Nama om visnu-padaya krsna-presthaya bhu-tale
Srimate jayapataka-svamin iti namine
Namo acharya padaya nitai kripa pradhayine
Gaura katha damodaya nagara grama tharine
Nama om visnu-padaya krsna-presthaya bhu-tale
Srimate bhaktivedanta-svamin iti namine
Namas te sarasvate deve gaura-vani-pracarine
Nirvisesa -sunyavadi-pascatya-desa-tarine
Om agnana timirandasya gnana anjana salakaya
Caksur unmilitam ena tasmayi sree gurave namah
Jay Srila Gurudev, My Spiritual father,
Please Accept My Respectful Obeisances
All Glories to Srila Prabhupada
All Glories to your Divine Grace
I am your spiritual daughter Acyutapreyasi Tulasi devi dasi wife of Satyaraj Govinda das moved from Minneapolis, MN to Tallahassee, FL, USA in 2017 december.
We are under the resourceful guidance of HG Caitanya Avatari Das (NRJD, Bengaluru), HG Vaishnava Nitai Das(NRJD, Bengaluru) and personally mentored by HG Amani Gauracandra Das (Minneapolis) and HG Susevini Guru Gauranga Devi Dasi (Minneapolis) since 2014.
I love chanting and listening to lectures but as I am not a very literate person I am unable to read scriptures and understand the philosophy. Recently I started to read GAURANGA book written by Your Grace and loving it. I enjoy reading and listening to only pastimes of Gauranga, Jaganath, Nrsinga dev, your Grace, etc but philosophy a big No No. I wanted to serve Srila Prabhupada, your Grace in fulfilling my initiation vows to help you in spreading the holy name but due to poor knowledge I’m very much scared to preach. In 2016 you told to chant Mukam Karothi Vacalam sloka before preaching and I am reciting this sloka since then.
I am now assisting my husband in the following sevas like, Jagannath Paata Shaala (JPS) kids classes in teaching them bhagavad Gita slokas and vaishnava bhajans, cooking bhoga for the lord for all the gaudiya vaishanava festivals celebrated in our house throughout the year(15+ festivals in 2019), cooking for the bhakthi vriksha classes, attending online reading class conducted by HG. Susevini Guru Gauranga DD(Minneapolis) weekly 5 days and sharing that knowledge with my kids and my prabhu.
I am doing mangala arati weekdays only but missing on weekends which I wanted to improve and extend to all 7 days. I am trying my best to preach my kids first before I preach to public, so my son Krsna Caitanya (10 year old) is now chanting 8 rounds and 1 round for your health every day and he got aspiring from your Grace on his 10th birthday (28-Nov-2019) at Alachua, FL, USA, my daughter Jahnavi (5 year old) is chanting 10 -12 counts every day. Both my kids help us in Lord’s Abhishekam seva every week but are very playful while chanting and needs constant reminders to finish their chanting. I’m training my daughter in doing tulasi arati and guru pooja and every week day before she leaves to school at 9 am, she completes tulasi Arati and guru pooja.
My daughter Jahnavi and Krsna loves you very much and she always asks me “When our Guru Maharaj will come to our house”, we are praying that we preach more sincerely and make more devotees that you start visiting Tallahassee to initiate the devotees.
I know what I am doing is not enough to bring the kids in proper KC and keep myself involved in Lord’s service and please pray for me and bless me that I will sincerely involve myself and my family in Krsna consciousness throughout the day. Many times I loose patience in teaching the kids and please help me that I should give up my impatience and help the children with patience and compassion.
I always pray to Lord Narasinga Deva, Srila Prabhupada, Jaganath Baladev Subhadra , Sudharsana and Radha Madhav to keep you in good health so you can deliver thousands and thousands of poor souls like me.
Your humble servant
