Dear Beloved Guru Maharaja, Srila Acaryapada! Please accept our most respectful obeisance's unto Your lotus feet today, the most auspicious day for us, the day of Your Vyasa Puja.
This description from Caitanya Charitamrita perfectly fits You and our Founder Acharya Srila Prabhupada.
You are the glorious follower of previous Acharyas. By your mercy only we would be able to continue to expand Gaudiya VaisnavaSampradaya and go back to Goloka Vrindavan.
"Similarly, if one is true to Gaura-Nitāi's service in the disciplic succession, he can even excel Nityānanda Prabhu's service. This is the process of disciplic succession. Nityānanda Prabhu delivered Jagāi and Mādhāi, but a servant of Nityānanda Prabhu, by His grace, can deliver many thousands of Jagāi's and Mādhāi's. That is the special benediction of the disciplic succession. One who is situated in thedisciplic succession can be understood by the result of his activities. This is always true as far as the activities of the Lord and His devotees are concerned. Therefore Lord Śiva says:
ārādhanānāṁ sarveṣāṁ
viṣṇor ārādhanaṁ paraṁ
tasmāt parataraṁ devi
tadīyānāṁ samarcanam
"Of all types of worship, worship of Lord Viṣṇu is best, and better than the worship of Lord Viṣṇu is the worship of His devotee, the Vaiṣṇava." (Padma Purāṇa)
By the grace of Viṣṇu, a Vaiṣṇava can render better service than Viṣṇu; that is the special prerogative of a Vaiṣṇava. The Lord actually wants to see His servants work more gloriously than Himself. For instance, on the Battlefield of Kurukṣetra, Śrī Kṛṣṇa provoked Arjuna to fight because all the warriors on the battlefield were to die by Kṛṣṇa's plan. Kṛṣṇa Himself did not want to take credit; rather, He wanted Arjuna to take credit. Therefore He asked him to fight and win fame.
tasmāt tvam uttiṣṭha yaśo labhasva
jitvā śatrūn bhuṅkṣva rājyaṁ samṛddham
mayaivaite nihatāḥ pūrvam eva
nimitta-mātraṁ bhava savyasācin
"Therefore get up and prepare to fight. After conquering your enemies, you will enjoy a flourishing kingdom. They are already put to death by My arrangement, and you, O Savyasācin, can be but an instrument in the fight." (Bg. 11.33)
This year I was trying to expand and organize congregation preaching together with other devotes. I hope that this is the way have can I please You.
Please bless me so that I can never leave Krishna Consciousness and develop pure love for Krishna.
Happy Vyasa Puja my most beloved Spiritual Father!
Your grateful servants,
