Dear Guru Mahārāja,
G stands for Guru Mahārāja and Glorification, both goes in hand in hand. There is no glorification without Guru Mahārāja. There cannot be Guru Mahārāja without Glorification. This is my daily life’s experience, nothing happens without your mercy without your intervention, even I forget you Guru Mahārāja, you are extremely merciful and kind to remind me.
Mostly I chant with you Guru Mahārāja, the days I missed to chant with you are not very focused, chanting with you gives focus, and, determination and not giving any chance to the mind to drift away.
only by your mercy I can chant the holy name attentively with enthusiasm and love, not only you are the driving force in my chanting, also when I am lethargic and think of bodily difficulties suddenly you remind me, and say, I have not given up, so what are you doing?
Guru Mahārāja, recent past I learnt from your tolerance, patience as the time and your mercy allowed me to introspect. I realized it is not possible to move forward without your mercy. I beg for forgiveness and wait for your blessings,
Although could not attend your classes due to services, you are always inspiring in services especially, to do for perfectness. with full attention.
I cannot be grateful enough Guru Mahārāja, accepting Gaurāṅga Prāṇa Śrīvāsa Dāsa as your disciple showing we both that when guru and Kṛṣṇa decide impossible can become possible.
Yasya prasādad bhagavat prasādo, yasyāprasādān na gatiḥ kuto ‘pi, this is the only hope in our lives, and begging to serve you eternally, and seeking your guidance. for pleasure.
Your aspiring servant,
Padmāvatī Nitāimātā devī dāsī
