nama om vishnupadaya krisha presthaya bhu-tale
srimate Jayapataka swamin iti namine
nama acharyapadaya nitai kripa pradayine
gaura katha dhama daya nagara grama tarine
Dear Guru Maharaj,
Please accept my respectful obeisances unto the dust of your lotus feet.
Wish you a very blissful 70th Vyas Puja day.
On this most auspicious day I would humbly like to express my feelings of earnest gratitude to you for everything that I am. Before I start with this offering, I pray to the Lord, who is the ocean of all knowledge, to kindly bestow a tiny drop of mercy so that I may be capable of glorifying you.
Guru Maharaj, you embody the mood of Sri Gaurahari who is always kind to all wretched living beings like myself. You are so merciful that even when your travels reduced during the past year, you constantly engaged each and everyone you met in hearing the pastime of Sri Gaurahari. O most merciful Guru Maharaj, your mind, body and soul are completely engaged in serving the louts feet of Sri Gaurahari in order to fulfil His foremost prediction that the chanting of the holy name of Krishna would soon be heard in every town and village in the world. You are tirelessly preaching just to deliver the love of Sri Krishna to every unconditioned soul. We are fortunate enough to have an example of a wonderful devotee in you. Just by your darshan, just your association, just by following your instructions even the most impure and contaminated heart can begin to see the glimpse of real happiness.
Guru Maharaj, your extraordinary qualities are uncountable and all of those you have obtained just by persistently and faithfully following the instructions of Srila Prabhupada. Guru Maharaj, my only ambition in life is to be of some assistance to you in your mission and so I pray at your lotus feet to get your mercy to succeed in this ambition and always serve your lotus feet. Please continue to guide me at every step to execute your instructions properly.
On this most auspicious day, together with my family, I pray to Sri Narasimhadev to give you a long and healthy life. We are constantly praying to the Lord for your welfare as this life of Krishna consciousness is only by your mercy. We are indebted to you eternally.
Your eternal servant,
Kuladipika sundari devi dasi (Diksha)
