Dear Gurudeva,
Please accept my respectful obeisances at Your Divine lotus feet. All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda. All glories to you on the auspicious occasion of your 75th Vyāsa-pūjā.
Wishing you a wonderful appearance day dearest Guru Mahārāja! All glories to your auspicious appearance day!
I feel incredibly blessed to have received Your Divine darśana over the past year, dear Guru Mahārāja. The joyous occasions of your visit to Bangalore for the new temple opening and the subsequent darśana at Śrī Narsiṁha Giridhārī Mandir are etched in our hearts. Although we eagerly awaited your visit to New Rājāpur Jagannātha Dhāma, understanding your health constraints and time limitations, we accepted the situation with heavy hearts and continued to fervently pray for your visit.
To our pleasant surprise, you planned a visit to New Rājāpur Jagannātha Dhāma after your Mangalore visit. Welcoming you to our temple was an unparalleled experience, and serving you and your servants brought immeasurable joy. I express my deepest gratitude for your causeless mercy, dear Guru Mahārāja. Participating in the historic events of Mahāprabhu’s lotus feet abhiṣeka and our New Rājāpur Lordships’ Snāna-yātrā in your presence was truly blissful.
I’m very grateful for your dear disciples, His Grace Caitanya Avatarī Prabhu, Her Grace Rasamayī Mātājī, and His Grace Vaiṣṇavānanda Nitāi Prabhu. They have been exceptional guides, seamlessly carrying forward your mood and engaging us in your service. Under their invaluable guidance, I am set to enter the gṛhastha-āśrama on March 27, 2023. Seeking your blessings for this new phase of my life, dear Guru Mahārāja, I earnestly pray to serve you wholeheartedly and contribute to Śrīla Prabhupāda’s mission alongside my future husband, Kṛṣṇarūpa Gaura Dāsa, who is also your devoted disciple.
Your unwavering dedication to serve Śrīla Prabhupāda is very inspiring dear Guru Mahārāja. To see you travel so far and wide preaching the message of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu and taking this movement forward is exceptional. Praying for your good health so that we get Your Divine association and teachings for many more years dear Guru Mahārāja.
Grateful to you for all that you do for us dear Guru Mahārāja, without your mercy and blessings life would be so worthless. I’m ever indebted to you. It is only by your mercy that fallen souls like myself can be uplifted.
Your insignificant daughter,
Sudevī Sunayana Devī Dāsī (Dīkṣā)
