Krsna manifest Himself in many ways
All glories to the Sri Krsna Sankirtan!
I had just arrived, one week into last Prabhpada marathon. The causeless mercy of my gurumaharaja HH Devamrita Maharaja has put me in association with my totally serious front line frolicking godbrothers in Sydney. We were at Central station. I was taking a little rest towards the end of the day & feeling a bit discouraged from the overwhelming Xmas rush. There were some books on display next to me on top of a book box. Out of the crowd appeared a tamagunish looking man. he said, "Hey man what you got here?" He was excited to see books on Krsna. It was obvious that he had got some mercy previously like prasadam or something. Immediately he began telling me all his problems in life & that he owned a chain of adult shops. He chose a Krsna book & gave $20.
So about a week latter I saw him with his brothers in Kings Cross (the hellish planets of Sydney) where he was right at home. He said, "Hey mate check this out. After eating at Govindas I was inspired to get this tattoo." He pulled up his sleeve & showed me a tattoo of krsna playing His flute! Then he gave another donation.
So I didn't see him again till just the other day. I was distributing at Bondi Junction with some devotees from Brisbane, Prema Yogi prabhu & Aprakrit prabhu. I was about to approach this person & it was him! "Hey mate how are ya!" he said. "check out my new tattoo." He turned around, pulled up his shirt & I got darsharn of Lord Narasimha Deva ripping open Hiranyakasipus chest with guts flying every where! & Prahlada Maharaja faithfully offering a garland to Ugra Nrsingha! I couldn't believe my eyes. He said he got the picture from our North Sydney Temple. It is the most famous one that we see in books & on altars. So far it was just an outline, he said that he has 43 hours to go before the tattoo is finished. I was so exited I got him to show the other devotees on the street with me.
My God brother Shastra Krit prabhu asked me to tell him that his body is now a temple so he better start acting like it.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada, sadhu sanga & Lord Narasimha Deva Bhagavan whom really is manifesting everywhere!
Your aspiring to be humble servant of the servant,
Uddhava Dasa
