My dearest Guru Mahārāja,
Please accept my humble obeisances unto your lotus feet.
Hope this finds you in your best condition.
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
All glories and all glories unto you on your auspicious appearance day.
My utmost gratitude unto you for taking me in your shelter. All your humble services to the movement without a thought for yourself, gives me more and more inspiration every day to push myself further with my sādhanā. But Guru Mahārāj, I am in desperate need of your mercy to do my sādhanā with full focus and concentration. Guru Mahārāja, please allow me to be engaged in your humble service.
"Make the teachings emanating from the lotus mouth of our spiritual master one with your heart, and do not desire anything else."
I am putting my best efforts forward to follow all your instructions. Guru Mahārāja, I do not desire anything except for a chance in your sevā and proper sādhanā. And that is not possible without your mercy Guru mahārāj. We are all like children stranded without your guidance Guru mahārāj. For such a fallen conditioned soul, your mercy is everything we need to progress. All glories to your mercy that i can chant 16 rounds or more everyday staying in Śrīdhāma Māyāpur and read Prabhupāda books daily. Please shower your blessings upon me to continue and better my spirituality.
I cannot express in words how grateful I am to have you present in my life in the form of a Guru. I beg forgiveness for all mistakes and offences done along my journey.
In the midst of all difficulties you stay strong and inspire millions others like me to keep going. Guru mahārāj, you have proved that you are not the body, but the soul.
Your forever indebted insignificant daughter
Prajakta Palekar (sheltered disciple)
