Nagamalleswar and Prasuna

Hare Krsna Maharaja,

Please accept our humble obeisances at your lotus feet. All glories to you! All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

It has been three years since we met you personally in Bangalore, India. Since then, we could see the calmness in our hearts and transformation of our lives from being centered around matter to guru and Krsna centered. The amount of positivity you bring in our lives is matchless. By regularly hearing your deep, philosophical, and insightful lectures based on the teachings of previous acaryas and Srila Prabhupada’s purports, our deeply rooted ignorance is driven away. The effort you put into presenting Krsna consciousness through simple and easily understandable PowerPoint presentations reflects your compassion in drawing our attention to the message of the Personality of Godhead. The faith you instill in our hearts in the process of bhakti-yoga through your personal interactions shows how much you care for both our spiritual progress and our personal well-being.

Your tireless preaching, day in and day out, to the Chinese as well as to all of us, shows your commitment and dedication to the preaching mission of Srila Prabhupada and the guru–parampara. It inspires us to do our daily sadhana and services in a well-disciplined and regulated manner. It also shows that language and country are never a barrier for preaching and spreading Krsna consciousness.

It took a lot of time for us to realize that Krsna consciousness, which we are carrying, is indeed a matchless gift which you have bestowed upon us out of your causeless mercy, and you are the true proprietor of that seed. Out of ignorance and lack of sufficient knowledge, I was thinking that I am the proprietor of it, leading to forgetfulness of my real identity and suffering in this material world. I humbly beg you to please remove this darkness of ignorance with your divine teachings and bless us with the love of Sri Sri Radha and Krsna.

Maharaja, we are eternally grateful for the seed of bhakti you have sown in our hearts, for guarding it, for connecting us to the guru-parampara, and for ultimately offering our bhakti to Sri Sri Radha and Krsna. Though we are offering this Vyasa-puja homage at your lotus feet with ungrateful hearts and insufficient choice of words, you, out of love for all of us, accept our offerings wholeheartedly and continue to shower your blessings upon us without any discrimination.

On this most auspicious Vyasa-puja day, we pray at the lotus feet of our dear Lordships Sri Sri Gandharvika Giridhari, Sriman Mahaprabhu, Sri Laksmi Nrsimhadeva and Srila Prabhupada to always bless you with good health and fulfill all your desires.

Your aspiring servants,
Nagamalleswar and Prasuna
