I am jubilant to offer the annual issue (Sridhar Mas) of THE EIGHT PETALS to you. We have covered a distance of one year together, only because of the mercy of Sri Guru:
mukam karoti vachalam / pangum langhayate girim
yat-kripa tam aham vande / shri-gurum dina-taranam
“I offer my respectful obeisances unto my spiritual master, the deliverer of the fallen souls. His mercy turns the dumb into eloquent speakers and enables the lame to cross mountains.”
and because of the loving encouragement from all the vaishnavas:
vancha-kalpa-tarubhyash cha / kripa-sindhubhya eva cha
patitanam pavanebhyo / vaishnavebhyo namo namaha
“I offer my respectful obeisances unto all the Vaishnava devotees of the Lord. They are just like desire trees who can fulfill the desire of everyone. They are oceans of mercy and are the purifiers of the fallen souls.”
I take this opportunity to welcome all the new readers as they become a part of the spiritual revolution – “daivi-varnasrama dharma” and thank the old readers for their constant support. This sridhar mas (annual) issue focuses on ‘Ecology’ and the coming one will be on ‘Employment’. Please keep writing to us.
Aspiring to serve,
Vrndavanlila dd
