On this auspicious day please accept my greetings at your lotus feet dear Guru Mahārāja and also seek for your blessings Guru Mahārāja. Dear Guru Mahārāja, we await your trip to Dubai to be able to serve you better.
Guru Mahārāja you continue to inspire us everyday, no matter what has happened to Your health over the years you proved You are unstoppable. Through Māyāpur TV, I was fortunate enough to hear Your divine grace’s live kīrtana during the kīrtana mela. It was a very special moment and I felt it; really touched my heart.
This is my last year at school, and it is time for me to think of the next stage in my life in relation to my material studies. However, over the last few months, I really didn’t feel the motivation to continue my education and thought it all to be a waste. I always have a thought of giving up all this and just wanting to be in the constant association of devotees, hearing kirtans and serving the devotees. But with the guidance of Your disciples and Yourself, I understand that right now at this point of my life my education is my service unto You and Kṛṣṇa, You told us that we study because it is going to help us in our service to Kṛṣṇa and that we don’t necessarily have to like it, and that’s what’s keeping me going dear Guru Mahārāja.
I am so fortunate to have received a letter from you last month regarding my wellbeing and advancement. You really put a lot of effort into caring for each and every one of your disciples. Deep gratitude and much love to You Guru Mahārāja.
With all honesty and repent I want to tell You Guru Mahārāj, that from the start of 2023 I haven’t been sincere in my chanting and I beg Your mercy so that I can do 16 quality rounds everyday. I am currently about to finish Bhakti-śāstri, as I am yet to give my 45 śloka test. By Your mercy soon I will be able to start Bhakti-Vaibhava. I am following the 4 regulative principles and attend our Namhatta here in Gaurāṅgadesh every week. Since the beginning of this year my reading and attendance in classes have decreased due to time constraints. I realized that with the decrease in my sādhana I did not feel the constant inner peace and bliss. Our life’s goal is to serve Guru and Gaurāṅga. I am trying to serve You better by improving my japa quality, chanting with utmost sincerity and also to do my daily reading and my sādhanas constantly. I sincerely pray at Your lotus feet so that I am able to increase and do quality sādhana.
Guru Mahārāj, please forgive me for any offenses I may have committed knowingly or unknowingly and I beg for Your blessings for my spiritual advancement and to serve you and the Lord in a better way. Please continue to guide me to serve the devotees with utmost love and care.
Together with my family, I pray to Śrī Śrī Rādhā Mādhava and aṣṭa-sakhī, Śrī Prahlāda Narasiṁha, Śrī Śrī Pañca-tattva and Śrī Śrī Jagannātha Baladeva and Subhadrā Maharani and devotees to continue to give You improved health and for us to serve You and Your mission forever. I once again pay my respectful obeisances unto Your lotus feet Guru Mahārāj, and wish to celebrate many more such cherished occasions in the future.
Your insignificant servant,
Vaiṣṇavī Rādhākṛṣṇan (Aspirant)
Gaurāṅga deśa yātrā (Dubai)
