Dear Gurudeva,

All Glories to Shrila Prabhupad …!!! All Glories to Shri Guru and Shri Gauranga…!!!

Please accept my humble obeisances unto your lotus feet.

On this most auspicious day of your Holiness’ Vyasa Puja, I pray to Their Lordships and to you to kindly stay with us for, as long as possible as. It is because of your unconditional mercy on us that person like me, can try to get closer to Krishna.

Your Holiness, despite of your physical condition you continue to travel worldwide to preach and spread the holy name to all. Your ever compassionate mercy is showered on all those who come in contact with you, even for the slightest moment. Preaching to the doctors and nurses, who even started chanting by associating with your holiness for just few moments…!!!

Whenever, I have the good fortune of having your darshan that moment is so nice and magical, that I forget about everything else, but after some period, my very own conditioned self is back.

I feel very miserable that I am not able to help in your mission of spreading Krishna consciousness and so I humbly ask you to kindly shower your mercy on me so that I could be of some use in this grand mission. Although, I am actively participating in various services at home during Bhakti Vriksha programs and whenever possible in congregation but my wish is to start some preaching activity for young girls of my age.

I am not capable to glorify your holiness properly. Also, I ask for forgiveness for all the offences that I have committed and continue to do so, and also ask for blessings so that I can become serious in Krishna Consciousness and try to serve your holiness and Shrila Prabhupad.

Please kindly bless me so that I become more attached to your holiness and lord Krishna rather than other things.

I am very thankful and grateful to you as your holiness kindly accepted someone like me as your disciple / spiritual daughter, few months back , on 17th April 17 at Ahmedabad.

I feel very fortunate to be under protection knowing that your holiness is always there to guide me and bring me back on track. During initiation, I felt so impure to be standing there, in front of the yajna and  receiving the holy beads, but you very kindly and lovingly handed me the beads, accepting this unworthy soul as your daughter.

Although please bless me so that I never take this for granted. Thank you Gurudev, for accepting me, for without your holiness, I don’t know what I would be.

As you may be aware dear Gurudeva, that I am pursuing a career in Achitecture ( Bachelor in Architecture)  and thus my graduation studies are taking lot of time every day. I wish to have my regular weekly preaching program for young girls or wish to at least do sankirtana in the garden along with few other  young devotees in order to attract new souls.

There is no way that I can ever repay this but my dear gurudev please bless me so that I do not become a liability and a burden to you and instead help you in your mission, be an asset, be a soldier in this huge army.

I am so worthless that although it being your Vyasa puja, instead of glorifying your holiness, all I’ve done is asked for blessings. Please again bless me so that I can improve in that.

Your most worthless daughter,

Rasapriya Radharani Devi Dasi ( Diksha Disciple )
