Dear Guru Mahārāja,
Please accept our respectful obeisances in the dust of your lotus feet. All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda! We are commemorating the day of Your Divine Grace’s 75th appearance on this planet this year. Not just for your disciples, but for all living things on this planet, today is extremely auspicious. Your perseverance in preaching is admirable, and despite your physical challenges, you have not let that stop you. This proves that your preaching is unconditional, independent of material circumstances, and therefore pure and acceptable to Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa and Śrīla Prabhupāda!
Therefore, we would want to thank you for your unwavering dedication and hard work in spreading the message of Śrīla Prabhupāda’s mission.
You’re in a loving and compassionate mood. You sincerely wish for Lord Caitanya’s kindness to seep into every corner, into every town and village. It seems like engaging and provocative sermons.
We are grateful that you genuinely care about the devotees, prioritizing their needs above everything else, and diligently assisting each of us in all facets of our lives, both mentally and physically.
We appreciate your constant emphasis on the importance of studying Śrīla Prabhupāda’s books with fervor and great faith, as well as on the importance of chanting Hare Kṛṣṇa tastefully and carefully.
We respectfully express that we have been truly blessed to have such an exalted and pure Vaiṣṇava as our Guru Mahārāja. We hope that soon, through your boundless mercy, our ignorance will be removed, and we will possess the traits necessary to honor and serve you with the utmost respect. Until then, we feel unqualified to explain your exquisite, unparalleled, and limitless qualities. Please Guru Mahārāja keeps us always engaged in your divine service. May we always have the shelter of your lotus feet.
May Lord Kṛṣṇa grant that we all have you physically with us for as long as possible to guard ISKCON and to personally lead and safeguard us in our life of devotion. We sincerely appreciate everything you do for our family.
Yours Servant,
