Please accept my respectful obeisances. All glories to your lotus feet.
It is a great fortune for me to write an offering on your glorious 74th Vyāsa-pūjā.
My dear Guru Mahārāja, You have always been a source of inspiration to me, it’s always a pleasure talking and meditating about the qualities you possess, despite having so many health challenges you never give up to spread your mercy to your disciples and everyone around you. It was a pleasure to see you complete Bhakti-vaibhava course, I hope and pray that one day even I complete it.
By your mercy and blessings we have started some of Bhakti-vṛkṣa in person and now even starting kids Bhakti-vṛkṣa in person nearly 45 new kids have shown interest, so we are going to start it in two batches after Gaura Pūrṇimā. Please pray for us and bless us so that these young kids can advance nicely in Kṛṣṇa consciousness.
By your mercy and blessings the Bhakti-vṛkṣa devotees are doing very well in their Kṛṣṇa conscious life, recently we had been to Rādhādeśa for Rādhādeśa mellows around 30 devotees accompanied us, over there our members got so much taste and interest in chanting the holy name, over there they heard the devotees sing Kevalāṣṭakam, they were so attracted to it that after coming back to London they held kīrtana program in their house every day from Sunday to Friday and every day the children sang Kevalāṣṭakam the same way it was sung in Rādhādeśa and everyone was jumping and dancing in ecstasy. Now they have planned kīrtana program again over the Easter holidays.
Thank you very much Guru Mahārāja for whatever you have given me till now please bless me so that I always remember Kṛṣṇa and never forget Kṛṣṇa.
Please bless me that I always get a taste to chant the mahā-mantra.
On this auspicious day I pray to Kṛṣṇa to bless you with good health and very long life.
Haribol!
Your humble disciple,
Nikuñja Sakhi Devī Dāsī (East London)
