Respected Guru Mahārāja!

Please accept our respectful obeisance’s unto Your Divine Grace. All glories to Your Divine Grace and to Śrīla Prabhupāda.

Today we were reading the 13th chapter of Bhagavad-gītā in which Śrīla Prabhupāda was giving an analogy that air is in water, fire, sky and everywhere but doesn’t mix with it. Similarly, soul is present in the body but it is aloof from the bodily activities. And that’s why a pure devotee does not get disturbed by happiness and distress. Such a devotee goes on serving the Lordships without considering any situations or obstacles. At that moment we just remembered you Guru Mahārāja. So true are the words of Bhagavad-gītā and Śrīmad-bhāgavatam. Just by your example we could understand the truthfulness of the Lord Kṛṣṇa.

Guru Mahārāja when you were admitted in hospital because of covid and other complications, We were very worried and that was the first time we felt orphaned and feared what will we do without you. You always thinking, meditating upon how you could serve your spiritual master and Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu mission. Your disciples were sharing your daily routine and health condition. In that we were astonished to hear how you serve Lordships without any hesitation. One side the nurse is injecting you, another side chest ECG is going on, you were in ventilator, in between you were attending GBC meeting. Devine grace you are the best example for the whole world and as per the scriptures you are performing devotional service constantly, with determination and lovingly.

All of us have only 24 hours in a day. But we complain no time. Oh My Spiritual Master, you are so determined to do daily routine of chanting, hearing, reading, preaching, attending GBC meetings, giving darśana to the devotees in zoom meeting and so many activities in the mid of taking care of your body like steaming, gargling, sun therapy, chest therapy, exercises without missing even a single day.

When we think of Your Divine Grace we get new energy, feel fearless and try to follow at least to a dust particle of yours. And of course, Guru Mahārāja, we need your mercy and protection to do this dust particle.

We both got initiated by Your Divine Grace on January 9th 2022, You taught us in various ways how to solely depend upon You and Lord Kṛṣṇa before taking shelter of Your Divine Grace which we would have not learnt otherwise. Thank you so much for giving us this most valuable lesson. And we need such lesson and shelter from you always to perfect ourselves and go back to Godhead. We could see your love and care for this most degraded and insignificant souls in all aspects of our life.

Thank you, Guru Mahārāja, for all that you have given us. But at the same time please we beg forgiveness at your lotus feet for the mistakes we have committed. We beg from you to please show mercy and teach how to cry for Lord Kṛṣṇa. Our heart is a hard stone so we could not even feel a drop of gratitude for the Lordship. We are so cruel minded, unfit to be a servant of an ant also and what to speak of being your servant. Guru Mahārāja your most humble personality that’s why you don’t see any difference neophyte devotee or advanced devotee. Your divine grace shows equal importance to all the creatures in this material world that’s why you take care of us at cost of own health.

Guru Mahārāja this pen, paper, book is enough to write your glories. We have been with very minute intelligence all the words have written It’s because you have that intelligence, if suppose there is any flaw that is our ignorance and mistake, forgive us.

Guru Mahārāja, we are under the guidance of His Grace Harikśetra Prabhujī and His Grace Kārtikeya Prabhujī. We are an extension of Narasiṁha Giridhārī Mandir in Bangalore. By the devotees mercy a new center ISKCON Bhakti Center, Panathur has been started. We and many other devotees come under this center. We request you to please shower your mercy upon the devotees in this sector to advance in Kṛṣṇa Consciousness and server Śrīla Prabhupāda’s mission unalloyedly. And also we need your powerful blessing to start more and more Bhakti centers in Bangalore.

Hare Kṛṣṇa!!!
