HARE KṚṢṆA

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

Dear Śrīla Ācāryapāda,

           

            Please accept my respectful obeisances at your lotus feet on the most auspicious day of your appearance, Guru Mahārāja. On this auspicious day of your divine descent into this world of duplicity, the heart blossoms with thoughts of gratitude to Your lotus feet which have sheltered me for so long despite my inadequacies and enabled me to live amid these souls who are sincerely dedicated to serving Your Holiness.

Thanksgiving to all of your teachings, you lift a beacon on the dark road guiding me forward. For the well-being of conditioned souls, you accepted a lot of austerity, constantly in preaching to awaken the sleeping souls.

Gurudeva, in order to fulfill our promise of spreading Śrīla Prabhupāda’s preaching movement myself and my good wife have started Bhakti-vṛkṣa at home 8 - 10 devotees regularly attend this program. Apart from this we do organize Dāmodara program because of which a considerable size of devotees and non-devotees do light lamps to Lord Dāmodara. We are also in the process of starting few other preaching programs, but for this we do request your kind blessings.

Please bless us to fulfill your instructions and expectations in the service to His Divine Grace, Śrīla Prabhupāda and the previous ācāryas.

You are an example of what a loving Vaiṣṇava is in many practical ways. Your humility, sense of gratitude, determination and joy has no comparison. Thank you for all what you give us and for sharing your magnanimous vision of how this movement should go forward to please Śrīla Prabhupāda. We are eternally indebted with your kindness towards us. To be serving you personally in this congregational service is a great fortune. Please allow us to remain eternally engaged by you in this way.

Our heartfelt and deepest prayers to Śrī Rādhā Mādhava, Śrī Narasiṁhadeva and Nitāi - Gaurāṅga to keep you in good health.

Yours most fallen disciples,

Devadatta Pārtha Dāsa
