Dear Guru Mahārāja,
Please accept our respectful obeisances,
All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda,
All glories unto your lotus feet,
How fortunate are we, having got all the opportunities to serve you when you were in Chennai, in spite of we being not eligible for that. It is all because of your causeless mercy.
By your mercy and under the guidance of His Grace Caitanya Avatari prabhu and His Grace Rasamayi mātājī we are trying to engage ourselves in preaching and other devotional services. They have been very tolerantly guiding us, though we have been inefficient in performing services, also by their mercy & under the guidance of His Grace Sadasivananda prabhu, we are also engaging ourselves in preaching activities in Tiruvallur (suburban town near Chennai). We usually go to Tiruvallur ISKCON center during the weekends for preaching & His Grace Rāma bhakta Hanumān prabhu & His Grace Rāma Bhakti mātājī have been very nicely taking care of day to day services in the centre. By your mercy, we now have around 40 people regularly attending Sunday classes & we're slowly trying to start Bhakti-vṛkṣa as well. Please shower your mercy on some of the new bhaktas who are attending our Sunday programme -> Rāma mūrti & his family, Devī & her family, Karpagam & her family, Mahendran & his family, Rajkumari & her family and all other members.
Gurudeva, by your causeless mercy, our daughter Kiśorī was born in 2016. We are trying to cultivate her with Kṛṣṇa Conscious practices & she's progressing nicely. She's also cooperating quite nicely in our devotional engagements. Please bless her for serving you more.
Gurudeva, please bless Śrīguru Sevanandi's mother, brother, his wife (who all are initiated from you) and his two children, so that they return back to the path of Kṛṣṇa consciousness and we all joyfully serve your lotus feet.
Your useless servants,
Gaurāṅga Prasāda dāsa,
rīguru Sevanandi devī dāsī,
Kishori,
Chennai
