Dear Guru Mahārāja,
Please accept our respectful obeisances unto Your lotus feet! All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda!
My husband (Aman) and I would like to wish you a joyous 75th Vyāsa-pūjācelebration! Although we cannot be there in person, we are excited to watch the festivities of this momentous occasion online and we sincerely hope to see you in person when Kṛṣṇa desires. We sincerely pray to Kṛṣṇa to continue to shower His mercy on and empower you to preach Śrīla Prabhupāda’s mission with such amazing enthusiasm and vigor! You are a shining example of dedication and commitment to devotional service and unwavering Guru bhakti. You are a foundational pillar of the ISKCON movement which wouldn't be where it is without your efforts, instructions and causeless mercy on everyone who comes in contact with you! We are all truly blessed to have your association and are ever grateful to Kṛṣṇa for it.
I am in awe of your steadfastness in devotional service and am constantly amazed by your ability to see Kṛṣṇa's will and mercy in everything and everywhere! Your dedication to giving classes on Caitanya Mahāprabhu's pastimes and teachings every day is so inspiring - despite any health challenges you may face, you make every effort to give those classes and never miss an opportunity to share Kṛṣṇa-kathā with us. Seeing your enthusiasm and commitment to Guru and Kṛṣṇa under all circumstances encourages me to stay strong on the path of devotional service and reminds me that whatever happens in life is Kṛṣṇa's mercy and that He will never let his devotees perish. I feel so fortunate to have had your association as child in Kṛṣṇa Consciousness and am grateful to be under your shelter even though I know I am not nearly qualified for it - I am indebted to you in more ways than I can express. We humbly pray that you continue to bless us to improve in our devotional service, strengthen our sādhana, and request your blessings to be able to have a happy, healthy and Kṛṣṇa Conscious family and sincerely hope that we can help serve the movement in any way possible.
Thank you for continuing to bless us and we hope you have a wonderful Vyāsa-pūjā celebration!
Your humble servants,
Madhavi Gopī (Nikita Rao) and Aman Gogna.
P.S. Aman and I are standing to Your right in the attached picture.
