Harekrsna Dear GuruMaharaj,
Please accept my respectful humble obeisances unto your lotus feet. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
This is my first humble offering on your auspicious appearance day. I strongly believe that I got this opportunity by your divine grace and your dear disciples who reclaimed me from my fallen state and taught that surrender to Guru and Gauranga is the stepping-stone in spiritual progress.
I was practicing Krsna consciousness in BITS PILANI during 1997-2001 but I couldn’t maintain my sadhana while I was busily working as karmi and got married. After the departure of my father in 2017, somehow I came to my senses and started associating with devotees from ISKCON Whitefield (connected to Sri Narasimha Giridhari Mandir, Bangalore) and got the second chance. Over the years, I attended bhakti-vriksa with my family which helped me to steadily progress towards Srila Prabhupada Ashraya (16 rounds), completed bhakti-sastri course and finally taken shelter (written exam) of your lotus feet. In addition to temple services, I have been serving as bhakti-vriksa servant leader from May’2019. I’m forever greatly indebted to your lotus feet for inaugurating bhakti-vriksa to reclaim fallen souls like me.
Hearing your glories, I understand that you are an eternal associate of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu and appeared to preach & fulfill the mission of Srila Prabhupada. I felt blissful to read your app message that you had a darshan pastimes of Sri Nityananda Prabhu & Sri Advaita Acarya. Despite so many bodily health issues, your perseverance to carry out Srila Prabhupada instructions gives me great inspiration & faith to take complete shelter of your lotus feet. I humbly beg at your lotus feet to kindly accept me as your surrendered disciple and I hanker to serve your Holiness and become an instrumental servant in your fulfilling Srila Prabhupada’s instructions.
Finally, I beg to shower your mercy on my family members and bhakti-vriksa named ‘Gauranga’ members in empowering us to practice pure devotional service as exemplied by your life standards and become valuable contributors to Srila Prabhupada’s mission of spreading the teachings of Lord Chaitanya everywhere.
Your servant,
Krishna Mohan
