Hare Kṛṣṇa, Dear Guru Mahārāja,
Please Accept My Respectful Obeisances!
All Glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda!
All Glories to your Divine Grace!
All glories to you on your auspicious 73rd Appearance day!!
Dear Guru Mahārāja, by your causeless mercy, I and my mother were able to get aspiring from your Holiness in May 2021. Presently I am able to chant 12 rounds of Hare Kṛṣṇa Mahā Mantra.
I have been mentored in this wonderful process of Kṛṣṇa Consciousness by the devotees of NRJD (Bengaluru), Minneapolis and Tallahassee. By your blessings and their able guidance, I am relishing the process of Bhakti so much but whenever I try to share about it with my family and friends, they are little reluctant to take up the process. So on this auspicious day, I kindly request you to shower your blessings Guru Mahārāja, so that as a family we could serve you and Lord Gaurāṅga and make Kṛṣṇa Consciousness not a part of our life but the very heart of our life.
I find spiritual studies to be very interesting while reading yours and Śrīla Prabhupāda’s books. I really wish to complete my material studies soon and take up spiritual studies seriously so that I can apply the teachings of our Acharyas in my life and get rid of all my anarthas by your mercy.
Your preaching had always been and will continue to be a source of inspiration for all of us Guru Mahārāja. Seeking your blessings so that we imbibe the same mood and become tiny instruments in Nithyānanda Prabhu and Caitanya Mahāprabhu’s mission of spreading the Harināma and thus be of some service to your preaching movement.
Hare Kṛṣṇa.
Your Insignificant servant,
