Hare Kṛṣṇa, Guru Mahārāja,
All glories to Śrī Guru and Gaurāṅga. All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda, the Founder-Ācārya of ISKCON. All glories to His Holiness Jayapatākā Svāmī Ācāryapāda. Please accept my humble obeisances and daṇḍavat praṇāms unto our Guru Mahārāja’s lotus feet.
On the occasion of the 76th Śrī Vyāsa-pūjā Mahotsava of our beloved Guru Mahārāja, I would like to extend my heartfelt wishes:
"All glories to your auspicious appearance day."
At ISKCON Springhill, Port Dickson, which was newly established under the guidance of His Holiness Mukunda Mahārāja, my sevā is mainly focused on developing spiritual awareness among the community and spreading the glories of the Hare Kṛṣṇa mahā-mantra by conducting inspiring activities such as retreats and spiritual camps.
As a newly initiated servant, initiated in October 2024 at Jagannātha Mandir, Kuala Lumpur, I also render service in cooking. Being at the very beginning of my spiritual sevā, I am learning and relishing each step taken in this journey of Kṛṣṇa consciousness.
Inspired by my mother's initiation, Her Grace Kamalā-priyā Devī Dāsī, who is also a disciple of Guru Mahārāja and was initiated sometime in the early 1990s at ISKCON Bahau, Kṛṣṇa has conquered my soul, culminating in my own initiation last year. It was a wonderful moment to meet Guru Mahārāja at the international conference in Johor Bahru, where Guru Mahārāja spoke the holy name of Hari several times.
On this most auspicious appearance day of Guru Mahārāja, I offer my humble obeisances and fervently pray to Śrīla Prabhupāda, Gaura-Nitāi, and Rādhā-Kṛṣṇa to bless Mahārāja with a long life, so we may continue to hear the holy chanting, classes, and inspiring instructions from our Guru Mahārāja.
Your servant,
Kausalyā Vimalā Devī Dāsī
ISKCON Springhill, Port Dickson, Malaysia
