Hare Kṛṣṇa dearest Guru Mahārāja,
Please accept my most respectful obeisances at your divine lotus feet.
All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda!
All glories to your divine self.

nama oṁ viṣṇu-pādāya kṛṣṇa-preṣṭhāya bhū-tale
śrīmate bhaktivedānta-svāmin iti nāmine
namas te sārasvate deve gaura-vāṇī-pracāriṇe

Gurudeva, On this auspicious occasion of your divine appearance day, we offer our humble prayers to our presiding deities to keep you healthy to continue your unending services to the humanity, a service that you have undertaken for the pleasure of Śrīla Prabhupāda and Lord Gaura-sundara.
On this most auspicious occasion of your Vyāsa-pūjā, I feel most honored for the opportunity to thank you for all the blessings, protection, guidance and care that you are giving me at each and every step of my life. This wonderful occasion always reminds me how much I am sincere in my spiritual life, how much I am dedicated to our glorious movement.
titikṣavaḥ kāruṇikāḥ
suhṛdaḥ sarva-dehinām
ajāta-śatravaḥ śāntāḥ
sādhavaḥ sādhu-bhūṣaṇāḥ
The symptoms of a sādhu are that he is tolerant, merciful, and friendly to all living entities. He has no enemies, he is peaceful, he abides by the scriptures, and all his characteristics are sublime.
(Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 3.25.21)
Guru Mahārāja, Your Divine Grace is the living Bhāgavatam. When we read Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, we can see how Śrīla Guru Mahārāja exemplifies the words of Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam.
bhavad-vidhā bhāgavatās
tīrtha-bhūtāḥ svayaṁ vibho
tīrthī-kurvanti tīrthāni
svāntaḥ-sthena gadābhṛtā
My lord, devotees like Your good self are verily holy places personified. Because You carry the Personality of Godhead within Your heart, You turn all places into places of pilgrimage.
(Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 1.13.10)
Gurudeva, I am continuing my preaching services in Mathurā deśa. I am taking classes in Tamil. Our members are sincerely chanting their prescribed rounds and they are chanting extra rounds for your good health. All of us are finishing our chanting in Brahmā Muhurta and also we are regularly doing 4 rounds of Tulasī Parikramā.
I am also taking children classes online and offline Gurukul classes for children. We have four groups. Gopāla (KG 2and grade 1 children), Mādhava (grade 2 – grade 4), Dāmodara (grade 5and grade 6) and Madan-mohan (grade 7 and above). Am currently handling Mādhava children. And online am handling Madan mohan children. My daughter Akshaya is handling Dāmodara children.
Currently, I am doing my Bhakti-vaibhav course through Māyāpur Institute. Seek your blessings to properly understand the concepts of Śrīmad-bhāgavatam not only theoretically but also apply them in my life to progress further in Kṛṣṇa consciousness.
My husband Swaminathan (sheltered), Akshaya(sheltered) and Anushya(aspiring) joins me in paying their respectful obeisances at your lotus feet. Please bless them so that they will be always in the association of devotees and in the path of Kṛṣṇa consciousness all through their lives.
On this auspicious occasion of your appearance, we pray to Lordships to protect you always, give you the strength and energy to carry on with your mission of spreading Kṛṣṇa consciousness ‘unlimitedly” as Śrīla Prabhupāda wanted you, for years and years to come.
Gurudeva, Please pardon my unlimited offenses. Please keep me and my family members always in your divine shelter. We love you so much Gurudeva.
Your ever loving spiritual children
