Dearest Beloved Guru Mahārāja,
Please accept my humble obeisances at the dust of your lotus feet! All glories to Your Divine Grace. All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda!
It is stated in Bhagavad-gītā (9.2) The process of devotional service is su-sukhaṁ kartum avyayam that is everlasting and overjoying. In spite of Guru Mahārāja being in his dilapidated condition, his consciousness is always pure, and his activities are also transcendental and are performed with happiness. It is confirmed in Vedic literature that ācāryavān puruṣo veda. However, a person uneducated in Vedas, in association with great ācāryas can become familiar with knowledge necessary for self-realization. Please give me some intelligence so that at least I can attempt to glorify you although I’m absolutely not fit to do so. Despite of such bodily limitation your focus your sincerity towards fulfillment of Prabhupāda’s mission has never stopped. You still continue to deliver the most-most fallen souls like me by distributing love for godhead. You are an embodiment of mercy and humility. Like the sun never fails to spread its sunshine and energy all around even on a rainy or a thunderstorm day like that in spite of so many ups and downs in your health condition you continue to travel spread mercy and love of Gaurāṅga. You are always inspiring me in many ways.
One is Your Divine Grace’s position as my Spiritual father. Over the years because of trying to serve you in different ways that Kṛṣṇa has permitted, my relationship with you Guru Mahārāja has deepened and my desire to serve you more and more has also deepened. There are many devotees who I am inspired by in my Kṛṣṇa Consciousness and want to serve them as well with my life and soul but the position of having you as my Spiritual father seems to come from developing a relationship over years of service.
I am very pleased to inform you Guru Mahārāja by your blessing last year I joined Kṛṣṇa-kathā Deśa movement, now qualified Aspirant course, following 4 regulative principles strictly, attending Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, Bhagavad-gītā class regularly, observing Ekādaśī prasādā and eating Kṛṣṇa-prasādā only.
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.
Seeking for your mercy the most, most fallen soul,
Your Daughter
