“Distribute this Krsna consciousness movement all over the world. Let people eat these fruits and ultimately become free from old age and death. [Caitanya-caritamrita Adi 9.39]”
Srila Prabhupada writes in the purport, “Therefore those who are actually servants of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu must seriously distribute this movement all over the world to render the greatest benefit to human society.”
When I was meditating on this purport, I was thinking of how you in such adverse situations like Corona, continue to distribute Krsna consciousness all over the world without any break or pause. This shows you are the true servant of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu.
It doesn’t end just at attracting people to this wonderful path but giving them all spiritual care and training in every aspect of life is an inconceivable thing. It takes so much austerity, endless sacrifices, and so much patience and tolerance. Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura mentioned that to make one person Krsna consciousness, one needs to shed gallons of blood. We are fortunate to personally witness this unique feature of Lord Caitanya’s compassionate mission coming via a transparent medium – Your Divine Grace, and all these are offered to us simply for our well-being without any expectation. In these ways you are making the teachings of the parampara to penetrate our hearts as the true servant of Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu
Dear Guru Maharaja, once you were in Vrndavana during Kartik month, you mentioned that you immediately accepted some service at VIHE, as you mentioned “I can’t live without service”. It shows how not only during your stay in Vrndavana but your whole life is dedicated to the service of Lord Sri Krsna and in following the footsteps of your spiritual master Srila Prabhupada. Your teachings are immaculate, and you teach through personal example, which prompt us to live in this world expressing the values of the spiritual world. Material and spiritual worlds are but different expressions of the same reality, the energy of the Supreme Lord. Your personal example shows us how we need to carefully bring the qualities of the spiritual world into the day-to-day activities of the material world. Not only that but you also constantly remind us how careful we should be while engaging in Krsna’s service, living the values of the spiritual world. By our efforts alone we cannot attain that perfectional state. yasya prasadad bhagavat-prasada. Only by your mercy alone we can even aspire to come to the platform of perfection while engaging in Krsna’s service.
While preparing for the seminar on Sri Manah-siksa, you referred to the book authored by Her Grace Urmila Mataji, and you expressed your gratitude and glorification to Mataji on multiple occasions. You have taught us and shown us once again by your own example that real glorification should not just be lip deep but should permeate one’s life and one’s every breath.
Although our routine life is yet far from such deep appreciation of your mercy. I am nevertheless trying to make these expressions of appreciation in the hope that it will gradually penetrate my heart and eventually permeate my life.
We would like to take this opportunity to express our sincere gratitude to your confidential servants Syama Kund Prabhu and Vinodini Mataji who exemplify what it means to be a disciple. By their own example, they show how to serve the spiritual master and how to make service to the spiritual master as one’s life and soul. Also, they always think about how to serve others, be it small or big, it doesn’t matter. I would like to narrate an incident that when we were on a spiritual yatra I had a severe stiff back spasm and was almost immobilized. In that situation, how Syama Kund Prabhu and other devotees helped me, was exemplary. It shows how he always keeps other’s comfort ahead of his own. Thank you to Syama Kund Prabhu and devotees.
We sincerely pray from core of our heart to Lord Nrsimhadeva to protect and bless you, so that you can carry out the orders of your spiritual master, His Divine Grace Srila Prabhupada
Kindly forgive us for our offenses and mistakes committed knowingly or unknowingly.
Your aspiring servants,
