nama oṁ viṣṇu-padaya Kṛṣṇa-presthaya bhu-tale
śrīmate jayapatākā swami iti namine
namo ācārya padaya, nitāi kripa pradayine
gaura kathā, damodaya nagara grama tarine
Dear Śrīla Guru Mahārāja,
Please Accept Our Respectful Obeisances
All Glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda.
All Glories to Your Divine Grace.


Thank you for giving us an opportunity to write Vyāsa-pūjā homage on your glorious Vyāsa-pūjā celebrations.

During my Kṛṣṇa conscious journey I have realised that one can understand the glories of Guru by how much spiritually advanced the devotee is. I can understand you only to a very limited capacity as I am a neophyte.

You are an embodiment of love, care and compassion which is very rare to find in this world. You are always extremely merciful to all souls. You carry the instructions of Śrīla Prabhupāda in your heart and it’s inspiring to see how you have been serving the instructions in all circumstances. Words cannot describe the love and determination you have for serving the instructions of Śrīla Prabhupāda.

You have been showering unlimited mercy on all souls by regularly giving darśan. Many new people felt blessed by your darśan and we celebrated our appearance days, anniversaries and festivals with you through Zoom Guru Mahārāja. It is always inspiring and heart touching to see you doing all these services despite your health conditions.

Every day I feel grateful to you for accepting me as your disciple. During happiness, I always thank you for your unconditional mercy. During sadness, I always seek your shelter and protection. I have seen you in my dreams twice last year when I was undergoing difficult situations. I felt that you have been kindly and mercifully protecting me. This is always the case, but certain things reinforce the truth.

By your mercy and the mercy of my sīkṣā gurus, I got the opportunity to personally talk with you once during your visit to London. This is my most cherished experience, and I remember that every day.

I have been trying to do preaching services online for the past year. By your mercy, we got some sincere devotees. We met some families, and they are taking up Kṛṣṇa consciousness in their lives. One family have taken up Kṛṣṇa consciousness very sincerely. They are thanking Śrīla Prabhupāda and all devotees as they have found immense joy in Kṛṣṇa consciousness.

By your mercy, my husband has got an opportunity to help devotees in INDIA in our area. He is assisting them in opening an ISKCON center. It would be opened on Ugadi (Telugu New Year).

Thank you very much, Guru Mahārāja, for everything. My life is happy because of your mercy and also because of the wonderful community of devotees I live in. The devotee community here is very caring, non-judgmental and always in a mood of serving. All these qualities are imbibed through Your example and teachings.

Please kindly forgive me for offences I have committed knowingly or unknowingly.

Please kindly bless my family and me to get the taste of chanting the holy name. Please kindly bless us to be always in the loving association of devotees. Please kindly bless that we can reach out to many souls and make their lives joyful through Kṛṣṇa consciousness.

Please kindly bless our sīkṣā gurus and all devotees in the congregation to carry out all services in good health and happiness.

Thank you very much, Guru Mahārāja.
Your servant
