Hare Kṛṣṇa, my most beloved Śrīla Guru Mahārāja,
Please allow me to offer you my sincere obeisances unto your divine lotus feet.
All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda.
All glories to you, Śrīla Ācāryapāda.
All glories to your glorious 76th Vyāsa-pūjā!
mūkaṁ karoti vācālaṁ
paṅguṁ laṅghayate girim
yat-kṛpā tam ahaṁ vande
śrī-guruṁ dīna-tāraṇam
I don't have any quality that I can write a Vyāsa-pūjā offering neatly, but Guru Mahārāja, you have accepted an insignificant girl like me as your spiritual daughter. So I am trying to write. The more I see you, the more I am amazed how you continue to preach Śrīla Prabhupāda's and Mahāprabhu’s words every moment despite your physical condition being so bad.
Praṇāma, Guru Mahārāja.
I am currently moving forward in the life of devotion under the guidance of my śikṣā-guru, His Grace Sundara Vāmana dāsa, and my śikṣā-guruma, Her Grace Ratnāvalī Gopī Devī Dāsī. Their guidance helps me immensely.
Through Kṛṣṇa Bandhu (an online preaching platform run by my guru), I design devotional content online and help new devotees advance in their spiritual lives.
I have been in the bhakti life for four years, but three years ago I suddenly left everything. Then I saw you for the first time in front of Pañca-tattva in Māyāpur, and you also had a glimpse of Āyā. From that day, everything changed for me. That first darśana sent shivers through my entire body.
Guru Mahārāja,
I regularly chant an extra 2–4 malas daily for your health. I pray to Narasiṁha-deva to always protect you, to help you overcome all bodily obstacles, and to allow you to continue spreading the message of Mahāprabhu. I always pray for your long life and good health, Guru Mahārāja.
Taking the words of Śrīla Prabhupāda into your heart, you are saving the jīvas entangled in material bondage. You are the savior of the most fallen jīvas. Always keeping Śrīla Prabhupāda in your heart, your heart is like an ocean of mercy—the ocean in which the mercy of Nityānanda Prabhu flows.
Thank you, Guru Mahārāja, for accepting me and giving me the opportunity to serve you through vāṇī and vapu-sevā.
Your spiritual daughter,
Abhayadāyinī Keśavī Devī Dāsī
