Nāmāvatāra Kṛṣṇa Dāsa (Kanhaiyā Deśa - Middle East)

My dear Guru Mahārāja! Please accept my respectful obeisances at your lotus feet. All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda! All glories to Śrī Guru and Gaurāṅga! It’s our great fortune to be under your care and shelter.

Dear Guru Mahārāja, As Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu advised Kūrma Brāhmaṇa “Better to remain at home and chant the holy name of Kṛṣṇa always” and further Mahāprabhu advised him the glorious celebrated instruction.

yāre dekha, tāre kaha ’kṛṣṇa’-upadeśa
āmāra ājñāya guru hañā tāra’ ei deśa

(Cc. Madhya 7.128)

“Instruct everyone to follow the orders of Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa as they are given in the Bhagavad-gītā and Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam. In this way become a spiritual master and try to liberate everyone in this land.”

Dear Guru Mahārāja, Your Holiness is the personification and living example who gave the same instructions to everyone whomever you meet throughout the world, wherever they live and whatever they do, whether you are in the flight or in the hospital your non-stop mercy flows in the form of preaching kṛṣṇa-upadeśa. Your Holiness initiate, empower and engage them in the glorious mission of Lord Caitanya through the Bona fide disciplic succession. Dear Guru Mahārāja, Your Holiness travelled all over the world to spread the glories of the holy name and gave Śrīla Prabhupāda’s devotional ecstasy to everyone by engaging everyone in distributing Śrīla Prabhupāda books. By utilizing the science and technology Your Holiness preaching is reaching every nook and corner of the town and villages of this world.

Dear Guru Mahārāja, Your Holiness inspiring everyone to study Śrīla Prabhupāda books scrutinizingly. Your Holiness refused to receive the Honorary Bhakti-vaibhava degree offered and took a vow to receive the same after formal study and obtained your Bhakti-vaibhava Degree. Your Holiness have set an example to the generations of devotees, preachers who are going to come in the disciplic succession, how important it is to read Śrīla Prabhupāda books systematically and scrutinizingly.

Dear Guru Mahārāja, as part of studying Bhakti-vaibhava course we (Kanhaiyā Deśa Devotees) are studying Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam in English and Hindi on alternative days under the guidance of the senior devotees of Kanhaiyā Deśa. Together we have completed the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam Canto 1 and 2 and started Studying Canto 3.

Dear Guru Mahārāja, we had a good fortune to take Your Holiness darśana when you visited ISKCON Coimbatore temple in the month of June 2022. We witnessed how Your Divine Grace presence melts the hearts of the devotees and inspire them engage in the divine service and to donate huge money to Kovai Candra Śrī Rādhā Kṛṣṇa Temple and Cultural Complex project.

Dear Guru Mahārāja, we beg at your lotus feet, please give us the strength to progress in our Devotional service and engage us in the glorious mission of Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu, previous ācāryas and His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Śrīla Prabhupāda under Your Divine Grace’s guidance and allow us to take the shelter at the dust of your lotus feet.
