My Dear Guru Mahārāja,
Please accept my respectful obeisances on to your lotus feet.
Wishing you a happy Kṛṣṇa consciousness birthday.
I sincerely pray to Gaurāṅga and our Lordships Śrī Śrī Rādhā Gopīnātha to bestow good health and energy to you to fulfill the mission of Śrīla Prabhupāda.
Whenever I take darśana of yourself either in photo, video or in person, the first thing that crosses my mind is to offer my respectful obeisances and take blessings. My mind is so selfish, fallen and miser, that it does not dare to pose a question as:
“How are you dear Guru Mahārāja today?”,
“How is your health condition now?”,
“Are you feeling any intense pain?”,
“Can I do some massage that it makes you feel good?”, etc.
In spite of this very inferior behavior and quality of mine, you still gave me initiation in 2021 with abundance of spiritual blessings and love.
One of the beautiful moments this year is the time I met you in Māyāpur in January 2023. This is the first time I am seeing my Guru Mahārāja that closely. It was so overwhelming and the tears of joy were longing to shed when I heard your words for us as “Thank you”. Also received your personal blessings on me and my family (wife: Jiveśvari Haripriya Devī dāsī and daughter: Kṛṣṇa Bhargavi).
We are indebtedly thankful to our mentors Saṅkīrtana Narottama Dāsa prabhu family and Anandamaya Gopīnātha Dāsa prabhu family for taking all of us to Māyāpur and making the arrangements to meet with you personally, Guru Mahārāja.
Finally, we Sydney devotees would like to welcome you to Sydney this year so that we have your close association and drink the divine nectar.
Your humble servant and a fallen soul,
Rādhā Gopīnāthaa Sevaka Dāsa (along with wife and daughter).
Sydney, Australia
