Hare Kṛṣṇa Dear Gurumaharaj,
Please accept my respectful obeisances unto the dust of your lotus feet and wishing you a very Happy 72nd Vyasa Puja day celebrations.
Thank you for giving me the intelligence to write my first Vyasa Puja offering Gurumaharaj. On the auspicious day of Nityanda Triyodasi, Lord Nityananda showed me my path by blessing with your pranam mantra. From that day I have been praying at least to have your darshan in my dreams. It's a great blessing for me that you directly visited our home through Zoom on April 28, 2020. I want to express my gratitude towards your lotus feet Gurumaharaj for accepting me as your aspiring disciple at the very first darshan in Zoom session. For my altar I got a picture of Radha Kṛṣṇa Chandra from Bangalore temple and then later on I got the pictures of Radha Kṛṣṇa Chandra from Guntur temple, both are installed by you Gurumaharaj. I realized that Kṛṣṇa Chandra showed you as my spiritual master.
Last year was pretty tough for me Gurumaharaj, although I was praying to Kṛṣṇa I was unable to understand what was happening around me and not in a state to accept the situations. But after my aspiring I am able to accept the situations, I was so inspired by learning about your journey and the way you accept everything as Kṛṣṇa’s plan and never give up. You are a living example we can witness in our lifetime, No matter whatever the situation we need to do our duty and depend on Kṛṣṇa.
On June 24, 2020 you appeared in my dream and instructed to preach for 15 members Gurumaharaj, I am constantly meditating on that instruction and praying you to please give me the intelligence to fulfill your instruction. I thought of writing an email to ask for blessings that am I really qualified to carry out this instruction. But by your causeless mercy you blessed me with the association of HG Ananda Jagannath Das, a disciple of His Holiness Radhanath Swami Maharaj in my place (Des Moines, Iowa, USA). I am getting trained to do preaching and thank you for your causeless reciprocation Gurumaharaj.
Gurumaharaj you are a revolutionary in our life’s, you are teaching us how to be strong and balanced in tough times in life.When His Holiness Bhakti Caru Swami Maharaj left us, the way you have taken care the disciples, it is really amazing that you really acted as head of the family Gurumaharaj. When you got COVID, you never miss an Caitanya Lila class even though when you are coughing you still have given the class, your determination to serve Prabhupada and spread Mahaprabhu movement is indescribable, I pray to Radha Kṛṣṇa Chandra to give me that kind of determination in my preaching.
Last year, you use every single opportunity to reach us and involve us more in Kṛṣṇa consciousness, e-Ratha Yatra, Zoom visits, JSSS, Navadvipa Parikrama, Gaura Purnima Kirtan Mela, Spiritual Safari and most importantly Jayapataka Swami app. whenever I feel low you always send a message through the app Gurumaharaj, it is like you always sit next to me and guide me in situations. It’s impossible to think for an ordinary person to implement all those Gurumaharaj, yet you always keep yourself humble. I always remember one line you mentioned Gurumaharaj, “Before you become Kṛṣṇa consciousness you should become Human”. In Kali Yuga people are missing that simple logic, you always make us feel that Kṛṣṇa consciousness is very simple and blissful. Thank you so much for enlightening our lives Gurumaharaj.
I pray to Sri Radha Kṛṣṇa Chandra to protect you and want to see you dance in the TOVP opening Gurumaharaj. If it so pleases you please protect my consciousness always at your lotus feet and give me the strength to advance more in my spiritual journey. And I beg for your mercy so that soon you will accept me as your spiritual daughter Gurumaharaj.
Please forgive me if I offended you in any way while glorifying your name or movement Gurumaharaj.
All glories to your Holiness
All glories to Srila Prabhupada
Yours insignificant aspiring disciple
Sravanthi
