My dear spiritual father,
Hare Kṛṣṇa. Please accept my humble obeisances unto your lotus feet.
All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda!
All glories to your holiness!
mūkaṁ karoti vācālaṁ paṅguṁ laṅghayate girim
yat-kṛpā tam ahaṁ vande śrī-guruṁ dīna-tāraṇam
paramānandaṁ mādhavaṁ śrī caitanya iśvaram
hariḥ oṁ tat sat
May "the victory flag of Kṛṣṇa" always flow high and mighty for eternity. I beg and pray unto the lotus feet of śrī Nityānandāsaprabhu for your health so that you fulfill Śrīla Prabhupāda's instructions and also put us back in his service.
Gurumaharaji, you are a very true representative of our lion guruparampara, an embodiment of Lord nityānanda's kripa & humbleness in your ways of open heartedly accepting even those people who were rejected by their own society. You treated more than those doctors who think they are treating you. You are just like your father Śrīla Prabhupāda in every way - always ready to sacrifice, tolerate with patience for the pleasure of Lordships nitāi -Gaurāṅga, teaching us how one should be Guru consciousness/ Guru bhakta so that Guru can take us to the supreme yugal jodi! (I.e. Kṛṣṇa consciousness) just like Śrīla Prabhupāda had for his Guru Mahārāja. Earlier I used to think how your health must be hurting you but then as I gradually heard your pastimes, I realized that it's all just another līlā in śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu līlā to spread his glories in the most miraculous - mysterious ways. I was drenched with love at the moment when I saw how Jagannātha ji used saptaparna mātājī to send the transcendental flag to his victory flag. Guru Maharaji I want what you have in your heart, I also want to always be filled in love while serving like you are, I don't know how and when will that happen but I know for sure I have no one other than you who would accept someone in most fallen state, you guided me, blessed me when I started to lose hope. Who, if not you, will pick up this nobody and place us in the lotus feet of Śrīla Prabhupāda? Who is more merciful, in spite of so many capable disciples, so many engagements, you still choose to pay attention to fallen souls personally? I wouldn't have this little strength to work (spiritual and material duties)if tulsi maharani hadn't given your shelter to me.
You never fail to update about giving your sādhana, your degrees, your lectures no matter how physically tired you are or health condition. When I hear about you or from you - I realize that we are souls different from this body- servants of supreme Lordships.
Just like Lord Nityānanda was determined to give prema bhakti to Jagāi-Madhāi, you are determined to take everyone (disciple or no disciple, sādhak or atheist) back home -back to Godhead through your prasāda distribution, merciful glances, blessings from Jagannātha ji's toothbrush and nectarine kirtans & transcendental humour filled lectures. Your Roaring chants of Śrī Gaura Hari Names are heart cleansing.
Me & my mother, your spiritual daughters are extremely waiting to meet you physically one day and thereafter always, I pray that time comes soon when we receive bhakti Lata beej from the great warrior of śrī Māyāpur Chandra.
Give our lives in the service unto the lotus feet of King of Lord Nityānanda’s heart, dripping in the nectar of Gaura prema, submerged in the ocean of nectarine Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam! We Nityānanda you!
Your spiritual daughter/ insignificant servant,
