nāma oṁ viṣṇu-pādāya kṛṣṇa-preṣṭhāya bhū-tale
śrīmate jayapatākā-svāmin iti nāmine
namo ācāryapādāya nitāi-kṛpa-pradāyine
gaura-kathā dhāma dāya nagara-grāma tāriṇe

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 74th 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 still giving all energy and encouragement in our devotional life. In spite, of all health challenges, you have been giving darśana in Zoom and taking up Question-and-Answer 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 were inviting entire world to come to Māyāpur for the opening of TOVP which was a dream project for Śrīla Prabhupāda. And Next day my father called me from India and said, I heard world’s biggest temple is being constructed in Māyāpur. He is so much interested in coming to inauguration ceremony of the TOVP temple at Śrīdhāma Māyāpur. I was stunned and completely surprised as coming this from my father was something like a miracle and I was so happy to hear that. You are indeed inviting the whole world to come to Śrīdhāma Māyāpur to get the supreme mercy of Lord Caitanya. I remember one of your room conversations in which you were mentioning how merciful Lord Caitanya is, which is really unlimited. We are so fortunate to be connected to Lord Caitanya through Your Divine Grace.

You inspired me through your Zoom classes to carry on my service of Bhakti-vṛkṣa preaching via Zoom in the pandemic time and since it is becoming fine now so we are going back to physical in person Bhakti-vṛkṣa sessions slowly and gradually. Devotees are so happy to meet in person and lot of new devotees have joined recently and they are so much inclined to the service in the temple, taking part in harināma-saṅkīrtana, book distribution and various other services. This is all happening by your mercy Śrīla Gurudeva.

We have been doing maṅgala-ārati in the temple, japa marathons, kīrtana programs, festival celebrations on zoom and physical association now a days. 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 talks about you Śrīla Gurudeva to all her classmates and inspires them to never give up in every circumstances of life. We are so much indebted to you Śrīla Gurudeva.

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,
