Hare Kṛṣṇa Dera Guru Mahārāja.
Please accept my respectful obeisances at Your Divine Lotus feet.
All glories to Your Divine Grace.
All glories to His Divine Grace A.C Bhaktivedanta Swami Śrīla Prabhupāda.
All glories to Gaurāṅga and Nityānanda.
I have been practicing Kṛṣṇa Consciousness for 9 years and it is due to the mercy of your divine grace and Śrīla Prabhupāda. Last year by your mercy, I got initiation from you and you gave me the name Rāmapriyā Mādhava Dāsa. I was very much surprised that you gave me the name Rāmapriyā Mādhava Dāsa and you specifically told me that Rāma means Balarāma. I was very happy because I especially like the forms of Kṛṣṇa and Balarāma (or Gaura Nitāi) and you made me their servant by giving their names to me. Although I am not qualified to become your disciple, you still accepted me as your disciple to take me to back to godhead. There is no way that I can repay this debt to you Guru Mahārāja, but I know you will be very happy when we preach and bring more and more devotees to our moment. I am trying to do Bhakti-vṛkṣa under the guidance of His Grace Aravinda Kṛṣṇa Dāsa and Her Grace Yamuneśvarī Devī Dāsī. They both are my mentors, and I am so fortunate to be in their association and guidance because they are completely surrendered to you and they do everything as per your instructions.
This year, we are planning to expand Bhakti-vṛkṣa in my area (Kent, UK) into 2 groups. We are doing 18-day Gītā outreaches to get the members for Bhakti-vṛkṣa and it seems to be now one group is going to form by your mercy Guru Mahārāja. Please bless us Guru Mahārāja that we will form two BV’s this year in this area and offer you as an offering.
Please shower your mercy upon this wretched soul who is rotting in the material world with so many material desires.
Your Insignificant Servant,
Rāmapriyā Mādhava Dāsa,
East London Bhakti-vṛkṣa Group, London, UK
