Nama om Vishnu padaya Krsna presthaya bhutale
Srimate Jayapataka swamin iti namine,
Nama acharya padaya Nitai kripa pradayine
Gaura katha dhama daya nagara grama tarine”
Nama om Vishnu padaya Krsna presthaya bhutale
Srimate Bhaktivedanta svamin iti namine
Namaste Sarasvate deve gaura vani pracharine
Nirveshesh sunyavadi pashchatya desa tarine
Om agnana timirandasya gnana anjana salakaya
Caksur unmilitam ena tasmayi sree gurave namah
My dear spiritual father, GuruMaharaj, please accept my respectful obedience at your lotus feet.
Gurumaharaj, you have shown great compassion and kindness towards me. You have accepted me as your son and given me overwhelming amounts of love! How can I ever repay you? Where do I begin? The love you and devotees have shown is binding. Right now, I am finishing my 2nd year in medical school with an intense desire of serving you and your devotees. There are many obstacles and many challenges but reminding myself of your fight, I too am trying to fight. My seniors instruct me always be enthusiastic and I’m seeing how that’s only possible by meditating on your pastimes.
Gurudeva, I know nothing other than this love. This same love, I hope one day I can spread. I am constantly reminded that without devotees, without you, that is not a life worth living. Please, only with your mercy, can I ever be of use to you. I beg at your lotus feet, on this most celebrated day, for your blessings that I am always engaged in serving Vaishnavas in association. Please also bless my sister (Divya), who recently started attending Bhakti Virksa classes that she can realize the happiness of being Krishna Conscious and take up to this process seriously!
Your useless son,
Hrdaya Caitanya Kirtan Das
