Dearest Guru Maharāj,
Please accept our humble obeisances. All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda.
All glories unto you.
A very Happy Vyasa Puja 2019 to you!
We pray to Śrī Nrsimhadeva to bless you with good health and a long life so that you can continue to ceaselessly engage in preaching activities and deliver conditioned souls like us. This past year we saw you cross insurmountable hurdles and come out beaming victoriously after each one of them. Despite the physical challenges you continue to give online classes and darśan to fallen souls like us. Guru Mahārāja, you will always remain a great example for the Vaishnava community. Although Your life is full of risks, you are always floating in the ocean of bliss of Gaura prema. As the days pass by, we realize how your Divine grace is not from this material world and how you have descended from the spiritual world. Our lives are blessed just by your association; we are fortunate to get shelter at your lotus feet.
Guru Mahārāja, after several years of marriage, last year we were blessed with a baby boy--Keshav. He is nothing short of a miracle for us and we know it is only because of your blessings. We cannot thank you enough for the mercy you shower upon us in spite of us being totally unqualified. We hope and pray that we are able to provide a strong foundation of Kṛṣṇa consciousness to our son Keshav.
Since Keshav's birth, our university preaching activities have been put on hold, but this year we hope we are able to resume the activities we have paused. With your blessings, we are able to render some insignificant service three days of the week. We are sharing the glories of the Bhagavad Gita (verse by verse) through online chat with 4 of our family members. All of them have taken to chanting the maha mantra, with one of them chanting 16 rounds.
We beg you to shower your causeless mercy on all these sincere souls. We also beg you to accept these insignificant efforts and to bless us with taste for the holy names and for devotional service.
Guru Mahārāja, thank you for your mercy, love and kindness and for always being there for us.
Once again, a happy Vyasa Puja to you!
Your insignificant servants
