Hare Kṛṣṇa most respected Guru Mahārāja,
Please accept my most respectful obeisances unto your lotus feet. All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda! All glories to you on your auspicious Vyāsa Pūjā!
I want to express my profound thanks again and again to Your Holiness and all the other disciples of Śrīla Prabhupāda for bringing the message of Kṛṣṇa consciousness to the world.You have sung “ Yadi Prabhupāda na hoito” but we, your disciples really should sing Yadi Guru Mahārāja na hoito- we would none of us have heard this message of God if you had not taken the trouble to propagate it. I am really greatly inspired by how you lead by example,Guru Mahārāja!
I am part of the Tamil translation team of the Jayapatākā Swami App, and hence am aware of your activities on a daily basis. You never let up your efforts to spread and improve the services of ISKCON in various parts of the world. You continuously attend meetings day in and day out in this connection. Whatever be your service, you never fail to give your valuable association in the form of the daily Caitanya Līlā class, where we get to relish the pastimes of Caitanya Mahāprabhu,seen through your eyes and the way you relish them by exclaiming Haribol! Haribol!
You also set an example to all of us in the way you religiously undergo all the therapies in order to serve the mission of Śrīla Prabhupāda - physiotherapy, pool therapy, stretching exercises etc.
By your mercy, we get the Darśana of the deities of Māyāpur everyday when you attend the maṅgala ārati early in the morning. Through your messages to us every month, and through the Ekādaśī newsletters, you give us so many instructions and update us on your activities in such a touching manner.
You have undertaken the arduous task of preparing for Bhakti-vaibhava and Bhakti Vedānta examinations just to inspire us, your disciples to study Śrīla Prabhupāda’s books, although you really have no need for such exertions.
By your mercy, Guru Mahārāja, I am continuing the service of editing and posting the messages for the Tamil translation of Jayapatākā Swami App. The program of school preaching is also going on...I hope to contact two more schools in the coming academic year. I am trying to connect with a few contacts to start a Bhagavadgītā class for ladies at my residence... please, please bless me Guru Mahārāja to be successful in this endeavour. I also wish to complete Bhakti Shastri course in the near future- please bless me to continue all these services in spite of the demands of our dependent aged mothers and children and grandchildren.
I humbly beseech Lord Kṛṣṇa to keep you in good health to continue your valuable guidance to us,your disciples and to complete your vow to fulfil the commitments given to Śrīla Prabhupāda.
Your humble servant and spiritual daughter,
Uttama Damayanti Devī Dāsī
