Dear Gurudeva,
Please accept our respectful obeisances.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
All glories to you!
We pray to Lord Narsimha Dev to always keep you in good health so you can continue serving Srila Prabhupada and give us your merciful association.
Due to pandemic situation, we are not able to go to temple, but we have been doing service from our home and we have been fortunate to hear your class regularly. You are always an inspiration to us on how to make the most of every situation. You use all the social media to reach out to fallen souls like us.
Our local GBC has asked us and a few families to start a center in Oakville. In the beginning it was difficult for me to accept these instructions as I was too comfortable in doing regular services in ISKCON Brampton. But when I looked at you preach in even the most uncomfortable situation, I realized how it is important to get out of our comfort zone. We have started a new center since August 2020. Currently we are doing regular Saturday classes for children and adults separately on zoom. These are brand new families who we met through social media and other sources. We are nurturing them through the bhakti vriksha programs. Currently there are 2 bhakti vriksha programs (new families) going on in Oakville and 1 sanga for seasoned devotees. Under the direction of the local GBC, we have been conducting a sanga for yoga people and western community.
In parallel to this new project, we are still doing our regular pujari, classes, Deity dressings, teaching bhakti shastri, mentoring new families, festivals and book distribution service in the ISKCON Brampton temple. We have also joined the Bhakti Vaibhava course with Mayapur institute so that we can keep learning the shastras.
On the occasion of your vyasa puja, we would like to offer the services to you. We seek your blessings so that we can continue serving you in serving Srila Prabhupada’s mission.
Your spiritual daughter & family,
Prema Gaurangi Devi Dasi,
Aindra Das & Bhakta Dhruv
