My Dear Guru Mahārāja,
Koṭi Koṭi Praṇāmas
nama oṁ viṣṇu-pādāya kṛṣṇa-preṣṭhāya bhū-tale
śrīmate jayapatāka svāmin iti nāmine
nama ācaryapādāya nitāi-kṛpā-pradāyine
gaura-kathā-dhāma-dāya nagara-grāma-tāriṇe
nama oṁ viṣṇu-pādāya kṛṣṇa-preṣṭhāya bhū-tale
śrīmate bhaktivedānta-svāminn iti nāmine
namas te sārasvate deve gaura-vāṇī-pracāriṇe
nirviśeṣa-śūnyavādi-pāścātya-deśa-tāriṇe
mūkaṁ karoti vācālaṁ paṅguṁ laṅghayate girim
yat-kṛpā tam ahaṁ vande śrī-guruṁ dīna-tāraṇam
Please accept my respectful humble obeisance unto your lotus feet. All glories to you!
You are the ocean of Mercy. By your blessings only, I am able to write this.
I was in a confusion last year whether to take aspiring before I start my college or should I take it after some years. But then, all of a sudden, one day I felt, I should first take your aspiration before leaving my parents. This would give me the strength to continue my spiritual journey wherever I stay.
With your Mercy, I am able to cope up a little with both my spiritual life and material studies. Along with this, I also have the responsibility of my grandparents too. I need more strength to keep them happy and serve them well. I am happy that my mother and brother will also join me soon.
I am fortunate to get you as my Spiritual Master. I am confident that I will be able to go out of this cycle of birth and death and serve the Supreme Lord by following your isntructions, chanting, hearing your lectures and taking your darśan.
From your mercy and support from your office, I got few references to continue my spiritual journey in Mysore. So now I am attending the Mysore congregation. I am happy that I also got a chance to render few services there.
Guru Mahārāja, please show your mercy upon me and give me the intelligence to proceed further in my spiritual level and meditate on your words.
Desiring to be your eternal servant always.
Your loving grandson
