Dear Guru Maharaj, Hare Krishna!
Please accept my humble obeisance’s at the dust of your lotus feet.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada. All glories to Your Divine Grace.
Many congratulations on your 70th successful year of devotional service and contribution to the Sankirtana movement of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu.
You are a factual and one of the most empowered leader within ISKCON, driving from the front, you encourage big time the armies of Mahaprabhu to rally together, your efficient and most effective structure and plan to unite the Gaudiya sampradaya, and other Vaishnavas to fight together as one under many commanders is highly applaud able. The great general His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupads rightly saw the potential in you, and named you Jayapataka, the victory flag.
You are one of the stalwart preacher whose main goal is to please His Divine Grace Srila Prabhupada tremendously without any shadow of a doubt. Considering most challenged physical condition has not discouraged your determination to preach, and this is proof that your preaching is - UNCONDITIONAL - not dependent upon any material circumstances and is thus pure and pleasing to both Srila Prabhupada and Lord Sri Krishna!!
May Guru and Gauranga shower more and more blessing upon you so that you will be physically present as many years as possible to guide us personally to protect our future devotional life and safeguard the future of ISKCON as well.
I have a desire to join Mayapur Dham as a full time missionary, hence humbly beg you to please bless me to make significant advancement in pure Krishna consciousness, and to serve in a mood of selflessness and purity.
Your aspiring servant of your servants,
Ravi Shankar Prasad
