Hare Krishna!
It was again during times of distress 500 years ago that Advaita Acarya prayed to Krishna for appearing on this planet, He incessantly appealed to Krishna by offering wonderful prayers along with tulasi leaves.
While He was thinking about how to propitiate Krishna by worship, the following verse came to His mind “Sri Krishna, who is very affectionate toward His devotees, sells Himself to a devotee who offers Him merely a Tulasi leaf and a palmful of water.” Advaita Acarya considered the meaning of the verse that by not finding any way to repay the debt that Krishna owes to one who offers Him a tulasi leaf and water, Lord Krishna liquidates the debt by offering Himself to the devotee.
Considering in this way, the Acarya began worshiping the Lord. Thinking of the lotus feet of Sri Krishna, He constantly offered tulasi buds in water from the Ganges. He appealed to Sri Krishna with loud calls and thus made it possible for Krishna to appear as Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu. [Reference: Caitanya Caritamrita, Adi Lila Ch3, text 101-110]. Today there is a similar situation of distress and the only refuge is Lord’s lotus feet. We would like to thank all those who came forward to support us and all who gave their names for collectively appealing for protection from most merciful Sri Sri Radha Kunjabihari.
Every Sunday on behalf of participants of the Automatic Monthly Donars Program (AMDP) , we offer tulasi leaves reciting each member’s name and seeking blessings and protection for them and their family members (see images). We request all of them to please accept the blessings from their Lordships, most merciful Sri Sri Radha Kunjabihari for their and their family’s good health and welfare.
We will continue to offer tulasi leaves every Sunday on behalf of all our AMDP members and so it is not late to give your name to us. Also, we can still use a helping hand and please consider to support us to operate during this pandemic by joining the monthly donation program starting at as little as $1 and existing donors can increase the donation if they wish. Once again thank you for your generosity.
