Stay in touch
While traveling in Florida this winter with Maha-ratis Madhukari Prabhu and Vishnujana Prabhu I met a student at the University of Florida who excitedly took a set of books. I've been in touch through email and telephone, encouraging him and trying to get him to visit the local Orlando temple. This is his most recent email to me:
"Yesterday I (finally!) made my way out to the Krishna temple here in orlando for some bhakti-yoga. unfortunately I had somewhat of a hard time finding the temple because you guys are so modest that there isn't even a sign outside to indicate what it is! haha so I walked in about 15 seconds after the chanting started and found myself somewhat confused as to what to do, but eventually I joined in and felt the love and energy everywhere. After the delicious meal I had a nice talk with one of the guys there and can't wait to go back as often as possible. I also set up an altar in my home to have prasadam and a place to pray. I'm feeling great about everything!
Your servant, John Gramke
I feel so privileged to be able to witness a person taking up the process of re-loving Krishna: offering food, praying, altar worship, associating, kirtan…
Let us not underestimate the power of staying in touch through email. (This is also how Madhukari Prabhu connected me with Srila Prabhupada's devotees.)
Your Servant,
Bhakta Tim
