Dear Srila Guru Maharaja,

Please accept our respectful humble obeisances in the dust of your divine lotus feet.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada. All glories to Your divine grace.

Please accept humble words of gratitude as our Vyasa-puja offering unto you:

As we witness your decades of unwavering devotional service, we begin to grasp the depth of your Krsna consciousness. In you we see a living example of ahaituky apratihata, unalloyed and uninterrupted devotional. You have fearlessly and cent-percent lived the instructions of Srila Prabhupada, setting a glorious example for generations to come. Your attachment for the Holy Name, rati in hari-katha and service to please Vaisnavas and the Deities as well as loyalty to Srila Prabhupada is very inspiring.

We personally feel intense elevation and immediate focus by taking association of your vani. Your vani revives the dormant Krsna consciousness within our hearts, and your magnanimous love moves and transforms our soul. Your lectures are so powerful that they instill Krsna consciousness immediately in our hearts. And your vapu association is so pleasing. It’s a fortune to witness your unwavering discipline and high Krsna consciousness. One thing which anyone can so clearly see in you is that you are very hard working for Prabhupada and Krsna. You do not let any minute go in vain, without service. Thank you for enduring countless challenges, misunderstandings, and the inevitable negativity that arises on managerial, personal, and organizational levels in this material world.

Your glories shine above it all, and we are truly inspired by your spotless example as a pure devotee and sincere servant of Srila Prabhupada. If there is one heartfelt prayer we can offer unto you, it’ll be: may your glories eternally shine within our hearts, and may we become your genuine disciples in every sense of the word. Thank you for making us immensely fortunate to have received you as our spiritual master. We sincerely pray for your continued good health for many decades to come, so that even the children of our children may be blessed by your holy association. Thank you very much Guru Maharaja.

Your menial servant,
Jayadeva dasa, Niyati devi dasi, Satyabhama, Yashoda and Vrndavana
