from Vijaya Gopal Das – United States, Greenville

Dear Srila Gurudeva,

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. All glories to You.

I would like to say thank you, on behalf of millions of fortunate people you gifted with the seed of bhakti, over the last fifty years of your preaching efforts (I’m fortunate to be one of them). The magnitude of your hard work is difficult to comprehend and the fruits of it will continue manifesting for the next 10,000 years. Your bold preaching and the faith in the holy names are demonstration of modern days pastimes of Caitanya Mahaprabhu.

The festivals you organize are modern times display of Vishnu Yagnas celebrated on the calendars of Vaisnavas and Demigods. Those events are the result of combined effort of generations of Vaisnavas. Bhaktivinoda Thakura revived Lord Caitanya’s movement. Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati defended it. Srila Prabhupada transplanted this movement in the west. And you Srila Gurudeva have been broadcasting it to every town and village, planting the seed of bhakti in millions of hearts and creating generations of Vaisnavas to come. Srila Prabhupada and all the acharyas must be very proud of you.

Thank you for all your love, blessings and protection. Thank you for engaging me in your service. My only request and prayer is that you let me be your servant eternally.

With love and gratitude,
Your servant, Vijaya Gopal Das
