Vyāsa-pūjā 2020

Our dear most Guru Mahārāja,

Please accept our respectful obeisances unto your lotus feet on this auspicious day. All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda!

All glories to Your Divine Grace! 

First of all, let me offer my prayers for your good health so you can travel and preach as you desire. Amidst so much austerity, tolerating the ever growing pains you continue to inspire us by your association. The unimaginable amount of love and care you have for your disciples and your desire to be accessible to them makes you undertake strenuous travels, which is next to impossible to anyone else with similar health conditions.
Dear Guru Mahārāja, when will I realize your value and surrender unto you? Begging your mercy so I can become a sincere disciple. 

Seeing you in Atlanta and Alachua in November 2019 and Jan 2020 , we had a chance to witness your commitment to serve Śrīla Prabhupāda and your outpouring love and care for all of us. 

We cherish those moments when we were walking beside when you were cycling, seeing you take darśana of Deities and offering lamps to Śrīla Prabhupāda, and hearing your classes.  You took time to meet families and devotees from each Yatra, the serpentine line never ending- You patiently sat through and met each group - more than what anyone can physically do. When we met you, you asked how the Charlotte Yatra was going on and what you can do for us. 

We are trying to do Bhakti vṛkṣa programs and few families have joined us. We are not able to systematically expand and we are trying to fix the issues. Requesting your blessings as Charlotte has so many souls hankering for Krishna consciousness. We are able to do some kids program and distribution of Bhagavad-gītā in motels and Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam sets. Last year we did about 500 Gītās in motels and 9 Bhāgavatam sets. Begging your mercy so we may assist you in a tiny way in your huge goal of distributing 100,000 small books and 10,000 big books every month. 

You had said that,  you have a disease and it is that any person whom you meet, you think how to bring him /her close to Kṛṣṇa. If only I can remember this when I meet new people, how much I can serve you.
