Dear Śrīla Gurudeva,
oṁ ajñāna-timirāndhasya jñānāñjana-śalākayā
cakṣur unmīlitaṁ yena tasmai śrī-gurave namaḥ
nama oṁ viṣṇu-pādāya kṛṣṇa-preṣṭhāya bhū-tale
śrīmate jayapatākā-svāmin iti nāmine
namo ācāryapādāya nitāi-kṛpa-pradāyine
gaura-kathā dhāma dāya nagara-grāma tāriṇe
On the auspicious occasion of your 70th holy appearance day, please accept our Bhakti Purno Praṇām at the dust of your lotus feet. Gurudeva, by the mercy of Śrī Śrī Gaur Nitāi, we hope your health is improving and hope you are now much better than before.
Here in Mathuradesh we all are hankering for your association and your darśan. We are missing you a lot.
Now Gurudeva you have arrived in Śrī Dhām Māyāpur and all devotees are in an ecstatic mood. My plan was to visit Māyāpur during Gaur Purnima festival 2019 and take advantage of getting your association and to engage in some cooking service for you. Unfortunately, I had to cancel my trip due to ill health of Madanmohan Prabhu. I had to go to Mumbai for his health checkup and treatment. Doctors have identified the root cause of his unstable situation (dizziness in his head) 1. Age factor, 2. Stress factor, 3. Fluctuating sugar level. Doctors have advised him to take complete rest for 3 months to speed up the healing process. They have also given him additional blood thinner, Vitamins for nerves and changed his sugar medicines. With the prayers of Vaisnavas and your mercy, he is feeling better now.
Gurudeva with your blessings, our mood is to share our experience of happiness in Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement with others. You will recall that we started a small project at Barka (Bhaktidesh) and you had done Bhumi puja and chanted Gayatri Mantra there, in the car. This preaching center is facilitating local devotees and business communities to participate in our Naam Sankirtana Movement. During the last visit of His Holiness Bhakti Puroshottam Mahārāja, he expressed his desire to spend a few days in Bhakti Desh to do nice Naam Sankirtan, Mangal Aarti etc. Similarly, many Mahārājas who visited Bhaktidesh had also blessed us so that we can do more preaching. Gurudeva, we are eagerly waiting to have your Charan dhuli so that we can fully utilize this place as preaching center.
Currently, initiated devotees from the Bengali, Hindi & Malayalam groups have separate preaching programs every week. Each group has 4 sub-groups to carry out weekly program by rotation. For the major Vaisnava festivals such as Ratha Yatra, Janmasthami, Radhastami, Panihati etc. we collectively celebrate with all the groups. We also have Kṛṣṇa Club for the children.
We are cultivating a small group of Sindhi Business community. They come for the weekly programs regularly and few of them have started chanting on Japa Mala.
Also, we have initiated monthly satsanga with our office staff in their accommodation on Bhakti-vṛkṣa modules. Five families are already attending the satsanga. In addition, we have another Bhakti-vṛkṣa group in Muscat consisting of Bengali devotees from Kolkata. Here we have weekly Bhakti Briksha programs.
Tulsi (Melbourne) & Partha (Stuttgart) are doing well with your mercy. Tulsi will soon get Australian Passport. Similarly, Partha is also expecting to get a German Passport.
My mother Smt. Kundalata Govinda Biswas (Age 70+) is aspiring to get initiation from you through Namahata, Berhampur. She is following all the 4 regulative principles and chanting 16 rounds. She is cooking on her own and offering Bhoga to the deities. Gurudeva, please accept her as your disciple. I heard that you are visiting Berhampur on 31st March for a day. My desire is, it will be so nice if my mother can take your blessings.
Gurudeva, please bless us all so that all the obstacle in the path of our devotional service to Guru and Gauranag are removed. Please also bless us so that Bhakti Desa temple and the devotees in the Bhakti Desa, Muscat and our office staff can develop into nice devotees and they can also preach and bring more fallen souls at your lotus feet.
Gurudeva we pray to Lord Narshimadeva to protect you from all dangers and bring back your health soon.
