Please accept my most respectful obeisances at the dust of your Lotus feet ,
All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda,
All glories to Your Divine Grace,
Today is a great occasion for all of us to celebrate your 76th Vyasa Puja and to reflect on my good fortune with immense gratitude for having received you as my spiritual master. Surely this is the causeless mercy of yours that i became a part of ISKCON family.
Gurudeva, your glories are unlimited and do not know where to start and where to end. It is immense joy as a disciple to glorify a spiritual master like you. Gurumaharaj, Your dedication to your spiritual master is exemplary. You are a living legend of our times showing all of us how much a disciple must serve his Guru's instructions at all conditions. You are a perfect example of cooperation and dedication in spreading Krsna Consciousness movement all over the world by trying to fulfill all the Srila Prabhupada's Instructions given to you. By your own example you are showing all of us how to love, serve, tolerate and appreciate devotees despite any differences we may have in executing services. Your preaching strategies are very innovative and inspiring as we see you always preaching to nurses, doctors, security guards, etc.by distributing clickers, dry prasadam, not leaving any opportunity in spreading Krsna Consciousness to each and every soul. This shows your unlimited compassion which is one of the greatest quality of a spiritual master. The zeal with which you go on to fulfill your mission is a great inspiration to all of us to keep up with the undying spirit of enthusiasm inspite of all odds.
Gurudeva, you are always transcendental in your speech, words and actions. You are my aspirational role model. Your instructions to all us in your lectures to assist you in various projects and initiatives is giving us an opportunity to engage ourselves in your service to make our life successful. Your encouragement to read Srila Prabhupada books by enrolling in Bhakti sastri, Bhakti vaibhava,etc. courses shown by your own example is a great inspiration to all of us to emulate. Your tireless efforts in rennovating temples and establishing Caitanya Mahaprabhu foot prints in many holy places by reconnecting the world with the legacy of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu and his associates shows your selfless service attitude to your great spiritual master and beloved founder acarya, Srila Prabhupada.
Gurudeva, by your mercy I am continuing my services heading Balyaseva department here in Krsna Katha Desh, doing teaching and preaching children, matajis, families. Presently i am doing Bhakti Vaibhava Module 2, recently completed Bhakti Vibhava module 1 and also TTC 1 & 2 courses from MI. With your blessings, on Feb 3rd 2025, our elder daughter and your grand disciple Gopika Radha rani's wedding happened at Hyderabad under the presence of all vaishnavas,vaishnavis, family members & friends. I am also happy to share with you that our second daughter Bhaktin Gowri also completed the Shelter Process in yatra level aspiring to be your initiated disciple in the coming years to assist you in spreading Krsna consciousness. Seeking your special blessings for her on this auspicious day.
On this auspicious day, I beg your Holiness to bless me with Guru bhakti which is the perfection of life and also to shower your mercy & blessings to perform my daily Sadhana and to continue my services here with the same enthusiasm and zeal under your guidance and protection without any negligence.
I offer my prayers at the Lotus feet of Sri Sri Radha Madhav and Asta-Sakhis, Sri Sri Panchatattva and Sri Prahlada Narasimha dev, to bless your Holiness with good health so that we may continue to have your transcendental association & guidance always.
Your spiritual daughter,
Leela Kirtaneswari Devi Dasi
