Beloved spiritual father,
All Glories to Srila Prabhupada. All Glories to Sri Guru and Sri Gauranga.
Please accept my most humble and respectful obeisances unto your divine lotus feet.
Guru Maharaja, on this most auspicious day of your 70th Vyas puja, I sincerely pray to their Lordships Sri Sri Radha Madhav Asta Sakhi Vrinda, Sri Narsimhadeva and Sri Sri Pancatattva for your complete recovery at the earliest.
Guru Maharaj I don’t know how you are able to preach the message of Lord Krishna and spreading the mission of Lord Chaitanya without slowing down in spite of lot of health complications and inspiring lot of souls like me everyday. I have seen that when you were hospitalised in Chennai for at least a year there also you didn’t stop your preaching activity, instead you started preaching to the staff of the hospital and they started admiring you and started calling you - Guru Maharaj. In this state of condition also you were following the orders of Shrila Prabhupada.
Guru Maharaj with your blessing presently I am located at Toronto for my further studies and career, here I sometimes try to do services at temples during festivals and Sunday programs which is not enough service towards Krishna, Guru Maharaj honestly you know everything about me, I am not able to do my daily sadhana properly. Many times, I am not able to chant and even next day I am not able to cover up, instead my backlog of the chanting is increasing day by day, I beg at your lotus feet for your mercy and please bless me so that I can get taste in the holy names of Lord and chant properly and also be helpful to you as being an instrument in your hands to serve you to the fullest by following your divine orders, be helpful in spreading Lord Chaitanya’s Sankirtana Yagna and always be engaged in the service of the lotus feet of Vaishnavas.
Shrila Gurudev I beg at the dust of your lotus feet to kindly forgive me for all my offenses at your lotus feet and thus don't let me go away from the shelter of your divine grace. Please forgive me and kindly shower your blessings on me so that I can serve your divine grace without committing offences and fulfill all the promises given to you at the time of Initiation.
Your unworthy and insignificant fallen son.
Bhupati Jagannath Das.
