Hare Kṛṣṇa Dear Gurudeva,
Please accept our respectful obeisances unto Your divine lotus feet.
I am along with my wife Ramya, writing this offering on your auspicious 75th appearance day.
We could not realize that a year passed already. We would love to wish You from our heart, a very Happy Kṛṣṇa Conscious 75th appearance . This year is very special for all of us since You completed 75 years which is a diamond jubilee year. By Your mercy we are under the good care of His Grace Amāni Gauracandra dāsa and Her Grace Susevinī Guru Gaurāṅga Devī Dāsī. They are helping us with right guidance in following gṛhasta āśrama. But due to our material desires, we are not able to keep up the standards.
On this auspicious occasion (Your appearance day), We are begging You to forgive us for the offenses we made, the mistakes we did and make us understand the importance of being Kṛṣṇa conscious by taking proper guidance from seniors. We need Your blessings to develop faith which can eventually help us in surrendering on to Your lotus feet by leaving all anarthās like false ego, fault finding nature, laziness etc., and can help us to advance further in our spiritual life. We also need Your special blessings to raise our daughter Chatura with proper care and devotion.
We are praying to Śrī Śrī Prahlāda Narasiṁhadeva to protect you from all health challenges and make many souls Kṛṣṇa conscious.
Once again, a very Happy Kṛṣṇa conscious appearance day Śrīla Gurudeva..
Your insignificant servants,
Arun Souri, Ramya, Chatura
