Dear Guru Mahārāja! Please accept our respectful obeisances unto your lotus feet.

All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda! All glories to Śrīla Guru Mahārāja!

On the 74th auspicious Vyāsa-pūjā day, we are very happy to write our offerings to you. We see your determination to serve Śrīla Prabhupāda. We see your enthusiasm to serve Śrīla Prabhupāda. Your one-pointed focus on serving Śrīla Prabhupāda’s mission is wonderful. You are teaching us by example. You have got 50-plus instructions from Śrīla Prabhupāda. One of the instructions is unlimited preaching. You are executing it so nicely by giving the order to make Bangalore as first ISKCON city and tirelessly visiting all countries and all temples in India and encouraging devotees to preach and guiding them. Similarly, tirelessly working on completing TOVP. You are giving daily association in Zoom to all devotees through Caitanya-līlā’s class. This year you got the Bhakti-vaibhava degree, this is another example of teaching by example. You are connecting all the disciples and well-wishers through your app and sharing your daily activities, it is amazing. Your innovation book distribution is another example of teaching by example. You have the instruction for every month of 1 lakh small books and 10000 mahā-big books, you are trying diligently every day in your class and achieving it.

Because of your mercy and devotees’ mercy ISKCON Sarjapur Bhakti center was able to form 5 Bhakti-vṛkṣas and ISKCON Panathur Bhakti center able to form 4 bhakti-vṛkṣas in Bangalore. We are praying that always we want to become an instrument in your service. We know that you wanted 1000 Bhakti-vṛkṣas and 10 temples in Bangalore. We are trying Guru Mahārāja, we hope that the existing Bhakti-vṛkṣas will multiply by four after one and a half years. Please shower your mercy on all devotees of Bangalore so that we all work cooperatively and fulfill your order.

We are in the process of constructing a temple in ISKCON Whitefield. Please shower your blessing so that everything may happen as per your desire.

When you came to Tirupati you blessed us to take full-time service at ISKCON Whitefield, from November 2022 onwards I started serving full-time. Apart from preaching and involving in book distribution and helping in temple construction management services. In 2022, June, you gave us brāhmaṇa initiation to us. We are very much indebted to you and our devotees. We both completed our Bhakti-śāstrī degree and joined Bhakti-vaibhava, please bless us to complete successfully this degree.

We are praying to Lord Gaurāṅga Mahāprabhu and Nityānanda Prabhu for your good health.

We are seeking your blessings on this auspicious Vyāsa-pūjā day for spiritual progress and following the vow taken without fail.

Your Spiritual son and daughter,
