Hare Kṛṣṇa Our Dearest Guru Mahārāja.
Please Accept Our Respectable Obeisances unto Your Divine Lotus Feet Dear Guru Mahārāja
Wishing you a Very Very Happy 74th Vyāsa Pūjā Day Celebartions.
All Glories to you on this most auspicious day of your appearance in this World Gurudeva. We are very fortunate to have the opportunity to write to you on this Glorious Day.
We are very grateful having accepted us as your disciples by giving intiation on 27th November 2020 on Utthāna Dvādaśī though we did not have any qualification and fallen souls. We are extremely happy that we became your Spiritual Son and Daughter.
During 2015 we started going to ISKCON Śrī Śrī Rādhā Kṛṣṇa Mandir In Chennai. Prior to that we went to ISKCON Juhu once. I (Ratnagarbhā Nandarānī Devī Dāsī) used to go every week to ISKCON Chennai and my Prabhu (Śyāma Sundara Acyuta Dāsa) dropped me several times to ISKCON Mandir. In this process he used to have darśana Of Śrī Śrī Rādhā Kṛṣṇa, Śrī Śrī Jagannātha, Baladev and Subhadrā Māi and Śrī Śrī Nṛsiṁha Bhagavan Darśana at ISKCON Chennai. He used to take Kṛṣṇa Prasādam also. I also used to pray that my prabhu should come to Kṛṣṇa Consciousness.
From 2018 We are going to ISKCON Vijayawada and now and then to ISKCON HBR layout, Bangalore, also called as Nava Nṛsiṁha Temple whenever we go to our daughter's house in Bangalore. In Vijayawada with your mercy we have excellent devotee association and listened lectures by temple President and Our śikṣā-guru, His Grace Chakradhāri Prabhuji and other Devotees. We have regularly attended and listened Śrīmad Bhāgavatam, Bhagavad-gītā and Nectar of Devotion classes. During Covid time also we had online classes which made our spiritual progress day by day better. We also joined Bhakti Śāstrī Classes.
We are extremely fortunate and happy to have your association on August 23rd to August 26th 2022 during your visit to Vijayawada.
I, Śyāma Sundara Acyuta Dāsa, was given service of Guest House in-charge, where you and JPS team of devotees stayed dear Guru Mahārāja, by ISKCON Viajyawada President His Grace Chakradhāri Prabhuji.
During your visit I was very fortunate to talk to you dear Guru Mahārāja.
One incident I could not forget during your last visit to Vijayawada Dear Guru Mahārāja.
One day you asked me "what is your name?"
I told Śyāma Sundara Acyuta Dāsa Guru Mahārāja.
By touching your ear you asked me What?
Then again I told Śyāma Sundara Acyuta Dāsa.
Then again you told me Guru Mahārāja" if you say 10 times only I could remember".
Then I repeated 10 times. You laughed very loudly. This incident is unforgettable throgh out my life Dear Guru Mahārāja.
My wife Ratnagarbhā Nandarānī Devī Dāsī also could do some service in cooking during your visit to Vijayawada. She also done service viz.,for cooking help, cleaning etc., during your visit to Vrṇdāvan during Dāmodara Masam of 2022.
We are extremely fortunate to take a photograph with you in ISKCON Vijayawda Temple Dear Guru Mahārāja.
In another incident I was praying you and begging you dear Guru Mahārāja. I left Japa bag in train and forgotten during Vṛndāvana-Chitrakūṭa Karthik Yatra,we got down from train and all devotees boarded buses to reach Chitrakūṭa . I noticed japamālā is missing Checked my bags every where and I underwent terrific tension.
Suddenly your mercy I remembered that I left it in Train. I took a taxi and reached the station after two hours travelling about 50 kms. Fortunately that is last stop of that train. As soon as I boarded and asked the. A. C.coach attedndent I left japamālā , he said "wait". He kept safely in a cup board and gave me. I prayed you Guru Mahārāja and you have done it dear Guru Mahārāja. I thanked the attendant. I came back to Chitrakūṭa very happily and all our congregation devotees are anxiously waiting for my return with Japa Mala. When they saw japamālā all are very very happy. They also prayed that I should get my japamālā with your mercy dear Gurudeva.
All of us are still remembering it.
Dear Gurudeva.
