nama oṁ viṣṇu-pādāya kṛṣṇa-preṣṭhāya bhū-tale

Hare Kṛṣṇa dear Guru Mahārāja,

Please accept my humble obeisances. I am very fortunate to get the chance to glorify you, although I don’t have any qualification, nor I have any realization still I want to glorify you as per my capacity and as far as my intelligence allows or in a simple way as much as Kṛṣṇa wants.

Dear Guru Mahārāja, You gave me initiation on June 2022. I am so fallen that I even could not realize the potency of initiation. Although theoretically we learnt many aspects of devotional service, but I beg your mercy to realize those, so that I can become steady in my devotional service.

Guru Maharaj you are so merciful that you have given initiation to 70000+ devotees all around the world and in exchange you did not hesitate to take their sins. You are following the footsteps of His Divine Grace Śrīla Prabhupāda as it is and delivering so many people who does not have much qualification apart from your mercy. And we are seeing as time is moving forward your intensity is also increasing, nothing could stop you. As you are not in the bodily concept of life, and as you are surrendered to guru-paramparā and Kṛṣṇa, you became so empowered!

Guru Mahārāja, You supported ISKCON in the most difficult time. After Śrīla Prabhupāda’s departure, there were many difficulties. But you stood as a commander, a stalwart devotee, non-stoppable under any circumstances and you are one of the main reasons that today so many devotees are connected to ISKCON.

I remember this year I got an opportunity for your vapu-sevā, I was very happy. I hope in future, I may get some more chances for vapu-sevā.

Guru Mahārāja’s instructions are life and soul of a disciple. I should try to follow your instructions strictly. I need your mercy Guru Mahārāja, so that I get realization and can keep going near to Kṛṣṇa without much distractions. Please bless me so that I can continue doing Sadhana and Seva throughout my life without any disturbance, till the time I leave this material body and can serve devotees.

I would like to pray to Gāndharvikā Giridhārī so that you get recovered as soon as possible. I need your guidance in every step of my life, so that I can stay at the right path without distraction.

Your insignificant servant,

Surānanda Gaurāṅga Dāsa
