Prisoner Me

Dearest Friends and Devotees,

Hare Krsna. When Lord Nityananda and Lord Caitanya appeared on this earth to deliver the fallen conditioned souls, it was thought Their mission would be judged a success if only They could deliver the miscreants Jagai and Madhai, the greatest sinners of their time. In a similar way, due to my previous offenses, I too, share a place with such nefarious company. Still, Jagai and Madhai, though once sinful, became great Vaisnavas due to the mercy of Lord Nityananda and Lord Caitanya. Therefore, with straw in teeth, I fall at the feet of all devotees, sincerely begging their forgiveness.

In a shower of unlimited causeless mercy, Krsna has bestowed His blessings upon me. Upon the recommendation of the devotees, Krsna now accompanies me in His Deity forms of Sri Sri Gaura-Nitai.

In some small measure Krsna has provided me with some ability to write. Thus, I write for my own purification and to hopefully please Krsna and the devotees, my writing being my humble offering. I wish for nothing more than this in life. Begging to develop a measure of selfless, loving compassion for all living entities. Servant of the servant of the servant of Krsna. Servant ad infinitum. Hare Krsna.

Your servant,

Tirtha dasa
