Dear Guru Maharaja and our beloved spiritual father
Dandavat Pranams
Please accept our humble obeisance unto your Lotus Feet
All glories to Guru Maharaja
All glories to Srila Prabhupada
All glories to Shri Guru and Shri Gauranga
Hare Krishna, O dear father and spiritual master, kindly bless us and bestow your mercy so that we can write something to glorify you. As we read your books and hear about you from other great vaisnavas and disciples, we come to know more about your greatness and really feel how ignorant we are!
It is really beyond our ability and comprehension to be able to write about you but somehow, we wish to write sincerely in order to simply purify ourselves.
First of all, we wish to sincerely congratulate you on fulfilling the cherished goal of providing the protection to more than 50000 fortunate disciples. You have already surpassed this goal set-up by Srila Prabhupada. You are also constantly moving ahead to see that the most ambitious and challenging project of ISKCON, i.e. TOVP is completed before the Target Date of year 2022.
The system of Bhakti-Vriksa introduced by your Holiness is already doing wonders in introducing new persons to the ISKCON philosophy and imparting spiritual education to the general public.
If one follows through your Life’s Journey so far, it becomes very clear that nothing can stop you from achieving what you desire and you seem to have completely conquered the “Three Material Gunas” and we can practically experience the pure spiritual existence in Your Holiness.
It is impossible to recount and mention all your achievements and so just restricted to the few points as already mentioned.
We feel completely blessed and fortunate that you have so mercifully accepted us as your disciples. We can only pray for your continued wellbeing and mercy for giving us an opportunity to serve in whatever way possible.
Finally, we just humbly and earnestly pray to the Lord Shri Krishna, Shrimati Radharani, Lord Shri Laxmi Prahlad Narsimha Dev, Lord Shri Chaitanya & Nityananda Mahaprabhu and Srila Prabhupada, for fulfilling your cherished dream of being able to dance in ecstasy and bless all of us, your blessed disciples to witness this with our own eyes.
Also, the details of specific seva being carried out by us, is being mentioned below, for your pleasure:
1. Conducting weekly Srimad Bhagavad Gita (every Friday) and Srimad Bhagavatam (every Thursday) classes at our residence.
2. Holding monthly Gurugram JSSS meeting, usually on the last Sunday of every month at our residence.
3. Holding a “Japa Stall” every Sunday during “Sunday Love Feast Programme” at ISKCON Gurugram Temple, where the new visitors are encouraged to sit and chant one round of “Hare Krishna Mahamantra” on beads. They are also encouraged to continue this practice in their daily lives.
4. A special Japa Stall is also held on all Janmastami Festivals. A total of approximately 2000 persons had chanted one round of HKMM on the occasion of Janmastami in the year 2019.
5. Weekly once Mangala Aarti Seva and Raj-Bhoga Preparation Seva at Iskcon Gurugram Temple.
6. Preaching Seva as allotted periodically at Iskcon Gurugram Temple.
