Dear Gurudeva,
All glories to your auspicious appearance day. Please accept our respectful humble obeisances.
We are deeply Indebted to you and feeling grateful from the core of our heart to you for accepting these orphans under your shelter. We are trying our best to serve you by following at least our initiation vows regularly.
We begin our dawn by paying our obeisances unto you for the entire day’s devotional service efficiency. You are all merciful to enable us to learn our mistakes and correct us to perform spiritual activities in proper consciousness.
You telegram app is really very useful to me (though I not much of a gadget person). Hearing your Caitanya-caritāmṛta, classes and taking the quiz is very helpful and encouraging. Now a days, I am making notes too, Guru Mahārāja. I am relishing your classes every day. Even when your tongue or lips don’t move according to your convenience, you are accepting the situation still convenient to Serve Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu and Caitanya-caritāmṛta. So no one can say that one cannot render devotional service in any situation.
Your letter for us for every month is very appealing and appeasing which exhibits the love you have for us. It’s written with such simplicity, humility, care, love, seriousness, expressing the importance for these insignificant souls with all your activities done for the month is really inspiring to the core that we conclude n understand that we are hopeless and useless but gives us the enthusiastic obligation to serve you.
Your heart and soul to fulfill your Gurudeva, His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda, in any condition is shaking us out of our lethargy. We are enlivened by your unparalleled services to him. That gives us the intelligence of how one should take the instructions of one’s Gurudeva seriously. Surely, we will follow throughout our lives all your instructions, dear Guru Mahārāja.
Though your health condition is pathetic, you attend so many meetings, so many greetings in a day, Preparing for classes, Hearing and reading your Gurudeva ‘s classes, chanting your prescribed rounds n more, Deity darśana, Bhakti shastri and Bhakti-vaibhava courses, online home visits etc., I am unable to breathe to even mention your schedule. But how much are you doing for us, Guru Mahārāj? Were there an end to your endeavor to take us back home, back to Godhead. Do we deserve to even serve you, Gurudeva? But since our services gives pleasure to you, we want to render though unqualified.
How many different ways you are trying to reach your disciples through emails, apps, groups, websites, YouTube channels, live sessions, recordings of all old and new classes How much are you enabling us to get access to you? What kind of energy and perseverance you have? We wonder if we will ever imbibe these amazing qualities and extreme compassion for all the fallen conditioned souls that you have. We at least want to be compassionate on our superiors for all your anxiety over us by prioritizing your instructions.
Our idea of having JSSS meeting of all your disciples of a particular center at least once a month is an amazing inspiration to remind ourselves of our duties towards Guru and Gaurāṅga.
Though you have crossed the number of disciples to be initiated by you by Śrīla Prabhupāda, you are continuing this service being very very merciful and compassionate over us. That also enables us to understand that a first-class disciple is one who understands the mind of his Guru with just a gesture or a word. We too wish to be that kind of first class disciple to you, dear Gurudeva. Kindly shower your blessings.
In spite of your ill health which is because of your disobedient disciples, you never give up on us, you are still waiting as a loving father to help and serve us
