Dear Guru Mahārāja,
All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda!
All glories to your divine services, Guru Mahārāja!
Please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet.

I feel immensely blessed to be under your caring shelter, Guru Mahārāja. You have mercifully accepted a fallen soul like me as your sheltered spiritual daughter. Your compassion for your disciples is unparalleled. It is only because of you, Guru Mahārāja, that people like me, living in Kṛṣṇa-kathā Deśa (KKD), have come to know who Lord Kṛṣṇa is and have been able to learn His teachings in the Bhagavad-gītā and read the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam. From nowhere, I have come to this stage of life, only due to your causeless mercy. I am eternally grateful to you, Guru Mahārāja.
You are a great source of inspiration for me. Tirelessly, you continue to fulfill Śrīla Prabhupāda’s mission, just as your Spiritual Father did. Even amidst your busy schedule, you take time to respond to your disciples’ queries and are always thinking of our eternal welfare. Whenever I feel disheartened, I think about you, Guru Mahārāja—how, despite all obstacles, you continue handling Herculean tasks. This gives me strength and encouragement to overcome negative feelings and refocus on my spiritual journey.
At present, I am studying Bhakti-śāstrī under my śikṣā-guru, H.G. Hari Kīrtan Rañjana Dāsa Prabhu. I am also conducting children’s classes in Kṛṣṇa-kathā Deśa (KKD) and attending the online congregational morning chanting sessions happening daily.
Guru Mahārāja, I am committed to following your instructions. Please forgive me for my offenses and bless me so that I may receive initiation soon. Additionally, I desire to start a Bhakti-vṛkṣa program to expand your glorious mission.
I sincerely beg for your blessings to give me the strength to overcome all obstacles, serve devotees humbly, and attain Kṛṣṇa-prema. Please bless me with courage, confidence, and the ability to take up all the services that come my way.
Although I am very insignificant, I aspire to contribute in whatever way possible to fulfill your mission and thereby Śrīla Prabhupāda’s mission.
On this most auspicious occasion of your Vyāsa-pūjā, I pray to Śrī Śrī Rādhā-Mādhava and Śrī Śrī Prahlāda-Nṛsiṁhadeva for your good health and a long life so that you may continue fulfilling your glorious mission.
