Dear Guru Mahārāja,
Hare Kṛṣṇa!

Gratitude to Guru Mahārāja
Please accept my most humble obeisances. Guru Mahārāja, heartily I offer my congratulations and well-wishes on the occasion of your 76th Vyāsa-pūjā. I am always grateful for your loving association and care.
Dear spiritual father, Guru Mahārāja, our KKD yātrā and I are always praying for your good health, and we are so grateful for your kindness, grace, and presence in our lives. Please continue your guidance for all fallen souls. You are an inspiration not only to your disciples like us but also to the global community of devotees.
Key Teaching Reflection
From your lectures I can understand your inspiration, instructions, and mood. Dear Guru Mahārāja, I will try my best to fulfill your desires and carry the mood of Śrīla Prabhupāda. I have started reading the amazing book Milwaukee to Māyāpur, glorifying your birth and your activities. Hopefully, with your mercy, I will complete the book.
I am currently doing Bhakti-śāstrī, and by your mercy, it is going nicely. I am taking Bhagavad-gītā class for five devotees in India and Qatar. Please bless me, Guru Mahārāja, so I may carry your instructions without any offense.
Offering Service and Commitment
Dear Guru Mahārāja, in our KKD yātrā, my śikṣā-guru and mātājī gave me the service to take KKC classes for children. For the past eight years, I have been conducting this class. Monthly, on Fridays, I also give Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam class in our chakra.
Every day, I read Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam on Zoom with some devotees in India. In India, in our family, my sister installed an altar in her home. Her family—husband and daughter—have started chanting. Please bless her and her family to continue sādhana and sevā without difficulty. My parents are also chanting, Guru Mahārāja.
Dear spiritual father, Guru Mahārāja, please bless me to do more sevā for our KKD yātrā, and also for our śikṣā-gurus and their families, without any struggle. May they all be happy and enthusiastic to do more service in the yātrā. Without them, we cannot do anything—we need their guidance and support always to grow in our spiritual lives.
Closing Prayers
Dear Guru Mahārāja, as I am your daughter, I need your support and guidance. You are my only hope. Now I understand that there is no one else who can truly save me—only Guru and Kṛṣṇa.
I am an unworthy spiritual daughter, Guru Mahārāja, but please, I beg for your support. You are the ocean of mercy—I need just a drop of that mercy upon me and my family. Please guide us. Now I am a surrendered soul unto your lotus feet.
Please bless us so that we may become instruments in your hands to serve Śrīla Prabhupāda’s mission.
Dear Guru Mahārāja, our sins cannot be taken away by our husbands, parents, or children. But by showing a serving attitude and trying to surrender unto the guru-paramparā, you initiate us and take on our sins—and now you are suffering so many health issues because of us.
But still, you never fail to give pravacan, never stop giving initiation or any service to Śrīla Prabhupāda. You came to save us all who are struggling in this material world. You are my great, great, great inspiration. You are my only hope in life.
You are my spiritual father, my guru, my everything…
My sincere prayers are for your good health.
Your humble, unworthy spiritual daughter,
Premeśvarī Padmā Devī Dāsī
