Maha Shri:
I heard it is your birthday and time to celebrate another year on this earthly plane where you continue to shine and be such a beautiful example of living life to the fullest … being all that you can be regardless of age … time etc… You are already a timeless soul. I saw some pictures of you during Guruji’s visit to Florida and it so filled my heart with wonderful memories of our time together a few years back. I remember those moments as if they were yesterday and wish for the day when we can meet again. I do hope we have that opportunity soon.
So on behalf of the NY group and myself, we wish you a wonderful day and a wonderful year ahead. May your hearts desires be fulfilled in the most perfect way. May you continue to be in the God’s favor with good health, mind, body and spirit. May your light be a reminder to us of how we can continue to strive to be better and to continue to learn no matter what….
Happy Birthday Maha Shri and may God and Guru continue to bless you ever so richly. May you continue to have perfect health and may you always be surrounded by love and light as you continue to send your love and light into our world.
Love Anupriya
