Param Pujya Gurudeva,
Please accept my respectful obeisances.
All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda. All glories to you on the auspicious occasion.
This is my first offering to you Gurudeva and I don't know where to start.I don't have any qualification to glorify you Gurudev. By your mercy we have learnt the real purpose of our lives. After hearing pastimes about you from senior devotees I have developed so much respect for you Gurudev.
We have been in Kṛṣṇa Consciousness for 3 years and these 3 years have changed my life. My daughter(Muskan who is 17 years old) had lost faith in God but now by your mercy she is chanting and reading Śrīla Prabhupad's books regularly and we both follow the 4 regulative principles. My husband is chanting as well but he has not developed much taste and I request you to please bless him, so that our family can grow together nicely in Kṛṣṇa Consciousness and serve Guru and Gaurāṅga eternally.So, please bless us Gurudeva to always be engaged in your service in the association of devotees.
Thank you Guru Mahārāja for everything!
Your insignificant servant,
Rādhā
