Dearest Guru Mahārāja, Happy Vyāsa-pūjā!!!

Please accept my most respectful obeisances unto your divine lotus feet. All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda. All glories to your divine appearance.

I feel great fortune getting this wonderful opportunity to glorify your Holiness. Knowing that, I am not qualified to glorify your divine qualities and transcendental activities, I take this as an opportunity for my purification. A tiny attempt to glorify you Guru Mahārāja.

My dear Guru Mahārāja, by your causeless mercy, I have got this very fortune to associate with the wonderful devotees, HG Caitanya Avatari Prabhu, HG Rasamayī Mātājī, and entire NRJD devotees. And by their blessings I am so fortunate to get your divine mercy.

You are a living inspiration to everyone. Inspite of your health challenges, you make yourself available for all devotees. Always giving spiritual solutions to our material problems and encouraging us to serve the lord. Despite your busy schedule Guru Mahārāja, you never miss giving us the opportunity to relish nectarean pastimes of Mahāprabhu and giving darśana to so many devotees everyday. Who else can be more merciful, other than yourself Guru Mahārāja.

Whenever I think of you Guru Mahārāja, I feel so fortunate, that I am blessed with such a wonderful father and getting such wonderful opportunity to serve and associate with you. And this very fortune is also your blessing and mercy upon such a fallen person like me.

I am so grateful to you Guru Mahārāja for giving us all, everything that brings us closer to Gaurāṅga’s service.

I am like a child who is always looking after self and busy, not caring that her dear father is taking so much pain just to deliver her. Alas! My heart is filled with so many anarthas that I’m not able to develop even a tinge of taste and devotion for you Gurudeva. I am such a fickle minded, foolish girl who is always running after material happiness. Dear Guru Mahārāja, you are an ocean of mercy. What can be more auspicious than taking shelter at the dust of your lotus feet? It is by your causeless mercy that I am still continuing to render some service to the vaiṣṇava devotees and practicing Kṛṣṇa consciousness.

O Gurudeva, Your merciful glance is the only ray of hope for me to escape this material world. I beg for your mercy that I always stick to the service of your lotus feet.

My only aspiration is just to serve under instructions of my mentor and senior devotees. My only desire is to serve you eternally and get your association. Lastly I pray at your lotus feet to bless my mom, dad, my two sisters and my little brother to develop unflinching faith and devotion for you and serve you life after life.

All glories to Patita Pāvana Guru Mahārāja!!!

All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda’s victory flag!!!

Your very insignificant daughter,

Swati Priya (aspiring disciple)
