The world has lost a great devotee this week, because God wanted her back. Mother Yamuna was a Prabhupada deciple and has done so much for the Krishna Conscious Movement that I hope a book comes out about her life. I have been watching the Following Srila Prabhupada DVD series and she is in so much of them. I feel like I knew her. The past few nights there has been kirtan here in Stuy. Falls and after we discuss remembrances of her. Jhanavi is visiting and between her and Ram Roy they have been leading such expert and wonderful kirtan. Jhanavi has spent a lot of time with Mother Yamuna and she told us great stories of her and stories that Yamuna told her about Prabhupada. We only have so much time on this earth and we need to take advantage of gaining knowledge and Srila Prabhupada nectar from the remaining senior disciples of his divine grace.
I feel incredibly sad this week for so many reasons, but I have to just take shelter of Krishna and chant. I find I mainly pray when I'm upset, or there is a crisis of some sort. I have to start praying when I'm happy as well. I need to turn to God no matter what mood I am in. I have to keep in mind that everything I do, I do for him.
I pray to Radharani to be a better devotee and to better serve. I pray that I can be as humble, compassionate, devoted, masterful, and forbearing as Mother Yamuna was.
Hare Krishna!
