Dear Beloved Guru Mahārāja,
Please accept our most respectful obeisances in the dust of your lotus feet on this Divine Appearance Day of yours. All Glories, All Glories to Your Holiness.
All Glories, All Glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda, the Founder Ācārya of International Society for Kṛṣṇa Consciousness in whose propagated path you traverse so wonderfully despite the so-called physiological constraint you are to experience due to your medical condition.
This is the first time I am writing a letter to you. First of all, I wish you a very, very happy Kṛṣṇa consciousness Vyāsa-pūjā.
May you by the mercy of Śrī Rādhā Mādhava, Śrī Śrī Pañca-tattva, Narasiṁhadeva and Śrīla Prabhupāda live a thousand of years inspiring and delivering millions of people
You are indeed a Mahā Bhāgavata devotee who has transcended all physiological limitations beyond general realm of tolerance. It is our great fortune that myself and my wife are your aspirant devotee moving forward to take shelter in your lotus feet soon due to Your causeless mercy.
On this auspicious day of your divine descent into this world of duplicity, the heart blossoms with thoughts of gratitude to Your lotus feet which have sheltered me despite my inadequacies and enabled me to live amid those souls who are sincerely dedicated to serving Your Holiness.
I would like to let you know Guru Maharaj, by your mercy, when we joining in Kṛṣṇa consciousness under the Kṛṣṇa-kathā Deśa, immediately started following the 4 regulative principles strictly and within 1 years, after qualifying aspirant course, I have started taking new "Bhakti-vṛkṣa Satsaṅga" among 15-20 new devotee to fulfil the desire and mission of Śrīla Prabhupāda.
In your shelter I always feel secured and protected away from the material miseries like a child always feels protected in his or her parents shelter. I know, I’m not worth of being in your shelter for possessing a lot of internal enemies like greed, false ego, and lots of offences unto devotees. Please bless me with a drop of transcendental taste so that I can always serve you and Gaurāṅga even more. Your immense love for Guru and Gaurāṅga is continuously pouring and is very significant through your thoughts and activities. Please, please forgive me.
Therefore, at last, on this auspicious and glorious day of your appearance, I implore you to continue to shelter me under your lotus feet.
Your insignificant servant
