Today I had gotten some nice service. During japa this morning Maharaj wanted me to type out his blog which I enjoyed doing. And I liked what his blog was about. It was about some devotees he had emailed or talked to on the phone that are struggling in KC. Maharaj simply said in his blog "Don't give up" no matter how bad it gets. Krishna does put us through trials, and He does it on purpose just to see how much we will surrender to Him. I've had this experience myself and Im still struggling to see that. I am trying to understand that He wants me to surrender more to Him and His way of teaching me to be detached. So I have trouble with three things. Negativity, Low Self Esteem, and Attachement. Im okay with everything else.
Then later on Maharaj wanted me to send some photos to one of the matajis by email from his trip in 2003. Unfortunately the DVD he gave to me to download the photos, it is a dvd used for a Mac computer and I cannot download anything to email the photos. So I feel really bad about it. I hope Maharaj won't be too disappointed. :( I really wanted to help him with this service. But I found another devotee who can help with that service.
And lastly I went into the kitchen today to help make a fruit salad, and washed the dishes for Sri Sri Radha KsiraCora Gopinatha. Im loving it even more by doing that little bit of seva for Them. And I talked with Hara Kumar this morning about service to Tulasi. He has to get a key made for me to go in and help take care of Her. He said that I can give Her a spray bath every day except Wednesday and I can clean Her room. Such nice service there for Tulasi and Maharaj wanted me to continue serve Her.
Later this afternoon I also have to watch Govinda's restaurant for an hour. :) So today's services have been both easy and challenging. But I love the service for Sri Sri Radha KsiraCora Gopinatha.And also I have to make sure that the dishes are caught up so that there is no more dishes in the sink.
It's been a very full day of seva. Im happy I was able to help serve Maharaj for a time and Mahavendra Puri. Krishna says "One is not a devotee unless he or she serves His devotees."
