Hare Kṛṣṇa Guru Mahārāja
Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Guru and Gaurāṅga! All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda!
Hare Kṛṣṇa Guru Mahārāja!
Praying for the good health of Guru Mahārāja, let me introduce myself. I am Śobha Yaśodā Devī Dāsī, initiated from Guru Mahārāja on 27th January 2017. My karmic name is Śobha Śrīkumār and I am a member of Dāmodaradeśa congregation.
Guru Mahārāja, it is a great pleasure to do this Vyāsa-pūjā offerings every year. Actually, being in ISKCON and getting initiation from Guru Mahārāja itself is a turning point in my life. By the mercy of Guru Mahārāja, I could study scriptures like Śrīmad Bhagavad-gītā and Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam from authorized śikṣā-gurus even though I could study Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam up to 6th Canto (Bhakti-vaibhava) only. By Guru Mahārāja’s mercy now I am conducting online ladies’ classes and children’s classes to spread the message of Lord Kṛṣṇa, Caitanya Mahāprabhu, and Śrīla Prabhupāda. Whenever I am in Kerala, that time also I can attend satsaṅga and do devotional services because ISKCON took charge of a Śrī Kṛṣṇa temple at Tiruvalla, which is my birthplace under the guidance of His Grace Jagad Śākṣi Prabhu and Ādicandra Prabhu. By supplying Śrīmad Bhagavad-gītā to poor people freely, I could become a part of Bhagavad-gītā distribution yajña during the month of Vaikuṇṭha Ekādaśī. Everything is by the mercy of Guru Mahārāja because I got the opportunity to do sevā in Dāmodaradeśa and Kerala. Also, by your mercy, I am able to follow the regulative principles wherever I am staying.
Guru Mahārāja, please bless me to continue to do more devotional services and not to be back from this organization at any circumstances. Praying for the good health and speedy discovery of Guru Mahārāja.
Thank you, Guru Mahārāja, Hare Kṛṣṇa
Your humble servant,
Śobha Yaśodā Devī Dāsī
