“By the mercy of the spiritual master one is benedicted by the mercy of Krsna. Without the grace of the spiritual master, one cannot make any advancement.”
Dear Guru Maharaja,
Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
Guru Maharaja, the past year we had seen so many things happening in the world due to the pandemic. One welcome change is the live broadcast of your lectures wherever it happens. It gives us a sense of being in the location when it happens. It also made me understand that this is what you had been doing for so many decades, day after day – preaching nonstop, pandemic or not, for the benefit of us. Thanks to technology that helped me to understand that in a new dimension. Maharaja, just by watching your live lectures gives great inspiration to become sincere in my Krsna consciousness.
Maharaja, a couple of months ago when Vrajasundari began writing to you, you readily accepted her request. Thank you so much for that. I am happy that she started writing to you and began making loving relationship with you.
Maharaja, on this auspicious day I pray that I become sincere in my sadhana for your and Srila Prabhupada’s pleasure.
Aspiring to be Your servant,

Dear Guru Maharaja,
Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Guru and Gauranga!
Guru Maharaja, I feel humbled by the unsurmountable sacrifice that you are rendering for the benefit of everyone who comes in contact with you. You touch people’s hearts by your example and by your compassion. Every time you describe a pastime, it is fresher and more relishable. I feel fortunate and blessed to have your association, Guru Maharaja.
Guru Maharaja, your concern for executing our services properly is heart touching. When I mentioned about my Sunday school coordinator service to you, you made a valuable and important comment – needing to know the protocol when something inevitable happens with regards to criticism or some decisions to be made regarding Sunday school. I have been putting my careful considerations regarding these. I also seek advice from my husband regularly regarding my service.
Guru Maharaja, on this auspicious day of your Vyasa-puja, I seek your mercy and blessings so that I perform my services in a humble state of mind, depending on Krsna and take shelter at His lotus feet. Without your mercy, I will not be able to achieve this state of mind. Please shower your mercy on me.
Your aspiring servant,
Damni devi dasi
