Hare Kṛṣṇa, Dear Guru Mahārāja!
Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda.
Wishing you a very happy and blessed 75th Vyāsa-pūjā. May your journey in Kṛṣṇa consciousness continue to inspire and uplift many souls. You are always our inspiration in serving the guru-paramparā and fulfilling the instructions of the spiritual master, His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedānta Swami Śrīla Prabhupāda.
Dear Guru Mahārāja,
I am based in Bangalore, KR Puram (Kṛṣṇa Rāja Puram). By the mercy of your divine lotus feet, our entire family is taking baby steps in Kṛṣṇa consciousness—father, mother, wife, and son. Currently, I am rendering services to ISKCON KR Puram under the leadership of HG Varada Kṛṣṇa Prabhu, HG Venu-dharī Prabhu, and HG Veni-mādhava Prabhu. I am serving the ISKCON KR Puram Bhakti Center + BACE in procurement sevā to ensure our Rādhārāṇī Kitchen is filled with provisions of good quality at optimal prices.
Every Saturday, we conduct Bhakti-vṛkṣa at home. My good wife Pallavi cooks prasādam for all the Bhakti-vṛkṣa members (15 devotees), and my son assists me in performing kīrtana at home. On Vaikuṇṭha Ekādaśī, I accompanied devotees and distributed 50 big books and 25 small books in a nearby village called Ālamgiri, at the Śrī Kalki Lakṣmī Veṅkaṭeśvara Svāmī temple. I am also assisting our Bhakti Center leaders as a local yātrā coordinator.
Your mood and mission are always our inspiration. Recently, when the elevator was not working in Māyāpur-dhāma, you came down and gave a Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam class. It was very inspiring, and we learned how to serve Guru’s instructions without any exceptions. Last week, we were so tense about your health, and the very next day, you attended Śrīla Prabhupāda Śravaṇa Utsava and gave Gaura-kathā, which was very inspiring. Your commitment and dedication to Śrīla Prabhupāda’s instructions and devotee care are truly admirable.
Kindly bless us to become the servant of your servant and fulfill your desires unconditionally. I am not very intelligent or wealthy, but I have a strong desire to serve the Food for Life (FFL) program in Kṛṣṇa Rāja Puram (KR Puram). Kindly bless us and give us the strength to serve Śrīla Prabhupāda’s movement under your divine lotus feet.
Your insignificant servant,
