My Dear Guru Mahārāja,
Please accept my humble obeisances at Your Lotus feet!
All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda,“All glories to Your auspicious 70th appearance day”
nama oṁ viṣṇu-pādāya kṛṣṇa-preṣṭhāya bhū-tale śrīmate jayapatākā-svāmin iti nāmine
namo ācāryapādāya nitāi-kṛpa-pradāyine gaura-kathā dhāma dāya nagara-grāma tāriṇe
I am not qualified to even seek your blessings, but you are the most merciful and I have come to you. Please, please bless me so that I will always be attached to the lotus feet of the Supreme Lord, the Holy Name and the devotees. I feel extremely ashamed how I still do not have any taste for the holy name and fallen into the material waters again and again, shamelessly but by your mercy and uncountable blessings I have able to try again and again to remember the Lord and his magnanimous glories. It is only because of your blessings I have been able to stay in the right path, stay strong and remember the purpose of my life. It is also by your blessings that I am successful with my dharma as a student academically in the field of Art and Design, while learning to balance my spiritual life. Through my education in Graphic Design, I will be a part of your spiritual master, Śrīla Prabhupāda’s mission by using my talent of design. Please bless me abundantly to achieve this because it is my only deep desire to please Vaishnavas and go back to our Lord Kṛṣṇa, because by your will, anything can happen miraculously.
Your spiritual great-grand daughter,
