Koṭi Koṭi daṇḍavat Praṇāms Śrīla Gurudeva.

śrīmate jayapatāka svāmin iti nāmine

nama oṁ viṣṇu-pādāya kṛṣṇa-preṣṭhāya bhū-tale
śrīmate bhaktivedānta-svāminn iti nāmine
namas te sārasvate deve gaura-vāṇī-pracāriṇe

Hare Kṛṣṇa! All glories to Śrīla Gurudeva. All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda.
We wish you a a very blissful appearance day on Kāmadā Ekādaśī. We sincerely pray to Lord Narasiṁhadeva for your good health so that you continue to show mercy upon the fallen souls by giving them shelter and engaging them in Kṛṣṇa’s service. Gurudeva! You have been so merciful on to us by giving us Harināma Dīkṣā in Mumbai in November-22. You have always been source of inspiration for thousands of souls. Showing Enthusiasm and assertiveness in all challenging material conditions and to develop mood to serve Śrīla Prabhupāda’s mission are some of your qualities which motivates and inspires us to remain in Kṛṣṇa consciousness. We could see how eager you are to render devotional services with love and how deeply you are engaged in extensive preaching activities. You have given your life and soul in fulfilling the instructions of Śrīla Prabhupāda. You have set an example by completing Bhakti-vaibhava course and further pledged to complete Bhakti-vedānta in spite of doing so many services and performing managerial tasks to accomplish various spiritual initiatives.
All auspiciousness started happening in our lives after you picked us from the pool of material existence. Our Śīkṣā-guru His Grace Mantreśa Gaurāṅga Dāsa and His Grace Rāmakṛṣṇa Dāsa facilitated and prepared us for taking 1st Initiation. We are able to perform our daily sādhana nicely by your mercy. Was able to start attending Purva svādhyāya sessions for Bhakti-vaibhava module-1 under the able guidance and support of Śīkṣā-guru His Grace RāmaKṛṣṇa Dāsa. Currently engaged in proof reading activity of Gujarati translation of your work ‘Vaishnave Bhajan’. By inspiration and full support of our Śīkṣā-guru His Grace Sankarshan Caitanya Dāsa, Bhakti-vṛkṣa programs started at our house in Mathurādeśa. Very soon Gaur Nitāi and Jagannātha Baldeva Subhadrā deities will be installed in our Altar on Gaur Pūrṇimā day by support of Yātrā leader and Mathurādeśa devotees. Our Son Rudra by your mercy is now associated with ISKCON devotees in Russia where he is pursuing medical studies.
Kindly bless our daughter Para who is going to appear for 10th board exams next year and she also become a good devotee.
We sincerely beg at your lotus feet to bless us so that we are least affected by material tribulations and we try to serve your instructions without any deviations. Bless us so that we always try to serve the devotees and refrain from any offences. We want to assist you in book distribution, preaching, and other spiritual programs.
Your insignificant servants,
Manorama Rāmachandra Dāsa
