Dearest Guru Mahārāja,
Please accept my humble obeisance's at the dust of your lotus feet
All Glories to Lord Jagannātha, Baladeva and Lady Subhadrā
All Glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda
All Glories to you on this most auspicious occasion of your Vyāsa Pūjā.
I am eternally indebted to you for your guidance and protection in my spiritual life through all these years. Even over the last 3 years, you had your own challenges, but you reached out to all of us from all over the world to make sure we were not becoming bewildered in this material world. Your association through ZOOM and Facebook has been truly invaluable to me and my family.
I recently had a baby and named her Krishnapriya. We listen to kīrtana, class and do pūjā together. It is always by your mercy that we can remain motivated. My prayer is that she will grow up to be a good devotee and truly dear to Kṛṣṇa.
My only prayer on this auspicious occasion is that you continue to guide us and give us shelter
Your servant,
Prema Priyā Gaurāṅgī Devī Dasī
