6. Reciprocation

2/23/17

As I went to sleep listening to Kirtan from Mayapur Kirtan Mela, the mental pain of Vraja’s predicament started seeping in. It was starting to become kinda unbearable, but I continued to try to take shelter of Sri Mayapur Dham.

Reciprocation came the next day, through Facebook Posts. First a message from my sister, who was there.

I love you my Vraju... ❤you're going to be all better. I know because I prayed for you today...🙏

Then my dear childhood friend, Gaurangi Priya posted this.

“All I can do is think of you and Vraju today. I really don't have words, because what you must be going through is just not what we had ever planned. All I can say is that I pray with any drop of devotion that may be in my heart, that Lord Nityananda who is the most kind and merciful manifestation of the Divine takes care of your mama heart. And that He envelops Vraju in His sweet merciful glance. Nitai petitioned Mahaprabhu on behalf of Jagai and Madhai, so I know he will petition Mahaprabhu to protect your sweet boy, who is such a pure soul. I love you so much, Gopi!”

And lastly, from Mother Racitambara who lives in Mayapur Dham, prayers to Lord Nrsimhadeva with His picture.

We are praying to Lord Nrsimhadeva in Mayapur for your dear son. All will be as it should be, by the loving mercy of the Lord.

These little signs of love from Krishna, our internal friend, gave hope that we were in His hands and yes, He was in control. I excitedly shared these seeming coincidences with the guys.
