Hare Krishna dear Gurudev,
Please accept my humble obeisance at your lotus feet. Happy birthday to you. Lord sends his representatives to preach Krishna Bhakti to conditioned souls. You are an authorized representative.
The main character of a devotee is enthusiasm.
In Upadesamrita, Rupa goswami mentions, Utsahat Niscayad dhairyad… we see all those 6 qualities in full in you. In your preaching mission, you faced many challenges. Two incidents which inspired the most for me is,
When Srila Prabhupada ordered you to visit India, you took the most economical flight and route to India so that Srila Prabhupada money shouldn’t be wasted.
When you were admitted in hospital you were preaching Japa to nurse and doctors.
I pray at your lotus feet that I also remain enthusiastic like you and preach Krishna Bhakti in Raichur. I am trying to raise funds for new Sri Radhashyamachandra Gaurachandra Mandir and, conducting Bhakti Vriksha classes in Raichur, Karnataka.
Your servant
Parvati
