Hare Kṛṣṇa, Mahārāja.
Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda. All glories to Your Divine Self on this most glorious occasion of your Śrī Vyāsa-pūjā Celebrations.
It is my great privilege to be connected to you...
I'm connected to you through my wife, Sumālinī Lalitā Devī Dāsī, who is your initiated disciple. She is highly-qualified and represents you very well by being dutiful, chaste and very devoted to Kṛṣṇa.
Secondly, I am fortunate to be connected to you through my seva in Māyāpur with the Jayapatākā Swami Publications, where I am the editorial assistant for the Śrī Guru Prasaṅga Magazine. On a daily basis, I am exposed to hours of hearing your lectures and assisting to put the instructions contained within them into a written form. In this way, I draw much strength and inspiration from you.
Thank you very much for setting such an illustrious example of giving this lifetime in service and surrender to Guru and Gaurāṅga. Your "never-give-up" policy to devotional service serves as a beacon in my life, guiding me back to Godhead.
Thank you, and I pray that you are blessed with many more years of devotional service to your beloved Śrīla Prabhupāda.
Your servant,
Caitanya Caraṇa dāsa (JPS Publications, ŚrĪdhāma Māyāpur)
