Dear Guru Mahārāja,
Please accept my respectful obeisances. All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda.
I offer my respectful obeisances unto your lotus feet on the auspicious occasion of your 74th Vyāsa-pūjā celebration. All glories to your lotus feet! All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda!
My dear spiritual father, it’s only by your causeless mercy I am able to practice spirituality in this life-time. I am very indebted to your causeless mercy to accept me as your sheltered disciple.
Guru Mahārāja, we got into Kṛṣṇa conscious practice by the blessings of His Grace Amāni Gauracandra Prabhujī and Her Grace Susevinī Gaurāṅga Mātājī in Minnesota. They are our spiritual mentors and have helped us on each and every step during our spiritual journey.
By your causeless mercy my family is practicing Kṛṣṇa consciousness for past 3 years and 4 out 5 members in our family are chanting 16 rounds. On this occasion, I seek your blessings Guru Mahārāja, please bless my family (Husband - Neeraj, Kids - Tishya (16), Tavish (11) and Tvishi(11)) and take us in your shelter. We all want to serve you nicely and help you in your mission of fulfilling Śrīla Prabhpada’s instructions.
Guru Mahārāja, I got an opportunity to meet with you last year in Atlanta. It was a very blissful experience and felt like we are soaked in full spirituality after seeing you. I feel so many positive changes in my family from last year to today, all due to the mercy of you and Gaurāṅga.
We all are so excited to see you in USA again. Please do plan to come to Minnesota, I know it is a very cold place and per your health condition not sure if it will be possible for you to make it, but by following you on your phone App everyday, I know nothing is impossible for you if you decide to do it. You are purely ‘Bhakta-vatsala’ and for your disciples you are fine to take any troubles and go anywhere. Your body is completely transcendental and considering you to be a normal human being would be anyone’s utter mistake. The pace with which you are travelling and giving initiations to uplift the fallen souls in this health condition is not possible by any ordinary sannyāsī/human being. You are so very compassionate and merciful on the fallen conditioned souls and fully dedicated your life to Śrīla Prabhpada’s mission. I pray to Gaurāṅga that he blesses you with good health, so you are able to claim more and more fallen souls at take them out of this cycle of birth and death.
Kindly bless us. I have no hope other than your blessings Guru Mahārāja.
Your Sheltered Disciple,
Preeti Gupta
Minnesota, USA
