Vrajajana dasa, Hari-puja devi dasi, Nithya, and Krsna
Please accept my humble obesiances unto your lotus feet. All glories to you and Srila Prabhupada.
Today is most auspicious day of your appearance. This day is a celebration and gratitude for us and so many of your disciples that you kindly agreed to help conditioned souls like me on behalf of Srila Prabhupada and Krsna. As years passing through and grow older, I see your enthusiasm in rendering this difficult and thankless service, workload, travel, number of disciples, and responsibilities only increase day by day. This is only possible since you draw your energy from eternal spiritual source. But unfortunately, we are not able to completely avail your mercy and still struggling to deal with material energy. On this auspicious day, we sincerely seek your blessings and prayers for us so that we may develop little bit of taste towards pure devotional service.
The one symptom we observe in you since we met around 8 years ago, is your selfless service and being an exemplary of what you teach all of us. You simply want every one of us to be happy in our relationship with Guru and Krsna. Therefore, whatever situation we are in we have to take it as favorable for devotional service to Krsna. When I first wrote to you about the condition of my daughter Krsna, I got an amazing reply from you that life’s challenges as a personal opportunity extended by Krsna to your family in the form of a unique kind of service and you referred verse in Srimad-Bhagavatam 8.22.29-30. The Lord is so kind to His devotee that when severely testing him that Lord gives him the necessary strength also to be tolerant and continue to remain a glorious devotee and you also gave so many other examples in your letter. I always refer to your reply and read multiple times whenever I feel the material pain in the form of human emotions and draw lot of spiritual strength. We also derive lot of strength by hearing your recorded videos and lectures and feel your personal presence in our life. It is so common whenever your divine voice is heard my daughter Krsna looks in all corners and search where this sound vibration is coming.
Recently when you visited Nashville, TN and met a devotee who also has a daughter with similar kind of health condition as my daughter, you kindly enquired and immediately called me to update what that family tried for their daughter and asked us to try out the same treatment. We are very surprised the fact that out of your busy schedule still you care so much this insignificant servant and remembered our story and extend your mercy upon us. We are so fortunate to receive your inconceivable mercy and blessings for our family. Thank you very much for giving your ultimate shelter by accepting us at your lotus feet. I also would like to thank Parama Rupa prabhu for his association through Bhagavad-gita classes.
As we continue with our struggles with our own mind and family situation, we have to come to depend more and more upon you being there for us. We can never think of repaying you for your kindness – other than simply trying to make an attempt to live by your instructions and teachings. On this auspicious occasion, we simply beg you to empower us with the necessary courage and strength to deal any kind of situation in our life and be an instrument of Guru and Krsna. Thank you for giving an opportunity to express our gratitude on this auspicious occasion and we also beg for your forgiveness if commit any offenses knowingly or unknowingly.
Your insignificant servants,
Vrajajana dasa, Hari-puja devi dasi, Nithya and Krsna
