Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Śrīla Prabhupada! All glories to Guru Maharaj!
Dearest Guru Mahārāja,
Please accept my most humble obeisances.
All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda! All glories to Guru and Gaurāṅga!
Words always fall short when I sit down to write my offerings unto your divine feet. When I see all your disciples and the wonderful services they render to You and to Śrī Śrī Rādhā Mādhava, I always wonder if there is anyone who is more fallen than I am. My daily prayers to Lord Jagannātha and to you, my Spiritual Master, always include a request for forgiveness for my poor devotional service. I have no ayota of doubt that it is only because of your causeless mercy and by Lord Jagannātha's blessings that I am able to perform some minuscule devotional service today. I always cherish those wonderful times when you would visit Kṛṣṇa Katha Desa (Qatar) and as a little child, I would get the pleasure of performing Your Pada-Puja along with my parents. Such a blessing! I also recall how each time while delivering a discourse to the crowd, You'd intentionally enact certain moments in Kṛṣṇa's pastimes through voice modulations to captivate the little children and the adults in the audience. I only say all this because I am inspired by how You give your 200% to any opportunity to render service and fulfil the wishes of Your Spiritual Master and the Supreme Lord. On this auspicious day of Your Vyāsa-pūjā, I only pray that you continue to deliver Your service to Śrīla Prabhupāda and to their Lordships the way You desire and beyond, and also that I may be able to carry out my devotional service to match atleast 1% of what You have done.
I will forever be indebted to You for introducing us to the nectar that is Kṛṣṇa Consciousness.
Your most fallen servant,
