Dear Guru Mahārāja,
nama oṁ viṣṇu-pādāya kṛṣṇa-preṣṭhāya bhū-tale śrīmate jayapatākā-svāmin iti nāmine
namo ācāryapādāya nitāi-kṛpa-pradāyine gaura-kathā dhāma dāya nagara-grāma tāriṇe
On this auspicious occasion of your 70th Vyasa puja, please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feel. I am not qualified to write or glorify you but making a humble attempt to do so.
I must have done something spiritual in my previous life, hence I have had the good fortune and mercy to get your association as my spiritual master. I dread to think what my life would have turned out to be if I was not following the path of Kṛṣṇa Consciousness. It is because of the causeless mercy you have bestowed upon me, that I can dare to tread on this spiritual path.
Śrīla Prabhupāda had assigned the Māyāpur dhama project to develop, which you have developed so nicely as per your spiritual master’s desire. You are working tirelessly to spread Kṛṣṇa Consciousness movement in India and throughout the world inspite of your frail health condition.
Gurudeva you are the ocean of mercy and compassion. Kindly melt this stone like heart of mine and instill some vaishnava qualities in it.
You are preaching the message of Śrīmad Bhagvatam, Bhagvad Gita and Caitanya Caritamrita to everyone and you are living by the rules and regulations as per our scriptures. You are exemplary in your preaching and have shown us by action, that your preaching is open to all irrespective of caste, creed, religion, country etc.
In this material world when you commit mistakes you have to pay a heavy price and suffer, but in the spiritual path even when we make mistakes, you forgive us and inspire us to move on in our spiritual path. You are the source of our spiritual strength and the progress we make is nothing but drops of your mercy.
On this glorious 70th Vyasa pooja day I pray to the deities of Rādhā Mādhava and Ashta sakhis, Panchatattva and Narsimhadeva that they give you good health and blissful Kṛṣṇa Conscious life.
Your Servant,
Viṣṇu Lokapathi Dāsa,Diksa Disciple.
