Krishna Never Leaves His Devotees Unprotected

I was just thinking this this morning. Seems like I've been doing a lot of thinking but it's helped me to have some realizations along with it.

I was thinking of how Krishna never leaves His devotees unprotected no matter what situation they maybe in. I've had experiences with this myself. Althought at times it felt like wasn't protected but stopped myself and said "Why am I thinking so foolishly like this? Krishna NEVER abandons His devotee even in the toughest situations." He had shown me that recently while I was traveling but He still got me there and back unharmed just a bit mentally tired from all the traveling around.

Just like when Prahalad Maharaj was being tortured by his cruel father, Krishna protected him because he constantly remembered Krishna and kept his faith strong in Krishna. I've always loved the stories about Prahalad Maharaj. He was only a little boy when all this happened to him. Small childeren can even teach adults things they never knew even about God.

Anyways I remember how i first got into Krishna Conciousness. Of course most of you know that story...George Harrison brought me to Krishna. So he is like a guru to me and still is to this day. I didn't actually start reading Prabhupada's books until 2007 on my own.And then later that year my parents divorced for a second time. My mom had moved out of the apartment that we lived in. So I felt like I had no one to turn to but Krishna at the time and I also felt unprotected. So that was when I was reading the Bhagavad Gita and other books by Srila Prabhupada. That was when Krishna opened the doors for me. My Godbrother Ramachandra had recommended me to Maharaj and then Maharaj had told me where to go see Krishna and devotees. That's when it all started. As I look back on it now I realize that Krishna knew I was going to be His devotee and He had personally seen to it that I had protection from all corners. I have no biological brothers and sisters, and my father lives all the way in California, and my mother would not take me back in after she moved out so I had no one to turn to but Krishna and his devotees. Then as I advanced a bit more Krishna led me to my guru and I was able to surrender to him and become an initiated devotee so now I feel Krishna's protection even more even though He still puts me in situations where it feels like Im not. So in a way what happened to me in the past turned out to be a blessing by Krishna Himself. I'll just have to try and train myself to see things that way when things go wrong that eventually it will turn out to be a blessing.

Even now where I am...Im not totally happy but I am doing my best to tolerate it the best I can. Krishna probably wants me to experience more austerity for a bit to advance more. I'll just have to remind myself He's still protecting me and others here too who are struggling. Krishna knows I want to go back to Toronto but I don't think He's ready to let me go back there just yet. May have to wait another week or two for that.
