My Dear Guru Mahārāja,
Please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet.
All glories to you on your auspicious appearance day. On this sacred occasion, I sincerely pray to Their Lordships Śrī Śrī Rādhā-Mādhava, Gaura-Nitāi, Lord Jagannātha, Baladeva, and Subhadrā Mājī for your good health and long life.
Although I have no qualification to glorify you, Mahārāja, I still wish to try, for I am most fortunate to be a part of your spiritual family.
I have faced many hardships over the past few years, but your divine visit to the Vijayawada temple in 2022 has significantly transformed my life. Since then, I have engaged in various services in the temple—garland-making, Rāja-bhoga service to Lord Jagannātha, Śrī Rādhā-Śyāmasundara, and also book distribution. By your mercy, I have received the association of sincere devotees, which has helped me progress steadily on the path of bhakti.
Your daily schedule of reading śāstra is an inspiration and motivation for so many of us. With that inspiration, I have started reading Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam and Caitanya-caritāmṛta regularly with my godsisters. As per your instruction, I also observed Bhīṣma Pañcaka strictly this year, again by your causeless mercy.
In August 2024, I moved to the UAE and connected with the Gaurāṅga Deśa Yātrā. I humbly seek your blessings, Mahārāja, to actively participate in all the yātrā services with dedication and enthusiasm.
I also beg you to kindly forgive me for the innumerable offenses I may have committed—knowingly or unknowingly—and bless me so that I may overcome my anarthas and advance steadily on the path of pure devotional service.
Your insignificant disciple,
