Dearest Śrīla Guru-Mahārāja,

I would like to offer here my daṇḍavat praṇāms at your lotus feet. All glories to Śrī Guru and Gaurāṅga and Jagad-guru Śrīla Prabhupāda.

Śrīla Guru Mahārāja, a very happy appearance day to You! On this most auspicious occasion of your Vyāsa-pūjā, I sincerely pray to Śrī Śrī Prahālad Narasiṁhadeva, Śrī Śrī Pañca-tattva and Śrī Śrī Rādhā Mādhava Aṣṭa-sakhi for your good health.

You are my daily inspiration, and I would like to pay my humble gratitude and is grateful that you have given shelter of your lotus feet to a fallen soul like me.

Gurudeva, you are a treasure of all transcendental qualities that has no definitive end. However, would like to highlight here a few of them on which I meditate daily,

a) Compassion towards fallen souls who do not have any qualification and giving shelter to them,

b) Perfection in completing all tasks in a timely and orderly way,

c) Fighting against all odds in life,

d) Simple instructions, which has the core message of service and caring attitude towards all (without any discrimination).

Gurudeva, we (all in the family) also seek Your blessings so that we develop a sincere taste towards reading books written by Śrīla Prabhupāda.

Gurudeva, please consider my plea and shower on me Your mercy and blessings so that can sincerely serve towards ISKCON’s mission, vision and values. Also, please forgive me for my mistakes that have committed knowingly or unknowingly.

Gurudeva, seek Your special blessings on the point that my love towards Śrī Śrī Gaura Nitāi intensifies further, and we continue doing all the sevā nicely. Further, our hankering towards doing sevā for the pleasure of our guru-paramparā increases.

Please accept daṇḍavat praṇāmas and above prayers from wife Rādhā Vraja-vāsinī Devī Dāsī, daughter Shreepriya and son Giridhar.

In the service of our Guru Paramparā,

Your children from Damodardesh,

Vraja-vāsī Gopāla Dāsa,

Rādhā Vraja-vāsinī Devī Dāsī, Shreepriya, Giridhar
