By Narsimhavatara Das<\/strong><\/p>\n It was great opportunity of being with devotees for Gita Marathon 2012. I stayed with IYF BACE devotees in this Gita marathon 2012. Whole month I was engaged in Krishna and Prabhupada\u2019s service. Only thinking of serving Prabhupada and the spiritual master. My desire of serving my spiritual master merged with the desires of my several god brothers and we enthusiastically served our Gurudeva by performing book distribution program in December 2012. I was surrounded by several exalted souls those days who inspired me every moment for distributing Srila Prabhupada books.<\/p>\n But in those days somewhere I was away from my beloved Sri Sri Radha Parthasarathi and Gaur Nitai (Delhi Iskcon). One of the most beautiful deities in the world. I started my spiritual child hood from the courtyard of Sri Sri Radha Parthasarathi only, where I learnt and spent most of the blissful moments of my life. I can never forget the causeless mercy of Radha Parthasarathi and his devotees that I have reached to the position of serving my spiritual master. It was November end after my initiation on 21st November. My family started preparing for my marriage as it is on 4th February. and I was really very hesitant asking my brother for leaving Delhi for a month. But somewhere Krishna revealed my desire to him and One day he asked me where will you do distribution this time in Delhi ? I immediately shared my plan of leaving Delhi. He is such a great soul that he right away asked the date. By his blessings and support I was able to render little service to please Sri Guru and Gauranga. I left Delhi on 25th November for December and stayed with devotees who were fully charged to serve Srila Prabhupada in this most auspicious month of Gita Marathon. In the excitement of serving SP & Guru Maharaj, I forgot to meet Sri Sri Radha Parthasarathi. Somewhere the guilt was in my mind that I could not see them before leaving. In the entire month whenever anybody used to come to Delhi, I used to ask them to pay Obeisances on my behalf too. Even devotees used to bring prasad sometimes from there. In last 2 weeks I wanted to come to see them but because of the spirit of achieving target I could not visit them.<\/p>\n Finally the month was over and I came back to home. By that time my wedding cards were ready to Invite Sri Sri Radha Parthasarathi formally by offering them the card. That day was Sunday and somehow I could not go along with my brother and again I did not have darshan of my dear most Sri Radha Parthasarathi. The day was over and I was thinking that from last 2 months I have not seen them. How unfortunate I am and I started cursing myself for my misfortune.<\/p>\n On Monday I was in office, my brother called me and asked to collect some stuff from Lodi Road. While coming back from Lodi Road, the thought of seeing Radha Parthasarathi took me towards Delhi Iskcon temple: The abode of Sri Sri Radha Parthasarathi. It was 8pm and I was unsure whether temple will be opened or closed by the time I will reach. Still I drove my Activa scooter fast and reached there by 8 :30 pm, I ran towards the temple hall while thinking, how Krishna will reciprocate as I am going after so long time. Will he behave as he behaves in general or will he embrace me with love ? Though I knew he must be pleased as I dedicated one month into his service but I was expecting him to reveal it to me in his own style. I heard in lectures several time that he has unique relationship with his each devotee. I wanted to feel how it would be with me !<\/p>\n I entered in the temple hall and became happy seeing new decoration of the temple. The peacock design on the sailing was looking really wonderful. The decoration made that moment very jubilant and enhanced my excitement to have darshan of Sri Sri Gaur Nitai and Radha Parthasarathi. I paid my Obeisances to Srila Prabhupada and looked at him with thanks for giving me such wonderful service. Then I moved towards Sri Narsimha Deva. After paying Obeisances to Lord Narsimha Dev I paid Obeisances to Sri Gaur Nitai. Delhi temple is always full of hundreds of visitors who are raising their hands to have Krishna maha prasad from the alter. We all know that most of the time it\u2019s difficult to have Tulasi prasad, garland and any fruits prasad from the pujari. After completing the pranami mantra I stood and glanced upon the most beautiful form of Sri Gaur Nitai. I realized that Nityanada prabhu was looking only at me with joy and passing wonderful smile of seeing me back. After completing the sayan aarti Pujari pr left plate of flowers on the table and one devotee started distributing flowers . He gave me two flowers and I saw 2 Tulasi leafs along with that. I remember that most of the time I used to go to pujari asking for Tulasi he used to say it\u2019s finished or gave to others. There is always a fight of having a small flower from the alter. This day I received flowers with Tulasi leafs without any effort. It was really a special mercy of Sri Gaur Nitai. <\/p>\n Then I moved towards Sri Radha Parthasarathi and paid Obeisances, After completing the prayers I stood and Pujari prabhu ji awarded me with the garland and the blessings. I really felt thankful to Krishna for bestowing his causeless mercy upon this fallen soul.<\/p>\n This visit gave me strong conviction and faith that Krishna and Srila Prabhupada are even pleased with little endeavor we do in their service and when Krishna reciprocates then it is like a \u2018Cherry on the cake\u2019. <\/p>\n Sri Sri Radha Parthasarathi Ki Jai !!<\/p>\n Sri Sri Gaur Nitai Ki Jai !!<\/p>\n Sri Sri Sita Ram Laxman Hanuman Ki Jai !! <\/p>\n Srila Prabhupada Ki Jai !!<\/p>\n Srila Guru Deva Ki Jai !!<\/p>\n Your Petite Servant It was great opportunity of being with devotees for Gita Marathon 2012.
