Mangala dasa and Isani devi dasi

Honorable Guru Maharaja,

Please accept our humble obeisances at your lotus feet. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. All glories to you.

Guru Maharaja, on this most auspicious occasion of your Vyasa-puja, we thank you for all the wonderful gifts you have given us to utilize this human form of life. Due to your glorious presence in our lives, our hearts become fearless while walking through the path, else there are precarious situations at every step of life in this material world. The transcendental sound vibrations we receive from you instill hope and confidence that our hearts will get transformed. You so mercifully took us on many yatras to holy dhamas, where we heard the pastimes of the Lord on the very places it took place. Hearing those pastimes attracts our mind and the spiritual impressions last in our consciousness, which keep inspiring us. We cherish hearing those wonderful narrations from you during yatras.

Your compassion for the jivas is matchless. You make so many arrangements in our life so that we receive Krsna consciousness happily. The loving and supportive guidance of Jagadananda Prabhu and Ananda Vrndavana Mataji helps in training our mind, accepting favorable things, and rejecting unfavorable ones. Whenever we experience emotional blockages, we have the opportunity to seek help of Krsna Lila Mataji, which is a great benediction. Guru Maharaja, you are so committed to the relationships with your disciples as well as devotees under your care that we feel your personal care. As are the senior devotees we have in our life, may we always be eager to receive what is being offered to us so mercifully and remain grateful forever.

We thank you for the gift of devotee family. Their association plays an important role in the survival of our Krsna consciousness journey. Being with them, we learn to become humble and honor the gift of Holy Name in our lives. You so wonderfully inspire us to deepen our relationship with the Holy Name. May it become the purpose of our very existence.

Guru Maharaja, we humbly seek your blessings that we become sincere in our sadhana. We pray that we follow your teachings nicely and become your good disciples.

With respect and gratitude, your servants,
