I am so blessed that became your disciple and I don’t know what pious activity I have done in my previous or current life. I am able to improve on my daily sadhana with your mercy. With your blessings and mercy only, I am able to understand lots of līlās of Bhagavān from Śrīmad-bhāgavatam and Bhagavat Gītā and tell to others.
I got this tiny enthusiasm in the preaching to glorify Bhagavān only due to your unlimited enthusiasm to glorify the Lord. I humbly request you to provide the blessings to get and understand more and more Vedic knowledge.
In this Covid pandemic situation also, we are able to get your darśana on Zoom and listen to your Nectarian lecture. We are able realize your love and enthusiasm towards Lord Kṛṣṇa. I am trying to glorify You more and more but I am not able to do. I think that I am not that much eligible. I would like to request you to bless me so that I will be able to get the knowledge about Absolute Truth.
In this pandemic situation, you are taking care of the devotees by asking about their health during the Zoom meetings. Even when you were affected by Covid, you kept on thinking about your disciples’ health conditions who were affected by Covid. In particular, when the devotees from your personal care team were affected, at that time, you were asking all devotees to pray for their speedy recovery.
You concentrate on Book distribution a lot and recently when Bhagavad-gītā was donated to South Africa, You were encouraging those who donated and we watched that program on Zoom also. With your mercy, I was able to encourage my new Bhakti-vṛkṣa members to distribute 4 sets of Śrīmad-bhāgavatam. Also, they came forward to donate and take participate in TOVP construction.
I am able to improve my book reading with your blessings. In parallel to Śrīmad-bhāgavatam, I have started reading Caitanya Caritāmṛta after listening to your Caitanya Bhāgavata lecture. I am also listening to His Grace Jagadānanda Prabhujī’s lecture regularly on Caitanya Caritāmṛta in Tamil and I am continuously reading now.
With your blessings only, I am able to take Bhakti-vṛkṣa class for the past 2 years. This gave me the confidence and faith to talk about the glories of Bhagavān to others and to bring them into Kṛṣṇa consciousness.
Every time, I take KKC class for children, I offer my humble obeisances to your lotus feet so that I can take class in English and tell them about the glories of Lord Kṛṣṇa and sing Vaiṣṇava songs.
Just like I asked all my requirements to my Father during my childhood, me along with my family will be always asking You our Spiritual Father, to bless us to get all our requirements and strength spiritually.
I will be always begging you for getting more and more mercy so that I can bring more and more souls to Kṛṣṇa consciousness and glorify Lord Kṛṣṇa forever.
Your Humble Servant,
Ananta-rūpiṇī Viṣṇupriyā devī dāsī
Kṛṣṇa-kathā deśa
