Vinitā Gāndharvikā devī dāsī (Houston - United States of America)

My dearest father and spiritual master,

nama oṁ viṣṇu-pādāya kṛṣṇa-preṣṭhāya bhū-tale
śrīmate jayapatāka svāmin iti nāmine
nama ācaryapādāya nitāi-kṛpā-pradāyine
gaura-kathā-dhāma-dāya nagara-grāma-tāriṇe

Please accept my respectful obeisances. All glories to Śrī Śrī Guru and Gaurāṅga! All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda! All Glories to the previous ācāryās!

Please accept my respectful obeisances unto the dust of your lotus feet. All glories to You! All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda!

Guru Mahārāja, it is a great privilege and honor to write an offering unto the most compassionate and worship able person. Even though I don’t have any qualification to write or talk about You.

I feel so fortunate to get your mercy and this blessed Kṛṣṇa conscious life.

it is impossible for me to glorify your magnanimous qualities. I am a very insignificant fallen soul, fortunately came under your shelter. With my little knowledge, how am I to glorify your greatness. You are an eternal associate of lord Gaurāṅga. Just like Lord Caitanya’s though it seems you appeared in America but in actuality you have appeared in this material world to deliver fallen souls such as us. It is very mystic to understand, how you engage yourself to preaching Kṛṣṇa consciousness throughout the world in such illness of your bodily condition.

To fulfil the desire of Śrīla Prabhupāda you are always absorbed in thoughts on how to execute his instructions, how to develop Śrī Māyāpur dhāma, Distribution of Śrīla Prabhupāda books, accept Fifty-thousands of disciples etc. Due to your dedication to Śrīla Prabhupāda, all your projects are flourishing today. You have reestablished the Nāmahaṭṭa programs, and it is growing everyday larger than ever and its already touching countless lives, bring them closer to Kṛṣṇa.

Just to show us an example you took all hardships to finish examinations on March 7th, 2024 and received a Bhakti-vedanta degree with such health condition. I wish I will eternally remember your inspiration and compassion.

Sweet Memories and Pastime from Dallas visit:

April 2023 was very happy and most awaited moment for our family because we could take your darśana in Dallas every week and for that glance and blessings and your sweet presence driving 6 hours was not taxing for us. Thank you for your merciful reciprocation as that was prayer to be able to see you as long as you were in Dallas. The moment we all received you in the airport and when you kindly accepted pādābhiṣekam from all the devotees till midnight 12 with so much grace will always be a lesson for me to have patience. Dear Guru Mahārāja Thank you for encouraging me by kindly accepting the cookies that I made and brought and also receiving your remnants will be a cherishable moment in my heart always. last year was very merciful year for us and we could come for Sādhu-saṅga your get your blessings a hear your class.

By your blessings sometimes I got opportunities to speak to you and ask questions.

Every time we get to meet you and see you makes me and my family immensely happy.

I would like to offer my services at your lotus feet to the best of my capability.

Guru Mahārāja from day of your surgery, I am doing Nirjalā Ekādaśī, from 2020 January 4th from initiation day I am chanting 64 rounds on also hosting calls on every Ekādaśī where many devotees also join with me and chant 64 rounds.

By your prayers and inspiration Every day I am able chant my rounds before 6 am and I chant daily 21 rounds.

I am co ordinating calls for the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam and Śrī Caitanya Bhagavta and also I upload classes to YouTube and I help as technical team to organize calls.

I also teach kids classes.

I also sometimes get an opportunity to give Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam Class and Caitanya-Bhāgavata Classes

I completed Bhakti-śāstrī. It all due to your blessings Guru Mahārāja.

Because you do not have an opportunity to go for book distribution I am doing at your book table daily from past 4 years please bless me so that I can continue it.

My daughter Bāla Vṛndā learnt Bhagavad-gītā 17 chapters and prayers from Śrīmad-bhāgavatam and chanting 6 rounds daily and weekend 8 rounds.

My Prabhujī always supports me so much so I can do my service and he chants 8 rounds every day.

I sincerely request your blessings and mercy so that I can fulfill my responsibility as a wife and mother and become a good devotee.

As śāstra’s say about bad qualities of people in Kali, I am sure that I am having all those qualities of Kali in fullest.

I am one of the most unintelligent who cannot channelize your mercy. Yet you are compassionately showering your mercy in every moment of my life. Hopefully Someday I will get cleansed. Your mercy is the most potent But I am the most fool. Thank you Gurudeva for tolerating me.

On this very auspicious day of your appearance, I seek your most special blessings.

Please remove my pride, my foolishness, my anger and many more of this demonic propensities.

Only With your blessings, I hope I will be of some use to you in your service to Śrīla Prabhupāda.

Dear Guru Mahārāja, we beg for Your forgiveness, for any offenses committed by us knowingly or unknowingly. Please allow us to remain as particles of dust at Your lotus Feet. We humbly beg for Your blessings to be able to continue and increase our services for the pleasure of all Vaiṣṇavas, Yourself, Śrīla Prabhupāda and the entire guru-paramparā.

Jaya Śrīla Guru Mahārāja!

Yours insignificant spiritual daughter,
