All glories to Śrī Śrī Guru and Gaurāṅga!
All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda!
oṁ ajñāna-timirāndhasya jñānāñjana-śalākayā
cakṣur unmīlitaṁ yena tasmai śrī-gurave namaḥ
mukham karoti vacalam pangum langhayate girim
yat krpa tam aham vande śrī-gurum dina-taranam
Dear Gurudeva,
We have been struggling in this material world with so much of ignorance. Out of your causeless mercy, you have removed darkness and brought us into light of blissful spiritual life. I offer my obeisances to you, such a wonderful and magnanimous Guru with full devotion.
Gurudeva, I do not know what is Kṛṣṇa Consciousness. I do not know anything about a Guru. However, after coming to Kṛṣṇa Consciousness process, I realized so much of change in myself. Still I need to change a lot for my spiritual growth, which only can happen with your mercy and blessings. I strongly desire the same for all the members in my family to be engaged in your service with your mercy and blessings.
I strongly desire that my son Sudarshan takes up the Kṛṣṇa Consciousness process seriously. We have been facing lot of struggles and challenges with him. Gurudev, I humbly seek your mercy and blessings to change his mind so that he takes up the Kṛṣṇa Consciousness process seriously so that it helps us. I desire that he immediately surrender at your lotus feet. We have been searching for a suitable bride for my son. I desire that my son get a good Vaiṣṇavi devotee as his wife which helps for his spiritual advancement. Everyday, I have been praying to you on this. Gurudev, after reading this letter, I beg your mercy and blessings upon him for this to happen.
Out of your causeless mercy, my prabhu has received Diksha from you Guru Mahārāja. He still needs to change a lot. I beg your mercy and blessing upon him so that he changes a lot for his spiritual growth, and he grows more and more inclination towards devotional service and for doing more and more devotional service, and for serving Guru and Gaurāṅga.
I strongly desire for my daughter Madhu Malini, her husband Venkata Rami Reddy and their daughter Taniska Reddy that they also take up the Kṛṣṇa Consciousness process seriously. I feel they lag behind in the spiritual life at the current moment. With your mercy alone they can march forward immediately in spiritual life. I humbly seek your mercy and blessings upon all of them for this to happen.
Gurudev, you have helped so much for us. We could not help you anything. We do not have any qualifications. We do not have any strength. I humbly seek your mercy and blessings so that we can do more and more preaching. Because of your causeless mercy, we could take up the Kṛṣṇa Consciousness process and have the association of devotees. Gurudev, please forgive us if any mistakes and offences we have done knowingly and unknowingly.
I humbly seek your mercy and blessings so that I can continue to serve you eternally at your lotus feet, to be in your association and in the association of devotees, for attentively chanting, for regular book reading, for doing more and more preaching activities and for helping ISKCON organization and our New Rājāpur Jagannātha dhāma yātrā.
Guru Mahārāja, your mercy and blessings alone can make this to happen for us.
Your Humble and Insignificant Servant,
