Hare Kṛṣṇa!
Daṇḍavat praṇāmas,
All Glories to Śrī Guru and Gaurāṅga! All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda! All glorious to Guru Mahārāja!
My humble Obeisance to my Spiritual Guru Jayapatākā Swami Guru Mahārāja.
I am pleased and feel blessed to be born in the period where I could have a darśana of true vaiṣṇavas like you. Though I feel unlucky for not being able to get a darśana of the Śrīla Prabhupāda, the root of the Kṛṣṇa Consciousness, feel convinced as Kṛṣṇa has blessed me to have the darshan of yours in the māyā entrapped Kali-yuga.
The dedication you show in following Śrīla Prabhupāda’s instruction in spite of your present health condition, makes me to think that the one-word substitution for the meaning of Austerity can be Jaya Śrīlā Guru Mahārāja. Really, I mean it. Your sincerity in making daily sādhana make me to feel ashamed whenever I excuse myself in quitting the daily sādhana. Though I am blessed being physically fit enough, I feel guilty whenever I am unable to perform the daily ārati due to the māyā’s attack.
Your sincere follow up to increase the Bhakti-vṛkṣa preaching all over the World, makes me to understand and feel, how thirsty you are to reach out the non-devotees to feel the taste of Kṛṣṇa Consciousness. I sincerely pray to Lord Kṛṣṇa to bless me by providing the necessary strength, knowledge and support to follow the mission of Śrīla Prabhupāda by spreading the Kṛṣṇa Consciousness by utilizing every second of my life without being entrapped by māyā.
I sincerely pray to Lord Kṛṣṇa to bring you back to your original fitness and live longer to enlighten more and more māyā entrapped ātmā like me to lead a valuable life. Hare Kṛṣṇa!
Your Humble Servant
Chandrasekar (Aspirant Devotee)
