Dearest Guru Mahārāja,
Please accept our respectful obeisances at your divine lotus feet. All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda. All glories to Your Holiness.
Prahlāda Mahārājā says to his father Hiraṇyakaśipu
"Unless they smear upon their bodies the dust of the lotus feet of a Vaiṣṇava completely freed from material contamination, persons very much inclined toward materialistic life cannot be attached to the lotus feet of the Lord, who is glorified for His uncommon activities. Only by becoming Kṛṣṇa conscious and taking shelter at the lotus feet of the Lord in this way can one be freed from material contamination"
Thank you very much, Guru Mahārāja, you are one who is completely freed from material contamination, for giving us shelter at your divine lotus feet, and opportunities to smear dust from your lotus feet.
We have never come across a person who is so dedicated and determined to serve our founder Ācārya Śrīla Prabhupāda ISKCON mission. What an amazing fighting spirit you have displayed.
You are so disciplined, setting a great example for all of us. You perform your daily Sādhana, health regimen, ISKCON office work and meetings, śīkṣa to all your disciples on a daily basis, and new recruitment through your regular Dīkṣā ceremonies counting 1000s every year.
Above all you are always thinking of our concerns, and praying to Śrī Śrī Rādhā Mādhava, for all your disciple’s welfare.
Even at your current health crisis, you are actively Preaching, more than many young and able-bodied Devotees.
You are displaying height of tolerance, how one should face, old age, disease and death, as these are all painful. You are tolerating just keeping the larger interest of ISKCON and doing your best to complete, the goals and targets, given by your spiritual master Śrīla Prabhupāda. At least 3 times you faced death and took a You turn and came back to complete the unfinished work.
We are extremely happy to know you have a desire to do the first Arati in the Temple Of Vedic Planetarium.
Utsāha, Niścaya, Dhairya - Enthusiasm, Determination, Patience you are like a personification of these, in such challenging situations of health, you show perfect example.
On this Vyāsa-pūjā day, we are praying for you to stay and fulfil all Śrīla Prabhupāda's desires, and guide millions more to the lotus feet of Śrīla Prabhupāda.
Your humble servants,
