nama om visnu-padaya krsna-presthaya bhu-tale
srimate romapada-svamin iti namine

“I offer my respectful obeisances unto His Holiness Romapada Swami, who is very dear to Lord Krsna, having taken shelter at His lotus feet.”

Dear Guru Maharaja,

I attended sessions by Nityananda Pran Prabhuji at IIT and my first attraction was krsna-prasadam. Prabhuji helped me to build my faith in Krsna consciousness and I am really grateful to him and Hemangi Mataji for their continuous love and guidance. I attended FOHN in 2017 summer and that was the most precious time of my life. That transformed my consciousness totally. I heard your lectures repeatedly so many times after FOHN and felt so grateful. It is only because of you I am trying hard to follow the path of Krsna consciousness. I am grateful to you for showering endless mercy upon me. After my initiation I am feeling so much sheltered and connected. Due to your mercy, I am getting continuous association of devotees. I feel so much love and care from all the devotees that I cannot express that in words. I should mention Sthira Mataji, we associate, do services together and share a nice bond of friendship.

Guru Maharaja, recently I went through emotional up and downs due to my brother’s major surgery and your prayers for him made me stable. I am so grateful to you that I and my family got immense strength to face the situation only because of your shelter and mercy. My family is supporting me a lot in my journey for Krsna consciousness and I would like to extend your mercy and Krsna consciousness towards them. Please bless me so that I can become an instrument.

I am grateful to you and Srila Prabhupada for taking me under your shelter. I am still struggling and working on my anarthas. I am also trying to do offenseless and focused chanting. Guru Maharaja, please bless me and shower your mercy so that I can serve you, Srila Prabhupada and devotees more and more.

Your aspiring servant,
