All Glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda,
All Glories to your auspicious appearance day Guru Mahārāja,
Dear Guru Mahārāja,
What I am seeing at present is, we are living in a world of severe discomfort. The world, just at the verge of coming out from Covid fear, to keep in pace, the next attack affecting the world population is caused by a war on Ukraine. Answers to all our discomfort lies only in your Guru, Śrīla Prabhupāda’s instruction “Chant and be Happy” only mantra to relieve all our day-to-day anxieties.
By your mercy, you embraced me and my family into the Family of ISKCON, during the period I was working in Dubai. During that period the real meaning and it’s benefits of the Mantra has not touched the bottom of my heart. As the time goes, and I grow older, (I am 73 years old now) I understand the benefits of your mercy to accept me as one of your disciples.
When this world is now under fire due to cumulative Karmic reactions, only ‘Hare Kṛṣṇa mahā-mantra’ and the teachings of ISKCON can relieve us to the next stage of our long unending journey. Your mercy assisted me to understand the full meaning of every human birth’s ‘unending journey’ and also learnt the ‘ultimate end of human birth’s unending journey’ and oneself preparation to attain the ultimate end.
During the last December Book Marathon, by your mercy, I managed to donate two Kṛṣṇa Books and two Bhagavad-gītā Books, to four families mainly to keep them in the thought of Kṛṣṇa (without they getting deviated into other religion) and taught them the benefits of following Ekādaśī-vratā - this is in Śrī Laṅka, also getting the update of their progress, to me all this happened by your mercy.
In my last offering, I mentioned writing down ‘Narasiṁha Kavaca’ for śāstric pronunciation and fluent chanting, at present all by your mercy, I could chant fluently now.
This is our humble tribute to remind us of our debt to You, Dear Guru Mahārāja,
May Lord Narasiṁhadeva protect your health to continue Your service,
May Lord Gaurāṅga give You the spiritual strength.
We pray to the Lord on this auspicious occasion of Your Vyāsa-pūjā, all glories, all glories, all glories unto You,
Your eternal servants,
Jagad-guru Kṛṣṇa Dāsa (dīkṣā)
Dhanya Rādhikā Devī Dāsī (dīkṣā)
