To,
My dear Spiritual father,
Please accept my most respectful obeisances unto your lotus feet!!! All Glories to Shrila Prabhupada…!!! All Glories to you, Shrila Gurudev…!!!
On this most auspicious day of your Holiness vyaspuja I pray to their Lordships Shri Shri Radha Madhava Ashtasakhis, Shri Prahlad Narsimhdev and Shri Panchatattva to kindly give you good health and long life for the shelter of all conditioned souls.
I beg and pray at your lotus feet to please allow me to glorify you from my heart……..
During this pandemic your Holiness has been so exemplary and most innovative in inspiring all of us to preach in most unique way through the internet!!!we had Rath Yatra, Tulsi Vivah, Gaur Purnima, Shri Navadvip Dham Parikrama, Shri Radhastami etc.where you personally visited so many disciples homes blessing us enthusiastically inspite of so many personal health issues, teaching us that devotional service should continue no matter what!! You are so compassionate to not only devotees but also to nondevotees whose hearts melt just by associating with you and they join this great army of Shrila Prabhupada!! Your Holiness we cant even imagine how much you have given us yourself so freely. This is a great boon for conditioned souls like me, we remain eternally grateful for this valuable jewels you are distributing abundantly to us!!Especially the evening lectures of pastimes of Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu ,we hear from you and are transported in that world only because of your causeless unlimited mercy!!!!! Your Holiness is so full of Lord Gaurangaaaa and Lord Nityanandaaaaa!!!!
The JPS app is one superb initiative by your Holiness!!!! Now we get to know more about your transcendental activities and realize how you practically live to serve Shrila Prabhupadas mission ,the previous acharyas desires, expansion of ISKCON, developing Shri Navadvip Mayapur dham and the TOVP temple. Your Holiness encourages everyone to visit this glorious dham and receive mercy of Shri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu!!
Gurumaharaj there are so many things that we learn from you. Exhibiting devotee care and guidance in the highest standards!!! Maintaining vaisnava ettiquettes!! Having patience and so much of tolerance!!! You mentioned that one must wear a garland of the third shloka of Shikshastakam around his neck always and Gurumaharaj you do that so easily!! You are simply amazing!! You are a true friend to everyone as you are their real well wisher!!! You’re the protector of the vaisnava teachings!! The genuine leader !! Your heart is full of love and affection for all conditioned souls!! Even in this crisis you give us hope, never to give up but perform Bhakti yoga and chant the Holy name intensely !!!
Gurudev by your mercy and the mercy of vaisnavas we are able to do some online preaching. We conducted 18 days teachings of Bhagvad Gita and now doing online Bhakti vriksha. Some members are chanting few rounds and our interested in Krishna Consciousness. Also various festivals were performed virtually as this was the only way to get vaisnav sangh so feel very blissfull!!! Also learnt to cook some new dishes for the Lordships. Gurudev please bless us to do our sadhana properly , become determined ,devoted and fixed in our service to you. You are our only shelter and saviour who have accepted us with all our faults.
We are the most fortunate to be your disciple and seek your blessings to please empower us to preach in proper mood n consciousness. I pray for all our members, seniors, Shiksha Gurus, parents, family members, my prabhu Mahanand Chaitanya das, daughters Raspriya devi dasi , Riya and myself.
Your insignificant daughter,
Preetimayi Radhika devi dasi.
