Dear Beloved Gurudev,
Upon glancing at your great personality I can only stare in awe and remain speechless, let alone I am given the task to write about you. I consider myself completely unqualified to write about your glories, yet here I am. Your great selfless service onto the lotus feet of lord Krishna is unparalleled to anything someone has ever done before, at this age and that too in such a condition. I pray to Krishna everyday to reveal to me the source of your rigorous energy and to give me the same motivation. Everyday you are in a different country and it's hard to keep up with your progress, even in your present health condition and no matter the time zone you never fail to quit your constant preaching activities. You are the source of inspiration and motivation to many around the world, especially me. Your tireless preaching inspires me to start teaching the world the names of the lord and help Lord Chaitanya’s mission. Even with many obstacles in your way, you keep moving forward just as an elephant crushes ants in his path. I can only wish to get a tiny sliver of your mercy to preach the holy names of the lord around the world, just like you do..Srila Prabhupad is very fortunate to have you as his disciple and I am even more fortunate to call you my GuruMaharaj. I pray to Krishna that on this auspicious day that you will remain at the frontlines in the battle of maya with us for a longer time and that Krishna will be merciful unto all of us and allows you to deliver the fallen souls such as me for a bit longer. Happy appearance day gurumaharaj!
