Hare Kṛṣṇa Dear Guru Mahārāja,
Please Accept My respectful obeisances. All Glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda. All glories to your grace.
Guru Mahārāja I feel very privileged to write your 74th Vyāsa-pūjā offering. Guru Mahārāja thank you very much for everything you have given us and for being with us in every aspect of our life. This year has been a special year. By your blessings and mercy of Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī and Kṛṣṇa we were blessed with a baby boy on 20th December 2022. Guru Mahārāja you have been with us throughout this journey. Even before Supriyā had conceived you used to pray for us and bless us. Your blessings were our only hope. When Supriyā conceived you had sent a beautiful voicemail blessing her. And on the day of her delivery even though you were busy with meetings you took time to call her and blessed her for her safe delivery. Thanks to Śyāma Rasika Prabhu for arranging that call. We begetting a child was purely because of your prayers and Vaiṣṇavas blessings. By your causeless mercy you named the baby Rāghava. Thanks to Mahā Varāha Prabhu who was communicating with yourself on our behalf. Rāghava is now 12 weeks old Guru Mahārāja and we request you to bless so that he may grow into a Kṛṣṇa conscious devotee and serve in Śrīla Prabhupāda’s army.
Guru Mahārāja you are an epitome of compassion, and you attract so many people to the Lotus feet of Śrī Rādhā Mādhava by your devotee care. I recently read how you personally took the kichuḍi prasāda from Shanitipur to a Mātājī who was admitted in the hospital and to other devotees who could not come to Śāntipur. You ensured that they all by eating kichuḍi get Govinda-prema. We can see how you give personal care to each and every devotee. Kindly bless us that we may get a drop of that mood Guru Mahārāja.
Guru Mahārāja you have shown by example how important it is to read Śrīla Prabhupāda’s books on a daily basis. By seeing your dedication, we are also inspired to read Śrīla Prabhupāda’s books. I am reading a few verses of Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam daily and preparing for Bhakti-śāstrī.
Guru Mahārāja we seek your blessings to continue our preaching activity and through Bhakti-vṛkṣa connect many souls to Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu.
We seek blessings that we may continue to keep our vows, and dive deep in our spiritual practice. We pray that we develop taste for chanting the Holy name and deepen our love for guru and Kṛṣṇa
We beg forgiveness for any offense committed knowingly or unknowingly to Your Divine Grace. Please always keep us under the shade of your lotus feet.
We pray for your long living healthy life Guru Mahārāja. Hope to meet you soon in London Guru Mahārāja.
Your spiritual son and daughter,
Manohara Nitāicandra Dāsa and Supriyā Jāhnavā Devī Dāsī
