While it would have been a wonderful program if we had all come together to celebrate and glorify Guru Maharaj, However, we are fortunate that we are able to modern technology to have a virtual Vyasa Puja for you from the comfort of our homes.
Guru Maharaj, you successfully completed the one year quarantine period in Aug 2019 and you started travel. We were fortunate to have you in UAE and you also reached out to disciples in Europe and USA, South America.
Guru Maharaj, you are a pioneer in Bhakti Vrksa program & the concept of Shrddha Kutir – which is a perfect model that can work even amidst the Covid atmosphere.
Guru Maharaj, your service to Srila Prabhupada and his movement and continuing to keep up the victory flag of Lord Caitanya’s movement and ISKCON is something that the entire movement should be proud of.
Guru Maharaj, your determination to reach out to people from all walks of life, rich and poor, without discrimination and inspiring disciples world over is something that Srila Prabhupada will be most pleased with.
You, continue to contribute to the management of ISKCON being a part of the GBC and continue efforts for TOVP exhibits.
We as disciples, have a great responsibility to support the glorious endeavors now and in the future and make it our life’s missions too. We would all need to look at opportunities for us to personally get involved in serving you, Guru Maharaja in the multifaceted responsibilities that you are handling and in fulfilling the instructions Srila Prabhupada has given to you, Guru Maharaj and the GBCs.
We as disciples have a great responsibility to celebrate GM’s 50th Sanyas year. This is a special achievement for Srila Prabhupada’s movement. While we are making the best of the virtual Vyasa Puja, we look forward eagerly to be at Sridham Mayapur to be with Gurumaharaja for Sri RAdhastami and Guru Maharaja’s 50th anniversary of Sanyasa.
We pray to Sri Sri Radha Madhava & Asta Sakhi, Sri Prahlad Nrsimha, Sri Sri Pancha Tattva and Sri Sri Jagannatha Baladeva & Subhadra deities and all the holy dhams and devotees to continue to give you improved health and for us to serve you in person and serve your mission forever.
Your servant,
Sri Vallabha das
