Hare Krishna Dear Gurumaharaj,
Please Accept My respectful obeisances,
All Glories to Srila Prabhupada,
All Glories to your grace.
I feel very privileged to glorify your Holiness on your 72nd Vyasapuja. Guru Maharaj thank you very much for everything you have given us and for being with us in every aspect of our life. Last year because of lockdown we were able to take more of your divine association which has been transforming . Through your Chaitanya class via zoom you inspired many souls like myself to attend your class on a regular basis.
Your Divine Grace took every step to ensure that disciples hear yourself on a regular basis and get your association. Earlier only twice in a year we used to get your physical association. But because of corona and by Karuna we are able to associate with you on a daily basis. Thank you so much Guru Maharaj for all the mercy. I have slowly started developing taste in Gaura katha. Earlier I used to think Chaitanya Mahaprabhu's pastimes are very difficult to comprehend and relate to because I had not read much before. But after attending your class I am able to realise how much I have missed in the past. Now by attending your grace's class and our mentor HG Yamunesvari class I have started knowing more about Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu.
Through Jayapataka Swami App we are able to know your daily routine and get closer to you. Another great boon we got during this pandemic is through the zoom class your grace is personally blessing us on our birthdays and special occasions. Which I was thinking is such a rare opportunity where a disciple is getting a chance to meet his or her Spiritual master and get a blessing on that day. That is truly the best birthday gift one can get on their birthday. Your divine grace is truly and ocean of mercy. Your grace have come up with so many innovative ideas to keep in touch. This reminds me of how the great Kings in the past used to device ways to meet the common public to hear their problems and give solutions.
Guru Maharaj I wanted to share a small realization how by just having your divine darshan any material or Spiritual problem can be solved. Few weeks back my mother who also attends your zoom class (on and off) had not been able to attend your classes because of some civil problem and she was in so much of anxiety. One evening she called me and was sharing the problems and I told her that she is going through this because of her Karma. But the karma can be changed by having the darshan of a divine personality. So next day she attended your divine Grace's class and she got personal darshan and blessing from your grace. Immediately the very next day all the complications started to unwind and the problem was smoothly resolved in a week's time. She was very happy and understood the importance of saintly people and gave some dakshana.
Guru Maharaj just by having your darshan everyday we derive so much of spiritual strength. We beg forgiveness for any offense committed knowingly or unknowingly to your divine grace and to the devotees. Please always keep us under the shade of your Lotus feet and empower us to share Krishna Consciousness unlimitedly and extend the devotee care which your divine grace is an epitome of to all the Bhakti Vriksha Members and devotees. This year we are going to start a new cycle of Bhakti Vriksha for which I pray to your Divine grace to empower me so that I can inspire and connect more people to the Lotus feet of Guru and Gauranga. Finally I also beg that I may develop taste for chanting the Holyname purely and develop love for Guru and Krishna.
