Dear Guru Mahārāja,
Please accept our respectful obeisances. All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda and to your lotus feet.
Guru Mahārāja, whatever we are today is only because of your mercy and blessings. You are a source of constant inspiration. Pandemic or no pandemic… you are on with your work of fulfilling the mission of Śrīla Prabhupāda to spread Kṛṣṇa consciousness to as many as possible.
Your daily schedule is packed with so many meetings throughout the day and this must be really tiring. Many of your senior disciples also approach you through video conferencing seeking advice on various issues. There are so many physical limitations. In spite of that, every evening you talk on Caitanya-līlā, every Saturday morning on Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam. Your innovative way of keeping in touch with devotees by way of virtual visits to so many houses all over the world has inspired them to practice devotional service more seriously. Your virtual visits have purified our houses. Similarly virtual initiation is a new thing in ISKCON introduced by you.
You have been encouraging all your disciples to conduct virtual classes and this you are teaching by personal example. The sincerity with which you are conducting the virtual classes is really inspiring. As per your desire, we are also conducting both Bhagavad-gītā and Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam classes online, but we need your mercy to make it really successful.
Guru Mahārāja, on this auspicious day we seek your blessings to increase our commitment in our sevā to you, to guru-paramparā, to the Vaiṣṇavas and to Rādhā Mādhava and thus progress in our devotional service.
Your humble servants,
Vaikuṇṭhapati dāsa,
Lokamātā Lakṣmī devī dāsī
