Dearest Guru Mahārāj!
Please accept our humble obeisances! All Glories to Śrīla Prabhupad!
This Vyāsa-pūjā is historic and very, very special, as this is going to be celebrated after your surgery, and your recovery, which is no less than a miracle, with the prayers of all the wonderful vaiṣṇavas, and with Śrīla Prabhupāda and Lord Gaurāṅga’s mercy! Our happiness knows no bounds in seeing you getting stronger by the day! We will continue to pray and do our sādhanas to our best possible, so that we can see you dance in kirtan and play your whompers one day in front of Śrī Śrī Rādhā Mādhava Ashta Sakhis, Śrī Pañca Tattva, Śrī Nrsimhadev and Prahlāda mahārāja and our dear Śrīla Prabhupad!
Guru Mahārāja, your enthusiasm and dedication to serve the devotees, Śrīla Prabhupāda and the guru paramparā is infectious, and I just wonder in awe how you get the energy to be so full of positivity, spreading love, compassion and care for all of the fallen souls like us. We pray at your lotus feet for a speck of that devotion and love and compassion, ear Guru Mahārāj!
You have been my inspiration to motivate me to go on with my transcription of the daily nectar you share with the devotees on Facebook on the Caitanya Lila compilation. This has really boosted my happiness and there is nothing better that I look forward to than this association I get to have with you and my god siblings every day! Thank you, guru mahārāja for being there, come rain come shine, even if it was on some rare day, only to say “Haribol” to us on Facebook! We hope and pray that you are able to compile this Śrī Kṛṣṇa Caitanya Book and also the book on prabhupāda Katha?
My husband, Vijay was very touched and elated when you remembered him as the “Porsche dealer” as you said, when we met you in January this year in Chennai. He continues to chant irregularly. But he was greatly moved and humbled, and “cried” he said, when he watched your home coming video in Māyāpur few days ago!
My daughter Mādhavi Gopi was in the seventh heaven when she heard your birthday wishes to her on what’s app, which HG Mahavaraha dāsa prabhu kindly sent! She is trying to chant her 16 rounds daily which sometimes is a challenge. She will be writing to you soon she said as she wanted to share her thoughts with you on something she needs your advice on, dear Gurudev! Am attaching two of the most recent photos - one of Mādhavi Gopi when she got sheltered by you in Detroit and the other of Vijay and me with you in Chennai in January 2019.
We pray to all Their Lordships to continue to give you the strength and the health to be there for us, our loving father, without whom we cannot imagine our life. Please, please keep us in your prayers.
Your spiritual children,
Bhakta Vijay
