Most Respected and Loving Guru Mahārājā
Hare Kṛṣṇa
Please accept my daṇḍavata praṇāma at the dust of your lotus feet. All glories to Your auspicious appearance day. All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda.
Guru Mahārājā, we are eternally grateful to Kṛṣṇa that He has mercifully sent you back for us after this miraculous surgery. Every one was anxious, worried that what will happen, with all your medical problems, but at the same time, we were also convinced that Lord Narsimhadeva will protect you in every circumstance to fulfil the mission of Śrīla Prabhupāda and Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu.
Last year was full of anxiety, disturbance, speculations, fear regarding your health, but what appreciated was YOUR PATIENCE, you waited for so many months at one place which is unlike your nature, followed every instruction, did all your activities, tolerated pains and discomforts with all the patience. It is not ordinary to wait for such a long time with so many physical problems. The most astonishing thing was you have not left your dharma of preaching, even in most difficult situations you were ready to give class and help people coming closer to Kṛṣṇa.
Even while you were recovering you showed your quality of patience, doing and practicing everything what was required. Guru Mahārājā it was astonishing to see, how you inspired people all around during this phase of your Lila, almost everyone who came in your contact started chanting, hospitals are converted into temples, people were offering ghee lamps to Lord Damodara in the posh hospitals, who could inspire all these things in Kaliyuga except for you. Everyone was enquiring about your welfare, everyone was praying for you, how so many people got connected with you, this is again your pastime, to attract so many people and engage them in some service so that Kṛṣṇa is pleased, this is your transcendental trickery. By YOUR INSPIRATION so many fallen souls take your shelter and thus get connected to paramparā and to Kṛṣṇa. You are ready to give shelter to everyone unto your lotus feet without seeing any qualification or disqualification and then you inspire by your personal example and through your sincere disciples to do bhakti seriously. We could see so many doctors, nurses and other people working in various hospitals took Kṛṣṇa consciousness, it was you only who could inspire them even from hospital bed. Wherever you go you make whole atmosphere transcendental, every one feel blessed and every one is keen to take Kṛṣṇa consciousness.
Guru Mahārājā YOUR PURITY is like fragrance by which every one is attracted towards you, whosoever comes in your association gets inspired to do bhakti. Just by having your darsana one gets purified what to talk about hearing from you and having your association.
YOUR CONCERN and COMPASSION about the welfare of every soul in this universe is unique, particularly for your disciples and those who have taken shelter unto your lotus feet, it is your concern and prayers for us that we are sustaining here. The way you are trying hard to connect everyone to Kṛṣṇa, persuading them to chant, giving classes almost daily even from hospital, recovery room, during pain, during recovery, sending recorded lectures all these things indicate that how much you are concerned about our spiritual welfare. This is real compassion trying to connect everyone to Kṛṣṇa.
Guru Mahārājā we are also very much grateful to those who have cared for you during these days, they have only one point program, just to serve you and nothing else, they have left almost everything and just focussed on you, they are glorious, fortunate and blessed who have got an opportunity to serve you. Their patience, dedication, efforts and eagerness to serve is beyond description. I am very fortunate that I am connected to one of your very sincere and loving disciple Ramya Vṛndāvana Mataji, it is her great mercy that I could hear about your pastimes and glories as she is continuously singing your glories only. I am grateful to her for bringing me unto your lotus feet.
Please accept my humble obeisances again and again at the dust of your lotus feet and bless me so that I could serve you and your servants eternally.
Hare Kṛṣṇa
Servant of your servants
