Dear Guru Maharaja,
Om anjana timirandhasya
jnanjanjana salakaya
caksur unmilitan yena
tasmai sri guruve namah
Please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. All glories to your auspicious appearance day.
I was born in the ocean of nescience and darkness and was rotting in the whirlpool of material existence but due to our causeless mercy, Guru Maharaja, my darkened eyes have been opened by your Holiness and was given light of knowledge by you so that I have been able to render devotional service to Lord Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead.
I must consider this as some unknown piety or anjata-sukriti, otherwise it would not have been possible to approach you and take shelter at your lotus feet. I have been fortunate enough among the millions and billions of suffering conditioned souls to get your mercy in order to understand my relationship as a spirit soul with Supreme Lord Krishna in the form of His eternal servant (jivera svarupa haya Krishnera nitya das) This is also confirmed in Chaitanya Charitamrta madhya-lila -
brahmanda bhramite kono bhagyavana jiva
guru krishna prasade paya bhakti-lata-bija
Even today after lapse of about 36 years, I just recollect your merciful association and guidance given to this fallen condiioned soul when way back in 1985 your Holiness had come to Nairobi, Kenya for its first ever Jagannatha Ratha-yatra Festival. You had kindly agreed to stay at my house for 3-4 days and I was very fortunate to render personal service to you during that time. Your divine presence at the Ratha-yatra Festival had encouraged hundreds and thousands of devotees in East Africa who came to participate in the festival.
Guru Maharaja, you had recently (during Zoom visit and darsana at my home in Pune last year) instructed and encouraged me to begin Bhagavad Gita lecture series in Pune via You tube channel on the same lines as being done in Chennai by my Godbrothers.
I am trying to work out Bhagavad Gita lecture series on You tube channel and with Your Holiness blessings, I may be able to start this program soon.
Finally, I will be really grateful to have your personal association sooner or later this year as I wish to come to Mayapur Dham for your divine darsana, Guru Maharaja. I have been constantly praying to Lord Nrsimhadeva and Lord Krishna for your good health, long life so that our Iskcon movement worldwide will continue to get your leadership, guidance and divine vision.
Your obedient disciple and servant
Dindayal das
