Dear Gurudeva,
You are so merciful. Every day when I pray to you, out of your causeless mercy, I could see you in front of my eyes. That gives me inspiration and spiritual energy. I am very fortunate to be your disciple though I am not even qualified for that. When you are going through the challenges physically and health wise.. whenever I think about that, tears roll down my eyes. It is painful for me. I pray to Lord Krishna for your good health.
Guru Maharaj, out of your causeless mercy, your holiness accepted me as your disciple. You showed me spiritual way and showed how to practice Krishna Consciousness process. Otherwise, I would have been suffering in this material world with lot of miseries. Because of your causeless mercy, I got the blissful spiritual way.
When I came to Mayapur during the February month of this year, I do not know anything, but, I was feeling sort of some pain being with a doubtful mind whether can I get your Darshan or not. By your mercy, I took your Darshan and I am very happy at that moment.
Guru Maharaj, it is not enough how much ever I may glorify you. It is not enough how many ever letters I may write to you in front of your causeless mercy. Your holiness accepted so many fallen conditioned souls as your disciples. Your holiness showed spiritual way for so many fallen conditioned souls. You told us how do devotional service to Lord. The sufferings in material life will just vanish as soon as we get the mercy of the dust from your lotus feet.
My prabhu, Dorai Raju prabhu, every day he wakes up at 3am, he is chanting 16 rounds, does Go Shala seva and takes care of cows for the temple. He is inclined to do service given by devotees. I desire that both of use serve you. I strongly desire for him to immediately surrender at your lotus feet and take Diksha from you Guru Maharaj. I humbly seek your mercy and blessings upon him for this to happen.
I strongly desire for my sons and their family members, Tejeswar and my grand daughter Danika to take up Krishna Conscious process and always be engaged in the service of Guru and Gauranga in the association of devotees, and to take shelter at your Lotus feet. I humbly seek your mercy and blessings upon all of them for this to happen.
I humbly seek your mercy and blessings so that I can continue to serve you eternally at your lotus feet without forgetting your holiness, to be always in the association of devotees, for attentively chanting, for regular book reading, for doing more and more preaching activities and for helping ISKCON organization and our New Rajapur Jagannatha Dham yatra.
Guru Maharaj, your mercy and blessings alone can make this to happen for us.
Your Humble and Insignificant Servant,
