My dear Guru Mahārāja,
Daṇḍavat Praṇāma!
Please accept my respectful obeisances! All Glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda!
All glories unto your auspicious Appearance Day!
On this auspicious day of Your Vyāsa-pūjā, I’m very glad to write this offering unto your Lotus feet. I’m one of the fortunate souls who is aspiring to take shelter under your Lotus feet. Even with your present health condition, you are very dedicated to your Spiritual Master and Supreme Personality of Godhead. You are an inspiration to me everyday, to sincerely do my service in any situation.
My wife Rūparāṇī Revatī devī dāsī has already taken initiation under your Lotus feet. Due to some financial problems, I’m away from my family for the past four years. I’m chanting 16 rounds every day for the past 6 months. I was doing some small sevās for the Gaurāṅga deśa Yātrā, due to the ongoing pandemic situation, I’m unable to serve our Vaiṣṇavas. My family is in Chennai, please bless me as well as my family. I’m anxiously waiting to take initiation from your Lotus feet. Kindly bless me and give me strength so that I can progress in my spiritual life, to serve your Lotus feet and Gaurāṅga. Please bestow your mercy upon my children Deepthi and Tarun to be in Kṛṣṇa Consciousness.
I sincerely fall upon your Lotus Feet and beg you to bless me and guide me in any situation and to do more service unto you. I pray to Lord Narasiṁha that He gives you strength to continue your service for a long time.
Your insignificant disciple,
Bhakta Munuswamy (aspiring disciple)
Gaurāṅga Deśa
