Hare Kṛṣṇa Dear Guru Mahārāja,

Dear Guru Mahārāja,

I offer my humble obeisances at your lotus feet, which have tirelessly traversed the globe to spread the glories of Lord Kṛṣṇa. Your unwavering dedication and selfless service to the International Society for Kṛṣṇa consciousness has inspired countless devotees and non-devotees alike.

All Glories to Śrīla Prabhupada.

All Glories to you Guru Mahārāja

On your 74th Vyāsa-pūjā, I offer my heartfelt gratitude and respect for your selfless service and dedication to the mission of Śrīla Prabhupāda. Your selfless dedication and tireless service to the mission of Śrīla Prabhupāda have inspired many fallen souls like me to deepen our devotion to Śrī Śrī Rādhā and Kṛṣṇa.

I don’t have any qualifications, but I am so fortunate to have the opportunity to glorify you, my dear Spiritual Master. Your leadership, wisdom, and compassionate nature have touched the hearts of many and have made a profound impact on the lives of those you have touched. Your love for Śrīla Prabhupāda and your commitment to his mission are an inspiration for us all.

I’d like to express my eternal gratitude for accepting both me and my Prabhujī into your family. It is my tremendous privilege to be an insignificant part of your spiritual family. We are very undeserving, yet after being under your care, we feel more secure and blessed in our spiritual and material lives, as well as more connected to you.

Your tireless efforts in establishing and developing ISKCON centers around the world have brought the holy names of Śrī Kṛṣṇa and Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu to people of all walks of life. You have tirelessly engaged in spreading the message of bhakti, despite facing numerous challenges and health setbacks. And I can just try to follow you.

By your causeless mercy, we read the Bhagavad-gītā and Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam almost every day along with my daughter, your grand-daughter, Angel. Sadānanda Śacīputra, your spiritual son (my Prabhujī), is currently reading the 10th canto. Please continue to shower your blessings on us so that we can finish Caitanya-caritāmta as well. Guru Mahārāja, we frequently attend your live zoom Caitanya-līlā class. Guru Mahārāja, you have such special relationships with each of us.

We are eternally grateful for your guidance and blessings. I pray to Śrī Śrī Gāndharvikā-Giridhārī, Narasihadeva and Gaura-Nitāi for your good health and long life. And I beg you for your mercy Gurudeva so that I can serve you and the Caitanya Mahāprabhu’s mission without committing any offenses.

I pray to you and all Vaiṣṇavas that one day I will be able to please you Gurudeva. Please assist us in performing our sādhana in a manner that pleases both you and Kṛṣṇa. I’m merely a tool in your hands to carry out your commands throughout our lives. Please give us opportunity to serve you and Kṛṣṇa. Guru Mahārāja, you are our hero, we love you.

Your loving spiritual daughter,
Amrtamayi Vi
