HARE KRISHNA!
Dear Guru Mahārāja
All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda!
All glories to you dear Guru Mahārāja!
We offer our most respectful and humble daṇḍavat prāṇāṁs at the dust of your lotus feet. All glories to Jagad-Guru, Śrīla Prabhupāda and all glories to Your loving Divine Grace.
We are Balarāma Sakhā dāsa, Śrīprada Padmā devī dāsī and Bhaktin Jayantika from Ruwais. We are staying 250Kms away from Avatārīdeśa. Moreover, we are congressional with Avatārīdeśa.
We are very insignificant to Glorify your glories.
We wish you a 71st very happy vyāsa-pūjā and pray to Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī for many happy returns of this auspicious day. Guru Mahārāja, this past year has been full of realizations and new spiritual experiences by your blessings. Keeping you at the centre of my life, each day I can feel how your causeless mercy flows unconditionally in the upkeep of my devotional service. Lord Kṛṣṇa mercifully sent you as my master and saviour, that first darśana of Your Divine Grace is still afresh to my vision. Hari bol!
You are so merciful that you have given me this opportunity of devotional service. You give me so much of your time, guidance and
care, always making sure that I understand and always giving me so much more that I give you.Thankyou Gurudeva for picking me up and showing me there is something higher than temporary material so-called pleasure.
I am forever in your debt Guru Mahārāja! You are such an expert preacher Guru Mahārāja, each time I hear you speak I am amazed at how you are able to say exactly what I need to hear.I remember your instructionsto me every day, they are my inspiration.
In 2012, we moved from Avatārīdeśa to Ruwais. As per the guidance of His Grace Bahurūpa Narasiṁha Prabhu and His Grace Siddha Gauranga Prabhu, in 2013 we started Children classes with six children and did DA program and did small programs during Janmāṣṭamī and Rama Navamī . During Dāmodara month, in 2014, we covered 20 houses and in 2015, we had opportunity to cover 45 houses around 150 Souls.
In 2015 during Dāmodara month we got our 1st Inition in Dāmodaradeśh. In 2015, we started Bhakti-vṛkṣa classes for Adults. Only five devotees regularly attended the program.
In 2018, during our Ahobilam trip, which was arranged by His Grace Jagat Sākṣi Prabhu we had the opportunity to meet you in Chennai. That time we seek your blessings for Ruwais Concretion.
After your blessings, now we saw lot of improvement, Last one year around 25 new children coming for children class as total 48 children. In addition, we are conducting four batches of Bhakti-vṛkṣa classes, where we are taking Bhagavad-gītā ślokas and explanations. We distributed 50 Bhagavad-gītā books, 3 sets of Bhāgavatam and 10 numbers of first canto only, 20 small books. All our group members started to do chanting daily and read Bhagavad-gītā. My children class childrens are chanting regularly.
With all your blessing we are engaging them in all the celebrations:
1. Janmāṣṭamī festival
2. Dāmodara month meet with all children and parent
3. Tulasī Vivāha
4. Kīrtana with Avatārīdeśa devotees.
5. Gaura Pūrṇimā
6. Rāma Navamī Festival

Last year we kept Kīrtana-melā for Ruwais devotees. So we invited Avatārīdeśa senior devotees and Kīrtaniyas His Grace Śivanātha Prabhujī. Hari Bol! Every new devotees enjoyed lot. They felt blissful and overjoyed. ALL BECAUSE FOR YOUR MERCY GURU MAHĀRĀJA. Guru MahārājA ki Jaya.
On this auspicious day, I pray to remain a speck of dust at your lotus feet, O my beloved Guru Mahārāja. Wishing you the most wonderful vyāsa-pūjā celebration again and again and hope that some day, we will be in your personal association to celebrate this day and directly get the nectar of your association. We are begging your mercy and blessing for we are also in part of your mission to accomplish Śrīla Prabhupāda's mission. Please empower us to do all the devotional service with determination and enthusiatiic like YOU Guru Mahārāja. Hari Bol.
