Dear Guru Maharaja,

On this auspicious day of your appearance, I offer my most respectful obeisances at your lotus feet. Though I am not present with you in person, I am trying to convey my love and gratitude in this letter.

You have been my guiding light for two decades. Ever since I moved to Austin, I have received endless association from your wonderful disciples who are now the source of devotee support system for me and my family. As the temple was closed due to the pandemic, life was very hard. However, your short visit, earlier this year to our home rejuvenated us and we all enjoyed your class on Lord Rama.

Over the years, chanting the Hare Krsna maha-mantra and your blessings, have taught me not to stress about things in our day to day lives. On crazy days, I start watching your Facebook live lectures and that helps me get back on track and chant with attention.

With your blessings His Grace Satya-sara Prabhu has engaged us in so many temple activities including fundraising for our new Austin Temple. Everytime, I preach and do fundraising, I seek your blessings and magically funds start flowing in.

My dear Maharaja, you have been sincerely preaching and carrying out Srila Prabhupada’s mission for so many decades for which we are all immensely grateful to you. I am only a drop in the ocean and trying to do my little share. I pray that I am able to balance better between my family and spiritual life to hold on to this matchless gift of Srila Prabhupada eternally.

My immense gratitude to you Maharaja for accepting me and always being there for us.

With endless gratitude,
Suvarna-Manjari devi dasi
