Namah acharyapadaya nitai krpa pradhayine
Gaurakatha dhama dhaya nagara grama tarine
nama oṁ viṣṇu-pādāya kṛṣṇa-preṣṭhāya bhū-tale
śrīmate bhaktivedānta-svāminn iti nāmine
namas te sārasvate deve gaura-vāṇī-pracāriṇe

Hare krsna dear Gurumaharaj,
Happy Vyasa Puja!
Please accept my respectful obeisances.
Today, on the auspicious occasion of your Vyasa Puja, please bless and pray for me so that I can do more seva, perform more devotional service, and preach. Currently I am aspiring and I chant eight rounds, and I was chanting 10 rounds before but decreased the amount due to inconsistency. I hope and pray that I can ramp it up and slowly but surely get to 16 rounds.
Also, literally the only devotional service I do is chanting and little deity worship/seva. I need your blessings to start reading books, do seva, and lose this laziness that has overpowered me. I am one worthless disciple and all my bad karma comes to you, and it breaks my heart to see that fallen souls like me get bad karma transferred to you, when in reality you are a pure representative of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu while I am someone who doesn't deserve to get the nectar drops of your mercy.
Zoom classes give an advantage for your disciples around the world, because now you individually interact with and bless 200-300 disciples everyday. Even with varying health conditions, meetings, etc, you somehow find time for every single one of us. Though I am envious and think it's unfair when other people get second time blessings, third time blessings, I realize it's because they are great vaisnavas and I am not. Please bless me so that I can also engage myself in the service of Guru and Gauranga and become a devotee.
Once again, Happy Divine Vyasa Puja!
Your aspiring servant,
Haripriya (11 years, daughter of Amani Gauracandra Das and Susevini Gurugauranga Devi Dasi & sister of Dhanya)
