Our dear and respected Guru Maharaja,
Please accept our most humble and respected obeisances in the dust of your divine lotus feet!
All glories to Your Divine Grace. All glories to Srila Prabhupada!
Guru Maharaja, in one of the Festival of Holy Name lecture you said to the effect that your wish and sankalpa as a teacher and guide for all of us is, to inspire and give the tools to go beyond complacency and indifference and close to the stage of laulyam. To inspire and guide us in our spiritual lives, this year you spent many hours in giving classes topic by topic – Srimad-Bhagavatam, Uddhava-gita, Ramayana, Krsna’s Pastimes from the Tenth Canto and series of lectures to build relationships in the community. Even with so many COVID restrictions, you took every opportunity to show your love and care for us. You are teaching us by your example. We are inspired and moved by your efforts, love and care for all of us.
We are very thankful to have His Grace Nityananda Pran Prabhu and Her Grace Hemangi Mataji as our elder brother and sister, they always have time and energy for others. In spite of what goes on in their lives, they extend themselves. They are showing us by their example how to lead a life of a vaisnava under different circumstances.
On this special day we beg for the spiritual strength to continue our devotional service, humble mood of service to serve Their Lordships Sri Sri Kisora Kisori and Their devotees and to please you. Guru Maharaja, you are always absorbed in Srimad-Bhagavatam, please bless us so that we may also get little taste to read Srimad-Bhagavatam and apply it in our lives.
Your humble servants,
Narahari dasa and Saumya devi dasi
