Dear Srila Gurudev,
Please accept my most respectful obeisances at your lotus feet on this auspicious day of your 72nd Holy appearance.
All glories to Srila Prabhupad.
My obeisances to your servants and doctors. They take care of your health like the mother cares for her child.
I carry in my heart sweet memories of our association.
In those early days my service was to apply and obtain your business visa, airport pickup, taking care of your shopping needs (Having Sarbat together in Baskin Robbins).
You blessed my family Premanadani Devi, Tulsi and Partha many times with your flower garland prasadam.
Your loud chanting of Gaurango and Nityananda has removed many anarthas and darkness in my heart.
Tirelessly, you were traveling worldwide, as if in a cosmic body.
Your young servants couldn't keep pace with you !!!
Many servants had to give up this service !
In 1971 Srila Prabhupad gave you Sridham Mayapur.
Today you have turned Mayapur, into the epicenter of iskcon
You spent 52 years in West Bengal and today, not only do you speak the language but also, you think in Bengali.
You identify the skills of individual souls and engage them into the service of Krishna.
As a leader of Iskcon, you never undermine the devotees’ individuality. You allow the heterogeneity in the devotee family.
You face so many challenges with your health, but you say “I am not ill”.
You show us how to live for others. You are so compassionate. Your aim is to guide us towards Krishna and his loving service.
You are very simple and your instructions are also very simple. You preach to mass population by coming down to their levels. I have seen you preaching at Kolkata ratha Yatra. You were simply preaching and transforming people’s hearts. You sing from Vaishnava bhajans so well and mesmerize the crowd
Lord Rama preached to Vanaras, in kishkindha and produced bhakta Hanuman.
Similarly you have produced many devotee Hanumans.
Begging to remain fixed on your lotus feet.
With your mercy, we are engaged in preaching in Bhaktidesh, where there are bengali, Malayalee, and hindi speaking members.
Also, HG Premanandini devi is having a group of members in MathuraDesh and in India to whom she is preaching regularly online.
Please bless us, so that we can
develop aheithuki, apritahata loving devotional service unto Lord Krishna
Your spiritual children,

and all our chakra members.
