My Dearest Guru Mahārāja,

Please accept my humble obeisances at your divine lotus feet.
All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda.
All glories to Your Divine Grace.

Words fall short when trying to glorify your incredible dedication, compassion, and unwavering commitment to Śrīla Prabhupāda’s mission. You are a living example of the instruction:

“yāre dekha, tāre kaha 'kṛṣṇa'-upadeśa”
(Caitanya-caritāmṛta, Madhya 7.128)

—preaching Kṛṣṇa consciousness tirelessly, despite facing immense physical challenges.

Your compassion knows no bounds. You do not see any distinction among devotees—everyone is treated with kindness, warmth, and personal concern. Whether a senior leader or a new devotee, you interact with everyone with the same fatherly affection and care. Your patience is limitless, guiding thousands of disciples and well-wishers with love, ensuring that each one of us progresses in Kṛṣṇa consciousness.

It is truly astonishing to witness your enthusiasm and tireless energy in meetings, discussions, and planning sessions. Despite your health challenges, you actively participate in countless forums, offering invaluable insights to resolve critical issues and foster the development of Śrīla Prabhupāda’s movement. Your contributions shape the future of ISKCON, ensuring that it remains strong and effective in spreading Lord Caitanya’s mission.

Not only are you guiding devotees worldwide, but you are also fulfilling Mahāprabhu’s prophecy by reviving Gaura-maṇḍala-bhūmi, the sacred land of Lord Caitanya. Your efforts in renovating ancient temples and bringing them back to life are unmatched. By restoring these holy places, you are reconnecting the world to the divine legacy of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu and His associates.

Your life is the greatest lesson for all devotees—that no material condition can stop one from serving Guru and Gaurāṅga. You embody the mood of complete surrender and fearless dedication. Through every action, you teach us that devotion is not limited by the condition of the body, but by the depth of one’s heart and determination.

Guru Mahārāja, you are simply amazing! Your glories cannot be contained within a few pages—they are limitless. We are eternally grateful for your mercy, guidance, and blessings. May we serve you faithfully and assist you in fulfilling Śrīla Prabhupāda’s mission.

Your eternal servant,
Revati Rāmaṇa Dāsa
