Hare Kṛṣṇa Dear Śrīla Gurudeva,
Please accept my respectful obeisances.
All Glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda.
All Glories to you Śrīla Gurudeva.
All glories to your auspicious appearance day Gurudeva! With your permission and mercy, I would like to pray to their Lordships Śrī Śrī Rādhā Gopinath, Jaganath Baladeva and Subhadra and GauraNitāi, to bestow unto you unlimited mercy on your 70th Vyasa Puja, so your wish to walk and preach to fulfil the mission of Śrīla Prabhuapada can be victorious.
Śrīla Gurudeva, how can we repay your debt of mercy, which you give us every day, every hour, every minute and every second. Gurudeva you are our Divine mercy, like Caitanya Mahāprabhu and Nithyananda protecting Jagai and Madhai. Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu has particularly bestowed upon all fallen souls in this age the most potent method of devotional service. Gurudeva your taking so much effort to spread that mercy of the Lord to protect all of us. You regularly do classes on Śrī Caitanya-caritāmṛta, in one of the classes you mentioned just hearing the pastimes we will get mercy, As mentioned in CC Ādi 13.122 -
gaura-prabhu dayāmaya, tāṅre hayena sadaya,sei pāya tāṅhāra caraṇa which means, Lord Caitanya is very merciful to anyone who hears this narration of His birth, and thus such a person attains the lotus feet of the Lord. Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu’s mercy is so powerful that it acts automatically. Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu is wonderfully merciful and wonderfully magnanimous. Gurudeva from your vani we are achieving all that knowledge and mercy, we are double benefited. One is Caitanya Mahāprabhu’s mercy and receiving it from your lotus mouth. Your service towards Śrīla Prabhupāda in spreading the mercy of Kṛṣṇa prema. Śrīla Prabhupāda mentioned in one of his lectures, It is possible to become perfectly cent percent happy by the mercy of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu. If Caitanya Mahāprabhu simply looks over anyone, directly that person will be happy. Just by hearing your vani we are getting blissful, delighted, satisfied and we are gratified of your association. These classes are helping me personally a lot Gurudeva, with few of us matajis are reading every weekday for an hour, various Śrīla Prabhupāda books. Currently we are reading Śrī Caitanya-caritāmṛta and Śrīmad Bhāgavatam. I can now understand more clearly and analyze Śrī Caitanya Caritamrta very easily, where as before I was scared to read it. Now I relish the pastimes of their Lordships Caitanya and Nitāi.
I humbly pray to remain connected to your lotus feet always remembering your vani Guru maharaj. Without your causeless mercy, my life has no value. I pray to be in the ocean of your mercy that is available by remembering your eternal lila and your vani. My only hope is your unlimited mercy will teach me to control all the six passions, six faults and you bestow your mercy on to me so I can achieve good qualities and associate with Vaishnavas.
Gurudev in your recent parikrama lecture, you were mentioning that we have to go to the parikrama, please Śrīla Gurudeva bestow all the mercy on to me and my family so we can visit the parikrama in future years. By your mercy I have received the service of coordinating the festival decoration for the pleasure of Śrī Śrī Rādhā Gopinath. My prabhu Śrīvasa Nitāigaura Das takes Bhakti-vṛkṣa group and I assist him by looking after the kids, mathajis and prasāda. Please bless me and my family to be able to continue our humble service without hindrance to any vaishnavas and we offer all the result to your lotus feet.
Jaiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii Śrīla Gurudev
Your Servant
