Somehow or other we are here...how is it that we became interested in Krsna consciousness? That may be a question that comes to mind and we rest assured know that it is to none of our credit- not at all!We say, "No, no but I was spiritually inclined!" No. It was simply because Lord Caitanya was smiling upon the universe and suddenly people felt spiritually inclined! That's all- a little mercy and thus, we became devotees. Because Srila Prabhupada came, and thus, somehow or other, we become influenced by his mercy, which spread and touched our heart. Because, when you see a sincere person in front of you, how can you walk away and still have a sense of self-esteem? Still call yourself sincere? If you see a pure devotee, one who really is sincere, then how can you just ignore him? It is in that way that Srila Prabhupada had conquered the entire world; people from all cultures responded to his sincerity...(Excerpt from Newcastle class, September '08, HH Kadamba Kanana Maharaja)
