Dina dayal dasa and Kanaka Manjari devi dasi

Dear most respectful Guru Maharaja,

Please accept our humble obeisances at the dust of your lotus feet. All glories to Your Divine Grace. All glories to his divine grace Srila Prabhupada.

Guru Maharaja, it is more than an year passed without having your physical association in the absence of Yatras on account of COVID fears. However, there was no dearth of your virtual association. Your mercy is rained upon us, not showered, with regular online classes twice every day on different vaisnava spiritual subjects. We are very thankful Guru Maharaja. But we are only way behind to focus our attention fully and equally on all the classes.

However, your classes on “Pristine Flow of Bhagavatam” conducted at Naperville are very useful to renew our knowledge of first six Cantos of Srimad-Bhagavatam. Particularly, Canto five, Part two helped us a lot to understand Vedic Cosmology covered in Chapters from sixteen to Twenty-Six. We would not have understood this topic well without watching the TOVP (Temple of Vedic Planetarium) short video film containing the graphics on this subject, along with your detailed explanation. In fact, it took us three visits of this class to arrive at a better grasping of structure of universe. It is a great explanation by His Divine Grace Srila Prabhuda through his purports and the skillful effort of His Grace Antardwip Prabhu in translating the same into effective visuals deserves appreciation. We are grateful to all of you Guru Maharaja for this beautiful and descriptive presentation.

Guru Maharaja, we feel from the efforts and attention you pay, particularly post COVID pandemic, that you are fully dedicated to the mission of your Guru Maharaja His Holiness Srila Prabhupada leaving no minute getting wasted. We feel that you truly represent the intent and content of Rupa Gosvami’s verse “anyabhilasita-sunyam” [Bhakti-rasamrta-sindhu 1.1.11].

Guru Maharaja, we have just completed hearing and discussing of “Festival of Holy Name” classes of this year 2021 held at Naperville on the topic “Rupa Gosvami’s Grace” in the virtual association of His Grace Jagadananda Prabhu and devotees of Indore group. The presentation by His Grace Nityananda Pran Prabhu on selective Padyavali verses and the workshop of His Grace Yamuna Jivana Prabhu on set of three questions added strength in deriving the required objective of the seminar. Their selection and the topics allotted to them for this seminar display your much thoughtful wisdom. We are thankful for them too.

These classes really help us to realize the power, potency and importance of focused chanting of Holy Name. Hearing Festival of Holy Name classes every year will recharge and renew our faith in Holy Name and help improved chanting. We are grateful for this Guru Maharaja.

This time, the improved Start Meeting technology is perfectly utilized by His Grace Jagadananda Prabhu during our morning online classes by availing break out session after hearing, dividing the attending devotees into separate rooms for discussions, allotting four, five devotees in each room. This helped everyone to participate and share their feelings and realizations, free from shyness or indifference which would otherwise have not happened in a larger group.

Guru Maharaja, on the occasion of your appearance day we pray to Bhagavan Sri Krsna to bless you with good health and vigor in order to continue your efforts of serving your Guru Maharaja’s mission of spreading Krsna consciousness.

Guru Maharaja, we are very tiny persons in unsteady devotion moving up and down, and you are a self realized Spiritual Master, representative of the Supreme Soul. In fact, we do not have the ability or the qualification to glorify you. Please forgive us the mistakes committed by us in our attempts to serve you. Guru Maharaja, please bless us so that we will be always steady in devotion to you.

Your insignificant servants,
