Poem for Jul 05



Personal Stanza


Yesterday I received a full day’s visit
from my godbrother Sesa Prabhu,
his wife my disciple, Madhumati,
and their youngest daughter.
I have had a friendly relationship
with them for many years. Sesa is
now a lawyer and a GBC manager.
Last year he was the Chairman of the GBC.
He confessed that
management is not to his liking.
They both inquired from me how
to improve in their sadhana of
japa, reading, and meditating
on the Gayatri mantras.
I gave them suggestions as best as
I could from a sannyasi’s life, which is
dedicated to contemplative meditation.
They were so humble and submissive,
although they are both very accomplished
devotees in all areas of devotional service.
It was a pleasure to serve them.
