Bhakti Priya devi dasi, Priyanka and Nainika
My dear most respected Spiritual Master and eternal father,
Hare Krsna! Please accept my most humble obeisances to the dust of your most merciful divine lotus feet. All glories unto you and Srila Prabhupada!
om ajnana-timirandhasya jnananjana salakaya
caksur unmilitam yena tasmai sri gurave namah
“I offer my respectful obeisances unto my spiritual master, who has opened my eyes, which were blinded by the darkness of ignorance, with the torchlight of knowledge.”
On this auspicious occasion I pray to Krsna to give You lots of krsna-prema, strength, good health, remove all obstacles in Your mission!
Since so many lifetimes I was suffering in this material existence. I didn’t even realize how much deep the ocean of suffering was, until I came in contact with You. I did not do anything to deserve this kind of mercy that Your grace showers upon me and my daughters. My elder one of Seventeen years, Priyanka has this spiritual connection with You and it makes my heart move in awe and reverence. Your presence in our life transformed us significantly. I cannot explain in words.
The circumstances Krsna gave me lead us to Texas recently and with your permission only I was able to work towards providing a house, and proper facilities, and such great devotee association to my children. Your presence gives me inspiration dear Srila Guru Deva. Your lectures, programs, virtual Vrndavana yatra (I never went to Vrndavana in my life before), and all of these resources You are providing us unqualified insignificant souls are very very precious to us.
The virtual Vrndavana yatra had so much impact in my heart and mind. Every time I see those slides or think of those topics, I just automatically transport to Vrndavana’s realm. Thank you, Guru Maharaja, for giving us such wonderful experiences in this life time, we are eternally indebted to You. Our hearts and mind are Krsna-ized by your Grace.
I am eternally grateful to you my dear spiritual father. The home program You did regarding Srimati Radharani pastimes on September 1st, it brought back the spiritual spark into our lost lives again. It’s like a live wire, every time Your presence brings us close to Krsna.
1. I pray falling at the dust of Your Lotus feet, to give me strength, intelligence, a grateful heart so I can move closer to Krsna.
2. I pray to you to bless me with proper mood so I can serve Vaisnavas.
3. I pray to you to please help me face life with Krsna as center and Krsna as the only purpose.
4. May your blessing help me to overcome greed, pride, envy.
On this auspicious occasion, by Gurudeva’s mercy I am inspired to take a sincere vow to revive my initiation promises, do everything in my energy to serve Krsna’s devotees, improve the chanting of Hare Krsna maha-mantra, develop a simple grateful heart, become attached to Srimad-Bhagavatam, lock Vrndavana pastimes in my heart and soul.
Thank you for your precious time Srila Gurudeva!
Thank you for your causeless mercy!
Your insignificant servant of your servants,
Bhakti Priya devi dasi, Priyanka and Nainika
