Dearest gurumaharaj,
Please accept my respectful obeisances at the dust of your lotus feet. All glories to your auspicious appearance day. All glories to your divine grace.
This insignificant me seeks your blessings to express my deepest gratitude to you on this auspicious day.
Dear gurumaharaj by your mercy my krishna conscious journey began few years back under the guidance of your dear disciples HG Caitanya Avatari prabhu and HG Rasamayi mataji.
On 28th September 2019 you made your wonderful visit to Bangalore. I feel the most fortunate and blessed to be able to have your darshan for two consecutive days. It was on this day when I called out to you with love and you immediately reciprocated with love by waving your hands to me. I remember tears pouring down my eyes and washing away the dirt and lust within my heart just by the seconds of your merciful glance. Oh, how much I really wish to experience and relish this love from you gurumaharaj always, but I am so foolish that even after this wonderful experience I still fall back to maya over and over again.. O Gurumaharaj ur so powerful...That day I also got the opportunity of being of some use in your service by distributing books for your pleasure. You are always determined to preach to everyone and despite all the health challenges you face you still don't miss giving your association anytime. You are so inspiring and energetic.
My mentors say that you have made available the boat of Chaitanya prema to everyone and so I sincerely pray that I soon surrender unto your lotus feet, catch hold of it and never let it go, and sail over this material ocean blissfully.
I intensely desire to reside in association of our wonderful ISKCON NRJD family and nourish my sadhana in the spiritual capital of world Sri Mayapur dham by immersing myself in the glories of Lord Gaurahari and Nityananda prabhu.
Thank you so much for the Bhakti Vriksha program Gurumaharaj. With the help of our shiksha guru and mentors I am slowly trying to understand the krishna consciousness philosophy and it's mission through Bhakti vriksha. Please give me the strength so that I engage in your service and senior vaishnavas with utmost love and dedication. And always remain a humble servant to all devotees. Help me develop the taste for chanting and serving the pure devotees and follow in their footsteps.
I sincerely pray for your good health to Lord narasimhadeva. Please bless my family (aspiring) parents, two sisters and younger brother to take up this process seriously and remain humble in our services(including me). Forgive me for my innumerable offences that I have committed due to my ignorance and my anarthas.
JAYA GURUDEVA, JAYA GURUDEVA, PATITA PAVANA GURUDEVA...!
Always desring to be in your service,
Monika priya (Aspiring)
