Harekrishna Guru Maharaja,
Please accept by respectful obeisances!
All glories to Guru and Gauranga!
All glories to Srila Prabhupada!
My dear spiritual father,
All glories to you on your auspicious appearance day!
As always I am in loss of words to express my immense gratitude to you for showering mercy on me and my family.
On your auspicious 72nd Vyasapuja day I am very glad to write an offering glorifying you with an acronym of the word SPIRITUAL MASTER, hope it pleases you.
Saint - My Guru Maharaja is a perfect saint, his saintly qualities are evident in each of his actions according to time place and circumstance.
Pure - He is pure in his mind, body spirit which can be seen in his day to day activities. He always follows the principle on Purity is the force.
Inspiration - He inspires me with his Vani which always focussed on devotee care. He is attending Bhakti Vaibhav classes, in spite of him being well versed in Srimad Bhagavatham which inspired me and many to join the same.
Robust- He is robust with unimaginable energy, always giving Caitanya Caritamrita classes, Zoom meetings, attending meetings, not missing one day online Mangalaarti. He is 24/7 spreading the message of Krishna so that it reaches one and all. Especially in this Corona pandemic time when everyone is low on energy he is charging each one of us with power of Krishna.
Invaluable – My spiritual father is an invaluable treasure not only to me but to the whole mankind. I will never be able to fathom the value of mercy and blessings he has been showering on me and my family.
Tolerant- His body is giving him so much trouble, but he is extremely tolerant. Never once I have heard him complain about any pain. He is the perfect example proving I am not the body but a spirit soul.
Unique- He is unique in whatever he does. In spite of being an American he speaks Bengali language so fluently, he learnt it especially to connect with the locals. He has taught innovative ways of farming to the locals who still talk about it. He keeps chanting and keeping the count in every activity like distributing prasadam, cycling.
Amazing - He always warns us on the impact of Vaishnava Aparadh. Not once have I heard him finding faults with anybody or saying anything against anybody. His tireless work to build the Mayapur Candrodaya temple is unimaginable.
Love- He is the epitome of love for all the living entities. He distributes love to one and all with no discrimination. He does not see the qualification of the receiver.
Mystic- He knows inside and out of each and every devotee. We may be meeting him after many years still he will inquire as if we have met just yesterday.
Astonishing - He is a multitasker, unthinkable in his physical state. Even a normal person cannot meet his pace. He tirelessly strives to serve the mission of Srila Prabhupada.
Sweet -He is sweeter than the sweetest. He appreciates even if one does a small service and encourages one and all to preach and do any service according to one's capacity.
Teacher-My Gurudeva, walks the talk. He preaches whatever he practices. Always he insists one and all to follow the Guru Parampara.
Eager- He is always eager to bring every person to Krishna Consciousness. When he was in the hospital for treatment he preached to the nurses, doctors and told them not necessary they have to chant on beads they can chant in clicker and he gifted all off them with clicker. In this way he is eager to instil Krishna Consciousness in whoever he meets.
Radiant- He is radiant with knowledge spiritual and material. I was amazed to see how not only does Guru Maharaja has complete spiritual knowledge but he is updated in current affairs, corona status of each state, technology, you name it he knows it.
All the above glories are limited compared to your unlimited qualities. The immense love you have towards Srila Prabhupada is unparalleled. Please bless me and my family that we can serve you always and help you in the mission of Srila Prabhupada.
Always indebted to you
Your spiritual daughter
