Hare Krishna!
Dear Guru Maharaja,
please accept my respectful obeisances in the dust of Your Divine Lotus Feet
on the occasion of the most auspicious day of Your Holy Vyasa-puja!
My dear Guru Maharaja, the source of enlivening and faith in my devotional life, hope you are well and recuperating nicely. On this Vyasa-puja day worshipping your Divine Personality of Spiritual Master, a Savior of this world, most merciful and kind, I would like to offer you a small report on my devotional service in assisting you in your mission and for your satisfaction.
Inspired with your instructions on internet preaching and with your example of tireless ecstatic virtual preaching especially of Gaura-lila despite of all your physical challenges, last year we continued the internet preaching especially during the holy months of Purusottama and Karttika as a part of the vratas for these months for your pleasure. Around 100 lectures had been given in English and in Russian on 10 Canto on “Prayers of Lord Brahma” followed by sweet astakas and bhajanas prescribed for these months. On Bahulastami day together with our sanga group we had been chanting Radha-kripa-kataksa-stava-raja by Rupa Gosvami in the holy nectarine waters of Radha-kunda in Caitanya Matha. Then we continued our Srimad Bhagavatam sanga group discussions online every week.
Inspired by your wonderful work of compilation of ecstatic Caitanya book endowed with your divine great love for Gauranga and Nityananda, by your mercy our publishing team completed compilation of the Ekacakra guide book, where we described 30 holy places of Ekacakra and the early years of Lord Nityananda's life there in details. This book is dedicated to you, my dear Spiritual Master, who lovingly, vigorously, consistently, tirelessly, and with great commitment spreads Lord Nityananda's mercy - to the suffering humanity all over the world, thus giving it the elixir of the eternal happiness. Now the book is being layouted and then it will be printed. It is in Russian language and hopefully will be published in English, Bengali and Hindi too. Our Russian sannyasis, gurus and senior devotees highly evaluated it and gave wonderful feedbacks. This is all your mercy, dear Guru Maharaja.
Inspired with your consistent, wise loving following Srila Prabhupada’s instruction to develop Mayapur, the spiritual world now we are about to start compiling another book - on the history of ISKCON Mayapur, the history of Srila Prabhupada and yours early Mayapur years, first Festivals, first buildings and different milestones under your guidelines, history of appearance of our Deities, post Prabhupada years: history of the Samadhi Mandir, TOVP, vision for Mayapur development, etc. This is an outline of the content of the book. If in your opinion it is alright to compile such a book and we can do it then kindly give your blessings to us or chastise us for being too bold despite the absence of necessary qualification for such service : )
So it is important for us to get your blessings before we begin compiling the book. Please pour your mercy upon this your insignificant servant.
Inspired by your understanding of the importance of parikrama, great taste for it, and instructions on it, we do Panca-krosa-Parikrama, circumambulating our wonderful Mayapur following the footsteps of Lord Gauranga weekly once and on ekadasis.
Inspired by your annual Navadvipa-mandala-parikrama we organized 3 Parikramas for our Mayapur Russian Community members – one in Puri with HG Madhavananda Prabhu and another two - in Ekacakra Dham. 60 devotees participated.
Then by your mercy and under your guidance we celebrated wonderful Gaura Purnima Festival with ecstatic Navadvipa-Mandala Parikrama, Shantipur Festival, wonderful devotee association, ecstatic Gaura-katha and chanting of the Holy Name, etc. It was amazing devotional experience and it boosted our spiritual and material immunity right before the second wave of corona virus began.
For all the phases of creation a glance of the Lord is needed filled with all His divine qualities. In the same way your mercy and through it connection to your brilliant devotional qualities is needed for all what we do and achieve in our life.
Thank you dear Guru Maharaja for all the wonderful inspiration, guidance, example, mercy and love, which enable us with each step to traverse our path towards our beloved Gaura-Nitai and Radha-Krisna.
Your unworthy disciple,
Vackresvari dd (diksa),
Sri Mayapur Dhama, India
