Dear Guru Mahārāja,
Please accept my respectful obeisances unto your lotus feet.
All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda.
All glories to Your Divine Grace.
On this most auspicious day, I wish to inform you that Śrīla Prabhupāda's legacy is being taken forward in spite of so many high tides and turbulent storms in the ocean of material existence, rescuing countless spirit souls from the whirlpool of birth, death, old age, and disease through your different visionary innovative preaching programs like Bhakti vrksha, Nāmahaṭṭa, Damodar month festival, purushottama adhika masa etc.,You have so expertly designed this transcendental ship that in spite of innumerable storms in the turbulent ocean, the progress is unaffected. You as a perfect captain, trained your dedicated disciples to navigate through all kinds of difficulties. In turn, they are also training their dependants to become worthy, sincere and competent followers of Your Divine Grace.
Guru Mahārāja, Your glories are practically being witnessed around the world, how by Lord's mercy impossible things can become possible. Lord being Achyuta never fails in protecting His devotees, He is showing through You, what it means to be a Pure devotee and His unique reciprocation and special care upon His pure devotees. Because You are so pure, you have
accomplished tasks given by Śrīla Prabhupāda and continue to give Your valuable association and guidance to us. The transplant surgery which you have gone through is an unimaginable risk and challenge. The whole world was praying for You to save you but the astonishing fact is that You have extended Your sweet will just to save the fallen souls and inaugurate TOVP for the whole world to come and take shelter of Lord Gaurāṅga Mahaprabhu's lotus feet in Śrī dhāma Māyāpur. The strong determination you have to serve the movement, in front of it, your health issue has become almost insignificant. So, you have crossed it just like a one crosses the water in calf's footprint.
Guru Mahārāja, by your causeless mercy you are reclaiming the conditioned souls to the lotus feet of Śrīla Prabhupāda and Śrī Kṛṣṇa. You are our true example to understand the meaning of empowerment or Kṛṣṇa sakthi. So, on this auspicious appearance day, I beg to Your divine grace to give me strength to become a good devotee and help myself and help the society. I'm always aware that I have been given many managerial responsibilities in India and few other zones, please make me more and more responsible so that I can shoulder your weight that you are lovingly bound to assist Śrīla Prabhupāda. Whenever I look at younger bright generation, I realize that they are the future leaders of our society. I want to take care of them as a servant and help them to become competent leaders of our society, especially in Tirupati and other parts of Andhra Pradesh. As I am serving you, I feel the urgent need to serve them by strict training in teaching and principles laid down by Śrīla Prabhupāda with utmost love and care. Please bless me Guru Mahārāja so that I can execute these duties properly and always remain engaged in serving your lotus feet.
Always aspiring to remain at the dust of your lotus feet,
Your eternal servant,
Revatī Ramaṇa dāsa and devotees of Tirupati.
