Hare Kṛṣṇa Guru Mahārāja,
On this auspicious appearance day of Your Divine Grace, I offer my respectful obeisances to your Lotus feet. All glories to you.
Guru Mahārāja, the previous several months have been hectic for me, as my daughter Rachana Shenoy married on January 3, 2024, in Bangalore. In December 2023, I completed initiation philosophical examinations from my Yātrā in Dubai. In August, my son Amogh Shenoy enrolled at the University of Wisconsin in Milwaukee. All this would not have been possible without your mercy, Guru Mahārāja. Thanks to the kindness of senior devotees, I was able to carry out the following sevas in my Yātrā, Gaurāṅga Deśa.
- Sunday morning Bāl-Utsava class for my kids - Helping a senior Mātājī with her Bāl-Utsava lesson on Sundays.
- Teaching Vaiṣṇava kīrtanas to a few Mātājīs on Wednesdays. - Teaching Vaiṣṇava kīrtanas to youngsters on Friday evenings.
- Perform other volunteer tasks such as cooking for the weekly Yātrā program, garland making, and assisting with festival decorations.
-Assisting the Bhāgavata-Purāṇa Konkani team with the kīrtana team and Bhagavad-gītā recitation on Ekādaśī days.
All these sevas were made possible by the support of senior devotees of my Yātrā, as well as your unceasing blessings on me. I want my entire family, including my daughter Rachana Shenoy, son Amogh Shenoy, husband Ganesh Shenoy, and son-in-law Ameya Kale, to be a part of this amazing Kṛṣṇa conscious movement, and we all need to be able to preach to the whole world. Please bless all of us, including me, for our spiritual progress. I have noticed by your mercy that nothing is impossible if you cast your causeless mercy on me.
Your servant,
Mandakini Ganesh Shenoy
