Dear Guru Maharaj,
Hare Krishna. Please accept my humble obeisances.
All Glories to your Lotus feet and All Glories to Srila Prabhupada.
On this very special day of your Vyas Puja, I offer my humble and respectful obeisances again and again at your Lotus feet. Guru Maharaj, I am not at all qualified and eligible to write about your glories. It is my good fortune that I got an opportunity to write my heart’s content in this Vyasa Puja offerings for you this year.
You are an epitome of mercy, and so very compassionate to useless souls like me. Even though you have many health issues, you are so determined and always working with enthusiasm to spread the Holy Names of Lord Krishna world-wide, and to carry out the instructions of Srila Prabupada. There are no words to describe your selfless service and compassion. My prayers to Sri Sri Radha Madhava, and Narasimha Deva, to bless you with good health, and long life, so that your preaching, and spreading of Krishna consciousness, could deliver unworthy souls like me from this material entanglement.
Dear Guru Maharaj, I beg your mercy and blessings to follow your instructions, serve you, your disciples and all Vaishnavas to the best of my ability, and to be of a small instrument to spread this glorious mission of Srila Prabhupada. I am a very fallen soul who is drowning in the ocean of material contamination. I seek your blessings to do my sadhanas properly and advance in my spiritual life. I am an aspiring disciple and beg your mercy to provide me shelter at your Lotus feet. I also seek your blessings for the spiritual wellbeing of my husband, Shankar and my son Karthick.
Your insignificant daughter
Rathika Shankar
