Vyāsa-pūjā 2024

Penelope Alexander ( - United Kingdom)

My dear spiritual father, Śrīla Gurumahārāja,

Please accept my respectful obeisances.
All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda.
All glories to Your Divine Grace.

Despite many physical challenges with your health, you have spread the glories of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu all over the world. You have never let anything stop you from serving Śrīla Prabhupāda and his mission. During the lockdowns, you gave daily classes on Caitanya-caritāmṛta and visited each one of our houses on Zoom. Recently, you were in the ICU and still spoke at your initiation ceremony in Vṛndāvana on Zoom.

I'm not nearly grateful enough to you for your time and care. You said my name almost every day in your home visits, even though there were hundreds of your disciples present and I haven’t even taken shelter. Thank you for visiting my house every day — I was probably the most Kṛṣṇa conscious I’ve ever been during those years.

Although I’m nowhere near qualified for your mercy and never will be, please bless me that I may take shelter of your lotus feet and eventually take initiation from you.

Your aspiring spiritual daughter,
Penelope Alexander (Penny)
Reading, England
