Dear Guru Mahārāja, please accept my humble obeisances.
Your Holiness has shown us the strength and determination of a mahā-bhāgavata devotee of the supreme personality of Godhead.
Your Holiness has shown us how the compassion of a pure devotee allows him to accept all risks and tolerate all difficulties in order to share Nitāi Gaura’s mercy with more and more people!
I could read that Your Holiness was in a lot of pain during physical therapy, but that you was laughing and laughing as you remembered how the Pañca-tattva took pleasure in spreading the holy names! that I may remember Your Holiness in this jubilant and tolerant mood at my moment of leaving the body!
Your Holiness has emphasized the importance of studying Prabhupāda’s books and taking the courses offered by ISKCON in order to qualify us to become ācāryas, and thus help people to come closer to Kṛṣṇa... I am very grateful for this inspiring “charge “!
I have managed to go out to distribute books only occasionally, because I am working and helping my wife and dear spiritual sister, Tejasvinī Visnupryiā to take care of our daughter, Līlānanda, but the books I distribute I send the result for your score. Here in Florianopolis, Śānta Catarina, Brasil, my dear spiritual brother, his former disciple Daveśvara das co-leads a congregational mantra yoga program, I have collaborated with some prasāda for events and books for him to sell in his store and collect for the program.
Guru Mahārāja, I still need to improve a lot and a lot even to at least reciprocate with all the mercy that your holiness and Śrīla Prabhupāda has bestowed on me, please give me the strength to sincerely make my life an offering to your lotus feet. In fact, I live absorbed in a quagmire of selfishness, always thinking of gratification of the senses, the maintenance of the family and money... kindly devotees tell us about your transcendental pastimes, and we have access to your classes and Q-and-A sections, and this association of you is a true window to the transcendental world.
By his grace and mindfulness I am reading the Bhāgavata book and by his grace and presence we can see the līlā of the bhāgavata person! Thank you very much for everything. Thank you for putting up with so much trouble just to be among us and help us.
Your insignificant servant,
Phālguna Nimāi dāsa (dīkṣa)
