My Dear spiritual father,

Hare Kṛṣṇa, Daṇḍavat praṇāma.

Kindly accept my humble obeisances at your Lotus feet. All glories to you Guru Mahārāja, All glories to His Divine Grace Śrīla Prabhupāda.

On this most auspicious occasion of your appearance day, I consider myself to be most fortunate to be given this opportunity to submit my homage at your Lotus Feet. And nothing can be more sweeter.

Guru Mahārājajī, firstly I wish to convey my sincere gratitude for accepting me as your disciple and initiating me into Kṛṣṇa consciousness. For which I shall always remain indebted eternally. It is the greatest honor for me to be your disciple.

I always seek your mercy and blessings for my individual progress and growth in Kṛṣṇa consciousness and also to be able to serve you Guru Mahārāja by preaching Kṛṣṇa consciousness to many far and wide as desired by Your Holiness and His Divine Grace Śrīla Prabhupāda.

It is only by your mercy I can attain perfection both in my service unto you and in Kṛṣṇa consciousness. By your mercy I have completed my Bhakti-śāstrī course and now I wish to do Bhakti-vaibhava also.

Guru Mahārājajī, you are an exemplary and an ideal leader, always full of energy and enthusiasm. You have shown us by your personal example that every hurdles can be crossed over whether it is physical, mental or otherwise in our march towards achieving perfection in Kṛṣṇa consciousness and also in spreading the message of Guru and Gaurāṅga.

I feel no one can match your dedication and sincerity with which you are serving Śrīla Prabhupāda tirelessly, in order to fulfil his mission and vision. Therefore, ISKCON has seen an exponential growth in the past few decades and is still continuing to do so.

I sincerely wish and pray for your good health, and that you stay with us for a long long time and continue to shower your mercy and blessings on us.

Guru Mahārāja kindly bless me so that I never fall down from your grace and be able to render my service enthusiastically and sincerely as per your guidance and instructions. It is also my earnest request to bless my family members so that they can also advance in Kṛṣṇa consciousness.

Thank you Guru Mahārāja for everything.

I remain your humble servant and son,

Deva Deva Gaura Dāsa
