Hare Krishna Dear Guru Maharaj,
Please accept my most respectful obesiances at the dust of your lotus feet.
All glories to Sri Gauranga Mahaprabhu and Sri Nityananda prabhu!! All glories to Srila Prabhupad!!
All glories to your divine grace!!
Wish you very happy 74th Vyasa Puja. We are so grateful to the Lord for giving you in this planet and grateful to the you for accepting us under your shelter. I sincerely pray to Sri Sri Radha Madhav, and Prahlad Narasimha Dev to protect you from all sides and all danger.
Dear Gurumaharaj, your unlimited ocean like mercy is immeasurable, not just to only disciples but to everyone. Though I am unworthy to receive your blessings and mercy, but your unconditional and infinite mercy is constantly showered upon me, just as Lord Sri Krishna’s mercy is.
Getting devotee association is very rare, but it is only by your mercy, Lord is so kind upon us to give the wonderful association of devotees in ISKCON of Richmond and I am really so grateful for this association and only this association keeps me going in my spiritual progress. It is all because of your mercy upon us. I am aware that no matter how much service I perform, I can never repay you my dear Gurumaharaj for your mercy.
Because of your mercy, My bhakti Vriksha is running very nicely and atleast 6-8 devotees are very regular for last 6 months and they started chanting. Few are chanting 1 round, 4 rounds, and some are doing 10 rounds. I beg your mercy, so our bhakti vriskha members can take up krishna consious seriously and grow in their spiritual life. I beg at your lotus feet to please use me as your instrument, so I can bring more and more souls under your shelter.
You are the emblem for “Never give up” even so many challenges you face in your health. You are showing us the path of how a sincere disciple should be, very determined in performing service to one’s guru. Please kindly bless me, so I can get atleast a fraction of your enthusiasm, so I can serve you sincerely. Honesty I am struggling in my morning sadhana very badly, my dear Gurudev, please kindly give me intelligence to help me avoid committing any offenses towards any Vaishnava, so I can do my sadhana without any struggles. I feel guilty so many times, if I am not sincere, how can I able to hold your mercy and pass your compassion to others.
You are such an inspiration for studying Srila Prabhupad book seriously in a systematic manner. Only with your inspiration, I am currently continuing Bhakti Vaibhav module 2 in Mayapur Institute. I beg at your lotus feet that the purpose of my study purify my heart and increase pure love and devotion to the supreme lord and practice what I study. I should not get carried away by pride, name and fame and please protect me from offenses and remain as humble servant to all the Vaishnavas eternally. Please help me, atleast rest of my life will be useful as your instrument at your lotus feet service.
Your eternal unqualified daughter
