Dear Guru Mahārāja, I humbly offer my most respectful obeisances unto your divine lotus feet on this sacred occasion of Vyāsa-pūjā.
All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda! On this auspicious day, I am filled with profound gratitude and deep reverence for your divine presence in my life. Your guidance and teachings have illuminated my spiritual path, transforming my existence with boundless love and wisdom. Since joining the ISKCON NRJD community in 2022, I have been blessed to witness the flourishing of devotional activities under your divine shelter. Your visit during the temple opening infused our hearts with joy and inspiration, igniting a vibrant spiritual atmosphere that continues to attract devotees from far and wide. With your divine blessings, our community has grown exponentially, hosting daily congregational gatherings and vibrant Sunday festivals that welcome hundreds of devotees. Each day feels like a joyous celebration, a testament to your divine grace and blessings. Under the loving guidance of esteemed senior devotees such as His Grace Caitanya Avatārī Prabhu, Her Grace Rasamayī Mātājī, and Vaiṣṇavānada Nitāi Prabhu, I am striving to serve The Lordships Jagannātha, Baladeva, Subhadrā, Sudarśana, Nitāi Gauracandra with sincerity and devotion. Their exemplary leadership inspires me to deepen my commitment to devotional service.
I wish to humbly inform you about my sister Jyotirmayī Kauśalyā Devī Dāsī and her husband Pāvana Nitāi Dāsa. They entered into wedlock in 2017 but are currently facing challenging times in their marital journey. However, amidst these trials, they have recently received the divine benediction of second initiation from Your Divine Grace. I earnestly pray at your lotus feet, dear Guru Mahārāja, that both Jyotirmayī Kauśalyā Devī Dāsī and Pāvana Nitāi Dāsa find solace and strength in their devotion to your service, under the loving guidance of senior Vaiṣṇavas.
I am thrilled to share with you a momentous milestone in my life. On the auspicious day of 27th March 2024, I am preparing to embark upon the sacred journey of gṛhastha-āśrama as I unite in marriage with Sudevī Sunayana Devī Dāsī. It fills my heart with immense gratitude to recall that she and I both received initiation from Your Divine lotus feet on the same blessed day, 29th September 2019. Our union has been sanctified by the guidance and blessings of esteemed senior devotees, including His Grace Caitanya Avatārī Prabhu, HG Rasamayi Mātājī, and Vaishnanad Nitāi Prabhu. With their invaluable mentorship and Your Divine blessings, we have earnestly undertaken all preparations for our marriage, including the completion of the marriage questionnaire. I pray with folded hands, Guru Mahārāja, that Sudevī Sunayana Devī Dāsī and I may walk together on the path of devotion, always seeking to follow your instructions and serve under the guidance of our respected seniors.
As an enthusiastic member of the youth group, I am eager to contribute more to youth preaching initiatives within our community. With your blessings, I pray for the opportunity to inspire and guide fellow youths on their spiritual journey. We wrote the marriage questionnaire. And all the marriage affairs are happening under the guidance of His Grace Caitanya Avatārī Prabhu, Her Grace Rasamayī Mātājī and Vaiṣṇavānanda Nitāi Prabhu. I pray that both of us follow your instructions and always be in your service under the guidance of seniors.
On this blessed occasion, as we celebrate Your Divine appearance day, our hearts overflow with gratitude and devotion. We offer our heartfelt prayers for your good health and well-being, knowing that your continued presence is the greatest blessing in our lives.
Your insignificant and ever-grateful disciple,
Kṛṣṇarūpa Gaura Dāsa
