Dear Guru Maharaj,
Please accept my respected obeisance’s, All glories to Srila Prabhupad! All glories to your Divine Grace!
All glories to your compassion on the fallen souls like us! All glories to your magnanimity in accepting and tolerating unworthy souls like me. Gurudeva! you are the ocean of all the Vaishnava qualities, “If you examine me, you will find no qualities. Your mercy is all that I am made of. If you are not merciful unto me, I can only weep, and I will not be able to maintain my life.” You are the living example of Guru Bhakti and your dedication and surrender to Srila Prabhupad is beyond my conception and understanding, wish to get a drop of that Guru Bhakti to serve you sincerely, so myself, son-Saranga and prabhu become your sincere servants.
I have just seen in Cc. adi-lila1.45 "guru kṛṣṇa-rūpa hana śāstrera pramāṇe guru-rūpe kṛṣṇa kṛpā karena bhakta-gaṇe — According to the deliberate opinion of all revealed scriptures, the spiritual master is non-different from Kṛṣṇa. Lord Kṛṣṇa in the form of the spiritual master delivers His devotees"
Gurudeva, I sincerely pray that, I deeply realize the above read lines and learn to be grateful to your divine grace by meditating on the things that you have done to me and my family.
You have been inspiring us every day and moment to do more service and do more preaching. Please bless that myself, my husband- Bhakta Praveen prabhu, son Bhakta Saranga, my parents Bhakta Damodaran prabhu and Bhaktin Gajalakshmi mj, my brother’s family - Vraja Vinoda Damodara prabhu and Rasajna Radharani mj, Bhaktin Pavithra and Bhaktin Haripriya to chant 16 rounds daily without offenses and follow regulative principles very sincerely and always remain under the shelter of your divine lotus feet.
whatever I am today is only due to your mercy, whatever tiny service I am able to do today is only with your blessings, I sincerely pray that I, should be able to serve your Divine Grace and Srila Prabhupad sincerely and make my near and dear Krishna conscious. Please bless my colleagues and their families, who have just started chanting. please bless the students and parents of Jegannath patta shala, Canberra to start chanting and become favourable to ISKCON.
kindly bless me and my family with association of sincere and serious devotees, who can bring us closer to your lotus feet. I am incapable of training Saranga in chanting regularly with focus, and purely dependent on your mercy to make him a devotee. Even though iam unqualified, I have a very deep desire to get Saranga's Aksharabhyasam from your Divine Grace, if you so desire, kindly show your causeless mercy and grant us the opportunity to meet and get from you soon dear Gurudev! Iam trying hard, not to nag and annoy my husband, Please bless me with all the Vaishnava qualities needed to make my family members devotees. Please kindly use this lowly servant as your instrument to make Saranga and Prabhu as devotees, I really have no other hope than your causeless mercy, dear Gurudev!
Begging your mercy,
Your lowly servant,
Vidya Svarupini Radha Devi Dasi
