Hare Krishna
Srila Guru Maharaj Ki Jai !
I offer my humble obeisances on to Srila Prabhupada and Guru parampara.
Guru Maharaj, please accept my humble obeisances unto your lotus feet.
Guru Maharaj, your heart is an ocean of mercy and love which is always filled with:
- personal affection towards all devotees across the universe
- joy of Krishna prema
- unlimited devotional service attitude towards Guru, Gauranga, Krishna, god brothers & sisters and loving devotees
- unlimited motivation and enthusiasm for all devotees in uplifting them
- a loving space in abundance to embrace an unworthy and ineligible rascal like me to guide and show the path to ultimate life by holding me hand in hand, walking with me at each step and making me to breathe aroma of Bhakti to achieve the ultimate goal in this very life.
- incredible strength to undertake and execute the herculean devotional tasks to fulfil Guru's wish and at the same time creating an example with an experience about being a humble devotee as well as very great acharya.
I pay my due respect and offer my sincere obeisances unto your ocean of loving heart.
Just taking shelter under your lotus feet would at once liberate millions of souls.
I pay my respect and offer my sincere obeisances unto your lotus feet.
I beg and humbly request you to make my stubborn mind bend and make it take complete shelter of your lotus feet.
I pay my respect and offer my sincere obeisances unto your transcendental glory, radiance and effulgence.
I consider that my life is magnanimous and wonderful as my eyes could see you personally, my hands could serve you personally, my legs ran around to do things for you personally, my each breathe made my heart rigorously rhythm in love of you, my whole body shiver when you appeared in front of me like a flashing light of knowledge and unknowingly my hairs on the body paid obeisances by standing up, unknowingly my eyes washed your lotus feet, unknowingly my soul jumped up and high in ecstasy, unknowingly my body shiver with love and my mind perplexed as what to do next? Without any second thought and mind involvement, my whole body made a of symbol of prostration falling straight on the ground with both hands stretched straight pointing as a sastanga namaskars to your lotus feet. This is the blissful state where I felt the complete shelter in your lotus feet.
I pay my respect and offer my sincere obeisances unto your complete personal form.
My feeling was like Dhruva Maharaj, thinking that I got nothing great out of your magnificent Darshan, not realising the potency of your single glimpse upon me would make my life cross all hellish oceans/planets and make me land safely in Goloka Vridavana to relish the association of all vaishnavas and engage in transcendental devotional service to Lord Krishna.
Guru Maharaj, I humbly beg you to please make my state of mind fully oriented towards proper unalloyed Bhakti, make my mind drink the Bhakti rasamritha and make the use of my very life as last one to be glued to your lotus feet for unending transcendental devotional service.
All glories to Srila Guru Maharaj!
Srila Guru Maharaj Ki Jai !
Hare Krishna
Your humble servant
