My dear spiritual father Śrīla Guru Mahārāja,
Please accept my respectful obeisances. All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda!
It has been a great fortune for me to write the offering to your glorious 71st Vyasa-puja.
It has been a great year with your merciful association in London in November 2019 and Birmingham in January 2020, spiritual energy is flowing in my life with full of bliss and ecstacy by your mercy. I am very much indebted to Your Divine Grace for giving this wonderful Kṛṣṇa Conscious family with love and care.
The super association in with Your Divine Grace gave a new life to all of us at a special time of Bhisma-Pancaka. We had so much mercy from you, we are so grateful Śrīla Gurudeva!
The celebration of your 50th Sannyāsa year was simply superb. We learnt the dedication, commitment and never give up for the mission of Śrīla Prabhupāda from Your Divine Grace.
My wife and daughter got special mercy from you during both your visits to UK. My daughter got an opportunity to take blessings from you and narrate the Dāmodara pastime for which she was so happy and felt complete ecstasy. Now that she has taken aspiration from you, she is regularly chanting and reading Bhagavad-gītā and trying to help in service as well. We as a family went to Africa for Dāmodara month preaching in 2019 with your blessings and mercy. It was really nice to see African people singing and dancing on the holy name. they are so innocent and really deserve the mercy of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu. We had a massive church program where 600 Congolese people offered ghee lamp to Lord damodar and sang and danced in ecstasy. They all received fruit prasādam after the event. His Grace Oṁ Caitanya Prabhu had organised all these preaching events so we can assist Your Divine Grace in the mission of Śrīla Prabhupāda. Although there are many challenges in Congo preaching but by your mercy we are quite hopeful that it is possible to preach these Congolese people.
It was a great pleasant time when you visited London last year and blessed all of us unlimitedly. We are still relishing those wonderful moments and feeling the bliss and spiritual ecstasy. Your Divine Grace, you are always guiding and caring for each and every disciple and well-wishers personally. This is really heart touching and amazing.
Please bless me and all our group members that we can bring more and more souls to Kṛṣṇa consciousness this year in London as an offering to Śrīla Prabhupāda by following your instructions.
Thank you very much.
Your Insignificant Servant,
Yogeśvara Gopīnātha dāsa (dīkṣā disciple)
