Dear Guru Maharaj,
Nama Om Vishnu padaya Krsna preshtaya bhutale
Srimate Jaypataka Swami iti namine
Nama Acharyapadaya Nitai kripa pradayine
Gaura katha dhama daya Nagar grama tarine
Please accept my respectful obeisances at your lotus feet.
All glories to your unflinching determination to serve Srila Prabhupad.
All glories to your auspicious appearance day.
At your 72nd Vyasa puja, I whole heartily thank Sri Krsna, Gaura Natia, and Lord Narshmia Dev for keeping you in better health so that you can follow the footsteps of Srila Prabhupad in spreading Krishna Consciousness around the world.
My dearest Guru Maharaj, I have started attending the sat sanga for the last 5 years but did not take up Krishna consciousness very seriously due to being busy with materialistic activities. In March 2019 I had accompanied my wife to her initiation ceremony by you. My life has changed since then. In 2019 October during your Dubai visit, you had blessed us. Guru Maharaj due to your blessings I was fortunate enough to attend more classes and read more Srila Prabhupada books during covid which gave me the strong faith and conviction to take up to Krishna consciousness. Every time I have seen you I was attracted to your preaching, determination, enthusiasm, and never-give-up attitude despite all the health issues. Gurumaharaj your ability to change all negative situations into a positive Krishna Consciousness preaching opportunity has touched my heart deeply. Your dedication and commitment to following the instructions of Srila Prabhupada are unparalleled to anyone. Your daily preaching classes on the social platform and visiting devotee's homes are amazing aspects of yourself. All these things inspired me to take aspiration from you in October 2020. My wife Kalpataru Jahnava Devi Dasi had a desire to install deities in our house early last year. However, due to the lockdown restrictions of social gatherings, the installation was delayed indefinitely. During your home visit on the occasion of my daughter Tanisha's birthday, my wife expressed her desire to you and I was amazed by the way you explained how the deities could be installed and in a months time we were able to install them. Since the deities have been installed I am extremely fortunate enough to contribute and serve the deities in a small way by your mercy.
Gurudev I am indebted to you eternally and I hope and pray to you and Krishna so that me, my wife Kalpataru Jahnava dd, and my daughter Tanisha can serve you eternally.
Your eternal spiritual son,
Vinod Aravindan
