Dearest Guru Mahārāja,
Please accept my respectful obeisances unto your lotus feet.
All glories to His Divine Grace A.C.Bhaktivedanta Swami Śrīla Prabhupāda.
All glories to your eternal service in the mission of Śrīla Prabhupāda and Caitanya Mahāprabhu in spreading the holy name.
Dearest Guru Mahārāja, I'm an insignificant and unqualified soul to glorify yourselves, and I would like to seek your permission to do an humble attempt. You are a true embodiment of the words disciple, spiritual father, well-wisher, and guide. As a disciple of Śrīla Prabhupāda, your mood in fulfilling his instructions has always been focussed, enthusiastic, and positive till date irrespective of external circumstances. As our spiritual father, you have always been thinking of us, praying for well-being and motivating us in this spiritual journey. As a well-wisher and guide, your inspiration to many many souls is absolutely unimaginable, unfathomable.
Guru Mahārāja, I really thank you for giving your darshan everyday through Caitanya Līlā Class over zoom and blessing us personally on special days and accepting our humble offerings. I'm also very very fortunate and grateful to yourselves for kindly accepting me as your disciple last year. I could experience a lot of empowerment since then which is helping me a lot personally also in preaching services. Also, many times you have given your personal darshan directly through dreams and given wonderful service opportunities.
With your causeless mercy, blessings and guidance through senior devotees, we are trying to serve the devotees locally through Bhakti Vṛkṣa and outreach programs for adults and children. Also, we are trying to take Kṛṣṇa consciousness into the community through Gaura Pūrṇimā, Pānihāṭi, Janmāṣṭamī, Rathayātrā, Dāmodara and many other festivals, and also through Book distribution programs. We beg for your blessings Guru Mahārāja, so that we can cultivate the members nicely and engage them in devotional service with the help of our mentors.
We sincerely pray to Śrī Śrī Rādhā Mādhava, Śrī Śrī Pañca-tattva, Śrī Śrī Narsiṁhadeva, Śrī Śrī Jagannātha Baladeva Subhadrā Māi to give yourself immense strength so that you can deliver many more fallen souls like me and help them reach the abode of Supreme Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa. I once again pay my respectful obeisances unto your lotus feet Guru Mahārāja and wish to celebrate many more such wonderful occasions.
Your Eternal Servant and Disciple
