My Dear Guru Mahārāja,
Please accept my respectful obeisances unto your lotus feet. All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda and Your Divine Grace.
I am writing this Vyāsa-pūjā homage at Gaura Pūrṇimā. Just like Lord Gaurāṅga distributing love of Godhead to everyone, while everyone is quarantined at home due to the worldwide pandemic, Your Divine Grace is serving timelessly Śrīla Prabhupāda’s mission to preach Kṛṣṇa Consciousness all over the world, despite your bodily inconvenience.
I was blinded in the darkness of ignorance. You opened my eyes with torchlight of knowledge. You are renunciation personified. You are always merged in a feeling of separation and intense love of Lord Gaurāṅga.
At these difficult times, your China disciples are still planning how to celebrate your Vyāsa-pūjā with full enthusiasm. The real love between guru and disciples never changes. Neither this eternal relationship be affected under any circumstances.
In the meantime, I am delighted that many sincere souls are applying the first and second initiation from Your Divine Grace. Their faith and love in Guru and Kṛṣṇa are not shaken at this critical time.
Dear Guru Mahārāja, thank you for your mercy to deliver us, the conditioned souls, who are suffering tremendously in this mortal world.
I was touched when I heard you prayed for me during your home visit after the evening class. I was in a desperate situation at that time. You seemed to know everything. I am a fallen soul, not able to do any services for you, yet you care for me with so much love and affection. I feel indebted to you, Guru Mahārāja. Please forgive any of my offences to you and allow me to allow me to serve you. continuously. I pray for your good health and long life in the hope that more conditioned souls would get salvation from Your Divine Grace.
Your insignificant servant,
