My dear spiritual father,
Please accept my respectful obeisance! All glories to Srila Prabupad! All glories to you!
Gurudev, I’m glad to inform you that with your blessings, we have confirmed the marriage of our son Sachin with Priya Kishori DD, a disciple of HH Radhanath Swami mhj. She serves ISKCON Silicon Valley temple under the able guidance of HG Vaisesika prabhu. We are planning to keep their wedding next year. We’ll come and invite you personally when things are developed. I’m also happy to inform you that our daughter Suchitra has taken aspiration from HH BB Govind Swamy Maharaj last year and promised to serve him and all vaishnavas faithfully.
I’m happily doing my Bhakti Vaibhav Module 1 & 2 together. In the yatra, along with my prabhu I’m doing looking after the finance. Also, I’m part of cultural committee and Kirtan committee. I’m learning playing harmonium, singing Hare Krsna Mahamantra and Vaishnava bhajan from HG Swarup Damodar Prabhu. I’m doing one Bhakti Vrksha with ladies. Few more ladies have requested with me to start another Bhakti Vrksha on line as they are working and were not able to make it at day time on week days.
Despite of your poor healthy condition you are still serving Srila Prabhupada’s mission as a stalwart general. Many a times I use to see your awe-inspiring power as a leader without deviating from the principles of a Vaishnava in the devotional service. I think the word impossible is not there in your vocabulary. The example you are setting through your life is ‘keep up the efforts until the time of death and Never Give up, we’ll go back to god head!!
You are empowered by Srila Prabhupada to preach and change the lives of thousands of your disciples forever. With the blessings of your Guru Maharaj, you are making wonders. I’m still struck up with wonders and in the state of un belief that you have taken risk to help 50,000 disciples to go back home back to god head. I would be happy if I get an opportunity to help you in whatever way I can with my little knowledge and limited exposure & capability. I’m learning from you how to keep good devotee relationship, devotee care and keeping a genuine friendship with them and work together only with the intention of fulfilling your promise to your Guru Maharaj.
Recently we had a fortune of hosting HG Ojaswini Radhika Mataji for a night at our house. She is one of your Peruvian disciples who is living in Mayapur with her family. From our very brief meeting and little time spent together I understood that you are their life and their life is around you and you only.
In another occasion, we came to the terrace of your residential quarters at Mayapur for the regular evening darshana session, the moment you gave your darsana, many of my god sisters started jumping and shouting your name in ecstasy while I was just standing and watching you and them. That time I told myself, is my heart made up of stone? Why is it not melting when you see your spiritual father and feel this ecstacy that others and experiencing and exhibiting? What to do?! I have neither devotion to Krsna nor Guru Bhakti on you. I’m so unfortunate that I’m not able to take advantage of your physical presence in this material world and experience this ecstasy.
My sincere prayers to Lord Nrsimhadev for your long and pain free, healthy life.
Your eternally indebted & loyal spiritual daughter
Vrinda Nandini Devi Dasi
