Well I’m in complete agony at the moment as well as exhausted but you know it’s been well worth the effort.

HH Devamrita Swami has been visiting Soho Street and although I did not have chance to attend any of his classes I did go to see him, this despite the medical advice given.

To my amazement he had rearranged some of his plans for me including a power walk, well I managed to keep up part of the way but ended up sat on the park bench with the other injured and wounded devotees who just couldn’t keep up.

Later on I had darsana which was the first time in nearly a year and a half, what was amazing was the care taken not to miss me this time after all he had the New Zealand devotees chasing me up. We sat and talked at length for over an hour and what had struck me was how much he knew about what I have been up to, this bearing in mind that although I am a regular face at both the Manor and Brighton centre I am not connected with any centre or temple.

The outcome was positive and we also talked about the last time we had met and the progress made since then. So not to let me off lightly it was suggested I stop for the small evening program after all he hadn’t seen me since April last year and reminded me of this.

Now bearing in mind I had expected it to be a quick one hour visit max the pain killers and strapping to my knee was geared up for that time period but it was such a nice discussion that the extra effort was well worth it.

I am now eagerly awaiting his next visit but was amazed that for someone who is so busy to take this much care shows amazing mercy.

And here’s a thought during the discussion one devotee thanked him for letting her return back to the UK, HH Devamrita Swami reminded us that to thank him for letting us return home was not necessary but thanking him one we’ve returned home back to godhead then that is the time to thank him.
We also later on talked about the love of our Guru Maharaja who at time will correct us and at times shout at us just to help in our progression to get rid of the pride and false ego to help us this is truly the love of the spiritual master and sometimes the devotees around us.
