Respected Guru Maharaj
Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda. All glories to your 74th Vyāsa-pūjā celebrations.
Guru Maharaj, I was a fallen conditioned soul, suffering and rotting among eight million four hundred thousand species of lives but due to some ajñāta sukriti you have shown causeless mercy upon me by giving harinam diksha in July 1980 on the auspicious ocassion of Ratha yātrā in Calcutta. I still remember your instructions on that day “preach Kṛṣṇa consciousness to all and sundry”
I am sincerely following your instructions until this day and with your blessings I will continue preaching in future also. Further, in your Zoom meeting in December 2020, your Holiness instructed me to take Bhagvad Gītā and Bhāgavatam classes via U tube so that many people may take advantage. I have been trying to take Gītā and Bhāgavatam classes via U tube in Iskcon Pune temples as well as in house preaching programs. With your blessings I may be able to start Bhagvad Gītā study circle course by way of U tube lecture series very soon.
Guru Maharaj, you are an ideal example of being an ambassador for spreading Lord Kṛṣṇa’s and Lord Chaitanya’s messages and instructions to people at large. Your Holiness, whoever approaches you, you spontaneously make him interested in Kṛṣṇa consciousness. This shows that you are spreading Lord Chaitanya’s mercy to people in general irrespective of caste, nationality, colour or creed.
The following Bhāgavatam śloka spoken by Lord Kapila about the qualities of Sadhu completely matches with you, Guru Maharaj
Titiksavah karunikah
Suhrdah sarva-dehinam
Ajata satravah santah
Sadhavah sādhu-bhūṣaṇah
Guru Maharaj, you are very tolerant - titiksavah as in spite of having liver and kidney transplant and other health issues, you are continuing nama -hatta and other preaching programs throughout India and abroad.
You are also karunikah as you are an ocean of mercy to not only your diksha, siksha disciples and aspiring and sheltered devotees but also disciples of other spiritual masters.
You are always remaining in contact with your disciples via fortnightly newsletters, replies to their correspondence
In spite of your age and health issues you keep on travelling to various parts of the world, initiating devotees and inspiring them by regularly daily classes on Lord Chaitanya’s pastimes
We disciples are really inspired by your recent completion of Bhakti Vaibhav course and award of degree by Māyāpur Institute
I always keep on praying to Lord Nrsimha and Lord Kṛṣṇa for your good health and long life so that we may continue to get your guidance and mercy on the path of spiritual advancement
Please accept this fallen soul under the shelter of your lotus feet and bestow your blessings
Your eternal servant,
Dīnadayāla Dāsa
Pune, India
