Param Pujya Gurudeva,
Please accept my respectful obeisances.
All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda. All glories to you on the auspicious occasion of your Vyāsa-pūjā.
First of all I would like to thank their Lordships.,Rādhā Mādhava, Jagannātha,Baladeva and Subhadrā devi, Narsimhadeva and Śrī Śrī Pancatattva for protecting you so nicely Guru Mahārāja. It is so inspiring to see you and the energy you have. By Kṛṣṇa's mercy I had the fortune to have your Darshan in Chennai during my Shelter and also in Śrīdhāma Māyāpur during the Pancatattva Maha Abhishek. Hoping to get more such Darshans of you Guru Mahārāja.
I was going through my letters from the previous years and seeing that my spiritual relationship with you is evolving each year, that is from aspiring to Shelter and hopefully by your mercy I can soon take initiation from you Guru Mahārāja. I have been handling 2 children's program as of now and trying to improve myself with each class, so that the parents can get inspired by their children and join our movement. Also, I follow up with the youth girls of our area. I seek your blessings so that I can preach in whatever little way possible by overcoming any hurdles that come my way and become dear to you and Śrīla Prabhupada.
The start to this year has been blissful Guru Mahārāja because I got your Shelter and also got to visit Śrī Māyāpur dhāma and witness the Pancatattva Maha abhishek. But this year so far is also proving to be a difficult time for me as there are a few challenging situations that i'm facing due to my own faults, requesting you to please pray for me and bless me so that I get the intelligence of dealing with Vaishnavas and overcome these situations as soon as possible and engage in the service of Guru and Gaurāṅga more blissfully. Please bless me Guru Mahārāja so that I can serve you in whatever insignificant way that I can. And that I overcome any obstacles that I face in my studies or in spiritual life and continue to be Kṛṣṇa conscious. Also, please bless me so that I don't commit any offenses to devotees and that I always have a humble serving attitude.
Lastly I would like to say that, my mom(Ishani Rukmini Devi Dasi) ,dad(Ishwara Parama Kṛṣṇa Dasa) and I have a desire that one day our whole family can together serve Guru and Gaurāṅga and therefore, I request you to please bless my elder brother(Suraj) and also pray for him. As he is not involved in Kṛṣṇa Consciousness much but he is supportive of us following the process. So, please bless all of us Guru Mahārāja, for it is by your mercy that fallen souls like us can be uplifted.
Thank you Guru Mahārāja!
