Dear Guru Mahārāja,
Please accept my humble obeisances onto your divine lotus feet.
All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda and all glories to you.
My dear spiritual father, on your 74th appearance day I pray Śrī Śrī Rādhā Mādhava and aṣṭa-sakhīs, Jagannātha, Baladeva and Subhadrā, Pañcatattva and Nṛsiṁhadeva for your good healthy and long life. Thanks for accepting me as your spiritual daughter. You are an ocean of mercy and you appeared in this material world to deliver fallen souls like me.
By your causeless mercy, I received brāhmaṇa initiation on 7th January this year at Māyāpur. Last year in my Vyāsa Pūjā homage, I begged for 2nd initiation and you sanctioned me this year before I offer my homage. I have no words to show my gratitude for this special mercy. Thank you very much from the bottom of my heart. Twice I saw my previous two births in dream with you as my spiritual master. And both births I saw myself in a male body. Just in previous birth I saw how I degraded myself. When I was praying to Kṛṣṇa and asking why I am bound in this condition? Then I saw those dreams. After that I was waiting for the 2nd initiation and make this human life success. You are living Bhāgavata, an example of a pure devotee and dedicated your life to serve your guru Mahārāja and Kṛṣṇa. Please bless me so I can dedicate my life and follow your footsteps.
My husband Santosh got your shelter in Māyāpur and he is following nicely four regulatory principles and chanting 16 rounds. He is helping me in maṅgala-ārati, Gaura-āratī and in festival times. By your mercy he is observing Ekādaśī as well. My son Shreyas chanting 8 rounds and my daughter Sanchalli chanting 1 round. Please bless them so that they can chant 16 rounds and develop in Kṛṣṇa Consciousness.
At present I am serving in 2 Bhakti Vṛkṣa. One is in UK and another is in Odisha. All members are growing nicely by your supervision. By your causeless mercy I got the opportunity to serve Rādhā Londonīśvara every Saturday in pūjārī department. There I am cooking for the Lordships. Now I am desiring to do the āratī and as well as dressing for the Lordships. Dear Guru Mahārāja, please sanction me this service.
Thank you very much giving us the opportunity to take your darśana everyday in Caitanya-caritāmṛta class. Before this class I did not have any taste in Caitanya-caritāmṛta. It was very hard for me to understand the philosophy. Now I am relishing the pastimes of Mahāprabhu. Here in East London by your mercy we are getting good devotee community and by your blessings we are trying to serve together.
Now I am doing Bhakti Vaibhava course from Māyāpur Institute. As you always want to, your disciple should scrutinisingly study the śāstras and become a good preacher. So I am trying my best to understand the scriptures.
It has been more than 3 years, you didn't come to the UK. We are eagerly waiting for you to receive here.
Dear Guru Mahārāja, on this auspicious day I am begging at your lotus feet to chant śuddha-nāma and deep dive in that nectar.
Please forgive me if I have done any mistakes knowingly or unknowingly.
Your spiritual daughter
