To my dear spiritual father... Please accept my most respectful humble obeisances unto your lotus feet... All glories to you!! All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda!!!
On this most auspicious day of your Vyāsa-pūjā, I pray to their Lordships Śrī Śrī Rādhā Mādhava Aṣṭa-sakhis, Śrī Narasiṁhadeva, Śrī Pañca-tattva if they so desire to kindly protect you and give you great health!! Gurudeva, you are an ocean of mercy. In spite of such difficult health situation you so affectionately keep spreading the mercy of Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu, Lord Nitāi everywhere!!! Not a second goes by without your grace’s loving magical touch on fallen souls!!! You are like touchstone, anyone in contact with you gets electrified with Kṛṣṇa consciousness!!!! Your evening lectures are like oasis in a desert!! Nectar just keeps overflowing from your divine self!! How much dedication, devotion, love, you possess for pleasing Śrīla Prabhupāda and the previous ācāryas is seen from your charismatic personality, always ever increasingly expanding, propagating ISKCON!! Your personal servants are so tirelessly serving you Gurudeva, but even they have to say on screen ‘‘It’s time for Your dinner” and still you don’t want to leave devotees, that’s so sweet and touching!!! By such gestures and many, many more you keep us bonded to you!! So magnetic!! Guru Mahārāja, you keep traveling, attending hundreds of meetings, arranging for TOVP Developments, Nāmahaṭṭas, book distribution, preaching programs, initiating disciples and being in touch with them, giving different exams simply to inspire us to read and follow Śrīla Prabhupāda’s teachings!! And all of this while your visiting hospitals in and out with your precarious health condition. Oh Gurudeva!! Thank you for always showering your mercy upon us, taking all this pain to make us Kṛṣṇa conscious, showing us how to preach in each and every condition of life and to never ever give up!!! All glories to our divine beloved Śrīla Prabhupāda, who gave us you!! How fortunate are we!!! Gurudeva, presently I am conducting one Bhakti-vṛkṣa online around 15 members attend it. Guru Mahārāja, please bless them to become your disciples soon. I beg you to please engage me to conduct many such programs in future too! Please bless me to use my words thoughts and actions in such a way favorable for Kṛṣṇa consciousness and pleasing to Śrī Guru, Śrī Gaurāṅga and Vaiṣṇavas. Never ever deviate or fall-down from this pure Kṛṣṇa consciousness. Chant holy name offenselessly! I pray for all Vaiṣṇavas, all our śikṣā-gurus, cell members, family members. I also pray to kindly bless us spread Kṛṣṇa consciousness far and wide. I pray for my Prabhu Mahānanda Caitanya dāsa, daughter Rasapriyā Rādhārāṇī Devī Dāsī and her husband Bhūpati Jagannātha dāsa, Bhaktin Riya. To always serve your lotus feet. Gurudeva, I beg you to please forgive me for all my offenses and anarthas!! Help me to be your sincere disciple!!
Your insignificant daughter,
Prītimayī Rādhikā Devī Dāsī
