My name is Ishwari dasi and I'm from Singapore. So we have often heard from sadhus and from shastras the importance and the necessity of associating with pure devotees, self-realized soul. Pure devotees. So in Sri Harinam Cintamani, Sri Haridas Thakura has actually stated that it is extremely necessary for sddhakas to associate with pure devotees in order to overcome naam-aparad. So knowing this I've from a very long time, i've actually had the desire to associate with pure devotees but obviously I don't have the qualification. or the ability to recognize a pure devotee. This only slowly by the mercy of Sri Krishna does one be able to come before the pure devotee. So I begin praying very favourably to Sri Krishna and Caintanya Mahaprabhu and by that grace, in 2018.

I came across the Facebook page of Srila Dharmavira Das Prabhu and also the chanting 64 rounds facebook page. In this page the they have the devotees have posted many posts about naam tattva and sri bhakti tattva. One quote that personally attracted me was the order of Sri Caintanya Mahaprabhu to all grihasta Vaishnavas to chant 64 rounds. Or else Sriman Mahaprabhu
will not accept their offerings. This quote from this order from Sri Caintanya Mahaprabhu impacted me so deeply in the heart. I had once contacted Srila Dharmavira Das Prabhu, guruji to actually help me to come to the level of chanting 64 rounds. Actually I had previously tried many times to change 64 rounds but I could only go up to chanting 50 rounds. Even on special occasion I had tried my best but I could not go past 50 rounds.

So I realized that is only by the mercy of the pure devotees, specifically those who have actually realized that Krishna naam and Krishna Himself naam and naami are non-different. One who's realized in their absolute only they'll be able to give us their blessings and mercy for us to actually chant the Holy Name purely also. So I contacted Srila Dharmavira das Prabhu and he gave me his blessings and surprisingly within the next day itself. I was able to chant 64 rounds. Not only that but also but I was also able to chant the Holy Name with more focus and attention which previously I was not able to do. Gradually, I obviously desired the physical association. I wanted to hear more from Srila Dharmavira Das Prabhu and also have the opportunity to serve him.

So this desire began to grow in my heart and by the blessings of the lord, in 2019 myself and the devotees Madi Saci devi dasi rupe. We were able to go to Sri Radha kund during Karthik mass and we were able to stay there for 8 days. Srila Dharmavira Das Prabhu has a very strict schedule in Sri Radhakund. So our program will start from 2 am. So we get up at 2 am in the morning and we do all our morning duties such as bathing getting ready and so on, and by 3 o'clock we report to the Harinama Center. So from 3 am up to 6 am we will be chanting in the association of the guru. And let me say at this point of time it is very um it is a very spiritually enlightening, very uplifting, very powerful, very transcendental um purifying experience because we were sitting in the association of a pure devotee. Who is very dear to Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu. A self-realized soul.

And hearing the transcendental Holy Name that is pouring from his mouth it is very, gives off a very powerful transcendental vibration which also impacted our chanting. We were able to chant with more love and devotion towards the Lord.

Being in the association of Srila Dharmavira Das Prabhu guruji, I realized that even though my mindset, that it was tired but my material body was never tired.

In fact it was always very um encouraged to do continue to chant the Holy Name and even miraculously I was able to chant 3 lakhs of Harinama in Radhakund under the guidance of Srila Dharmavira Das Prabhu. So um one of the thing which I noticed about Srila Dhamravira Das Prabhu, this is something that I realized that he is a self-realized soul a pure devotee of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu. And he is completely surrendered to Srila Bhaktivedanta Swami Maharaj Srila Prabhupada Maharashi.

Therefore I pray to all devotees those who are interested and even those who are not interested should very importantly take this chance this opportunity to contact Srila Dharmavira Das Prabhu and take this opportunity to have his guidance and associated. Because it is very rare for us in this material world to find a self-realized souls um in this material world. So we should take this opportunity to contact him and if you are very encouraged and very desiring you should come to Radhakund and you should train under his guidance. With this I end my testimonial.

Hare Krishna!
