My dear spiritual father Śrīla Guru Mahārāja,

Please accept my respectful obeisances

All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda!!

It has been a great fortune for me to write the offering to your glorious 73rd Vyāsa-pūjā.

Śrīla Gurudeva, by your mercy last year has ended with a very positive note and our association of devotees increased even more further and your Zoom classes gave all energy and encouragement in our devotional life. In spite of all health challenges, you have been giving darśana in Zoom and taking up Q-and-A and giving your unlimited mercy and blessings upon all of us. We are feeling so ecstatic hearing from you on Lord Caitanya’s pastimes and taking your blessings unlimitedly. I am very much indebted to your divine grace for giving this wonderful Kṛṣṇa Conscious nectar with love and care.

I can’t imagine what I would have done without your guidance, mercy and blessings Śrīla Gurudeva. I had a dream in which you came, and I saw you were operating a lift and taking all disciples and everyone from each floor and taking everyone to the top floor where Śrīla Prabhupāda and Kṛṣṇa is. As soon as I came back to normal consciousness, I realized that this is exactly you are doing every day, you are connecting everyone to Kṛṣṇa irrespective to who they are and where you meet them. You are so merciful that even hospital staff are also connecting themselves back to Kṛṣṇa. We feel so fortunate and blessed to be connected to you Śrīla Gurudeva. If life is ocean, Your divine Grace is the boat to take one, across that ocean of life.

You inspired me through your Zoom classes to carry on my service of Bhakti-vṛkṣa preaching via Zoom too and we have been carrying out the Bhakti-vṛkṣa classes online as pandemic is still not completely over. It has been working so nicely that devotees from all over UK and Europe are joining and feeling very blissful. We have been doing Mangal aarti programs, japa marathons, Kīrtana programs, festival celebrations on zoom platform. This all could happen by your mercy and blessings Śrīla Gurudeva. My daughter has been taking part in kīrtana programs and inspiring her classmates also to take up Kṛṣṇa Consciousness with chanting and reading. She is going to go to a new school from September and seeking your blessings Śrīla Gurudeva so she can continue her devotional practice there and preach to her new friends on the aspect of Kṛṣṇa Consciousness.

Your Divine grace, you are always guiding and caring for each and every disciple and well-wishers personally. This is really heart touching and amazing.

Please bless me and all our group members that we can bring more and more souls to Kṛṣṇa consciousness this year in London as an offering to Śrīla Prabhupāda by following your instructions.

Thank you very much.

Your insignificant servant,

Yogeśvara Gopīnātha Dāsa (dīkṣā)
