Dear Guru Mahārājā,
Please accept our respectful obeisances unto your lotus feet on your Vyāsa-pūjā day. All glories to your divine Grace and all glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda and all previous ācāryas. Guru Mahārāja, Your divine qualities are countless. As insignificant souls we would not be able to fathom your qualities.
For our purification and glorifying one of the commanders of Śrīla Prabhupāda’s army let us enumerate some of the wonderful qualities by which you attract everyone towards you, Śrīla Prabhupāda and ultimately to Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa.
In all circumstances whether you are in temple, hospital or airport or anywhere else you show your dependency on Śrīla Prabhupāda and previous ācāryas. All the activities in your life are according to the instructions of Śrīla Prabhupāda.
Attention to details: Your divine grace is always concerned about everyone. Your divine grace always arrange for someone to repeat your words or make arrangement for translation to other languages depending on the place you visit so that all can hear and understand the message.
We are inspired by Your divine grace's message on "Never give up" and it is inline with Śrīla Prabhupāda's message of "Push on the movement" and your daily messages / classes on Facebook.
Irrespective of your divine grace's health and medicial conditions, you are always absorbed in spreading the Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement and fully give yourself for preaching and spreading the glories of Lord Śrī Caitanya Mahaprabhu.
Under Your divine grace's instructions the Chida-Dadhi Mahotsav is celebrated along with Snana Yātrā in Melbourne and it is becoming more and more popular.
We are inspired by Your divine grace's instructions on caring for the devotees and try to implement in a small way.
Your divine grace is always reaching out for the new people and encourage them and always finding good qualities in people, bringing them out and engaging them in Kṛṣṇa consciousness. We recall your narration about how your divine grace was enthused and inspired by HG Jayānanda Prabhu when you joined the movement and assisted in building Ratha Yātrā cart for Lord Śrī Jagannāth.
Your divine grace is very practical, personal and gradually bring the disciple to higher levels of Kṛṣṇa conscious realizations.
Your divine grace is very merciful and whomever you meet whether in the hospital or airport or casual walk you try to give them the benefit of Kṛṣṇa conscious association.
Guru Mahārājā, you are always selfless and try to deliver anyone who comes to your shelter. On this day of your divine appearance let us pray that we remain loyal to you, Śrīla Prabhupāda and all ācāryas and try to understand your mood of preaching and try to assist your divine grace in whatever little possible ways.
Please allow us to pray to Śrī Śrī Narasiṁha Deva to protect you so that you continue delivering more and more conditioned souls to Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa's shelter.
Please forgive our countless offenses and bless us so that we may remain in the association of devotees.
