Hare Kṛṣṇa beloved Guru Mahārāja. All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda! All glories to your most auspicious divine appearance day!
Your fame is spread all over the three worlds and this joyous day is a special one to broadcast your glories far and wide.
It is so amazing that you are invested in understanding the large to small intricacies of this world so far as they concern the propagation of Śrīla Prabhupāda’s mission like so many languages, cultures, current affairs; and yet remain aloof from them, like a lotus leaf in water. And not just that, it does not affect your continual transcendental absorbption – prati-kṣaṇāsvādana-lolupasya. While remembering mādhurya-līlā guṇa-rūpa-nāmnām, you extend the most excellent personal care, as in taking every individual very seriously and caring for them as their eternal well-wisher, while being laden with the sweet fruits of love, sensitivity, humility, tolerance, forgiveness, forbearance, sacrifice and austerity.
In your classes as in your life and personal example, all of the Caitanya Caritāmṛta comes to life. Most of us may have theoretically read of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu but your association infects one with realized Gaurāṅga fever. With the milieu that we find ourselves in today, it is so scarce to come out of a merely historical understanding of the propagator of the Saṅkīrtana movement and accept Him as the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Your personality makes that very feat attainable and sustainable by incessant nourishment. By your glorious Caitanya Līlā classes, one feels so much connected with Lord Caitanya and His associates and gradually They come to occupy more and more of one’s consciousness until one eventually starts living with Them. The distinctive phala-śruti of those pastimes is sure to reserve one’s ticket in Gaura-līlā, and certainly one gets the unlimitedly merciful opportunities of becoming a singer in the Lord’s saṅkīrtana like Mukunda Datta, dancing in the footsteps of Vakreśvara Paṇḍita, honoring prasad with The Lords, hoping to participate in the most confidential Śrivasa Aṅgan kīrtanas, and the list is endless. It gets to the point where the Gaura Bhakta Vṛnda of the Pañca-tattva, mahā-mantra immediately invokes the innumerable devotees that you talk about in your classes – Ramānanda Rāya, Puṇḍarīka Premanidhi, Acyutānanda, Balabhadra Bhaṭṭācārya, Kolaveca Śrīdhar, Devānanda Paṇḍit and the list will never end, so one can only roar and invoke all of the Gaura Bhakta Vṛnda. You make it so natural and easy, and increasingly so.

Dear respected Guru Mahārāja, your flabbergasting preaching imprint unstopped by equatorial heat, South American altitudes (where you would walk with oxygen cylinders on), Bangladeshi austerities and so on while maintaining your principles to the highest of standards highlights evermore Lord Kṛṣṇa’s special empowerment of you and your exceptionally intense surrender to and love of the Lord.

As the very lovable representative of Lord Nityānanda, you intoxicatedly distribute the mercy to the very fallen and the really weak, not to forget, with a great amount of personal inconvenience. It requires a very tall personality to take on the sins of so many souls and take charge of their deliverance from the material world. You are Selflessness and Magnanimity personified. I am personally testimony to your great potency to pick one out of the dustbin and then hone one meticulously and holistically. Your blessings and prayers are the elixir of life.
Meditating on your countless glories is an everlasting exercise in purification. Dhyāyan stuvaḿs tasya yaśas tri-sandhyaḿ… Thank you a thousand times over, and more, Guru Mahārāja. Please make me an instrument of your mercy in this lifetime, more and more, dear Gurudeva.
Your ever-indebted loving daughter,
