nama oṁ viṣṇu-pādāya kṛṣṇa-preṣṭhāya bhū-tale

Hare Kṛṣṇa koṭi koṭi Daṇḍavat Praṇāms Guru Mahārāja.
I have come to know that you have a great inclination to follow Thakur Bhaktivinoda’s preaching instructions and have also experienced your strong commitment towards Śrīla Prabhupāda’s desire for worldwide congregational preaching. Guru Mahārāja your perseverance has been instrumental in the Bhakti-vṛkṣa model of preaching to cause an exponential growth of devotees coming under shelter of ISKCON.
Although, there are countless sevas that you are engaged in, you are still taking out some time from your busy schedule for the translation of the valuable books about Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu’s pastimes and teachings. Your commitment for guiding your expanding number of disciples on a regular basis, be it morning Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam classes or other classes like on Caitanya-caritāmṛta is simply amazing and nourishes our spiritual lives so much. On your most auspicious 74th Vyāsa-pūjā I sincerely pray that Śrī Gaurāṅga and Śrīla Prabhupāda bestow upon you all good health and spirits, so that countless souls like me are benefited by receiving your causeless mercy and purifying association.
Your servant
