Hare Krishna Guru Maharaj,
Please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet Gurudev. All Glories to Srila Prabhupad and All Glories to You Guru Maharaj!!
Gurudev I feel myself extremely blessed to be your disciple. It is because of your causeless mercy that has inspired me to become more and more serious in krishna consciousness.
There are so many wonderful qualities that one can learn from you gurudev.
Your determination & enthusiasm to serve Srila Prabhupad even in this situation is not an ordinary thing. This shows that what ever may be our external circumstances, we should atleast do our basic which is completing our daily sadhana ie; chanting our 16 rounds. You have shown us how to be an ideal disciple. Nothing should stop us from doing us duties no matter what.
In this age and time, no one bothers so much about others. Every one is busy living their own life. No one checks on each other how are they, what is going on. But You Gurudev is so caring and concerned about your disciples. This time when I had been to Sri Dham Mayapur, You had asked some questions. Not only this time when ever we get a chance to meet you, You show so much care and concern. Who is so worried about us at this age? You genuinely care for us and in this generation this is what attracts us to you Guru Maharaj.
During the Nava Dwip Parikrama this time, on one day the devotees were so tired to walk. there was still a lot to go. You were watching from the Mayapur TV and could understand that the devotees were so tired and could not walk more. And you arranged a boat ride so that no one had to walk more. This shows how much you care and love your disciples.
During the evening class one night, there was a storm this time in mayapur. There was heavy wind and it started raining heavily. Everyone got afraid & started leaving. Usually in Mayapur the storm doesnt stop quickly. It gets worse and worse. At that time you raised your hands and chanted Gaurangaaa and the rain stopped. Every one could go home safely. And you also waited for everyone to leave and then you left. From this I understood a lot of things. First that Guru Maharaj is always there to protect us. You are always there for us. You will never us. And also You are not an ordinary soul at all.
You also encouraged us girls to preach. You mentioned that when boys can go to various colleges to preach why can't girls preach & there was a girls camp arranged for youth develpoment this time.
I Pray to Gauranga Mahaprabhu that you are always in your best health so we can get your association always!!!
Seeking shelter at your lotus feet,
Deepapriya Gandharvika Devi Dasi.
