Please accept my most respectful obeisances. All Glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda! All Glories to you Śrīla Gurudeva!
Hare Kṛṣṇa Guru Mahārāja,
I am blessed to have this opportunity to glorify you on this blissful occasion of your Vyāsa-pūjā. I had this blissful opportunity to take your darśana and blessings last year on 2nd October when you had visited Bangalore for the inauguration of the new temple.
This was my first time seeking your blessings and I would say it was one of the best memory I would never forget in this life time. I joined this Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement 2 years ago. I’m currently doing Bhakti-vṛkṣa Kṛṣṇa-sevaka stage. My mom has been devotee for almost 7 years but due to some barriers she is also not able to progress to further steps. My dad is also positive about us following Kṛṣṇa consciousness. I have a younger sister and she also chants 4 rounds everyday. I’m currently chanting 10 rounds everyday and will definitely increase it to 16 rounds in the upcoming days and I’m also praying to Narasiṁhadeva for your better health. In future I would like to be your sincere disciple and follow the path set by Śrīla Prabhupāda. I’m aspiring to take initiation from you, please bless me and family to surrender unto your lotus feet.
Your insignificant servant,
Renuka
