Hare Kṛṣṇa Guru Mahārāja. My crores of prostrations unto Your Holiness’ lotus feet.
nama oṁ viṣṇu-pādāya kṛṣṇa-preṣṭhāya bhū-tale
śrīmate jayapatāka svāmin iti nāmine
nama ācaryapādāya nitāi-kṛpā-pradāyine
gaura-kathā-dhāma-dāya nagara-grāma-tāriṇe
Please accept my respectful obiesances, Guru Mahārāja.
Thank you so much Guru Mahārāja for saving me from this ocean of nescience and giving me a place under Your Holiness’ lotus feet. I am very fortunate to receive your shelter and guidance in progressing in my spiritual life. I cannot be grateful enough for the instructions and guidance you provide me in every situation of my life through various ways, lectures, videos, posters and newsletters. Your personal emails always recharge me and exemplify your care towards my spiritual health.
I am doing my sādhanas regularly without fail and everyday I’m getting your blessings. By Your Holiness’ mercy, here in KKD, 21 students have graduated in Bhakti-śāstrī through KKD Institute of Higher Education (KIHE). 13 more have completed the course and the list will be sent to BoEx for certificates within a week. More than 25 are about to complete the course in about two months. Thus, Śrīla Prabhupāda’s teachings are being propagated in a systematic manner adhering to the guidelines of BoEx to students in various languages (Hindi, Tamil and Telugu). Around 125 students are currently studying Bhakti-śāstrī in KIHE.
How is your health Guru Mahārāja? I wish I serve you personally, but I know that I am not qualified even an iota for that. I have never been a good disciple. I wish I do not be a bad face of ISKCON and Your Holiness’ Śiṣya Samūha. Many a time, I fall pray to Māyā and succumb to my frailties, physically and/or emotionally; still struggling to not react to situations, in vain. You have saved me umpteen times from such situations by your instructions or through your disciples, my Sikṣā Guru His Grace Harikīrtana Rañjana Dāsa and others.
Thank you Guru Maharāja.
Please bless me to be ever in the service of Your Holiness’ lotus feet and in Prabhupāda’s. Please bless me to be rid of all anarthas and engage in the Lord’s service with my family.
Your unworthy servant,
Śaṅkhapāṇi Janārdana Dāsa
