Hare Kṛṣṇa Dearest Guru Mahārāja!! Please accept my most respectful obeisance on to your divine lotus feet!!
All Glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda!! All glories to your divine grace!!
Wishing you very happy 75th Appearance Day!! On this milestone year of your appearance, your most insignificant son, Rasarāja Narsiṁha Dasa is trying to glorify you. Kindly forgive for my shortcomings and I am seeking your blessings so that I can use the right words at the right place to glorify your divine grace.
Last year you were so merciful to come to London and give your valuable association to all of us. We were very fortunate to celebrate Father’s Day with you Guru Mahārāja, our Spiritual Father. I was so lucky to get few opportunities to serve you during the night shift and also in few other occasions because of your causeless mercy. I will always cherish the Group Photo that we have taken during the Father’s Day Celebration at your residence near Manor temple where I was holding an umbrella for you. These are all your causeless mercy dear Guru Mahārāja. I will always cherish these moments till my lifetime.
Last year as a family we came to Māyāpur, as part of Harmonix Yātrā and you are so merciful to meet and bless our children. Also, we had got opportunity to bring few items to you and for your servants as a small offering at your lotus feet. You have mercifully permitted us to meet you in person after your daily class in the Lotus building and you have particularly mentioned that my wife Anurādhā Acyutapriya used to sitting in the front of the screen while I and my daughters used to stand in the back during your online Dharshan. You are so magnanimous that you know and remember each and every one of your disciples, as insignificant as myself.
As updated last year, we are continuing with our Bhakti-śāstrī degree and we would be completing it by July this Year Guru Mahārāja. Me and my wife Anuradha Acyutapriya are doing this course together. Seeking your blessings so that we will be able to complete this course successfully with a better understanding of the Philosophy which we can use it in our preaching services and for your pleasure Guru Mahārāja.
By your blessings me and my wife are continuing to serve Śrī Śrī Rādhā Londonīśvara (twice weekly). We are also assisting in the cooking services during the festivals. We have a sincere desire to get Brahmin initiated so that we can do Pujari services in Rādhā Londonīśvara temple and we are trying to make ourselves qualified. Seeking your blessings for that Guru Mahārāja. I am also worshipping the śālagrāma-śilā (Lakṣmī Narsiṁha) that was handed over to me by my Father-in-law even though we are not very much qualified. Seeking your blessings for us to get Brāhmaṇa initiated even for us to continue worshipping the Śālagrāma-śilā, Guru Mahārāja.
Last year I have sought blessings for some of the challenges that I was facing and because of your causeless mercy, I could progress/ overcome in those challenges. Kindly continue to shower your blessings so that I can progress steadily in these challenges dear Father. I would like to provide an update on that to you Guru Mahārāja,
Preaching – This year we(my wife Anurādhā Acyutapriya and myself) could start Adults Bhakti-vṛkṣa and it has been couple of months, we are facilitating BV under the guidance of His Grace Aravind Kṛṣṇa Prabhu & Her Grace Yamuneśvari Mātājī and our Mentors His Grace Manohara Nitāi candra Prabhu & Her Grace Supriya Jāhnavā Mātājī. Kindly bless us so that we can be a small but useful instrument in your hands to cultivate the members to take up Kṛṣṇa consciousness seriously
Co-operatively serve with other Devotees – Compared to earlier, I could see a drastic change in devotee relationship especially with my Spouse Anurādhā Acyutapriya. We both are trying our best to co-operatively serve the mission keeping Kṛṣṇa in the centre. You have always reminded us of the instruction by Śrīla Prabhupāda that he wanted all his Gṛhastha couples to be Paramahaṁsa \s. We could not reach that level but at least we are trying to serve together for your pleasure Guru Mahārāja. Kindly bless us so that together we will be able to give our 200% in all the services that we do.
Reading of Śrīla Prabhupāda books – I am consciously putting an effort to read Śrīla Prabhupāda books Śrīla Guru Mahārāja. I am currently reading 4th Canto of Śrīmad Bhāgavatam and along with my wife, we are reading for the second time First Canto of Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam.
Seeking your blessings Guru Mahārāja for me to develop taste for chanting, reading and hearing. Kindly help me to overcome my anarthās so that I will be able to sincerely serve you to fulfil the instructions given to you by Śrīla Prabhupāda.
On this special day, Kindly forgive all my mistakes that I would have committed knowingly or unknowingly. Kindly use this insignificant son of yours as an instrument in your service. Kindly bless me with your eternal association Guru Mahārāja!!
We pray to Narasiṁhadeva to give you Good Health and Long Life in this world so that you can fulfil all the instructions given by Śrīla Prabhupāda and also to deliver as many of fallen souls like me with your divine association.
All glories to your 75th Appearance Day!! All glories to your divine grace!!
Your insignificant Son,
Rasarāja Narasiṁha Dāsa
