My Dearest Spiritual Father,
Please accept my respectful obeisances at the dust of your divine lotus feet.
All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda!
All glories to you!!
All glories to your auspicious Appearance day!!
On the auspicious occasion your Vyāsa-pūjā first of all I like to offer my heartfelt gratitude to you dear father for choosing to stay with us in this world to lovingly guide us and to mercifully engage us in the transcendental mission of Lord Śrī Caitanya Mahaprabhu. One side the eternal abode of the Lord is waiting with His eternal associates welcoming still who will be ready to sacrifice such glorious opportunity? Only whose heart is pained by seeing the sufferings of the conditioned souls and whose life and soul is to just fulfil the desires and instructions of his spiritual master can alone daringly forsake such transcendental invitation.
In the Śrīmad Bhagavatam we can see how Prahlada Mahārājā refused the invitation of the Lord to go back to spiritual world and chose to remain in the material world to serve his dear spiritual master Narada Muni and to liberate all the fallen condition souls in the material world.
Thank you again and again dear father for being extremely compassionate upon us and being very determined to take us back home back to Godhead. Your every thought, word and action are only simply reflecting your unparalleled love and gratitude to serve your dear spiritual master His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Śrīla Prabhupāda.
You never miss a day having darshan of Śrī Śrī Radha Mādhava, Panchattava, Śrī Narasiṁhadeva and Śrīla Prabhupāda, chanting, reading, preaching and care - face book Caitanya lila class is going on since 13th October 2018, answering questions both live and by mail, meeting and discussing with devotees through glass window(Nothing is an impediment for you to care for devotees), loving feast and gifts for your god brothers and sisters, visiting Navadvip Mandal Parikrama places in the caravan and giving classes, going to safari and inspiring thousands to take up chanting Hare Kṛṣṇa Mantra, attending festivals, abhishek and classes, Initiations, all kinds of meetings including GBC, board meetings and other meetings and many many more spiritual activities!!! and top of it medicines, exercise and cycling. It is unfathomable dear spiritual father!!!!!
In one of the lectures you have mentioned that"Kṛṣṇa sends the spiritual master and by the mercy of the spiritual master one gets the seed of devotion. And the seed of devotion is so valuable, it saves one from the most abominable condition". What would be my situation if you have not given out the mercy? Thank you so much for saving me from the most abominable condition my dear father. Please continue to protect me otherwise I have no hope.
In the recent face book class, you mentioned that if you are good disciples of your spiritual master, if you evolve your natural love for Lord Gaurāṅga that will make me very happy. Please bless us that we can become your good disciples and also we can awaken our love for Lord Gaurāṅga and make you very happy. It is your causeless mercy that we are engaged in Bhakti-vṛkṣa Programmes so kindly bless us and empower us that we can become your useful instruments in spreading Lord Caitanya's message everywhere around the world.
Remembering you singing these beautiful lines from Adivas song.."Ānanda sima nai niranande dure jai"- No limits for the spiritual bliss and all unhappiness goes far away'. We like to serve you blissfully!!! Please protect us dear spiritual father from all obstacles and challenges in the path of our devotional service and preaching so that we can enthusiastically and blissfully serve you and please you. Thank you so much for all your love, care, mercy, blessings and for everything that you are doing for us and also for everyone with so much details. We are praying to Lord Narasiṁhadeva for your good health and well being.
Thank you Dear Spiritual Father,
With love & gratitude,
Your spiritual Children,
