Dear Guru Maharaj,
Please accept my humble obeisances unto your divine lotus feet.
All glories to Sri Sri Guru and Gauranga!
All glories to Srila Prabhupada!
Dear Gurudeva,
I have been associated with the ISKCON Bangalore - New Rajapur Jagannatha Dham temple for about 10 years. I live in a far location from temple. For big festivals, I come and attend the programs in the temple. With the mercy and blessings of Guru and Gauranga, and with the mercy and support of devotees, I started preaching in my place and conducting children programs. I strongly desire to do more and more preaching.
I have no qualifications to visit Mayapur Dham. It is because of your mercy and blessings only I could visit the Mayapur Dham. After my first visit, I have developed more interest and desire to visit Mayapur Dham again for the second time. But due to challenges, I was not getting permission from my family to visit Mayapur Dham again. Then I prayed to your holiness to please convey Lord Krishna that I could make a visit to Mayapur Dham again. Then my family gave me permission. Guru Maharaj, it is just because of your mercy and blessings only I could visit Mayapur Dham again for the second time.
I was not able to do fasting on Ekadasi days. Following the Bheshma Panchaka vrata is much more difficult for me. In those situations, I pray to you Guru Maharaj. With your mercy and blessings only I could gather strength and able to do fasting on Ekadasi days, and easily able to perform Bheshma Panchaka vratas and I could be able to follow fasting on Vaishnava Acharya festivals. I seek your mercy and blessings for all my members also for following these vratas.
I want to do more and more book reading. I desire to learn and know more and more. I want to progress more and more in spiritual path. I humbly seek your mercy and blessings for that.
I strongly desire that my prabhu Mayura, my two sons Bharat and Manoj take up the Krishna Consciousness process seriously, and to follow Ekadasi vratas, and to follow the rules and regulations of devotional service properly and to always be engaged in the service of Guru and Gauranga in the association of devotees. I humbly seek your mercy and blessings upon all of them for this to happen. I humbly seek your mercy and blessings for my members for their advancement in their spiritual life.
I humbly seek your mercy and blessings so that I can always be engaged in the service of Guru and Gauranga in the association of devotees, do more and more preaching, more and more children programs and for my advancement in spiritual life.
Guru Maharaj, your mercy and blessings alone can make this to happen for us.
Your Humble and Insignificant Servant,
