Dear Guru Maharaja,
Please accept my respectful obeisances. All glories to you, Guru Maharaja. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
This morning I heard a wonderful offering by HH Tamal Krishna Goswami Maharaja to you on your Vyasa Puja in 1993. Maharaja described how surrendered you were to the Krishna consciousness movement from your very first day at the temple. Hearing about your glorious qualities was very inspiring.
One especially striking quality he mentioned was your ability to think very deeply. Since then, I've been reflecting on how thoughtful you are, Guru Maharaja. You are always thinking about the welfare of others; How others may be benefited; How they may come closer to Krishna. You are kind and concerned about everyone - whether it be preaching to some Christian nurses at the ICU or arranging to shower cool water on the roads of Navadvipa Mandala so the devotees who are walking barefoot on parikrama may feel some relief. You think of everything!
I was also reflecting on how you arranged to distribute dry prasadam to all the devotees here in Mayapur on Ram Navami day during the fast breaking time, anticipating that devotees may struggle during this lock down period. Thank you for caring so much!
Thank you for displaying to us the causeless mercy of Lord Nityananda and your exemplary service attitude through your activities. Thank you for being so exemplary in constantly meditating on Srila Prabhupada's instructions and endeavouring with your life and soul to fulfil them. Thank you for showing us by your own example how we are not this body, but the spirit soul.
I consider myself most fortunate to be connected to you through your spiritual son, HG Ādi Gaurasundara Prabhu, and pray we may both be of service to you in Srila Prabhupada's glorious movement.
Your spiritual daughter-in-law and niece,
Govinda-priya dasi
