Dear Gurudeva,
I have got this wonderful opportunity, and am happy to connect with You. Though I am not at all qualified, I would still like to share some points, for my own purification.
I pray to their Lordships Jagannath, Baladeva, Subhadramayi, Radha Madhava, Pancatattva, Narasimhadeva, to continue to protect You.
I still remember the first time I met You, few years back, during a Ratha Yatra. You arrived at the spot. I was all new to the process. I just saw Your effulgence and was stunned. I saw everyone paying obeisances to You. I dint know what to do, I just followed other devotees. I was just walking behind You throughout the Yatra. It was so childish act of mine that whenever possible I was just touching Your lotus hand, kind of poking, and checking if You are a human being like me, or something higher. And every time You turn back and smiled at me. I was so happy.
I had got an amazingly wonderful association of devotees, who are Your disciples. My whole family was engaged in devotional service, being a part of various preaching activities, experiencing some kind of bliss. We got a lot of love and care from the devotee association. My parents and my sister got initiated by You soon.
And me, due to some other unwanted association and material attachments, unfortunately, got carried away, far away from Lord Krishna, and gradually lost the taste in doing devotional service and finally lost that wonderful devotee association. I feel so ashamed of myself, for missing one opportunity to be connected to You, and in turn connected with Lord Krishna. I was all lost by then.
By Your mercy, now I got a second chance, by getting another wonderful association of devotees, who are also Your disciples. And I am getting love and care again. Now, I feel I should distribute the love and care I am getting, by engaging in preaching activities. I promise You that I will never miss this opportunity again.
Dear Gurumaharaj!
You continue to spread the mission of Lord Caitanya, by following the instructions of Srila Prabhupada, with the mood of all the previous Acharya’s, despite all the difficult circumstances. You are compassionate and merciful towards everyone and always thinking of the welfare of humanity.
You are guiding a lot of devotees, putting in lot of efforts to get everyone back home, back to Godhead. Thank You very much - for setting an example of utilizing the life completely in the service of Guru and Gauranga. No one can ever repay You - for the mercy that You are showering upon everyone.
Requesting for Your blessings so that I become instrumental in serving You, to accomplish the mission of Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu, and be always connected to You, by first practicing devotional service strongly, then preaching to as many souls as possible.
Thank You Dear Gurudeva!
All glories to Your auspicious appearance day!
Your aspiring servant,
