Hare Kṛṣṇa Guru Mahārāja,
Daṇḍavat Praṇāma.
On this auspicious occasion of your appearance, please accept my respectful obeisances unto your lotus feet. Really I am not at all able to glorify you and your divine qualities, but I am glad to avail the opportunity and making an attempt to offer a few words.
*Dear Guru Mahārāja*,
I am so grateful and lucky enough to be on this path, so like to express my love and gratitude to Shree Gurudeva and beg his blessings for my spiritual journey, which is not possible without your blessings.
5 years ago, when I came to Kṛṣṇa Consciousness, I heard about you and your glories, which touched my heart. After that, when you visited Bengaluru, I saw you twice, I was more impressed and from there several changes came in my life.
Dear Guru Mahārāja, inspite of a lot many health challenges, you are still engaged, 24 hours to give Kṛṣṇa Consciousness to many fallen souls like me. I had many critical problems earlier, still facing many, but because of your blessings, I with my husband get spiritual strength and stable in Kṛṣṇa Consciousness.
Gurudeva, kindly bless me and my family (daughter- Khushi, son Nishant and spouse- Ramesh) to continue our Kṛṣṇa Consciousness in the association of devotees.
Your aspiring daughter,
Nidhi Kumari (aspiring disciple)
