Dear Guru Maharaj:
Please accept my most humble and respectable prostared obeisance's in the dust of your lotus feet on this most auspicious day of your 72nd anniversary of your divine appperance. All glories to you. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. All glories to Nitai Gauranga.
Srila Gurudeva, you have so many wonderful qualtities and this year I would like to make my offering to you based on your quality of ingenuity. This past year has presnted everyone with so many challenges due to the pandemic arisng from covid 19. Almost everyone was locked down in their homes for a while at some point and the travel industy faced major disruptions. With the lock downs, and all modes of transportation affected, people were not able to visit the holy dhams. Due to the fear of spreading the virus and getting infected, everyone was urged to stay home.Undoubtedly, the disruptions also affected your travel and preaching plans. However being a relentless fighter, you were not about to succumb to the limitations imposed by a tiny miscroscopic bug.
You came up wit the very brilliant way to continue to preach,visit your disciples and arrange festivals. Using technology in the servie of Krishna, you brought to the world the virtual festivals like the Rath Yatars and Navadvipa Parikrama on top of many others. Due to your compassion for your disciples, you continue to visit and bless us all everyday through the virtual home visits. These daily home visits have become an integral part of our spiritual lives where we get your darshans and a chance to render some service to you with the bhoga offerings. It is difficult to imagine our lives wihtout these home visits.
To continue with Srila Prabhupada's book distribution,you came up with the virtual book table where hundreds and thousands of books are sponspored everyday for distribution. All these things are possible only due to your compassion and your ingenuity.
Dear Guru Maharaj, I beg for your blessings on this most auspicious day so that I can also serve you in the same mood as you are serving Srila Prabhupada. Your mercy is my only hope. I also take this moment to beg for forgiveness for all my offences that I have committed knowingly and unknowingly at your lotus feet over the past year. My only desire is to please you and Gauranga.
Your insignificant disciple
