Hare Kṛṣṇa,
Please accept my respectful obeisances. All Glories to Jagad Guru Śrīla Prabhupāda and all Glories to your Loving Divine Grace. All Glories to your Auspicious Appearance day.
Dearest Śrīla Guru Mahārāja,
Please accept my respectful daṇḍvat praṇāmas.
We wish you very happy Vyāsa-pūjā and we pray to Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī for many happy returns for this auspicious day.
Guru Mahārāja every day we get inspired by your efforts of inspiring and encouraging us through continuous updates on JPS App.
You very merciful accepted fallen persons like us, we had the fortune to get your association twice, once in Ahmedabad were you gave shelter to my pregnant wife Ānandamayī Śaśilekhā devī dāsī and in Mumbai you blessed me and her initiation considering her situation.
You mercifully wait and give chance for many disciples like us for getting your divine shelter and protection, even forgetting your health issues and your fulfilled commitment of making disciples as instructed from Śrīla Prabhupāda.
Guru Mahārāja, your untiring efforts of studying śāstras and receiving Bhakti degrees is surely inspiring and encouraging for me and many devotees. Seek your blessings so we also follow you and take up study of Śrīla Prabhupāda books seriously.
Guru Mahārāja by your mercy and blessings I got married last year and we are expecting a baby and I got second Initiation blessings from you, although I feel am not qualified for this responsibility.
Still to please you as you often say you want devotees to become gṛhastha paramahaṁsa devotees so request you on this auspicious Vyāsa-pūjā day to please bless me and my family so we try to follow your instruction and to serve you with our honest and sincere efforts.
As compared to previous year now my life has changed from bachelor to gṛhastha so I am trying to manage time and take association in the form of online Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam class and try to visit Śrī Rādhā Giridhārī temple Mira Road Mumbai on Sundays.
I try to serve in devotee care group through Book Distribution, Nagara-saṅkīrtana, kitchen service. Since sometime, I am struggling to be consistent in gṛhastha āśrama sādhana as my mother was treated with Angioplasty recently and wife is pregnant and so I am trying to again become consistent for this seek your mercy for forgiving me and blessings for potency to fulfill your instructions.
Guru Mahārāja, I am taking association of His Grace Ānanda Vṛndāvana Prabhujī through Zoom japa session which is helping me to become sincerely consistent in chanting.
Guru Mahārāja, we tried to have Dāmodara ārati at our relatives houses we were able to perform Dāmodara ārati in some houses and everyday at our house also.
We are experiencing difficulties in trying to balance relationship and at same time preaching Kṛṣṇa consciousness to our near and dear ones but in this seek your blessings to follow our sādhana and practice what we preach then preach and inspire our family members towards Kṛṣṇa consciousness.
Dear Guru Mahārāja, we seek your blessings so we try to follow your instructions and we stay in association of devotees in serving to please you.
Please forgive me as because of my mistakes you had to suffer, seek your mercy to follow your instructions nicely and dedicate our prayers and efforts for your good health and long life.
Your unqualified insignificant servants,
Jīvapāvana Gaura dāsa.
