My Beloved Guru Maharaj
Please accept my obeisances unto Your Lotus feet. All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda, All glories to you my dear spiritual father.
I am blessed that Lord Kṛṣṇa has given me such a merciful spiritual master. I always get inspired by looking at you. You have descended on this material world to dissipate the darkness of ignorance of many fallen souls like me. You have exemplified the life of a pure devotee from which I have to learn a lot to progress in Kṛṣṇa consciousness. It’s a long way to go for me to live up to your expectations. Our lives are blessed just by your association and we are fortunate to get shelter at your lotus feet. Your lotus feet have that power to give shelter to thousands of fallen souls like me. I will always look at you whenever I am physically or mentally not keeping well and try to take encouragement from your life how to move forward in spite of hardships and difficulties in life. Also, I always feel bad of not getting much opportunity to interact and serve you physically.
I need your blessings to progress more in the service of Śrīla Prabhupāda and guru-bhakti especially to get myself involved in more preaching and spiritual activities which I don’t much as of now expect for my regular sadhanas. I beg you to kindly forgive me for all the mistakes that I have committed knowingly and unknowingly unto you, any Vaishnavas and other living entities. Once again I am requesting you to kindly drag my senses out from the attachment of worldly desires so I can see clearly the path of your instructions and follow it sincerely considering it to be my life and soul.
I sincerely pray to Lord Rādhā Madhav and Lord Narasinghadev for your health and well-being. I wish that I could see you walking and talking as before by the mercy of Lord Kṛṣṇa. Eagerly looking forward for your darśan in Dubai soon.
Your Humble Servant,
