord is showering His mercy on them. Acarya and the team have put seeds of bhakti in their hearts. This is called revolution in consciousness. See what is happening in this village. The Lord selected it to shower His mercy. A great Vaishnava, Panchmukhi mahadev, is staying there so the Lord also selected this village, Bharkawada, for the padayatris to stay for forty-five days. If there was no lockdown, they would have stayed for just two days but due to the lockdown they stayed for almost six weeks. It’s all the mercy of the Lord and you are very fortunate.
Initially you were not allowing them to stay in your village and now you can’t leave them or forget them. That’s the mystery of Krishna consciousness.
All glories to the All-India Padayatra.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
All glories to the preaching efforts taken by padayatris.
