Dear Guru Maharaj,
Last year Jan 2020, we met You in Atlanta in Your 50th Sannyasa celebrations. Its been a year that we got a chance to meet You and our Siksha Gurus ( Amani Gaurachandra Das and Susevini Guru Gauranga Devi Dasi ) expressed our desire to beget a child. After your blessings, the next month we heard the great news. We understood that Jagannath and You by the causeless mercy have gifted us ( Arun Souri and Ramya) a very nice Vaishnavi (Chatura) to our family. Recently You have done her Anna Prasana Guru Maharaj.
Its so nice to see You daily in Zoom/ Youtube Guru Maharaj. I am so inspired by You and all the devotees who come daily for Your darshan.
Lessons learnt from our dear Gurumaharj :
1) Devotional Service without any interruptions :-
Whatever be the situation, You always find an opportunity to serve Krsna even when You get half a second. No health issues or situations can stop You from serving Krsna.
This tells me that I shouldn't find any reason to say for not doing the service and always do more devotional service.
2) Being so transparent :-
You are very great soul who is a representative of Krsna the Supreme Personality of Godhead, but still You share whatever service You are doing to Krsna through JayaPataka Swami app, inspiring everyone to do more devotional service. This tells me that I should be transparent to my senior devotees.
3) Leading a good example :-
You are so committed, and You still remember and follow the instructions of Srila Prabhupada, leading a very good example of how a devotee should be.
This tells me that I should follow Your instructions.
We, as a family should follow Krsna consciousness and be a good example to inspire many people in Your and Srila Prabhupada's mission.
On this auspicious occasion, I kindly request you to pray and bless us so that we get at least 0.01% of your dedication which would help us to climb up the spiritual ladder. My husband and myself are desiring to get very soon initiated from You Gurumaharaj by fulfilling all the criterias which is required for initiation. Kindly help us and be with us in doing our devotional service consistently without any obstacles.
Please bless us that we serve Jagannath, You and all the Vaishnavas.
Please mercifully forgive all the offenses I have committed to You and all the devotees.
Happy Vyasa Puja my dear spiritual father!!!!!
Yours Unqualified Sheltered daughter and grand daughter
R.Ramya and Chatura
