My dear Vaishnava's,
 
Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. All glories to you.
 
Hope you are doing well during this COVID-19 pandemic that has taken over the world with terror, pain and suffering for humanity at large. 
 
Sorry for not writing sooner as I did not know what exactly to write but today I had a realization that this pandemic is an opportunity created by Krishna for everyone to come closer to Him by having their own personal realizations, dependence on Him for protection and our inability to get over this on our own.
 
Many people think that an antidote or injection can save them, but I feel that only Krishna can save us. "Rakhe Krishna mare ke, mare Krishna rakhe ke". 
 
The whole world is in a chaotic condition since everyone has turned away their faces from Krishna and now is the time to approach Him together as was done in past ages by the demigods and sages at the banks of Kshira Sagara. 
 
This is now a golden opportunity for us all to develop that world of brotherly love for each other, free from envy and hatred and pray together with extended hands to Krishna for His protection in the manner taught by Srila Prabhupada and with a child's cry begging for His mercy. 
 
Oh! My Lord Krishna, please save us "if you so desire" so we can again associate with your devotees, serve together, preach together and visit Your holy dham for our spiritual enlightenment. Feel the fresh fragrance of that holiest of places where You once enjoyed Your pastimes in the groves of Vraja. 
 
We have lost "vapu" association of so many devotees around the world due to this pandemic and a whole year has passed in immense suffering.
 
The grand opening of The Temple of the Vedic Planetarium has been delayed which everyone of us were desperately waiting for so that once again we can chant and dance to the beats of the Holy Names.
 
Our beloved Ganges is now covered with corpses of dead people. Mother earth is holding in her arms so many dead people who are her own children just like us and those who are still living can do something about it.
 
Now is the time, so humbly requesting all the Vaishnava's to please pray to Krishna with all your hearts to get us out of this calamity so we can once again get together and do wonders for Lord Caitanya and Srila Prabhupada's movement.
 
Yours in the service of Guru and Gauranga,
 
Nityananda Das
