Jai Srila Acaryapada!
Oh Gurudev! What can i write about you? Still by your mercy i will try to glorify you.Thousand mouths aren’t enough to glorify you, but still i will attempt to do so.
I didn’t have the good fortune to have your association before the stroke, but by the mercy of Caitanya Avatari prabhu and Rasamayi mathaji i heard so many pastimes of your divine grace. Rasamayi mathaji has a strong feeling that you will become physically the same as when you were during Srila Prabhupadas time. This she has kept on repeating whenever she narrated some glories about your divine grace. I also have a feeling this will be true after hearing this repeatedly from mathaji. Mathaji takes so many austerities so that you become alright physically, so i also have a desire to do some austerities for your well being. I took an austerity that whenever i come to Mayapur i would offer a minimum number of dandavat parikram to Rajapur Jagannath. Few years back while i was doing dandavati i was also thinking that my austerity may not have any effect because i’m so fallen. When i was on my last parikrama i thought if i sing prabhupada guru puja here in rajapur you would definitely become alright. As soon as i finished my dandavati, after darshan arati i was praying intensely so that i get the opportunity to sing so that you become well, and a prabhu out of nowhere came and asked me to sing. Jai! Now i’m 100% sure you will become alright. Whenever there is JSSS meeting in Mayapur i hear online and feel so nice. I wonder when i will develop your mood.
By the guidance of Caitanya Avatari prabhu and Rasamayi mathaji i do some Marwadi preaching here in Bangalore. And do all the services given by prabhu and mathaji.
Please Gurudev bless me that i don’t commit any offences, and i serve you nicely in the association of the devotees of NEW RAJAPUR JAGANNATHA DHAM along with my wife Sumukhi nandini devi dasi, my daughters Kunjeshwari and Karunamrita, my son Doyal Nitai and mother Geetha Bai.
I pray that me along with my family be good examples and responsibly serve your divine grace, Srila Prabhupada and Gauranga Mahaprabhu.
Your useless son,
Omkrishna Das
