Being brought up in India, I used to like the
stories of Ramayan and Mahabharat. After my college studies, I
read many books on spiritual philosophy by well known authors,
but instead of getting knowledge, I got more confused as books
told different things. I was looking for someone who could guide
me on the path to God.
When I came to the United States, with the Grace
of God, I happened to meet Shree Swamiji. He showed me the
eternal path of raganuga bhakti, the pure path of loving
devotion to Radha Krishn. I learned about Shree Maharajji and
his Divine life history and went to meet him in Vrindaban. My
heart felt that I found someone that I was missing for my whole
life. I decided to dedicate my life in service of His lotus
feet.
I read Shree Maharajji’s book ‘Prem Ras
Siddhant’ while I was in Vrindaban. It happened many times that
whatever topic I read in the book, he explained the same in the
satsang
and made it very clear. I felt his direct Grace upon me. I was
never clear about the meaning of karm yog as described in
the Gita and how to practice in this kaliyug, which Shree
Maharajji very cleverly described in his book. His speeches are
incredible. I think it is impossible for anyone to understand
the deep meaning behind his Divine words even by studying the
scriptures for millions of lifetimes, which Shree Maharajji
makes crystal clear through his speeches. His Grace has changed
my life totally. I feel I have waited innumerable lifetimes for
this opportunity.

When I met Shree Maharajji the emotional waves that poured out
of me in torrents of tears caught me unaware and I was surprised
by the depth and totality of my response. When I saw Him deliver
His Guru Poornima discourse, I felt that I was watching God
Himself on stage in the form of Shree Chaitanya Mahaprabhuji!
Other changes have been much more subtle. There
have been meetings with Shree Maharajji where the sweet waves of
vairag and love have been so beautiful; and responses from
them of depthless love that filled me with gratitude. Things are
growing inside and flowering, so that while I still do have to
do my sadhana, He has actually taken over and is making
all things right from within. Now Shree Radha Krishn and my
Gurudev are the epicenter of my life and Barsana Dham our home.
Beautiful is the journey of my life, sometimes stormy, sometimes
clear, mysterious beyond comprehension—but only love rules here!

I received the greatest pleasure and the rarest
opportunity in this lifetime when in July, 2000 my eyes fell
upon Jagadguru Shree Kripaluji Maharaj, whose single glance can
pierce your heart with great longing for God’s love. Through his
powerful speeches and blissful chantings, the worldly values of
my mind and heart are being replaced with the sweetest of
longings for a close relationship with my Beloved God Krishn. My
heart is being filled drop by drop, day by day with His precious
teachings.
Now my search has ended and my journey has
begun. With a Divine father, I feel protected instead of
vulnerable, tranquil instead of sad, drawn to the charm of
devotion rather than repelled by the harshness of the world. My
life has been transformed, only through the Grace of my
Spiritual Master and Divine Father.

Meeting Shree Maharajji was like a new birth for
me. His personality entered my heart, mind and soul. It felt
like all my fears and attachments melted away. Nothing in the
world felt more important than meeting Radha Krishn.
I know I have a long way to go, but now I have
true hope that it is possible to meet our beloved Radha Krishn
in this lifetime. He has brought Divine life into the chanting
of the names of Radha Krishn for me and I can feel Their
presence in chanting. Due to his Grace my whole family is coming
close to Radha Krishn. I feel his presence and guidance with me
all the time. I wish to dedicate my life for his service.

Since my early adulthood I always had unanswered
questions about the purpose of life. Everybody is busy with
their work, education, traveling, socializing. So I got myself
busy with all sorts of things, but no matter how many things I
acquired, how many good places I visited, or good things I did,
a part of me was always sad and quiet. I felt empty inside.
A few years back miraculously we moved to
Austin, a city whose name I had never even heard before. Here I
visited Barsana Dham and met Shree Swamiji. Immediately I got a
feeling of peace. A voice inside me told me, this is it. That
day I felt extremely happy. After a long time there was no
sadness, no emptiness, I felt like I had come home.
Today through the Grace of Shree Maharajji, my
life has become simpler. My goal is clear - my path is
beautiful, and I am deeply grateful.

I had gone to India twice, with a strong urge to
find a Saint to guide me in my Spiritual life. But I didn’t find
what I was looking for. When I first heard Shree Maharajji’s
teachings through a discourse by Swamiji at Barsana Dham, I felt
as if I had found the piece missing from the puzzle.
I had only known one way of life, to be in the
material world and enjoy life. These teachings have affected my
mind deeply and has changed my life from material living to a
spiritual path where I am taking small steps towards proper
sadhana. Now I understand why Shree Swamiji in discourses
always mentioned the importance of the guidance of the Spiritual
Master in one’s life. Because through the Grace and teachings of
Shree Maharajji I have received a precious gift of devotion to
Shyama Shyam.
