Dear Guru Maharaj,
Nama Om Vishnu padaya Krsna preshtaya bhutale
Srimate Jaypataka Swami iti namine
Nama Acharyapadaya Nitai kripa pradayine
Gaura katha dhama daya Nagar grama tarine
On this auspicious day on your 71st Vyasa Puja please accept my obeisances at your lotus feet. All glories to you on your Vyasa Puja.
S.B 3.25.21
Titiksavah karunikah
Suhrdah sarva dehinam
Ajata-satravah santah
Sadhavah sadhu-bhusanah.
Translation: The symptoms of a sadhu are that he is tolerant, merciful and friendly to all living entities. He has no enemies. He is peaceful, he abides by the scriptures and all his characteristics are sublime.
I am indeed fortunate that I have such a great personality such as thyself who is my spiritual master. Just like the above sloka you are endowed with such great qualities that to pen them down is doing injustice to such a towering personality.
It hurts to see u cough when ur delivering lectures. It makes me also realise that inspite of so many obstacles on the health front, your determination and enthusiasm to carry on Srila Prabhupada's mission is your primary goal. It makes us realise that as disciples we have so many things to learn to become dedicated and help serve you and Srila Prabhupada better. Gurudev, we have a long way to go but with your mercy and guidance even if we are able to help you to a small extent we would be greatful for the service rendered.
The TOVP's fast progress is encouraging us to visit the holy dham once again and seek the mercy and blessings of lord Chaitanya and the Pancha Tattva. We are hoping we can make some contributions for TOVP and your memorial land as well.
Dhyana Moolam Guru Murti
Puja Moolam Gurur Padam
Mantra Moolam Guru Vakyam
Moksa Moolam Guru kripa
From: Guru kripa- skanda purana.
Translation: The Guru's form is the best to meditate upon, the Guru's feet are the best for worship, the Guru's word is the mantra, the Guru's grace is the best for liberation.
I am hoping that by keeping this sloka close to my heart, I will try to serve you to the best of my capacity. Please bless me to serve you better. I am indebted to you for lifetimes to come for the mercy that you have showered on this fallen soul. Please forgive me if I have committed any offenses while executing my sadhana.
I am praying to their lordship Radha Madhav and the Ashta Sakhis, Pancha Tattva deities, lord Narsimha and Srila Prabhupada to bestow good health and a long blissful life in Krsna Consciousness.
Your humble servant,
Chitramalini Devi Dasi.
Diksa Disciple.
