Patit Pawan Guru Maharaj Ki Shila Prabhupada ki the year 1989 I came to Mayapur for the first time and the crowd was maximum thousand devotees, I suppose. But today I see thousands and thousands of devotees. So crowded you have to walk around is so difficult. How is that a pure devotee is there means people throng to take his shelter. That sign we can see. And recently during GBC meetings, Shivaram Swami called me for lunch. While having lunch, he told me suddenly I came to know your Guru Maharaj is very, very sick. I was shocked. I told Maharaj is sick. Generally he is sick. No, no, he's very sick. Actually I thought in the evening I'll go and see Guru Maharaj and see what is the status like. But I was planning to go. Then I saw Guru Maharaj coming to a pendal for a class and gave a class Next time when I met Shivaram Swami, he told me, your Guru Maharaj is a superman, you know what is superman? Something special, you know, extraordinary personality. So rather, Guru Maharaj in any situation is wonderful. Healthy or not healthy is totally transcendental. His body is transcendental. His speech is tragic. His looks are tragic. Everything about Guru Maharaj is transcendental. Even in the GBC meetings. The way he gives the inputs even a normal person cannot give. Once Gopal Krishna Maharaj was sitting next to me, told me, what is this? Your Guru Maharaj who can do like that? For every item he has inputs. Not just like saying something very, very important. Inputs which can be applied for the whole law of iskcon. So I just made the offering here for Guru Maharaj. Dear Guru Maharaj, words fall short when trying to glorify your incredible dedication, compassion and unwavering commitment to Srila Prabhupada's mission. Guru Maharaj, you are a living example of the instruction Yare de KE tare kah Krishna Upadesha. Preaching Krishna Consciousness tirelessly. Despite facing immense physical challenges, your compassion knows no bounds. You do not see any distinction among devotees. Everyone is treated with kindness, warmth and personal concern. Whether a senior leader or a new devotee, you interact with them the same fatherly affection and care. Your patience is limitless. Guiding thousands of disciples and well wishers with love, ensuring that each one of us progresses in Krishna Consciousness. It is truly astonishing to witness your enthusiasm and tireless energy in meetings, discussions and planning sessions. Through your health challenges, you actively participate in countless forums, offering invaluable insights to resolve critical issues and foster the development of Srila Prabhupada's movement. Guru Maharaj, your contributions shape the future of iskcon, ensuring that it remains strong and effective in spreading Lord Chaitanya's mission. Not only are you guiding devotees worldwide, but also fulfilling Mahaprabhu's prophecy by reviving Gauravaramandala Bhoomi, the sacred land of Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu. Your efforts in renovating ancient temples and bringing them back to life are unmatched. By restoring these holy places, you are reconnecting the world to the divine legacy of Sri Chaitanya Mahprabhu and his associates. Guru Maharaj, your life is the greatest lesson for all devotees. That no mental condition can stop one from serving. Guru and Gauranga, you embody the mood of complete surrender and fearless dedication. Though through every action you teach us that devotion is not limited by the body's condition, but by the depth of one's heart and determination. Guru Maharaj, you are simply amazing. Your glories cannot be contained within a few pages. They are limitless. You are eternally grateful for your mercy, guidance and blessings. May we serve you faithfully and assist you in fulfilling Srila Prabhupada's mission. Your eternal servant, Revitra Mandas and Bhaktika Devi and the devotees of iskcon, Tirupati and South India. Hare Krishna. Guru Maharaj, thank you so much.
