Hare Krishna dear Gurudev ,
Please accept our respectful obeisances,
All glories to Srila Prabhupad, All glories to you !!
We take this wonderful opportunity to thank you immensely for all that you have been doing for us , ever since you took up the mission of Srila Prabhupad as your life and soul !
It is very inspiring and something that we as disciples should learn from you on how much you 'care for the devotees' . Anybody with even a mild physical discomfort would like to take a break from his or her duties. Inspite of major life threatening surgeries with multiple needles poking into you and blood being transfused and doctor visits being scheduled on and off , the spirit of enthusiasm you possess in attending meetings , giving classes, overseeing the construction of the TOVP and many of the other aspects of your commitments to Srila Prabhupad, is commendable and proves beyond doubt how you are a special personality, whom Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu has mercifully sent for delivering his wonderful bhakti-shakti to so many of us fallen souls. We thank you for revealing the wondrous pastimes and mood of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu in the form of your wonderful compilation , which you are carrying on everyday, despite your delicate health.
You are practically living your life as a pure devotee, as a wonderful example for all of us, dear Guru maharaj. We should be very very fortunate to have taken shelter under the Lotus Feet of one who doesn't have a tinge of personal desire or pride towards any spiritual accomplishments ,but one whose whole life, body and soul is meant to satisfy the spirit and instructions of Srila Prabhupad... Srila Prabhupad also used to remark always, that how his life was simply meant to please and follow the instructions of his Gurudev, 'Srila Bhakti Siddhanta Saraswati Goswami maharaj'. In this way, you are setting an ideal example for all of us and understand the mood of the vaishnava parampara system , Srila Gurudev.
Your Holiness mentioned many times, how you are living and enduring all difficulties , simply to see the 'TOVP' being completed. Please bless us and empower us dear Gurudev, to be able to follow in your footsteps , just as your whole life is dedicated to the pleasure of your spiritual master.
Thank you very very much for always caring and praying for us.
Your spiritual children,
