Impossible to Possible Over a Lunch
Hare Krishna
Just wanted to share a story from my experience. One of my Bhakti Vriksha members is looking forward to have a baby soon. I had mentioned about the Garbhadan Samskara and she was interested to know about it. As she had been associated only for the past three months to ISKCON through level One Gita Course, I was little apprehensive to share the process as it is little tedious. Both mataji and prabhuji had taken Shraddavan module of Bhakti Vriksha. Mataji has also started reading Bhagavad Gita As It Is. So rather than discussing over phone I thought it would be better to meet in person and speak about it so that I can see her reaction as well. I had invited mataji for lunch yesterday. A day before the meeting I had sent a PDF containing the procedure which I got from one of the ISKCON websites.
Mataji arrived on time and I was surprised to see that she was more interested to go through the process however tedious it maybe. One more important thing is that her husband who had been an atheist all his life, has started chanting ever since he started coming to Gita course and he chants early in the morning, seeing which his relatives are very surprised. After the meeting, mataji started chanting 4 rounds.
Thanks to Kartikeya Prabhu for his inspiring classes. Thanks to all volunteers, who tirelessly work and make these classes happen.
Please pray for the family to progress in Bhakti.
Your Servant,
Indhu Balaji
