Bhakti Wisdom

Let me share another magical story with you.

How many of us are looking for Krishna to reciprocate with us and our prayers? How many of us are practicing spiritual life and regularly having exchange with Krishna? 

Are we genuinely desiring to involve Krishna in our life?

Well, if you want Krishna to enter in your life you need to invite Him.

Since my main service is to worship presiding Deities at Bhaktivedanta Manor often devotees come to me and share their magical experiences they had whilst offering prayers and service to Radha Gokulananda .

One such experience devotee shared with me today.

Around 10 years ago there was one english couple in their thirties that could not have children. They tried all kinds of treatments,they went to all kinds of mystics but they have not been successful. In fact, doctors told them that they will not be able to have children.

For a young couple who had plans to start a family that was a very difficult situation.

They had their house, good job, friends but without the child all these other things didn’t have any value for them.

Somehow they meet a friend who suggested to them to visit Bhaktivedanta Manor and offer prayers to Radha Gokulananda and present their case to Him. Friend promised them that if they offer prayers to RadhaGokulananda and genuinely surrender their hearts to Krishna then He will make all necessary arrangements.

This young couple tried everything to get a child and nothing worked so they decided to try this last option, going to the Dham and asking Krishna for help. 

This couple were not devotees and never practiced spiritual life but on the suggestion of a friend they decided to go to the temple and beg KRISHNA for help.

Almost a decade later they came to the temple and met one of our resident devotees at the temple and shared with him their story.

They explained to him how they heard about Bhaktivedanta Manor from a friend and about their first visit to the temple. They also shared with him how their faith in Krishna increased so much because they decided to come and seek help from Krishna.

This couple pointed to the 7 year old boy next to them;”This is our son. After we offered prayers to Radha Gokulananda,very soon after we got the son and now he is here with us, a healthy boy who loves to come with us to the temple regularly”.

For this young couple they needed to go through challenges in life before they invited Krishna in their life.We don’t need to wait for difficulties to come to turn to Krishna .

Krishna is a person and He is eagerly waiting for his devotees to invite him in their lives.

Even after ignoring Krishna for years and then inviting Krishna, He will ignore all these years of illusion we have been in and He will just focus on our current situation and our love for Him.
