Sri Sri Radha Ksiracora Gopinatha have been giving me plenty of service and service that I like to do. They have allowed me to become very attached to Tulasi Devi. In the middle of July They had allowed me to be fully in charge of Tulasi in caring for her. I was surprised that They let me do that. I am certainly unqualified to care for her but They both know that I love Tulasi Devi very much which is more than likely why They are letting me serve her. They also let me make salad and juice for Them as well for lunch. They have mercifully given me this chance to directly serve Them. I never had this much mercy before. I had also had the opportunity to wash the Deity plates as well for Them. And Lord Krishna even let me make a Tulasi garland for Him quite a few times through Tulasi's mercy.
This is why Sri Sri Radha Ksiracora Gopinatha have been so merciful to me. They also allow me to directly serve my guru Maharaj Bhaktimarga Swami. They have just been so kind to me. I know Im going to be heartbroken leaving here December 10th.
Today for example, I had trimmed some of Tulasi's manjaris today and some of them that I picked were so very beautiful! She had teeny tiny pinkish flowers covering her manjaris! It's the middle of october and she is still growing her manjaris. She will start to slow down on them toward November I think but she may still grow them in November too. So today the one manjari I picked, I asked this one Mataji who I talk to often if she could put this pretty manjari on Lord Krishna's Lotus Foot. I told her Tulasi's manjari was too pretty to be put in the offering. I asked her to offer it to Lord Krishna for me since I cannot go on the altar yet and say to Him that I picked that manjari just for Him. After she did that she told me that Lord Krishna said "thank you" to me. So now I have a new desire. If and when I ever get second initiation, I wish to put Tulasi leaves or manjaris on Krishna's Lotus Feet! Oh how I would LOVE to do that! My heart would melt. In fact my heart feels melted already just thinking about that! Putting Tulasi leaves or manjaris on Krishna's Lotus Feet???????????? Total bliss! I'd be floating away. I hope Krishna will allow me to do this for Him one day! I know I am so unqualified to do that for Him but I still wish to do this for Him! For now I can just meditate on that, meditate on putting Tulasi leaves and manjaris on His Lotus Feet. I know that'd be my favorite service for sure. :) I want to tell Maharaj this when he comes back and see what he says about it. :)
