Vyāsa-pūjā 2018

Gijeesh Shaji (Dāmodara Deśa - Middle East)

Dearest Guru Mahārāja,

Please accept my humble obeisances. All Glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda. All Glories unto Your Lotus Feet. 

Guru Mahārāja, I am the son of His Grace Śaṅkhadārī Viṣṇu Dāsa and Her Grace Govindeśvarī Lakṣmī Devī Dāsī. It has been seventeen years since I have been involved in ISKCON. I feel like I have not spent enough of that time doing spiritual activities especially reading Śrīla Prabhupāda books and serving the devotees. Many times I have heard you say in classes and in lectures that how important Śrīla Prabhupāda books are and that we should read them. I thank you for this continues instruction on this as it has helped me to make to try and read more books. At the movement I have completed reading Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 1st canto and Bhagavad-gītā. I have also completed reading Śrīla Prabhupāda Līlāmṛta 1st volume which make me understand how much effort has Śrīla Prabhupāda have taken to print his books and also the effort and struggle he has taken to build up this movement International Society for Kṛṣṇa Consciousness. This book has really helped me build my relationship with Śrīla Prabhupāda and has made me become closer to him.
Guru Mahārāja, I need your blessings that I would keep reading the books daily and with your blessings I am preparing to get initiated soon.

I am always your servant and please always be my Spiritual Master.
 

Yours Insignificant Servant,
