Hare Kṛṣṇa dear Guru Mahārāja,
Please accept my respectful obeisances.
All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda!
All glories to you! Wish you a very happy 73rd Vyāsa-pūjā!!
May Rādhā Mādhava always protect you and may we celebrate this festival with you for many many years. I am so fortunate to get shelter at your lotus feet. Guru Mahārāja, by your blessings this past year has been full of realizations and new spiritual experiences for me. I always feel your unconditional love and mercy on me and my family. Keeping you at the center of my life I try to spend my day with bliss and peace. By your mercy I am finishing the third canto of Śrīmad-bhāgavatam this week. I really enjoy these scriptures, and I know this is all happening because of your mercy.
Not only for me, or your disciples, but also for the whole of mankind you have showered your mercy through your lectures, darśans, and live internet broadcasts. I always enjoy your sense of humor. Recently in the hospital in Chennai you won everybody's heart by your compassionate nature. Wherever you go there is always a big celebration, a big festival.
I am so thankful to Kṛṣṇa for sending you as a spiritual master, as a caring father, as a savior in my life. Love you Guru Mahārāja!! I have never met a compassionate soul like you in my life before. May you always stay blessed.
On this auspicious day of your Vyāsa-pūjā, I pray to remain a speck of dust at your lotus feet. Wishing you the most wonderful Vyāsa-pūjā celebration!
Your spiritual daughter
