Hare Krishna Guru Maharaj
Please accept our respectful obeisances unto your divine lotus feet.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada and all glories to you!
In the material world, after transmigrating in millions of species of life, a living entity rarely gets an opportunity to be born as a human being. Upon having this human body it is still rare to get the shelter of a bonafide spiritual master. We can't fathom our good fortune that you have mercifully given shelter at your lotus feet to fallen conditioned souls like us who are unqualified in every respect. Your standards of following the instructions of Srila Prabhupada and your daily efforts to expand Lord Chaitanya's Sankirtana movement is inconceivable to our tiny brains just like how the Atlantic ocean is inconceivable for a frog in a well.
mūkaṁ karoti vācālaṁ
paṅguṁ laṅghayate girim
yat-kṛpā tam ahaṁ vande
śrī-guruṁ dīna-tāraṇam
"By the mercy of the guru, even a dumb man can become the greatest orator, and even a lame man can cross mountains. As advised by Lord Brahmā, one should remember this śāstric injunction if one desires success in his life."
By your mercy, we have taught Gita Gyan Level 1 course conducted by ISKCON Seshadripuram. This is an online course delivered on the Zoom platform to teach the essence of Bhagavad Gita to new members who are interested to learn the teachings of Gita. We are now teaching Gita Gyan Level 2 course. By your merciful blessings, many participants are regularly attending the weekly sessions. Around 12 participants have committed to chant at least 1 round of Hare Krishna Mahamantra. The participants are feeling blissful in attending these sessions and they tell us how this course is making a difference in their lives. One participant told us that her perspective about God completely changed after attending the sessions. The participants are starting to appreciate who the Supreme Personality of Godhead is, what their relationship with him is, and how they can serve him in loving devotional service. We call the course participants regularly to find out how they are progressing in their spiritual life and we encourage them to chant Hare Krishna Maha Mantra.
We regularly read Bhagavad Gita for preparing for the classes and we come across the shlokas about pure devotees who are fixed up in devotional service without wavering despite external conditions. To practically understand the position of these men of steady intelligence as described by the Supreme Personality of Godhead, we think of you, and the verses become crystal clear to us. Because we can practically see how you are living the principles of Bhagavad Gita and setting an example for us to follow your footsteps.
By your causeless mercy, you have bestowed upon all of us, the service of sponsoring books written by Srila Prabhupada, by donating to the virtual table which is managed by your servants. We are regularly sponsoring Bhagavad Gita and Srimad Bhagavatham sets in the virtual table and enjoying great bliss in this service.
We are associated with ISKCON Seshadripuram yatra. We have recently moved to Hyderabad to our parent's house. By your mercy, my mother has started reading Srila Prabhupada books. She has completed reading Bhagavad Gita as it is once, and currently, she is reading Srimad Bhagavatham with great enthusiasm. Kindly bless my mother, my father, my son and my sister, that they progress in devotional service and regularly chant Hare Krishna Maha Mantra.
By your causeless mercy, we are regularly rising early, doing Mangala arati and chanting 16 rounds of Hare Krishna Mahamantra. Kindly bless us that our anarthas which are impeding our progress in devotional service are removed. Kindly bless us that we become purified quickly and progress and get pure devotional service and ultimately reach the supreme abode of Lord Krishna. Kindly bless us that we are able to continue our services without any interruption. Kindly bless that we become more sincere and fixed up in serving you and Srila Prabhupada. We are currently your sheltered disciples. We beg you to kindly give initiate us and give us an opportunity to serve you and the Guru Parampara.
Your sheltered disciples,
