Dearly beloved Srila Guru Maharaj,
Please accept my humble obeisances at the dust of your lotus feet.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada!
All glories to your Divine Grace! All glories to your transcendental Vyasa Puja!
Guru Maharaj, first of all let me wish you a warm and loving 70th Vyasa puja on the occasion of your holy & transcendental appearance day
Guru Maharaj once again your divine vyasa puja affords me the opportunity to glorify you very limitedly due to my impurities although your fame is unlimited in the three worlds.
Guru Maharaj, you long stay at Chennai for your treatment was really a blessing in disguise for me and for many others too. Your transcendental presence had a magical transformation in my heart and consciousness. You are so magnanimous and beyond causelessly compassionate that you started to give classes every day (from your tireless efforts of Caitanya Book), which you are continuing to give till date, without leaving a single drop of your enthusiasm to preach the glories of Sri Gaurahari and benefitting so many of our lives through your divine association! You have given me a deep and lifelong moments of your association personally on the occasion of Jaya Ekadasi and you have again made my conviction more stronger that you are ‘Antaryami”. Although am totally undeserving but that was only by your causeless mercy I could get it.
On Nithyananda Triyodasi, I was fortunate to capture some special moments of your Holiness which melted my hard heart so much! Your divine presence on the most auspicious day made me oblivious to the surroundings and I was simply gazing at you without missing to see you even for a moment. Your conscious acts while taking part in Abhishek to the Lordships, your great eagerness and love to spread the mercy of NItai Gaura, your chanting on the new diksha bead for a candidate, your complete absorption in the details of the pastimes of the Lord and so on. Forever indebted for those precious moments of your divine grace and the merciful glance!!!
Guru Maharaj, as years roll by, I realize how peripheral my attachment to the holy name, how empty my words and how vacant my heart is. Amidst all the anarthas that I battle with, the only saving grace is some trickle drops of faith that pour along with your abundant mercy in my life. I know that your causeless mercy is that which keeps me afloat in an otherwise lost case. It is your loving mercy that shines forth in the dark and gloomy hours, that keeps the faith going. From the very first time when I had your darshan, you have showered me with such genuine care that it makes me want to believe in the supreme source of unlimited care and affection. And even today, your care and mercy keeps pouring into my insignificant life, through the various services to Srila Prabhupada’s magnanimous family, that I am engaged in, by your divine arrangement.
With all my limitations and inabilities, I know I have nowhere to go, save and except your mercy. I sincerely pray Gurudev, that I may imbibe one bit of the mood that you exemplify, so I can serve Srila Prabhupada and his divine family in a manner that would be befitting someone who belongs to you.
Oh most merciful master, You are the only deliverer.
I need attraction to Your lotus feet, Which are coolness in scorching heat.
Krsna is like a vast sea, We can't reach there easily.
But You out of compassion, Give us Your Divine association.
Transcendental glance of your divine grace, Brings one out of material race.
To receive Your causeless mercy, I can also add to waiting infinity.
Words coming from Your lotus mouth, Purifies west east north south.
Your eternal transcendental instructions, Are saving world from great destructions.
Please please Guru Maharaj, Accept me as Your insignificant dasi.
As You care and love us all, Let Your compassion and mercy befall.
I aspire to desire clear and proper, To commit fully and just surrender.
I hope Gurudev You would accept, This fool destitute insignificant.
My only request in Your lotus feet, Please give me a space to be fit.
Then I will dance and will chant, As my illusioned heart will illuminate.
How can my mind ever be satisfied with my frail attempts to describe you! for you are the ocean of all divine qualities. I offer all the flowers of the whole world on your lotus feet today!!! Thank you so much Gurumaharaj for always keeping me under your divine care and giving me rays of hope to not give up the battle against Maya!!! I sincerely pray that I follow your divine instructions as my life and soul and one day in this lifetime live up to my name and please your Holiness.
Your most insignificant daughter and servant,
Rupasri Lakshmipriya Devi dasi (Diksha)
Chennai. India.
