from Tadiya Seva Das – United States, Fremont

Dear Srila Gurudeva,

Please accept my deepest humble obeisances at the dust of Your lotus feet. It is my great fortune to be able to read my Vyasa Puja offering for the year 2020.

You had accepted this fallen soul as Your duly initiated disciple in 2015 in Vraja Mandala, Sri Vrindavan Dham. I suffered so much in this material world when I wasn’t a devotee of the Lord may because of my sinful past karma. I am deeply indebted to Your mercy. You have given your mercy freely like Lord Caitanya and Lord Nityananda in their Navadweepa pastimes. I don’t want to take this mercy for granted. I am making every effort to continuously take the mercy and try to help the mission of Lord Caitanya. My only grievance at this time is that I am not personally able to do any seva at the dust of Your lotus feet. I hope my prayers will be answered and I get the strength gradually to render the seva at the dust of Your lotus feet.

Srila Gurudeva even though I am not in close proximity with You I am sincerely taking Your association on YouTube and Facebook. I get sometimes distracted in my chanting but Your association through social media gives me a great hope. Srila Gurudeva, I am continuously taking the association of the devotees of ISKCON of silicon valley and doing whatever service I can by Your mercy. I am trying to remember the gurvastakam prayers regularly and chant these prayers at the dust of Your lotus feet. I look forward to taking Your association personally this year in Sri Vrindavan Dham since I couldn’t get Your association at the Sadhu Sanga Retreat.

Srila Gurudeva, You are an ocean of mercy and knowledge as I can see from Your lectures on a daily basis. Your mercy is unlimited like Lord Caitanya and Krsna. I am quite positive that I will continuously seek your mercy and inspiration from Your amazing service to Your guru and Krsna year after year and decade of decade. Please continuously give me shelter at the dust of Your lotus feet and guide me in this journey back home back to Godhead and serve all the wonderful devotees.

Sincerely,
Your most insignificant servant, Tadiya Seva Das
