Dear Guru Maharaj,
Please accept my humble obeisances unto your divine lotus feet, a billion billon times.
All glories to Sri Sri Guru and Gauranga!
All glories to Srila Prabhupada!
Dear Gurudeva,
Today, one of your senior disciple reminded us to write an offering letter to you. Actually, they have informed 15 days back to write it. Every day I was thinking to write offering letter to you. But, I have no qualifications and no strength to write it. I am so fallen, I have no courage to write it. I have the fear of making mistakes in writing the letter to you.
It has been 10 months since I have been associated with the ISKCON Bangalore - New Rajapur Jagannatha Dham temple. Senior devotees are taking the classes and I am attending them. Everyone asks questions and seek clarifications about their problems. But, I do not have courage to ask questions.
Today one senior devotee said - you can write the letter. So I somehow took courage to write this letter to you, or otherwise is it only your mercy that could I write letter to you.
Gurudev, only one light I could see. This temple (and devotees association) or your mercy... Otherwise, no hope for me. Gurudev, want to write letter to you.. but I could not take courage.. I do not have any qualities and qualifications to write the letter to you..
gurudev! kripa-bindu diya, koro’ ei dase, trinapekha ati hina
sakala sahane, bala diya koro’, nija-mane spriha-hina ....
I desire merciful glance from you, a ray of hope for me. I humbly seek your mercy and blessings so that I can continue to serve you eternally at your lotus feet.
Your Humble and Insignificant Servant,
Leela (Aspiring)
