Hare Kṛṣṇa Dearest Guru Mahārāja!! Please accept my most respectful obeisances on to your divine lotus feet!!
All Glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda!! All glories to your divine grace!!
Wishing you very happy 74th Appearance Day!!
Thank you so much for accepting this most insignificant being as your Spiritual Son which clearly shows you are an Ocean of Mercy.
With my limited abilities I am trying to Glorify you and I would need your blessings without which I can’t do anything on my own.
You are an embodiment of Devotee Care. You do not care much about your health or well-being but always thinking of other’s welfare. The JPS Care team that you have formed is reaching out to all your disciples across the globe and providing the needed care for us to stay focused in our Spiritual Life. The Birthday wishes that we are getting from them on Your behalf, makes that day even more special.
During August 2022, we have got a Golden Opportunity to meet you in Person during your trip to Hyderabad. Our Senior God Brothers and Sisters here in UK has engaged us in the service of taking some Gifts to your servants and some fruits for your divine grace. For that insignificant service that we have rendered you have reciprocated by giving your Mahā Garland, your Personal Paraphernalia, Your Mahā Prasad and above all, an opportunity to do a personal service at your lotus feet. We could feel your mercy flowing on our family in each and every moment. Those three days have been the most memorable days for us in the last year.
As we were coming to India only for a period of 2 weeks and of which only 2 days we have planned to come to Māyāpur, we were praying to you that we should be able to get your physical Dharshan at least for a moment. You are so merciful to our family that before even we come to Māyāpur, you came to Hyderabad and gave your association to us from the first day we landed in Hyderabad. Not only Paramathma reside in each and everyone’s heart but you being the representative of the Supreme Lord reside in our heart, understand our desires and reciprocate accordingly. Thank you so much Guru Mahārāja for showering your blessings on our family.
Thank you so much Gurudeva for reminding us every month to progress in our Spiritual life by your monthly messages. How much unworthy Son I should be, to not properly able to follow your instructions in those monthly messages. At this point I am only been able to follow the 4 Regulative Principles and Chanting 16 rounds without fail but other than that I am not able to do anything that could please you. Kindly Chastise me Guru Mahārāja, so that I will be able to wake up from Māyā and engage in your service with my full heart.
By your causeless mercy, I am engaged in temple service @ ISKCON London, on a weekly basis. Kindly bless me so that I can carry out the service in a proper mood and does not commit any offense at the lotus feet of the Lordships as well as other Vaiṣṇavas.
As you have always emphasized again and again to read Śrīla Prabhupāda books and get strong in Philosophy, I am currently mid-way in my Bhakti-śāstrī and I am seeking your blessings so that I can successfully finish the course with a better understanding of the scriptures that I can use it in the Preaching mission of Śrīla Prabhupāda. I am also reading Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam and I am currently reading 19 Chapter of Canto 3 and I am making a very slow progress in reading Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam. I am seeking your blessings for me to get taste of reading and listening to Śrīla Prabhupāda and able to serve him with a proper mood.
I am seeking your blessings and mercy Dear Father, to overcome some of my challenges in my Spiritual Progress,
1. I am not able to come out of my comfort zone to Preach the message of Śrīla Prabhupāda. Even after knowing Preaching is so dear to you and being your Spiritual Son, I am not able to serve you Guru Mahārāja. Please empower me, so that I can be a small instrument to Preach Kṛṣṇa consciousness to the best of my ability.
2. Many a times I am facing challenges to co-operatively serve with other devotees, especially with my Spouse, who is also your Spiritual Daughter. We are still dwelling in the past bad memories which we are struggling hard to overcome. Kindly help us to get out of this and together we will be able to serve you by following your instructions and please you.
3. I am still not able to focus and dedicate time to read Śrīla Prabhupāda’s books which you always emphasize. Seeking your blessings so that I am able to dedicate a fixed amount of time in reading Śrīla Prabhupāda’s books on a daily basis.
Kindly help me to overcome my anarthas so that I will be able to sincerely serve you to fulfil the instructions given to you by Śrīla Prabhupāda
On this special day, Kindly forgive all my mistakes that I would have committed knowingly or unknowingly. Kindly use this insignificant son of yours as an instrument in your service. Kindly bless me with your eternal association Guru Mahārāja!!
We pray to Narasiṁhadeva to give you Good Health and Long Life in this world so that you can fulfil all the instructions given by Śrīla Prabhupāda and also to deliver as many of fallen souls like me with your divine association.
All glories to your 74th Appearance Day!! All glories to your divine grace!!
Your insignificant Son,
Rasarāja Narasiṁha Dāsa
