Hare Krishna dear Guru Maharaja!
Dandavat Pranams at your lotus feet. Please accept our humble obeisances!
All glories to you Guru Maharaj and all glories to your auspicious appearance day!
All glories to Srila Prabhupada!
Nama om vishnu padaya krishna prastaya bhuutale
Srimate Jaya Pataka Swami iti namine
Namacarya padaya nitya kripa pradayine
Gaura katha dhama daya nagara grama tarine.
mūkaṁ karoti vācālaṁ
paṅguṁ laṅghayate girim
yat-kṛpā tam ahaṁ vande
śrī-guruṁ dīna-tāraṇam
We are very happy to see you recovering quickly post-surgery Guru Maharaja, you have continued your preaching despite many health odds. You have showed us what total surrender means through your own example. All glories to your health pastimes, which teach us perseverance in personal hard times to serve Guru and Gauranga in the mission of Lord Citanya. Despite many odds, you are giving constant association through facebook, whatsapp and mobile apps. We pray to Radha Gopinath and Radha Vallabha for your continued good health. I feel satisfied just by doing service that would be pleasing to you and Prabhupada though our efforts are insignificant. I was reading in Srimad Bagavatam conversation between Sudhama and Lord Krishna in 10th canto, chapter 80 as follows, which always remember how insignificant our efforts are without your mercy.
SB 10.80. Text 41: This indeed is the duty of all true disciples: to repay the debt to their spiritual master by offering him, with pure hearts, their wealth and even their very lives.
SB 10.80. Text 43: [Lord Kṛṣṇa continued:] We had many similar experiences while living in our spiritual master’s home. Simply by the grace of the spiritual master a person can fulfill life’s purpose and attain eternal peace.
In our efforts to please you and Prabhupada, we just started Bhakti Vriksha at our home with the help of Sri Krishna Prabhu (disciple of HH Burijana Prabhu) where I and my wife Madhulata are engaging the children and facilitating the program every Saturday, while Sri Krishna Prabhu is leading Bhakti Vriksha in Telugu language. As you always stressed on family based Bhakti Vriksha program, we are trying to cultivate three Telugu families in devotional service. We seek your blessings always, as it is the only strength driving us towards Prabhupad, Radha Gopinath and Radha Vallabha. We miss your physical association (vapu seva) and pray for your full recovery so that we may get more chances to serve you physically as well. You have accepted us though we do not have any qualification to seek shelter at your lotus feet, please forgive us for our unlimited offenses.
Your Servants,
Virabhadra Nityananda Das (Diksha)
Madhulata (Aspiring), Sarath and Harsha.
