Dear Guru Mahārāja,
All glories to Śrī Guru and Gaurāṅga!
All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda!
Please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet, Guru Mahārāja.
nama oṁ viṣṇu-pādāya kṛṣṇa-preṣṭhāya bhū-tale
śrīmate jayapatākā svāmin iti nāmine
nama ācārya-pādāya nitāi-kṛpā-pradāyine
gaura-kathā-dhāmā-dayā nagara-grāma-tāriṇe
On this sacred day of your Vyāsa-pūjā, I offer my heartfelt gratitude to my Guru Mahārāja, who has always guided me like a shining light in darkness. Thank you for your patience, wisdom, and boundless kindness. Your words are a continuous source of inspiration and strength for me. Your presence in our lives is the very embodiment of Śrīla Prabhupāda’s mercy.
Last year, on this same auspicious Ekādaśī day, we received dīkṣā from you in Śrīdhāma Māyāpur. Today, on this blessed anniversary, I once again bow at your lotus feet with deep reverence and gratitude. I am truly blessed to have a guru like you in my life, and I humbly beg for your blessings so I may continue in devotional service, aspiring for Kṛṣṇa-prema.
My Current Commitments in Service:
-
By your blessings, I am conducting a Pāṭhaśālā class for children (Chintu Gopāla).
-
I am also facilitating a Bhakti-vṛkṣa program.
-
I lead reading sessions for māta-jīs, including Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, Rāmāyaṇa, and other devotional texts.
-
I assist my śikṣā-guru, Hari Kīrtana Rañjana dāsa, by recording his Bhakti-śāstrī classes.
-
I support prasādam-sevā for all Cakra programs.
-
I am sincerely trying to reach out to new souls, sharing the eternal wisdom of ātmā-jñāna (spiritual knowledge of the self).
Despite my best efforts, I find it difficult to manage time consistently due to material distractions. Guru Mahārāja, please bless me with strength and focus so that I may remain steady in service to you and the senior devotees, always.
On this most auspicious occasion of your 76th Vyāsa-pūjā, I fervently pray to:
-
Śrī Śrī Gaurāṅga and Nityānanda,
-
Śrī Śrī Rādhā-Mādhava,
-
Śrī Śrī Prahlāda-Nṛsiṁhadeva,
for your continued good health and long life, so that you may go on guiding countless souls on the path of bhakti with your divine compassion and unwavering commitment to Śrīla Prabhupāda’s mission.
I humbly beg for your blessings so that I may always remain engaged in your service, taking shelter at your divine lotus feet.
Your daughter,
Keśavī Vilāsinī Devī Dāsī
Kṛṣṇa-kathā Deśa
