Dipawali 26/10/11

Please accept my blessings! All glories to Srila Prabhupada!



Best wishes and blessings.



On this auspicious occasion of Diwali, I wish to send you my special best wishes

and blessings. Ravana with ten heads and many arms had a secret blessing, as

soon as when someone cuts the heads off, he would not die, rather his heads and

arms would reappear. He is the personification of material lust. As we try to

satisfy one lusty desire after another- more and more spring up. And there is no

end to this lust. Just as Lord Rama knew the secret of Ravana and shot him in

the heart, we need to take shelter of Lord Krishna and eradicate this lust by

his mercy.

Just as the inhabitants of Ayodhya welcomed back Sita and Rama after 14 years,

we need to welcome Nitai Gaura and Radha Madhava back into our heart by chanting

their holy names Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare / Hare Rama

Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare.



I hope this finds you healthy & happy,



Your well-wisher always,



Jayapataka Swami
