Dear Guru Mahārāja,
Please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet. All glories to you on this auspicious day of your Vyāsa-pūjā.
I am so fortunate to have you as my spiritual father, and for you to accept me as your disciple. Before I was not able to chant properly. Due to your constant reminders and sweet mercy, I have improved my level of chanting and service.
You have kindly blessed me with immense mercy that my spiritual life has actually taken shape and a path. My heart pained when I saw you suffering in the hospital recently when you underwent transplantation. I pray to Lord Narasiṁhadev to give you protection in all circumstances.
With your mercy, my husband and I have started Bhakti-vṛkṣa class in our house. Please bless us to carry out this seva successfully and with great responsibility.
I always pray to Lord Kṛṣṇa and Śrīla Prabhupāda to keep you in good health so that you can continuously spread the message of Godhead to innumerable fallen souls like me.
Long live Guru Mahārāj!
Your servant,
Puṣpa Mukhi Śacī devī dāsī
