Dearest Spiritual Master,
Please accept my respectful obeisances
All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda, the Senāpati inaugurated Lord Caitanya saṅkīrtana mission in western countries and picked up the beautiful white elephants from West to further spread the Kṛṣṇa consciousness in Bharatavarsa, where people forgot about their sanatana-dharma
All glories to You Gurudeva, being one of the Chief, under the commandment of Śrīla Prabhupāda carried out His Divine Grace Legacy all over the land of Bharatavarsa and many more provinces of the world.
On this auspicious occasion of Your 72nd Vyāsa-pūjā I would like to offer my sincerest gratitude for keeping connected through the parampara to Śrī Kṛṣṇa Caitanya. My special prayers to their Lordships Śrī Śrī Rādhā Mādhava, Pancha tattva and Prahlāda Narasimhadeva to restore your health for coming years and bestow upon you many more healthy years of service for the mission of Lord Caitanya.
I being fallen would beg forgiveness for my inability to glorify you, so would only dare to highlight some of your glories taking your blessings.
From the recent Caitanya Līlā classes which are so enlivening and enlightening, we understand many intricacies of Lord Caianya lila. One particular aspect is that is very much hope giving for me, is how Lord Caitanya was very particular with His reciprocation with each of his devotees. Every devotee had a very special reciprocation from the Lord and they treasure that as their life and soul. Though Krsna indicated this particular quality, that as one surrenders He reciprocrates accordingly butLord Caitanya being in the audarya mood, exhibits this quality in a different level. He reciprocates much beyond ones level of surrender. This is very much applicable to His devotees too.. how we are able to converse with devotees and understand that each and every one of who is connected with you either as dīkṣā, or sīkṣā or aspirant or as well-wisher or a god brother, you reciprocation is very specific and special and in unlimited ways.
Now you are doing that with every single person via zoom visits who want to take advantage of this special offer of mercy… that is very special .. every person is feeling so blissful to have celebrate his birthday, wedding anniversary, new year with you … it's vwry special.. now You are there with is in every situation of our life, whether one is suffering or celeberating, You have given us the chance to share with you everything.
When we got covid, I felt we got cured from that just by taking blessings from you everyday. Not only me, I heard this from many of the devotees.
We thank Lord Caitanya to sending You to us, otherwise while hearing Caitanya Līlā, it is just another story but seeing you and your activities we can get a glimpse of Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu’s activities.
I seek blessings from you that never ever in any of lives let me be away from Guru and Gauranga. Let all my activities be dedicated to serve your mission gurudeva. Let our every step take us closer and closer to serving your lotus feet. Let me never ever lose faith in this movement, in you not in this movement. Let me dedicate all my coming lives in your service.
Thanking you,
Yours insignificant servant
