Dearest Guru Mahārāja!
Please accept our respectful obeisances at your lotus feet!
All Glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda!
It has been another year of ups and downs with your health dear Gurudeva! We are trying to focus on our sādhanās and do them properly including circumambulating Tulasī Mahārānī four times for you every day and chanting more rounds as well. We continue to pray to Śrīla Prabhupāda and the guru-paramparā to give you good health so that you can fulfill Śrīla Prabhupāda’s desire to see the TOVP opened, for which you are tirelessly working.
I am ever so thankful to you for giving, me the mercy of continuing to transcribe your classes and lectures. This is my only service to you and I hope and pray that I will be able to do this as long as you grant me this mercy. This is very dear to my heart as it keeps me in touch with your vāṇī all the time.
My husband, Bhakta Vijay, is aspiring from you for the past two years. He is chanting two rounds or sometimes a few more every day.
Our daughter Mādhavī Gopī is your sheltered disciple. And she is doing Bhakti-śāstrī currently in Canada. Her husband Aman, is very supportive in Kṛṣṇa consciousness but only chants the Hare Kṛṣṇa mahā-mantra off and on. He helped build the altar at home.
We know that you are praying for all of us every day and we are so fortunate to be under your loving shelter dear Guru Mahārāja! We love you very much dear Guru Mahārāja!
Your insignificant spiritual children,
Jayarāseśvarī Devī Dāsī (dīkṣā)
Bhakta Vijay (aspiring)
