My Dear Most Beloved Guru Mahārāja!!!

Please accept my most respectful obeisances at your merciful lotus feet.

All the words put together in English language cannot comprehend the glories of your attributes and personality. You are the epitome and jewel crown of ISKCON movement where you stood as one of the main pillars of foundation Śrīla Prabhupāda made in this Kali-yuga. Many would have lost track and swayed back in to material path if you have not hold the reins of Bhakti and showed compassion towards all.

Your visit to Vṛndāvana have started a wave of new brotherhood here and we are striving to bring back all those who are not in regular contact with centers. Installation of lotus footprint of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu (Pāda-pīṭham Project) in Vṛndāvana is going on. We are on verge of acquiring Government approval legally for the places of installation through lease so that in future any sort of disturbances or legal complications can be avoided.

Many devotees have shown heightened interest in JSSS get together meetings and we are working with other devotees of all the support we can extend towards them as they can participate in JSSS held every month.

Your presence itself creates revolution at every place you visit Guru Mahārāja. We want you to come back to Vṛndāvana at your divine wish and encourage us all to progress in Kṛṣṇa consciousness and drown us in extreme bliss. I always remember your words which you have emphasized in Vṛndāvana that it is 1000 times more benefit to perform devotional service in Vṛndāvana at the same time we have to be cautious and extra vigilant of committing any offences here in Vṛndāvana as its effect is also 1000 times.

Your ways to please Śrīla Prabhupāda and follow His instructions shows us the correct process to adhere to a disciple has to follow His Spiritual Master. By your blessings, myself and my wife have completed Bhakti-vaibhava classes, final presentation and obtaining certificate is pending. We shall do our best to get rest of two degrees.

It is evident and clear that your glories are been sung in higher planetary systems also and having association with you dear Guru Mahārāja makes us feel how it could have been when our great previous ācāryas walked on this planet. Along with my cousin during our initial days in Kṛṣṇa consciousness, we used to travel long distance to just to have a glimpse of you and if we had the opportunity to touch your hand then we believe our mission was successful.

Your glories will be sung throughout the complete golden period of Kali-yuga and You are the living example of ‘We are not this Body’. Brahma could have increased the age limit of humans at least during this Golden era of Kṛṣṇa Consciousness movement so that your presence can deliver each and every soul. Even Lord Kṛṣṇa cannot stay away from You. What a misfortune!!! Lord Kṛṣṇa cannot stay away from His pure devotees and devotees cannot stay away from pure devotees like you. How to solve this as even a moment of separation from association of pure devotees is so hard. Sometimes I can bear the separation from the Lord as He has to please many devotees and my goal is to not to associate with Him all the time but just serve the devotees who serve Him. Separation from Your lotus feet should not be in my cards. That is my only prayer Guru Mahārāja.

Please bless everyone every time and allow me to surrender unto You Guru Mahārāja.

Your servant every always
