What should the meditation be when preparing for initiation - HH JPS GM answers

[Anadi Jagannath Das]

Question: What should the meditation be when preparing for initiation? Dhanya Devi Dasi (Alachua)

Srila Guru Maharaj:  Let us all give our blessings to Dhanya Devi! Hari bol! Her father is also a devotee, my god brother. Dhanya, thank you for your question.

 What one should meditate on – well taking initiation is a new birth, it is making a commitment also to the whole guru parampara to serve Krishna all this life. So it is a big step and by taking the initiation one gets connected with Prabhupada and all the previous acharyas. We have to be very grateful and pray that,  Krishna please give me the strength to serve guru. With guru’s mercy we get Krishna and with Krishna’s mercy,  we get guru. Hari bol!
