Dear Gurumaharaj,
Please accept my most respectful and grateful obeisances at the dust
of your divine lotus feet.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
All glories to Your Divine Grace.
Srila Prabhupada instructed your divine grace to develop Sri Dham
Mayapur. Among the unlimited matchless gifts you have given us, you
have developed and given us divine abode with all the necessary
facilities for the worldwide devotees to feel comfortable and
experience the sweetness of Sri Gauranga Mahaprabhu.
After years of expectation, the construction of a magnificent and
gorgeous temple in Mayapur is under progress. The topmost
holy Dham in Kali-yuga will be glorified around the world. To give a
suitable residence for the beloved deities Sri Sri Radha Madhav
Ashta Sakhis, Sri Pancha-Tattva, Sri Prahlad-Nrsimha and the entire
parampara is your sincere desire. Keeping this vision in mind, you
are inspiring thousands and thousands of devotees to accomplish this
enormous undertaking even at the risk of all bodily discomforts.
With all your expertise, you are motivating and inspiring devotees
from all parts of the world and mobilizing them for different
logistics and manpower, public relations, and crucially, extensive
fund-raising. With all dedication to please Srila Prabhupada, the
savior of the world, you are one of the main inspiration and impetus
in this difficult endeavor.
Krsna is always thinking of the fallen souls -- when they will
return to Him -- and the spiritual master, who is fully fulfilling
the desire of the Lord, that the conditioned souls may be awakened
from their darkness and send them back to Him. Lord declares that
worship of such a spiritual master is more pleasing to
Him than worship of Himself. As the vast mercy of Sri Caitanya
Mahaprabhu conquers all directions, a flood of transcendental
ecstasy is certainly overflowing in all the cities, towns and
villages on the earth, and from all the oceans, seas, rivers, and
streams. When all the sinful, miserable living entities become
happy, the Vaisnavas' desire is then fulfilled. Your desire is for
us to cooperate, maintain and assist your mission.
Guru Maharaj, you succeeded in the order of your spiritual master,
working tirelessly day and night to propagate the *Sankirtan* Movement
of Lord Caitanya Maha Prabhu with such intense enthusiasm even when
are tested covid positive. It's a great inspiration for all the
disciples to follow your awesome example and also accomplish
super-human feats of devotion. Thus as a fully-realized devotee, You
are injecting into all our hearts a deep taste for the Holy Name and a
steady desire to also give access to this great blessing to all future
generations.
The secret of your miraculous success is, in my own words, your
unconditional faith in the words of Srila Prabhupada. Such pure
*guru-nistha* is the inestimable example to nourish our own desire to
become your worthy servants and representatives. We will forever
remain in awe of your unique greatness, as our constant meditation is
to improve and strengthen the attentiveness in chanting the holy names
of Krsna. By your surrender and prayer, you enlisted the assistance of
the Supreme Personality of Godhead Himself, and in this way, you are
making impossible possible.
O master, you came to deliver us from this ocean of nescience. You
are empowered for this purpose with Lord Krsna's own internal
energy, non-different from Him. I am begging you, please forgive my
our offenses at your lotus feet, and bestow your mercy upon us.
Please instruct us, make us realize, so we may understand your inner
heart and will be able to serve you selflessly.
Your eternal servant,
Revati Raman Das and devotees of ISKCON, Tirupati
