Deva Deva Gaura Dāsa (Kṛṣṇa Kathā Deśa - Middle East)

My dear Spiritual father 

Hare Kṛṣṇa, Daṇḍavat-praṇāma

Kindly accept my humble obeisances at your Lotus Feet. 

All glories to His Divine Grace Śrīla Prabhupāda 

All glories to you Guru Mahārāja 

 

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

 

It is indeed a great privilege and honour for me to be given this opportunity to submit my homage at your Lotus Feet eventhough I am not qualified or eligible. This is a reflection of your causeless mercy. I have no words to express my sincere gratitude, for taking me the fallen soul under your shelter and initiating me into Kṛṣṇa consciousness. This is a miracle that happened in my life, an injection of spiritual energy into me. I am very fortunate. Thank you Guru Mahārāja for the same. I am aware that I have miles and miles to go before I reach a minimum level of Nishta. Whatever little progress I have made in Kṛṣṇa consciousness is because of your blessings  dear Guru Mahārāja. Śrīla Prabhupāda use to say that you are an eternal associate of Caitanya Mahāprabhu,  I am very lucky to have you as my Guru Mahārāja. 

You are a great source of inspiration for me and to all your disciples. You are a born leader always leading from the front, showing all of us by your personal example that bodily discomforts and physical challenges are never impediments in discharging our duty to Serve Kṛṣṇa and Vaiṣṇavas. 

You have defeated death personified not once or twice but many times. This requires great courage, determination and willpower. You have always shown earnest desire  to  serve and fulfill the instructions of Śrīla Prabhupāda and Lord Gaurāṇga.

You always encouraged Preaching an important anga of Devotional service which helps in outreach and helps to expand our Kṛṣṇa conscious movement. By your blessings Guru Mahārāja I am able to do this sevā of Preaching twice in a week. It is my earnest request to kindly bless me with more of this sevā.

You always advised your disciples and other devotees to read Śrīla Prabhupāda's books on a regular basis to get en-lightened  and have the opportunity to associate and have the goodwill of His Divine Grace Śrīla Prabhupāda, without whom we would have been lost in the murky waters of this miserable material ocean .

Lastly I humbly request Your Holiness to kindly bless me and my family members to be always in Kṛṣṇa consciousness and never to fall from the grace of Guru & Gaurāṇga. 

 

Hare Kṛṣṇa. 

I humbly remain 

Your humble servant and son
Deva Deva Gaura Dāsa (Devīdasan). 
Kṛṣṇa Katha Deśa.
