Prāṇapriyā Rādhikā devī dāsī (Sylhet - Bangladesh)

Śrī Śrī Guru Gaurāṅga Jayataḥ!

nama oṁ viṣṇu-pādāya kṛṣṇa-preṣṭhāya bhū-tale
śrīmate jayapatāka svāmin iti nāmine
nama ācaryapādāya nitāi-kṛpā-pradāyine
gaura-kathā-dhāma-dāya nagara-grāma-tāriṇe

nama oṁ viṣṇu-pādāya kṛṣṇa-preṣṭhāya bhū-tale
śrīmate bhaktivedānta-svāminn iti nāmine
namas te sārasvate deve gaura-vāṇī-pracāriṇe
nirviśeṣa-śūnyavādi-pāścātya-deśa-tāriṇe

mūkaṁ karoti vācālaṁ paṅguṁ laṅghayate girim
yat-kṛpā tam ahaṁ vande śrī-guruṁ dīna-tāraṇam
paramānanda-mādhavam śrī caitanya īśvaram

Dear Spiritual father,

Please accept my most respectful obeisances unto the dust of your divine lotus feet. All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda! All glories to you Gurudeva! All glories to yours 73rd Vyāsa-pūjā ceremony.

Gurudeva, hope you are doing well by the mercy of Śrī Śrī Rādhā Mādhava, Śrī Śrī Pañca-tattva and Śrī Śrī Jagannātha, Baladeva and Subhadrā Mahārānī and Śrī Narasiṁhadeva. I am fine by your causeless blessings. On this auspicious occasion of yours Vyāsa-pūjā ceremony it’s my good fortune to write something about your glorification. Gurudeva, though I am not qualified enough to describe any drops of your glory from the ocean like glories of yours but today as I am saying something from yours glories it’s because of yours mercy.

When life was full of distress.

I was unaware of why am I suffering?

You appeared with unlimited real happiness, oh my dear spiritual master, Guru Mahārāja!

When I was doubtful to whom I should keep faith or whom I should not.

I was confused with who the cheater is or who is the protector?

Who provides the ultimate shelter oh my dear spiritual father, Guru Mahārāja!

When I was fed up with material happiness.

Everything seems meaningless.

You appeared with the ray of hope, oh my dear ultimate well-wisher Guru Mahārāja!

When I didn’t find any types of inspiration.

Your nectarine lecture teaches me what real determination is.

Thank you so much my dear superhero, Guru Mahārāja!

When my mind is conspiring about somebody, thinking good or bad;

Remembering your caring nature I also try to cultivate the culture of forgive and forget.

Thank you so much my dear ultimate guardian Guru Mahārāja!

When I am fighting with my anger, lust, and greediness,

Remembering your humility, I also try to tolerate everything

Thank you so much my dear Ācāryapāda Guru Mahārāja!

When I am tired by fighting with māyā, nothing like works,

Your sweet smile or one of word can heal everything,

Thank you so much, oh the victory flag of Śrīla Prabhupāda, Guru Mahārāja!

When life was full of ignorance

You appeared with louder kīrtana ‘Gaurāṅga’, ‘Nityānanda’.

By seeing you I can imagine how merciful the Lord Nityānanda is.

Thank you so much, oh the deliverer of sinful souls, Guru Mahārāja!

Thank you so much my dear spiritual father for giving me shelter in your lotus feet. Actually I have not enough words to express my thankfulness and gratefulness to you, Gurudeva. I want to do at least a little in your mission, please bless me Guru Mahārāja! Please bless me Guru Mahārāja, so that I can remain fixed in yours and Kṛṣṇa’s lotus feet.

Gurudeva please forgive my offences that I did knowingly and unknowingly to your lotus feet and please bless me to become your sincere spiritual daughter.

Yours insignificant daughter,
