There is springtime in my soul today;
For when the Lord is near,
The dove of peace sings in my heart--
The flowers of grace appear.
~Eliza Hewitt~
There is natural connection between God & living entities. When that connection is revived , it awakens our dormant love for everybody and fills the heart with bliss. The poetess has captured this timeless principles in these beautiful lines.
The most wonderful people I come in touch with, the situations in life which teach me different lessons, the holiest of the places I get to go and the wonderful teachers and books which help me mold my life, I see each of these as a grace of the Lord in my life like a bouquet of flowers gifted to a loved one. This blog is a sincere attempt to spread the aroma of these flowers. Although I am committed to path of Gaudiya Vaishanavism,I am always joyful to see and meet sincere practitioners of any tradition.
Flowers Of Grace
When there was parching thirst,
When there was parching thirst,
Soul was craving for someone to trust
With full of love & inspiration
Far long from doubts & hesitations
Clouded were hopes & deluded was vision,
lost were the ways in the maze & there was utter confusion
Fumbling was I in search for meaning & truth,
In this world filled of lust, greed & brute
Thunderous pouring on the barren land,
Drowning man getting saving hand
Pauper from many lives getting a magic wand
Like that
Srila Prabhupad came in this world on his divine errand
Angels from his company came to embrace,
Brought with them flowers of unlimited grace
ever fresh colorfull, tender & sweet
carrying honey of Lords lotus feet
Each one take one , the Flower Divine
In its original glory, let the heart shine
Each one take one , the Flower Divine
In its original glory, let the heart shine

Also one of the reason for writting is to serve the order
Realization means you should write - by Srila Prabhupada
Every one of you. What is your realization? You write your realization – what you have realized about Krishna. That is required. It is not passive. Always you should be active. Whenever you find time, write. Never mind – two lines, four lines, but you write your realizations. Sravanam, kirtanam.
Writing or offering prayers, glories – this is one of the functions of a Vaisnava.
You are hearing, but you have to write also. Then, writing means
smaranam – remembering what you have heard from your spiritual master.
