Hare Krishna Dear Gurumaharaj,
Please accept my respectful obeisance to your lotus feet. All glories to Srila Prabhupad. All glories to your Divine Appearance Day! All Glories to you!
Gurumaharaj, because of your causeless mercy, I received your shelter after the Panihati Festival in Atlanta, USA on June 6th, 2017. While I considered myself pretty educated in spiritual knowledge before that, the more I understand Krishna Consciousness through senior devotees under your guidance, the more I realize how Foolish and Fallen I am. I now know that I’m not even worthy of having this knowledge, but just because of your mercy and compassion for the lowest of all souls, I can today understand my position.
It was a humbling experience for me to be in your association during your recent visit to Atlanta. The magnanimous amount of care and attention you show to all, irrespective of who they are, has made me strive harder to become ‘Worthy’ of your mercy. I realized the lack of qualifications I have, to be called a Vaishnava, and I need your blessing and prayers to become one, so I can serve you and Nitai-Gauranga.
Gurumaharaj, my son Veeraj, and my prabhu Vikrant also had an opportunity to take your Blessings when you came to Atlanta. My son is chanting 4-8 rounds every day and attends classes in the temple. Please Bless that both my husband and son understand the glories of Krishna Consciousness and take up the process sincerely and surrender to you, so we can all serve you as a family.
After seeing you in Atlanta, because of your Blessings, when I went to India in December, 2019 after more than 3 years, I told my parents, brothers and their family about Krishna Consciousness and Srila Prabhupad’s message, and now, 2 months into it, they all have not only turned Vegetarians, but have even stopped cooking with onion and garlic. They are chanting 7-13 rounds of mahamantra every day, reading Bhagwad Gita as it is, and started going to the temple. Please Bless that they grow in Krishna Consciousness, surrender to you and become pure devotees. All Glories to you Gurumaharaj, please accept my respectful obeisance.
Your most fallen Servant,
