All Glories to Śrīla Prabupada!

All Glories to your auspicious appearance day Guru Mahārāja,

Dear Guru Mahārāja,

By your mercy, you embraced me and my family into the Family of ISKCON, during the period I was working in Dāmodaradeśa. During that period, the real meaning and it’s benefits of the mantra has not touched the bottom of my heart. As the time goes, and grow older, (I am 75 years old now) I understand the benefits of your mercy to accept me as one of your disciples.

Only ‘Hare Kṛṣṇa mahā-mantra’ and the teachings of ISKCON have relieved us to the next stage of our long unending journey. Your mercy assisted me to understand nothing but, only one’s self preparation takes one to attain the ultimate end.

In this offering I am begging from you a request, Blessings from you - by mentioning names of my two sons Govinda Kṛṣṇa (36 years) and Aravinda Kṛṣṇa (29 years) by your mouth for them to come-back to Kṛṣṇa conscious. Both schooled in Dāmodaradeśa and until we were there. They were following us, after joining their career-path got away from ISKCON teachings. I am deeply worried, how to bring them back. I am taking this opportunity with great faith; your blessings will steadily make them realize.

By your mercy, I assist Sunday class children from two Temples in Vavuniya District (In Srilanka) through their teachers in the thought of Kṛṣṇa (without it they get deviated into other religion); trying some service by your mercy.

Reciting ‘Narasiṁha Kavaca’ for fluent chanting.

This is our humble tribute to remind us of our indebtedness to You, Dear Guru Mahārāja,

May Lord Narasiṁhadeva protect your health to continue Your service - that is the strength to our activities.

May Lord Gaurāṅga give You the spiritual strength.

We pray to the Lord on this auspicious occasion of Your Vyāsa-pūjā, all glories, all glories, all glories unto You,

Your eternal servant,

Jagadguru Kṛṣṇa Dāsa
