Grateful for the pure devotees on the written page and for
the pure devotees in the making, the demigods of the past,
present and future are ever so grateful for such pure devotees’ help
in transforming the dark nescience of maya into the resplendent
sunshine of Krishna Consciousness. Grateful for God not only
being all pervasive in the physical and spiritual bodies of the
pure devotees but in the minute and large forms of every
living entity, we are ultimately all the same when praying for
forgiveness and repentance for sins. Grateful for the miseries
and doubts which changes the heart from inactively participating
in the world’s betterment to directly speaking out against the dark
nescience of maya, thank You Lord for inspiring me and others to care
about the physical and spiritual welfare of all the parts and parcels
of God. Grateful for being an aspiring servant of the Lord’s lotus love,
Premananda is Your unique manifestation of gratitude towards
the living entities since You just want to love us as unconditionally
as You do the pure devotees who are engaged in distributing the
sacredness of Your immortal fame. Grateful for plunging into
Your living hells and Your living heavens and into all that remains
in between, You are neither pure happiness nor pure disquietude;
for You are the purest form of love personified. Grateful for not
understanding Your cosmic lila in its entirety, by some good or bad
arrangement, You have discharged every living entity from their
grueling and somewhat pleasant duties just so that they can slowly
learn to exclusively depend upon You and Your continued
revelations concerning the ability of the jiva souls to combat all
adversities. Grateful for trembling like Arjuna did when facing the
immanent death of so many and the destruction of all known
existing social structures, You are the Savior of civilization and
human decency. Non violent from beginning to end, the only real
change comes in coming to love You; who are pervading the hearts
of the minerals, plants, animals and human beings. Grateful for
not being an expert in diplomacy and world peace, I rely on You more
than anything; for You are the Light of the Sun and the Union
which is the conclusion of peaceful agreements world wide and
universally applied. Grateful for the real powers of the soul,
which are complete faith in the divinity of the nine processes of
bhakti yoga, and the willingness to implement them in a way that
benefits everyone who is accustomed or not to hearing the glories
of Bhagavan, pure devotees are swarming at every corner of
the earth, ready to love the Fullness of Creation. Grateful for being
an eternal aspect of the Godhead’s qualities, the Sun of Krishna Prema
is as long lasting as my attitude of wonder struck gratitude.
Grateful for being grateful in every way, shape and form, gratitude
is the attitude that the Godhead utilizes to enthuse us in our
meditations upon transcending the three modes of nature and
the three worlds of body, soul, and spirit. Grateful for associating
with Bhagavan, He is the Supreme Relisher and the Supremely
Relishable Object of the Gopis’ Spiritual Senses. Grateful for His
ever transforming grace, Jagannath Swami says that He appears in
every age just to see you, the pulsating soul of the science of Union.
