Hare Kṛṣṇa Guru Maharaj,
Please accept my humble obeisance unto your lotus feet!
All glories to All Vaiṣṇavas! All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda!!
All glories to your auspicious appearance day!
We thank Guru and Gaurāṅga for giving an opportunity to glorify you. Please bless us so that we can follow strictly Kṛṣṇa Conscious principles in our life. We get the inspiration for this proverb “Die before you die” from you, Guru Mahārāja. How much we try hard we are not able to give up the attachment to this body and family life. Please bless us so that we can also give up enviousness and attachment to this worldly life.
We are trying hard to follow your instructions: don’t find fault with anyone, don’t be envious of other devotees sevas; We will achieve these qualities before this lifetime if we have your blessings Guru Mahārāja.
We got an opportunity to pay obeisance to you with our family in Chennai during Feb 2019. We were astonished to see you giving lengthy class, answering complex questions instantly with humor even though you were undergoing through various tribulations.
To please you, we are trying to constantly engage in preaching work. Week days we strictly finish our chanting in the morning before breakfast. We daily hear one lecture, attend morning and evening ārati at home. During office hours, engage in hearing Bhāgavatam lectures at least 20 minutes. In the week ends: we are attending 2 classes, we are giving 2 classes, out of which one class is dedicated for kids preaching from the age of 6–15 years (15 students coming). During kids’ class, we have discussed Bhagavad-gītā ślokas (25), Īśopaniṣad (7 mantras), Nectar of Instruction (3 ślokas) in the last 3 years so far.
Please give us strength so that we can also do preaching at our capacity without any stoppage of doing congregation preaching for small reasons like health issue, family issue etc. Please give us your mercy continuously so that we will be able to help at least one child to understand and adopt Kṛṣṇa Consciousness in his or her life.
Please bless us so that we are empowered to continuously engage in these classes and get us submerged into kids and youth preaching activities.
Please bless us so that we can also sacrifice our lives as you have sacrificed for the mission of His Divine Grace Śrīla Prabhupāda. Without your mercy, we are not empowered to preach the teachings of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu.
Śaṅkarī (my wife) had taken shelter from you this year, though we got married on 2003. We had lot of struggles initial years of our marriage since she was from Śaivite (Lord Śiva) background. By your mercy, there are lot of positive Kṛṣṇa Conscious winds very recently. Please bless us so that these positive winds will continue, and she can be qualified to take Harināma initiation from you to get fixed in Kṛṣṇa Conscious life.
Please bless me (Sundara Murāri dāsa) so that I can get brahminical qualities, even though I am very far from getting these qualities in this lifetime. Please bless our children Hariṇī (chanting 16 rounds) and Hāsinī (chanting 8 rounds) to be in Kṛṣṇa Conscious life always. We only need your blessings to nullify all the offenses we committed knowingly and unknowingly to Vaiṣṇavas.
Thank you,
Your Servants,
