Hare Krishna Srila Gurudeva,

Please accept my sincere and humble obeisances at your lotus feet. 🙇‍♂️

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

All glories to you, Gurudeva!

Happy Krishna Conscious 77th Birthday to you, Gurudeva!

On this most auspicious day of your appearance, I humbly offer my gratitude, though I feel unqualified to do so.

Gurudeva, I still remember the first time I saw you in 2020 at the airport and received your vapu association. You are such an expert preacher, empowering so many people like me with your vapu and vani. Every time I hear you speak, I am amazed—my questions are answered even before I ask them.

Today, we are celebrating your 77th Vyasa Puja. Not only your disciples but the entire ISKCON of Richmond congregation is celebrating with love. Every devotee in our congregation has at least one memorable moment with you, Gurudeva. That is how much love you have shared with us.

Your compassion knows no bounds, as you see Krishna in every living being. I still remember an incident in your ashram where some ants were near the sink. I was about to kill them, but you stopped me. You carefully took them and threw them outside gently, sparing their lives.

You also bring joy with your sense of humor. I recall wearing Adidas shoes once, and you pointed out, saying, “Did you see that? It says ‘Adi Das.’” Since then, I stopped wearing that brand!

Gurudeva, your every visit gives us memories to cherish for a lifetime. I will hold onto these moments until my last breath.

Thank you so much for always emphasizing the importance of chanting the Hare Krishna maha-mantra attentively and studying Srila Prabhupada’s books with great faith and enthusiasm. After hearing your dynamic lectures and the way you explain Srila Prabhupada’s purports so strongly, I truly feel that Srila Prabhupada is living in his books.

Please continue to guide me and help me to remain under your shelter always. I pray for your mercy and blessings to overcome my unwanted desires and steadily progress on the path of bhakti.

Our sincere prayers to Lord Gauranga Mahaprabhu are for your health and energy so that you can continue distributing His love to millions of conditioned souls.

Gurudeva, it is my sincere desire to assist you in some small way in your service to Srila Prabhupada. Please allow me to stay in devotional service and remain close to your lotus feet.

Thank you very much for accepting me as your disciple.

Your insignificant servant,

RamaKrishnananda Das
