Jay (Mathurā Deśa - Middle East)

Dear Gurudev,

All glories to Srila Prabhupad and I offer my respectful and humble obeisance’s onto your lotus feet.

My name is Jay, i am student studying in Nottingham Trent university, London, United Kingdom, born and brought up in Mathuradesh.

Oh, Gurudev your enlightenment is just as the same source of light as it was when 500 years ago Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu had set his abode in this kaliyuga. Despite your ill health, the way you are carrying out your services to fulfill Srila Prabhupad’s mission is something beyond imagination. Your dedication towards this mission of Krishna Consciousness is immeasurable, weather that be the very establishment of Sri Dham Mayapur, Namatta or the Temple of Vedic Planetarium. And your blessings has that power that can help to give life to a fallen soul. Gurudev, when it comes to memories there are many. But just to share a small  instance which happened in recent. Three years from now when you had visited Mathuradesh. That was the first visit of your’s after you had fallen ill. You had given us a beautiful class and after receiving your darshan you were exiting the building and I was just standing outside your car in which you were traveling. I was scared of you because of which I was standing at a distance but in mind I was praying and telling Krishna, please bless me now in such a way so that I can seek my Gurudev’s blessings personally. You were staring at me for quite a time and right after 2min you called me.

Gurudev: Whats your name?

Me (Ur servant Jay): Jay, Maharaj.

Gurudev: Oh! We have something in common that is your first name Jay and my name is the same.

(Everyone inside the car says Haribol!!!!!)  

Then you had given me your hand and I had that good fortune of holding them. When I got hold of those hands they were as soft as cotton and as moist as silk. And a thought came in mind that if my dear Gurudev’s hand’s are so soft just like cotton then how would my Lord Sri Krishna’s hands be like? 

To continue with the conversation………………….

Gurudev: where are your parents?

Me: Gurudev, they had some work so I have come on their behalf to seek your blessings.

Gurudev:  What are you studyng?

Me: Gurdev, I have just finished my 12th  grade and I am planning to go for higher studies to London, can you please bless me.

Gurudev: blessed me with his hand over my head, just like a father does to his son. And then you left.

Just one year after I had got a chance in 5 university’s and I went off to London and everything was sorted with all your blessings. I am in my final year now. So Gurudev your blessings has that power of making impossible things to possible. Gurudev I need   your blessings always. Please Gurudev please bless me always so that I can help you in fulfilling the mission of Srila Prabhupad.

In the end I would just like to thank you and say this as a son that please at first I would like to say sorry to you for all my mistakes and then can you please tell Krishna also to forgive me for all my sins and forgive me just like a child.  I LOVE YOU, GURUDEV AND THANK YOU FOR ALL THAT YOU HAVE DONE SO FAR AND WISHING YOU A VERY HAPPY BIETHDAY AGAIN MAY KRISHNA BLESS YOU AND GIVE YOU ALL THE HAPPINESS AND MAY YOU GET WELL SOON.  

Your servant and your disciple,
Jay Nath,
