Sumaṅgala Nandasuta Dāsa (Dāmodara Deśa - Middle East)

My beloved Guru Mahārāja,

Please accept my humble obeisances on your lotus feet. All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda. All glories to you.

It’s amazing to see you doing so many services, moving all around the world, to fulfill the mission of Śrīla Prabhupāda, though you are not in good health. But now it has become unfathomable as to how you are carrying out all these services. Often the question comes to my mind as to who you really are? Are you a Kṛṣṇa’s associate in Goloka Vṛndāvana? Have you descended here by Kṛṣṇa’s instruction to perform līlās and teach us how to serve, how determined one should be in serving the purpose one’s Guru Mahārāja?

It’s so purifying and inspiring to me to think about your mindset in keep serving in this condition of your health. One of your mind set is that, you love Kṛṣṇa and Śrīla Prabhupāda so much, you are so loving, merciful, so compassionate to all of us that it gives huge energy to do all these easily. Your love and compassion for us tells us, how merciful Kṛṣṇa is. Your examples help me to utter the below for Kṛṣṇa from my heart everyday 1st thing in the morning before I start my japa:

“karuṇa-sindhu, dīnabandhu, most loving, most compassionate, most merciful Supreme Lord, eternal Supreme loving father”. This helps me to chant my round better and better.

Guru Mahārāja, with your mercy, I am able to make sustainable improvement in my japa by using the process “Nityānanda-kṛpā” based on your teaching. In this process, the mercy of Nityānanda Prabhu who is the samaṣṭi-guru (sum total of all gurus in the universe including yourself), is very important. This process is helping me a lot to improve my japa. I even made some presentation on this which has helped some devotees to improve their japa. The fundamental principle of the process is base on the mercy and shelter of Nityānanda Prabhu. This was taught by you many occasions that with the mercy of Nityānanda Prabhu only we can chant nicely, we can easily keep moving towards Kṛṣṇa. This inspires me a lot because you and Śrīla Prabhupāda also there in Nityānanda Prabhu as He is samaṣṭi-guru.

With the mercy of His Grace Śrīvallabha Prabhu, I am fortunate to remember you every day without fail, through a sevā of posting your lecture in our Dāmodara Deśa Yātrā JPSS group. I am so happy to do this sevā which connects me to you first thing in the morning even before I start my japa. I am so grateful to Śrīvallabha Prabhu for giving me this sevā.

I am eternally grateful to you because whatever beautiful things happening in my life specially chanting is because of your blessings and mercy. I am so fortunate that you hold my hand put in the service of you, Śrīla Prabhupāda and Kṛṣṇa. Please be kind enough to be my guru eternally wherever I am.

Jaya Śrīla Prabhupāda, jaya Gurudeva...

Your eternal servant,

Sumaṅgala Nandasuta Dāsa
