Guru Mahārāja, my spiritual father,
Please accept my most humble obeisance to the dust of your lotus feet.
In the year 2018, I and my family were so fortunate to have your personal darśan in August, 2018 in Caitanya Nitāi Desh (Chennai), prior to your operation. In spite your health condition, you allowed for personal darśan. This incident would be in my memory line as a most cherished moment all through my life.
After your surgery, with in few weeks of operation, you started straight communication with all your well-wishers and disciples through evening classes. This is a clear indication of your eagerness and care for devotees. Your commitment to Śrīla prabupada is unparalleled.
As mentioned in the NOI 3, utsahan nishcayad dhairya, tat-tat-karma-pravartanat. The enthusiasm, patience and endurance are the success formula for pure devotional service and you are the embodiment and manifestation of such success in pure devotional service. Your success in continuous self-less service to Śrī Guru and Śrī Gaurāṅga without any expectation is a proof for future generations.
Your initiatives for congregation preaching through Bhakti vṛkṣa program is your service to Śrīla Prabhupāda initiatives for developing the congregation all over the world to fulfill the Lord Caitanya prophecy. These results are ever increasing thus authenticating the process.
Your greatest magnanimity is your compassion and with that many fallen condition souls like me were benefited. Though, I have no eligibility in any spectrum of my life, you accepted me as your disciple on the recommendation of your dear disciple His Grace Vaikuntapati prabhuji, to have you as our spiritual master.
After moving to Wakra in 2017 (a city in Kṛṣṇa Kathā Deśa,), by your mercy we could re organize and consolidated into 3 groups with Kola-Cakra- Mathura, Vṛndāvan and Dwaraka. We are surviving by your mercy only Guru Majharaj. Also started new Śrīmad bhāgavatam classes in Dwaraka group to avoid long travel.
As per the Yatra demand, along with Kola cakra, I accepted to serve for four more cakra ( Anant padmanbha cakra, Ekacakra, Rudra cakra and Govardhana giri cakra). I seek similar aspirations while serving other cakras to serve you in helping Śrīla Prabhupāda mission.
This year a special service opportunity was given to me and my wife in the translation of your book “ Bhakti for bliss” in Telugu language.
Guru Mahārāja on this special day of yours, I humbly beg you for the following benedictions that:
1) To give humble state of mind to follow your instructions as my heart and soul without any deviation and to help you in śrīla Prabhupāda mission.
2) To fulfill the desire of Kṛṣṇa Kathā Deśa Yatra 222 -2022 Bhakti-vṛkṣa in Kṛṣṇa katha desh. I also seek your blessings and empowerment for the fulfillment of challenge in taking up 34 Bhakti-vṛkṣa groups in our South zone in the 2019.
3) To give us success in our efforts for developing devotees becoming eligible for accepting you as their spiritual master and lead blissful spiritual life in the service of guru and gaurāṅga.
4) Namananda Asima Dāsaprabhuji from Kṛṣṇa Kathā Deśa, started to form one group in Algeria and request your mercy for its manifestation.
These tasks are only possible by your causeless mercy. I seek permanent shelter at your lotus feet, again and again. Guru Mahārāja,
Guru Mahārāja, My entire family (wife, Ujvala Kalindi Devī Dāsī, your aspirant children, Amrutha and Anirudh and my mother Varādhātri Paurnamasi Devī Dāsī) joins me on the auspicious day of your 70th Vyasa puja, in praying to Lordships Śrī Śrī Rādhā Mādhava, Śrī Śrī Gaura Nitāi, Narsimha dev and Panch tattva for your good health so that you will be in your best of spirits and also complete the “Lord Caitanya” book which would be a greatest treasure for entire Gaudiya Vaishnava community in future.
Your insignificant disciple,
Rādhāpati Śyāma dāsa (Dīkṣā Disciple)
Kṛṣṇa Kathā Deśa, Middle East
