I’m ready now
Dear Devotees, please accept my humble obeisances, all glories to Srila Prabhupada!
Recently on Queen Street central in Auckland New Zealand came a familiar face. A regular experience on Sankirtan, now to work out who he is?!
As we talked our conversation three months back became again clear in my mind.
Sarav a young Nepalese business teacher was smart and thoughtful. When we'd met we had discussed deeply, but realising he wasn't going to take a Gita this day I gave him a flyer to our center and asked if we could continue our discussion over dinner.
Moments into our meeting today he said, "Ah Bhagavad Gita… I want one."
We walked across the road to the money machine. He explained to me since our meeting three months ago, he had changed, he'd been reading a copy of the Gita which he'd withdrawn from the Library. When he handed me a generous $50 for the book I became more interested to know what had made him change…. his story is magical.
"After I met you, my great Grandfather, who I've never seen nor met came into my dream and told me our family is becoming spiritually deprived, and it's your duty to do something about it, read Bhagavad Gita and go once a week to the ISKCON temple."
Upon relaying his dream to his mother he became convinced he had to follow the instruction as the description of his great Grandfather fit him exactly.
Your servant
