Hare Kṛṣṇa, Dear Guru Mahārāja,
Please accept my humble obeisances.
Dear Guru Mahārāja, we are praying every day to Lord Narasiṁhadeva for your good health.
The kids are doing well. Only my daughter, Vaiṣṇavī, is a little worried about her studies. By your mercy, my mother-in-law has started chanting—slowly, but there is some visible change.
By your mercy, I received festival decoration sevā in our yātrā. I recently underwent an operation, but again, by your mercy, I am okay now.
I have also started a Bālotsava class. Two children received “Outstanding” awards in a śloka competition, and one girl received an “Outstanding” award in an external Sanskrit śloka competition. The kids are very enthusiastic, and their parents are very cooperative. Guru Mahārāja, please bless them all.
I am trying to chant the Bhāgavatam stutis every day, although sometimes I miss. On festival days, I try to chant more.
Guru Mahārāja, my son Mukunda is now 12 years old. In our family tradition, the upanayanam is usually done at the age of 9, but due to the pandemic and my daughter’s board exams, it got delayed. Please bless him so that we may be able to perform his upanayanam this year.
Guru Mahārāja, I wish to start a Bhakti-vṛkṣa class, but I am a little scared about whether I’ll be able to manage the time—since the kids are growing up, household duties are increasing, and there are many other services here and also in India. Please bless me with a little more strength so I can do more and more sevā.
Guru Mahārāja, I don't always know what to ask or what to share with you. Please forgive me if I have said anything inappropriate.
My parents named me Prīti after a singer, and I used to get upset with my mother for giving me such a common name. I always wanted to change it. But you transformed my ordinary name into something special and beautiful—Pritivardhinī. Thank you so much, Guru Mahārāja.
Your spiritual daughter,
Prītivardhinī Tulasī Devī Dāsī
