Dear Guru Maharaja,
Hare Krishna. Please accept my respectful obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada and his followers. All glories to Your Divine Grace.
I would like to first of all express my gratitude for engaging me in the service of Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu, the parampara acaryas and Srila Prabhupada in the association of their followers. I am not very qualified to please Your Divine Grace and Srila Prabhupada. But out of your kind mercy, you have given me a busy schedule of services in Srila Prabhupada's movement. I am convinced that without rendering services to Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu through the parampara acaryas in the association of their followers, it is impossible to develop factual renunciation from matter, spiritual realization and a taste for chanting and hearing the holy names of Lord Krsna.
Your Divine Grace's dedication to Srila Prabhupada's movement is more than exemplary. Normally, those (even those carrying out their daily duties in Krishna consciousness) in a health crisis like that of yours would become negatively affected to such an extent that there would hardly be a question of his being enthusiastic to preserve and increase Srila Prabhupada's movement. We at ISKCON can learn from these significant lessons taught by Your Divine Grace, in order to deal with the inevitable miseries of material existence -- disease, old age and death -- without being affected in the least by them while being absorbed in Krsna-bhakti-vicara, Krsna-bhakti-acara and Krsna-bhakti-pracara.
Jaya Guru Maharaja!
Yours in the service of Srila Prabhupada and his followers,
Vidvan Gauranga Dasa
