Worshipable Gurudeva,
Please accept our respectful obeisances. On this auspicious day of your appearance, we offer our homages at your lotus feet.
I, with my wife, preach in some of the areas of Bangalore and my son Kṛṣṇarūpa Gaura Dāsa is helping in preaching to the youths. My wife is looking after Mātājīs and I am looking after Prabhus. Myself and my son are preaching on a weekly basis, while my wife is practicing on a daily basis. We request for your special blessings, so that we become more serious in the process and help bring more and more souls to take shelter of your lotus feet.
Though, online preaching has increased many-fold in Covid period yet we feel that we are losing practical/physical devotional services. Now, to some extent it is gearing up. For the last couple of months, my wife has been facing some health challenges but by the mercy of Kṛṣṇa, we are trying to be steady in our services. Myself and my son are a little slow and not that serious, due to some mundane work/job. We are purchasing a new house, 2 kms away from ISKCON Magadi Road, New Rājāpur Jagannātha temple, Bangalore, under the guidance of His Grace Caitanya Avatārī Prabhu. This will help us be in the association of devotees, we can do more devotional services and responsibilities. With your blessings, I am hopeful that we will do it.
Yours spiritual sons/daughter,
Madan Mohan Mādhava Dāsa, (dīkṣa)
