My dear Guru Maharaja,

Hare Krishna !

A million humble and respectful dandavat pranaams to the dust of your lotus feet.  Please accept them, out of your own sheer causeless mercy.
 
All glories to Sri Guru and Sri Gauranga.  
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.  
All glories to your Holiness.
All glories to all the Vaishnavas.
 
All glories to your auspicious appearance day... Guru Maharaja!! 

Guru Maharaja, this is your insignificant servant - Kesi Damana Krsna dasa, attempting to offer this homage letter and my deepest gratitude to your Holiness on your auspicious 72nd Vyasa Puja. I humbly request at your holy feet to accept it out of your sheer causeless mercy alone.

Your holy self, being a sincere disciple of Srila Prabhupada, have been serving his mission and ISKCON untiringly for many decades with tremendous enthusiasm and joy, without displaying even an iota of tiredness in your spiritual journey. That gives me more encouragement to serve you in my little insignificant way and earnestly trying to do so.

Guru maharaja, even though you know that I do not have any qualification or eligibility to become your disciple, still you mercifully blessed me with Harinaam deeksha in 2016. Because of your unlimited mercy and blessings alone, I'm still hanging on in Krishna Conscious life and able to hold my blessed beads everyday morning for chanting. I’m ever grateful to you and I wish to serve you for eternity and beyond as servant of servant of your servants.
 
Guru maharaja, I was very much worried to know that you have been affected by Covid-19 Corona virus in January 2021. I humbly understand that it was only your pastime to help us to deepen our faith on Krishna and your holy self. Still I don't want it to be so at the cost of your life Guru maharaja! I was deeply praying everyday to our dear Radharani and Krishna and Srila Prabhupada for your faster and complete recovery, if they wish, and bless us with your physical presence in this world for many more years to come. Without your holy physical presence in this world, how can the most fallen soul like me can ever cross the ocean of nescience?! We need you Guru maharaja. Please take care of your health and be with us and bless us for many, many more years to come.

Gurudeva, knowing well about my helpless inabilities, I humbly and sincerely beg at your lotus feet to please, please, please bless me to serve you in the way it pleases you the most. Without your merciful glance upon this THE MOST FALLEN conditioned soul, I don't have any strength to perform any service to your lotus feet and to our dear Radharani and Krishna and all the Guru Paramapara. Just like a honeybee finds a cool shelter in the lotus flower, I feel safe and secured only to be under the shelter of your lotus feet, Guru maharaj!

Guru Maharaja, as it is said that Vaishnavas are generally very merciful always, and on their divine appearance day, they are even more merciful than ever, to the fallen souls – like myself.  Keeping this truth in view, on this auspicious occasion of your Vyasa Puja, I humbly fall at your lotus feet and earnestly beg and beg and beg to you, dear Gurudev, please forgive your this pathitha sevaka for all the offences committed -- knowingly and unknowingly --  towards your holy self and towards any other devotees and disciples.

Gurudeva, I heard in one lecture that the greatest gift that we can ever offer to anyone is to sincerely pray to Krishna for them. Although I do not at all have any qualification whatsoever, keeping this truth in mind, Gurudeva, on this auspicious occasion, from the very depths of my heart, I earnestly pray to our beloved Radharani and Krishna, Srila Prabhupada and all the Guru Parampara to please give you Their merciful blessings in your mission to please Srila Prabhupad, Radharani and Krishna. This is what your this poor, helpless, unworthy and unfit servant can do for you, dear Guru Maharaja.  Out of your own sheer causeless mercy alone, please accept my this insignificant service as a small token of my love for you.

Please bless me that my love for you becomes really pure, unconditional, uninterrupted  and limitless,  and it  keeps on  ever-increasing, and my Guru-nishta and my commitment to your mission keeps on deepening, and  I render -- most lovingly and  most unconditionally --  pure, loving,  unconditional,  uninterrupted,  limitless, unflinching and unmotivated  devotional service to your holy self, all the Guru Parampara, all the Vaishnavas, and  our beloved Radharani and  Krishna, in the way it pleases Them the most -- eternally and even beyond.  Your merciful blessings alone can take me in that direction – Guru Maharaja!

With my heartfelt deep gratitude and millions of humble obeisances at your lotus feet,
Aspiring to be the servant of the servant of the servant of your holy self,
Kesi Damana Krsna dasa.
Chennai.
