Dearest Guru Maharaja,
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
Please accept my humble obeisances,
With great joy and gratefulness, I make a humble attempt to glorify Your Divine Grace on this joyous occasion of Your 70th Vyasa puja
Being an unqualified person to glorify Your Divine Grace, first of all I seek Your blessings to succeed in my attempts. I would follow the footsteps of great Vaishnavas in doing so.
In a lecture by His Grace Pankajanghri Prabhu mentions that,
Balarama is very close to Krishna, and he is the creator and leader of the gopa boys as He is well known of the things and activities which gives pleasure for the Lord both in spiritual and material world In spiritual world he represents the samvit and sandhini potency and enhances the pastimes of the lord for the Lord’s pleasure. In material world He takes care of the creation, through the expansion of his expansions, in the form of Mahā-Viṣṇu, Garbhodakaśāyī-Viṣṇu, and Kṣirodakaśāyī Viṣṇu. At present He is easily accessible as Lord Nityananda, because of whose mercy we get the mercy of Guru and from Guru’s mercy we get mercy of Gauranga kripa.
As a jiva shows inclination to cross over the material world, want to achieve the mercy of the Lord, Balarama as the Supersoul brings the Guru in his life. Gurudeva , we can practically hear him, serve him, touch him and see him. We should understand that Guru is non-different from Balarama because guru is doing the work of Balarama, He is representative of Lord Balarama and he engages us in the service of Krsna. The main business of Balarama is to engage everything and everyone in the service of Krsna.
Gurudeva wants us to serve Krishna and engage everything in Krsna’ s service and help others in serving Krishna the same principle of Balarama This is paramapara of serving Krsna
We can see by Your Divine Graces everyday activity, just purely the principle of Balarama. Your divine grace is an immeasurable ocean of kind and love the representative of Krsna appearing before us conditioned souls.

Our spiritual master is the ocean of mercy, the friend of the poor and the lord and master of the devotees. O, master! Be merciful unto me. Give me the shade of your lotus feet. Your fame is spread all over the three worlds.
There are unlimited glories of Your Divine Grace, but I would like to highlight one special one which moves my heart every time, Your personal care of each and every one of us, attention the details is a Vaishnava quality full exhibited in your Divine Grace. We might be in an illusion thinking that we feel Your Divine Grace in our life as a very special mercy of the Lord upon us but actually Your Divine Grace consider us stupid fools very special even with all the flaws, it is actually you make us feel special. Whenever we meet Your Divine Grace you make us feel that we are special, even though not worthy. In that way you inspire us in our devotional service. Thanking you would be very insignificant, what else can we do just follow the instructions which Your Divine Grace have been imparting every single day and always feel meek and humble and surrender unto Your Divine Grace will to please Srila Prabhupada mission.
In this meditation let me continue my services for Your Divine Grace pleasure, and let me be in constant remembrance of the lotus feet of Guru and Gauranga
The recent event of Your operation has been very intense and made us be more serious in our services and sadhana. But in course of we becoming serious You have to undergo so much of pain and prickings ..
How can we ever repay our debt to Your lotus feet?
Simply praying to bhakta vatsala Lord Narasimhadeva for you healthy, long life to carry out the mission Lord Nityananda of reaching to maximum conditioned souls and taking them to lotus feet of the Lordships Radha Madhava.
Yours in service
