Hare Kṛṣṇa dear Guru Mahārāja,
Please accept my humble obeisances Guru Mahārāja. All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda! All glories to you Guru Mahārāja!
This is my first Vyāsa-pūjā offering and I sincerely seek your forgiveness if I write anything wrong.
I sincerely thank Kṛṣṇa for sending you for us. I still cannot believe that I got initiated and I got your protection. Devotees used to say to me Guru Mahārāja is so merciful and compassionate but for me it is confirmed when you gave initiation to me because I am the most fallen soul who is full with all faults.
You are showing your mercy from day one of my initiation in so many ways. I got a chance to serve you personally on day one and got a chance to keep your padukas (shoes) on my head and got a chance to see you continuous four days. And in airport while you are leaving I was seeing you and there were many devotees and was having a desire I want my Guru Mahārāja to bless me and before you left for boarding you looked at me and I felt this is the wonderful moment in my life.
I am trying my best to keep my vows of initiation and sincerely asking your blessings to keep my vows for my entire life and not commit any offenses to any devotees.
Whenever I am stuck with an issue or struggling with some issue, you come to me via class or via monthly message or via devotees and help me in everything.
And my 4 year kid Śrī Vṛndā is saying to her friend, can you say Guru Mahārāja Jayapatākā Mahārāja kī Jaya!! That is one of the happiest moment and I sincerely pray to you and Kṛṣṇa that she will get initiated with you when she is eligible.
You attract everyone and anyone, be they are kids, youth, middle age or old age.
I really want to do something for you and I am really not understanding what to do. I am confused. I sincerely ask you to instruct me on what I can do for you and how I can serve you. I owe you so much and you are my spiritual father but I am not doing much for you. Please instruct me.
And again asking your forgiveness if I have written anything wrong.
Praying to Lord Narasiṁhadeva to protect you and remove obstacles from your service.
Guru Mahārāja appearance day kī Jaya!! Vyāsa-pūjā Mahotsav kī! Jaya!!
Your Servant,
