Firstly, I would like to thank You from the bottom of my heart Śrīla Gurudeva. By Your causeless mercy only, I got shelter from You on March 29, 2023 in Minneapolis even though I am not qualified enough. I am striving hard to get qualified and get initiation from Your divine grace as soon as possible.
We are under the guidance of His Grace Caitanya Avatari prabhu, Her Grace Rasamayi mātājī and our mentors are His Grace Amani Gauracandra prabhu and Her Grace Susevinī Guru Gaurāṅga mātājī.
Gurudeva, first time I saw You was when You came to Minneapolis in 2023, I still remember how I couldn't control my tears. I am nowhere deserving this, but I can feel Your extreme mercy on me and my family everyday.
By your causeless mercy only, my son Sai Anish(9 years) is chanting 6 rounds daily and my daughter Havisha(7 years) is chanting 4 rounds daily. My husband Pavan hasn't started chanting yet but we all are eating prasadā, doing mangal aarti, doing services and slowly getting into the practices of Kṛṣṇa Consciousness. We are all nothing without Your grace Gurudeva. So, please bless all of us so that we can do devotional service sincerely and consistently with the right mood in order to please You and Gaurāṅga. And please forgive us for all the offenses we made knowingly or unknowingly and bless us to avoid those offenses in future.
On this auspicious occasion of Your appearance day, we would like to offer our prayers to Narasiṁhadeva for Your good health and long life to lift the fallen souls like me.
Your insignificant servants,
Anusha, Pavan, Sai Anish, Havisha.
