My dear spiritual father Srila Gurumaharaja,
Please accept my respectful obeisances
All glories to Srila Prabhupada!!
It has been a great fortune for me to write the offering to your glorious 72nd Vyas puja.
It has been a bit different year 2020 with lot of ups and downs due to Covid-19 but by your mercy it has ended with a very positive note and our association of devotees increased even more further and your Zoom classes gave all energy and encouragement in our devotional life. We are feeling so ecstatic hearing from you on Lord Chaitanya’s pastimes and then having house visits with you gives us full bliss of connecting you directly and taking your blessings unlimitedly. I am very much indebted to your divine grace for giving this wonderful Krishna Conscious nectar with love and care.
The super association in with your Divine Grace during this pandemic gave a new life to all of us at a special time which could have become challenging but you made it ecstatic and sublime. We had so much mercy from you, we are so grateful Srila Gurudeva!
All our family members got birthday blessings so nicely from you through Zoom and we celebrated our deities anniversary also with your Divine Grace. These blessings are filling our life with lot of joy and happiness. We learnt the dedication, commitment and never give up for the mission of Srila Prabhupada from your Divine Grace.
I went through some physical challenges this year but by your mercy Srila Gurudeva, I have been doing well now and trying to engage in the devotional service wherever possible. I could see your hand and supreme blessings on me in my recovery after operation. You inspired me through your Zoom classes to carry on my service of Bhakti Vriksha preaching via Zoom too and it worked so nicely that we could start few more zoom programs during this pandemic time. We have been doing Mangal aarti programs, japa marathons, Kirtan programs, Vyuha programs, festival celebrations and picnics also on zoom platform. This all could happen by your mercy and blessings Srila Gurudeva. My wife and daughter also attend your classes regularly too and they are getting blessings and regularly rendering service as well. My daughter has been taking part in kirtan programs and inspiring her classmates also to take up Krishna Consciousness with chanting and reading.
It is always a pleasant time when you visit our homes online and bless all of us unlimitedly. We always relish those wonderful moments and feeling the bliss and spiritual ecstasy. Your Divine grace, you are always guiding and caring for each and every disciple and well-wishers personally. This is really heart touching and amazing.
Please bless me and all our group members that we can bring more and more souls to Krishna consciousness this year in London as an offering to Srila Prabhupada by following your instructions.
Thank you very much.
