Dear Guru Maharaj,
Please accept my most respectful obeisance at your lotus feet! All glories to Srila Prabhupada! Al glories to Your Divine Grace!
On this most auspicious day of you Vyasa puja, I humbly pray to Sri Sri Radha Madhava, Panchatattva and Lord Nrsinghdev to always protect you so that you can continue to serve Srila Prabhupada and ISKCON.
Even though in this year of the Covid pandemic, there exists lockdowns and restrictions, I can see another side of Guru Maharaj’s glories manifesting. During this last one year, Guru Maharaj you are exhibiting your wonderful qualities of adapting in any situation and leading and showing us by your wonderful example. You made videos praying for the whole world and all those inflicted by Covid and using social media to reach out to disciples, devotees and others across the globe. When just about everyone was stunned by the pandemic and at a loss what to do, you lead by example by using Zoom to visit temples, disciples in their homes, give lectures to specific yatras according to their time zone. You take the time everyday to visit some devotees at their home and give your blessings and if their birthdays to bless them and you also visited my home last year through Zoom. I was so happy! It reminds me of the times when you visited Malaysia during Diwali festival and you would go and visit as many as 50 disciples homes in a day! It was an ecstatic experience as I had the opportunity to be in the convoy of cars that followed you! Unforgettable experience, sheer bliss! This is a sheer caring and loving mood that you give to all. You are on Facebook, twitter, telegram, Instagram. Here we can see your wonderful quality of using everything in Krishna’s service, yukta vairagya!
Now apart from all the zoom classes and visits to devotee homes, Guru Maharaj, you are regularly attending other meetings especially TOVP meetings. Then you never miss your daily Caitanya lila compilation class. You have such a tight schedule which is inconceivable besides answering emails etc!
And even though you were infected with corona virus, you only took a few days rest. And then back in full swing! My dear Guru Maharaj, this is what you are manifesting all the more this year that you are UNSTOPPABLE! Please Guru Maharaj, bless me that I can have a very tiny percent of that quality of yours and I be able to execute devotional service for your pleasure.
Listening to your Caitanya lila classes are like the passport to enter and witness the intimate pastimes of Lod Caitanya. Those classes are pure nectar and who can fathom my great fortune to enter those pastimes by hearing from Your Divine Grace! Thank you Guru Maharaj for allowing me to witness that and your ecstasies while relating these pastimes! You inspire me so much!
Please Guru Maharaj on you auspicious Vyasa puja day please bless me that I will be steady in my services to you and Srila Prabhupad and please protect me that I will not fall in to maya.
I beg to remain, your spiritual daughter,
Kripatita devi dasi, Penang, Malaysia.
