Dearest Guru Maharaj!
Please accept our respectful obeisances at your lotus feet! All Glories to Srila Prabhupada!
The beginning of the year had us very worried with you turning positive for the COVID-19. And we thank Lord Gauranga, Lord Nrsimhadeva for having got you out of it safely! Sometimes I wonder if this is your lila guru maharaja, to get us all sleeping and lazy souls to buck up and do our sadhanas properly and sincerely! You are always thinking of ways to purify and uplift us dearest gurudeva! Your mercy is unlimited! And again and again, we consider ourselves most fortunate to be under the fold of your shelter. We know we can face any situation, since we have your lotus hand over our head!
We are praying to Śrīla Prabhupāda that you are able to get ISKCON to make the paradigm shift and get everyone serious about making thousands of acaryas to begin with. I cannot really estimate your love and dedication to Śrīla Prabhupāda with my measly mind but definitely, he is there with you at every step and guiding you.
Your Sri Krsna Caitanya Book compilation classes are transcendental and we enjoy and relish your rendition, and waiting eagerly for the book to take shape, with Lord Gauranga and Śrīla Prabhupāda’s mercy! Your virtual visits to our homes after Caitanya Lila class are something we look forward to everyday and don’t want to miss any! The Jayapataka Swami App has been a great source of keeping us in touch with your daily activities and this way we get to hear your vani day and night, and I am grateful that with your mercy I have the good fortune of checking the app messages transcribed by Puja day in and day out! Thank you dearest guru maharaja for having given me the service of transcribing your vani. Please bless me that I am able to continue doing this service till as long as I am in this body.
My husband, Vijay has taken aspiring from you on March 5th this year, on our marriage anniversary day. He is chanting 2 rounds every day, maybe one odd day in a month he misses to chant. He has started observing Ekadasi with me but some days are not good when he goes to work. Please, please continue to pray for him – my only desire is that we as a Krsna conscious couple can serve you wholeheartedly, dearest gurudeva!
Our daughter Madhavi Gopi and her husband Aman, are in their new home in Brampton, Canada. And they have named it ‘Dina Doyal Nivas’ with your advice. Madhavi is doing Bhakti Sastri and Aman chants the Hare Krsna maha mantra three times every day! He is eating mostly prasadam at home. I know you are praying for them guru maharaja!
We continue to pray to Śrīla Prabhupāda and the guru parampara that they continue to empower you to fulfill Śrīla Prabhupāda’s instructions.
We love you very much dearest gurudeva, and thank you again and again from the bottom of our hearts for showering your mercy on us.
Your insignificant spiritual children,
Jayaraseshwari dasi
Bhakta Vijay
