With your mercy only, I am able to improve in spiritual progress. We were having desire to go to Māyāpur which became true last year. We enjoyed the bliss. I heard in lectures that you were asking those people travelling with you to Calcutta, you will be asking them to come to Māyāpur. Onetime Amarendra Prabhujī told in lecture that he was able to get your mercy to go in your car to Māyāpur from Calcutta airport. From this I understand that you will be welcoming all people to Māyāpur to take darśana of Śrī Śrī Rādhā Mādhava and get mercy.
You will be taking care of the devotees who are coming to Māyāpur and I was hearing from one of the zoom meetings that 20 devotees from Malaysia came to Māyāpur and they were telling in the zoom meeting that Guru Mahārāja had taken care of them during their Māyāpur yātrā.
When we came to Māyāpur, we were desiring to take your darśana along with our devotees but we could not have take your darśana as you were having other program in Calcutta. We brough many offerings such as Dates laddu, Cashew nuts etc then we offered to Lord Rādhā Mādhava.
I heard from zoom lecture that there is Jayapatākā swami book table from which daily hundreds of Śrīla Prabhupāda’s books are distributed. Guru Mahārāja, you are the role model in book distribution which influenced me to take part in Book marathon through our Bhakti-vṛkṣa members and other new devotees to support your mission to serve Śrīla Prabhupāda and distribute 10,000 books every month by Śrīla Jayapatākā Swami Guru Mahārāja.
I read daily from JPS app that how Guru Mahārāja is leading his daily activities all 24/7 in devotional service which inspire me how Ācāryas are leading their life fully in Kṛṣṇa consciousness without slipping even for a moment. Since I read from the app that every devotee should read at least 1 Chapter from Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam daily, I took it seriously and started reading at least 1 Chapter daily which give more and more depth knowledge from Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam by reading various Ācāryas and elevated devotees life history.
With your blessings only, I am able to take Bhakti-vṛkṣa classes regularly every week. One of our Bhakti-vṛkṣa devotee is suffering from illness and she is able to concentrate on listening lectures and chanting as I was explaining about your health to her. She took it seriously and follow listening and chanting to get relieved from her sufferings understanding that only Harināma is the savior for her illness and suffering.
I beg your blessings for improving my service and sādhana more and more into Devotional service. If I am able to do this much, is because of your blessings only. I am thinking of Guru Mahārāja every time during each of my service. With Guru Mahārāja blessings and support only, I am doing all services without which I will not be able to do service in Kṛṣṇa consciousness.
After getting Initiation only, I realize these many changes in my mind and consciousness, all because of your mercy only.
Your Humble Servant,
Ananta-rūpiṇī Viṣṇupriyā devī dāsī
