Respected Guru Maharaja,

Hare Krsna. Please accept my most humble obeisances in the dust of your divine lotus feet. All glories to Srila Prabhupada and all glories to you!

On the auspicious occasion of your Vyasa-puja, I sincerely pray to the Almighty Lord to keep you in good health. I sincerely pray that you find no obstacle in carrying out your mission of assisting Srila Prabhupada and that your glories reach far and wide benefitting many fallen souls like me.

Maharaja, first I would like to thank you immensely for your commitment to give us association everyday through morning and evening classes. Though Kali-yuga has many faults the greatest benediction is easy access to the chanting of the holy name, similarly though there are many difficulties due to COVID, the only good thing is the nectar I receive from your classes. It brings in an atmosphere of positivity. Your confidence in the protection of the Lord makes us fearless inspite of anxiety and fear all around us. Taking all the risk you keep travelling to enlighten the devotees by your personal presence. In one of the classes, you were saying how you everyday without fail listen to Prabhupada’s classes to get infused with more seriousness in pursuing the goal. Seeing these wonderful qualities of yours gives me a sense of purpose in carrying out my devotional service. We are able to feel Srila Prabhuapada’s dedication through your dedication and service towards him.

As you say, we have to move from head to heart. Your honest and deep sharing in these classes drives me to get over my inertia and attempt to invest some consciousness into the devotional activities. Be it a small child or an advanced devotee, you hear each one of us very carefully by understanding our heart and then address it compassionately to enrich our faith and devotion in serving Guru and Krsna. I am truly and eternally indebted to you. I sincerely pray for mercy to be able to please you and Krsna and give you some joy and happiness through my service. Again, I offer my sincere prayers at the lotus feet of the Supreme Lord to protect you from all envious forces and fulfilling all your desire in service to Srila Prabhupada! Please forgive me for any offenses committed at your lotus feet knowingly or unknowingly. Thanking you.

Your very fallen yet aspiring servant,
Savitri devi dasi
