Hare Kṛṣṇa and koṭi-koṭi pañcāṅga praṇām, Guru Mahārāja!
I am Sanātanī Prema-devī dāsī from Himachal Pradesh.
I offer my sincere prayers to Lord Jagannātha and Gaura-Nitāi for your good health, Guru Mahārāja, and that your causeless mercy may continue to shower upon devotees all over the world.
Just as a drowning person clings to a straw for support, you, Guru Mahārāja, are that life-saving shelter for me. I had a deep desire to receive dīkṣā from you, and by your divine mercy, I was called to Śrīdhāma Māyāpur. Everything was arranged miraculously within just two days!
I desired to render some service there but didn’t know whom to approach or how to begin, as I didn’t know anyone in Māyāpur. In that moment, I simply prayed to you, Guru Mahārāja, saying, “There are 200–300 people here, do you know that I too have come and wish to serve you? I have committed many sins knowingly and unknowingly. Will someone like me ever get a chance to serve you?”
And, dear Guru Mahārāja, you heard my prayer! I was blessed with an opportunity to serve.
From the bottom of my heart, I offer millions of thanks to you, Guru Mahārāja, for being my shelter and guide in life. I pray that you continue to shower your mercy upon everyone, and take all souls into your divine shelter.
Jaya Gurudeva!
Your insignificant servant,
Sanātanī Prema-devī dāsī
