My dear spiritual father,
Please accept my humble obeisances.
Dear Gurudeva,
It was really delighting to see you back at Śrī dhāma Māyāpur. Māyāpur dhāma is so merciful and 'Guru mahārāja at Māyāpur' means lots of mercy for all of us.
Guru Mahārāja, we are all inspired by your 'Never Give Up' attitude through your surgery and post surgery.
Your determination to preach even during such times to the hospital staff, nurses, doctors, other patients. You are so ready to preach to everyone and anywhere.
We have so much to learn from this.
Guru Mahārāja, by your grace and mercy, I have been trying to preach mostly ladies, young ladies, college going girls - trying to help them chant the holy name of Kṛṣṇa, to connect them to temple, to help them read Prabhapada books, to help them preach, distribute books, to involve in sevas to Kṛṣṇa.
Also, people we meet during book distribution, out reach programs, we keep in touch with them and preach and try to inspire them to take to Kṛṣṇa bhakti.
Guru Mahārāja, kindly please bless all of them that they practice bhakti to Kṛṣṇa, follow the regulative principles and get to taste the sweet nectar of Kṛṣṇa.
For this, I should be really well equipped with my sādhana, following of regulative principles. Please do bless me with strength to follow principles and do my sādhana properly and sincerely.
Last, but not the least, please do bless my family - my mother, brother, sister, my aunt, my uncle and their families to be inspired to perform Kṛṣṇa Bhakti. I have been trying to preach to them.
Please do bless my father who is no more with us and that he may be protected and be blessed by you and Kṛṣṇa to perform Kṛṣṇa bhakti wherever he maybe.
Lastly, please do forgive me for my mistakes, offenses I have been committing, I wish not to commit them.
Aspiring to be your eternal servitor,
