"Nama Om Vishnu padaya Krsna presthaya bhutale
Srimate Jayapataka swamin iti namine,
Nama Acharya padaya Nitai kripa pradayine
Gaura katha dhama daya nagara grama tarine"
Please accept my humble obeisances Dear Guru Maharaja! Dandavat Pranams!!
Although being born in an affluent socio-cultural situation in America, you have selflessly and tirelessly dedicated your entire life for the Sankirtan Movement under the flagship of ISKCON.
On the order of Srila Prabhupada, when you came to India, you had to actually face countless difficulties, which you did accept humbly upon yourself on behalf of Srila Prabhupada. For reviving the Vedic culture, you travelled to new and old towns and villages of India, giving the people there pure transcendental knowledge and engaging them in pure devotional services.
For this noble mission to succeed, especially in the region of Bengal, you also learned the Bengali language. Also, for spreading the culture of Krsna Consciousness you often had to
travel many times in a year to the other countries of the world. But, we now are seeing the sumptuous fructification of your selfless labour of pure love in numerous towns and villages of
the world!
Guru Maharaja, you took to the cause of guiding the Grhastha devotees by translating the Godruma Kalpatavi, with practical instructions and words of encouragement from Srila
Bhaktivinoda Thakur. Guru Maharaja you are trying your level best to encourage everyone in Krsna Consciousness, and for that matter you are accepting all the outward physical sufferings with gratitude, considering it Krsna's causeless mercy.
I pray at the lotus feet of Lord Gauranga, that may you be blessed with good health and may you continue to shower us all by your merciful association for many many years to come.
Your spiritual student and servant
