Dear Guru Maharaj,
Please accept our Humble obeisances at your lotus feet on the most auspicious day Sri VyasaPuja .
All glories to Your Divine Grace .
All Glories to Srila Prabhupada.
Srila Devaki Nandan das Thakur a great Devotee of Lord Caitanya mahaprabhu , said “ Each devotee of lord Caitanya has a great potency with which they can liberate a universe ”, you are of that kind of a spiritual master.
Guru Maharaj, just by your presence you influence thousands of people in positive Krishna conscioius ways . Your are an individual who has depth in Krishna conscious, full of inner character, you don’t attempt to be something which you are not. You respect every person on planet earth as valuable and worthy because you see them as part and parcel of Krishna. I have never seen you focus on trivial things, always meditating on how to glorify Caitanya Mahaprabhu , Srila Prabhupada’s movement.
Guru Maharaj, I am amazed to see the amount of patience you have, your life lived speak for itself. There’s not a time nor place where I have seen you speaking about yourself, it is always KC subject matter or devotee care.
Guru Maharaj, from past thrity years I have been observing your wonderful qualities. You always pray fervently to Mahaprabhu for others spiritual welfare as you strongly believe that He will really does answer prayers; you step out of your comfort zone and trust Krishna to equip you for the task of preaching; you influence people in positive Krishna conscious ways; and you always support devotees in their adverse circumstances.
Guru Maharaj , you have the special blessings of Srila Prabhupada and Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, it is very difficult to preach for one who has serious health problems, but you are setting an example and teaching to all of us that one can preach in any situation, whether one has good health or no health .
It is said that Lord Nityananda is so intoxicated with love of Krishna that He doesn’t care to make distinctions between who is qualified and who is not , and distributing Krishna prema to everyone . Similarly you are showing unlimited mercy on conditioned souls by engaging them in Krishna’s service.
In establishing the congregational preaching firmly, you have devised wonderful programs like "BHAKTI VRIKSAS", Shraddha kutir and Damodar festival for public in an organized manner. Today we see the results around the the world, congregation is growing like wild fire, all credit goes to you.
By your exemplary behavior and gentle encouragement , all of us are engaged in Krishna’s service . We beg at your Lotus feet on this most auspicious occasion to shower your mercy on all of us to continue our preaching activities in Tirupati and Andhra Pradesh through Book Distribution, congregational and other preaching programs.
Patita Pavana Gurumaharaj ki Jai .
Thank you so much,
Your eternal servants,
Revati Raman Dasa & devotees of
