Hare Kṛṣhṇa Dear Guru Mahārāj,
Please accept my humble obeisances at Your lotus feet.
All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda!!!
All glories to You on the auspicious occasion of Your 76th Vyāsa Pūjā!!!
Mukam karoti vācālam, paṅgum laṅghayate girim,
yat kṛipā-tam ahaṁ vande śrī-guruṁ dina-tāranam.
Guru Mahārāj, I don't have any qualification to glorify You, but please accept this humble offering of mine.
Śrī Guru-karuṇā-sindhu, adama-janāra bandhu,
lokanātha-lokera jīvana, hā hā prabhu koro doya, deho more pada-cchāyā, ebe jāsā ghushuk tribhuvana.
Guru Mahārāj, You are an ocean of mercy, the friend of fallen conditioned souls like us.
Mahārāj, in my last Vyāsa Pūjā offering, I was mentioning all the difficulties we were facing and was requesting You to give us initiation.
Guru Mahārāj, You were so compassionate and gave initiation on the 10th of April 2024 to insignificant souls like myself and my prabhu. (Although You were not personally present due to Your health condition, Your disciple His Holiness Bhakti Purushottama Swami Mahārāj gave the initiation beads on Your behalf.)
Our initiated names are:
Sarasvatī Rāsamāyi Devī Dāsī
Ratnamayā Rāmeśa Dāsa
Mahārāj, You are known for giving extraordinary names. Thank You for giving us such beautiful names and for giving us shelter at Your lotus feet.
Guru Mahārāj, please bless us to keep up the vows given to You, and to make progress in our sādhana to advance spiritually. Please bless us to serve You in Your mission of fulfilling Your spiritual master Śrīla Prabhupāda's instructions in whatever little ways possible.
We recently shifted from Dubai (Gaurāṅga-deśa Yātrā) to Bahrain because of my prabhu's transfer to Saudi. Although my prabhu's workplace is in Saudi, it was by Your mercy and the Lord's arrangement that we were able to reside in Bahrain and associate with the wonderful and exalted devotees of Balarāma-deśa.
Guru Mahārāj, I don't know the Lord's plan for us, but my prabhu is being transferred to Abu Dhabi and we have to shift there shortly. My humble request is, wherever we may be situated, please help us to always remain in the association of devotees and under the shade of Your lotus feet.
Guru Mahārāj, please bless our children Surya, Theja, and Caitanya with Kṛṣhṇa-bhakti and help them to progress spiritually.
Guru Mahārāj, our prayers to Śrī Śrī Rādhā-Mādhava, Aṣṭa-sākhīs, Pañca-tattva, and Nṛsiṁha-deva to keep You in good health and continue to inspire conditioned souls like us.
Yours, insignificant daughter,
Sarasvatī Rāsamāyi Devī Dāsī.
