On August 8 the All-India Padayatra reached Nathdwara in Rajasthan. I was eagerly waiting for the arrival of padayatra. It was my birthday and I was thinking this would be my best birthday for I would be blessed by darshan of Sri Sri Nitai-Gaurasundar and my dear padayatris. Padayatra stayed for two days in Nathdwara and I was with them totally the whole time.<\/p>\n

I would like to share some of my realizations.<\/p>\n

Padayatris are coming directly from Goloka. They are serving with almost no facilities, which is very difficult for a common man. They are always in a serving mood and always smiling. Even when they are sleeping, they are concerned about the oxen.<\/p>\n

While preparing bhoga Kaunteya Sakha dasa was reciting Bhagavad-gita shlokas. You can imagine what state of mind he is in and when prasad enters our body it will have spiritual effects.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Padayatris are fully versed in spiritual scriptures, which can be seen in their preaching where the whole village becomes devotees.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Acarya dasa is the best manager I have ever seen, managing so many different types of devotees with different moods and keeping them together.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Even after so much seva, they are never in rest mood. They never compromise with purity and eat only what they prepare and not from any non-Brahmin devotee.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Even if they bring a cotton sheet, they offer it to Gaur-Nitai and then use it.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Every day searching for a new place, then setting everything there and then winding it up again. Hats off to them. I could not manage it for two days.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The list of their qualities will not end. I am very fortunate by the mercy of Guru Maharaja that I could meet such devotees and stay with them.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

They have the special mercy of Guru Maharaja and Srila Prabhupada, otherwise they cannot do what they are doing. They are all empowered devotees. I wish and pray that I always get seva of such devotees and Sri Sri Nitai-Gaurasundar.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Jai Srila Prabhupada.<\/p>\n
