Our dear and respected Guru Maharaja,
Please accept our most humble and respected obeisances in the dust of your divine lotus feet!
All glories to Your Divine Grace! All glories to Srila Prabhupada!
Guru Maharaja, in Your service to Srila Prabhupada and in Your plans to carry this legacy forward, during Your last Vyasa-puja celebration You arranged for various sessions and opportunities for the devotees to go deeper into their daily practices. This shows how much You care for the legacy of Srila Prabhupada’s movement and how much love and care You have for all who are connected to You. We joined two such groups and trying our best to implement those instructions in our daily practices. Most of the time we fail and sometimes we have a little success. We have hope that one day, by Your blessings and mercy, we can apply those teachings and live our lives for the pleasure of guru and Krsna.
In one of the Vyasa-puja celebrations, devotees expressed their desire to arrange for a yatra to Badrinath and this year You arranged for it even though it involves lots of challenges compared to any other yatra. That shows us how much care and love You have for us.
Your daily classes looks like a big ocean to us, we are like little birds trying to take a drop from that ocean of mercy. When we try to apply that drop in our lives, we get a lot of benefits – how to be compassionate, grateful, respectful, and how to overcome pride.
In this year’s Gita Nagari retreat on “Srimad-Bhagavatam: Refuge for the Age of Kali”, by hearing from You and other speakers, our attraction towards Srimad-Bhagavatam is increasing by Your mercy.
His Grace Nityananda Pran Prabhu and Her Grace Hemangi Mataji are the greatest inspiration, encouragement and guidance in our lives. Year after year they are taking us deeper into our devotional practices so that we can cultivate and develop our relationship with guru and Krsna. It is the greatest wealth and treasure for us that we hold on to. Thank you for providing us with such gifts in our lives.
On this auspicious day please bless us so that we can go deeper in our devotion and live our lives for the pleasure of guru and Krsna.
Your humble servants,
Narahari dasa and Saumya devi dasi
