Causeless Mercy of Sri Guru – Indradyumna Swami Quotes Srila Prabhupada

Causeless Mercy of Sri Guru – Indradyumna Swami Quotes Srila Prabhupada

His Holiness Indradyumna Swami returned to Mayapur this past week and spoke at the wedding of Syama-vanamali dasa and Keli Kandali dasi. At the wedding, Indradyumna Swami wrote about the relationship between Guru and Disciple. The letter that he wrote to the two newlyweds is recorded in one of his Facebook posts. In it, he writes, “Certainly, there are formalities in the relationship between guru and disciple. One is servant and the other is master. The prevailing mood is one of awe and reverence. But the constant and selfless service of the disciple endears him or her to the spiritual master and in time a natural affection and spiritual love develops between the two.”

He quoted from a letter Srila Prabhupada wrote on September 28, 1966:

“At his first sight of me my spiritual master also saw me with such love. It was in my very first darsana of him that I learned how to love. It is his boundless mercy that he has engaged an unworthy person like me in fulfilling some of his desires. It is his causeless mercy to engage me in preaching the message of Sri Rupa and Sri Ragunatha.”
