Hare Kṛṣṇa dear Guru Mahārāja!
please accept my humble obeisances at the dust of your lotus feet.
On the auspicious day of your appearance, despite my frailties and limitations, I offer this meager attempt to say few words to glorify your Holiness.
Genuine care for someone is a rare thing in this material world, you so expertly train and encourage all of us to take care of other in the same way you care to distribute the unconditional Kṛṣṇa-prema brought by the merciful Lord Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu. Gurudeva your practical demonstration of service to Lord by proving that we are not the body is really amazing. We derive inspiration from the activities of your Holiness all the time to keep ourselves in your service of spreading Śrīla Prabhupādas movement. We in Kṛṣṇa-kathā Deśa are able to spread your message through Bhakti-vṛkṣas and Nāmahaṭṭa programs and Gita for everyone programs to some extent in spite of restrictions in this area. This is only possible because of your strong desire to spread the movement in this part of the world taking all precautions.
Guru Mahārāja within few months I will be completing my job service in Kṛṣṇa-kathā Deśa and will be returning back to INDIA. We thought of a plan to serve in a place where there is no center so far in Bengaluru. We are keen to spread the message in a very amicable way within the jurisdiction of GBC rules and guidance from concerned ISKCON authority from that area. I have a project report which can be shown to your Holiness if some time permitted during your Vyāsa-pūjā time. Guru Mahārāja it will never be easy for us to cope up in this endeavor unless your Holiness is fully convinced and happily permit us to proceed. I Vrajeśvara Śyāma dāsa and my wife Sumukhī Rādhā devī dāsī are second initiated from your Holiness. I would submit myself to be instrumental in your hercules industry of spreading Prabhupāda’s movement.
I pray for the ability to assist you in your glorious mission to please Śrīla Prabhupāda and previous acharyas.
Dāsānudāsa,
Vrajeśvara Śyāma dāsa
