Our Dear and Respected Guru Maharaja,

Please accept our humble obeisances at your divine lotus feet. All glories to Your Divine Grace. All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

Guru Maharaja, on this auspicious occasion of your Vyasa-puja, we want to express our deepest gratitude for your causeless mercy. Without your mercy and compassion, we would be lost in the laps of maya.

This year has been a year of struggles for our family with the passing of my dear nephew Caitanya prabhu. Your kindness was a shining example in our lives by way of your continuous support. We were touched by your genuine care despite our deficiencies.

Guru Maharaja, you have given us so many opportunities to grow in our spiritual journey in the form of yatras, retreats, and endless recordings, yet we are not able to make good use of these valuable arrangements for our advancement. We are extremely fortunate for the shelter you provided to us through your instructions, prayers, and blessings.

Guru Maharaja, please continue to give us blessings so we can serve the lotus feet of the devotees, maintain steadiness in our japa, and strive to be faithful and loyal to your instructions.

Your aspiring servants,
Bhakta Gopaul and Rukmini Priya devi dasi
