Nama Om Vishnu padaya Krsna presthaya bhutale
Srimate Jayapataka Swamin iti namine,
Nama Acharya padaya Nitai kripa pradayine
Gaura katha dhama daya nagara grama tarine”
Nama Om Vishnu Padaya Krsna Presthaya Bhutale
Srimate Bhaktivedanta Svamin iti namine
Namaste Sarasvate deve Gaura vani pracharine
Nirveshesha sunyavadi pashchatya desa tarine
Hare Krsna ,
Dearest Guru-Maharaj,
Please Accept My Respectful Obeisances at the dust of your lotus feet.
All glories to your auspicious appearance day, it is a great honor to have your blessing and spiritual guidance in the service of his HDG AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada and his followers.
The Vedas assert, specifically in the Svetashvatara Upanishad (3.19):
apani-pado javano grahita
pashyaty acakshuh sa shrinoty akarnah
sa vetti vedyam na ca tasyasti vetta
tam ahur agryam purusham mahantam
“Without legs and hands, He moves and accepts. Without eyes He sees, and without ears He hears. He knows all that is knowable, but no one knows Him. They call Him the original Supreme Person.” To protect this assertion of the Vedas,Lord Jagannatha takes His form without hands and legs. Still, Lord Jagannatha is able to accept fifty- six different types of food, offered eight times daily, and He tours the world in His splendid carts.’’
I sincerely pray to Lord of the universe Sri Jagannath to instruct all your well wishers and followers in assisting you with fulfilling the dream of our founder Acharya with the beautiful TOVP planetarium and other Iskcon projects
By the mercy of the Lord and his devotees, last year I got an opportunity to visit Puri Dham and served some vaisnavas. I would like to offer all the spiritual mercy of my yatra in Purusottama Kestra to you on this glorious occasion of your 71st Vyas puja on April 4th 2020 .
Caitanya Caritamrta Adi lila Verse 1.1
vande gurūn īśa-bhaktān
īśam īśāvatārakān
tat-prakāśāṁś ca tac-chaktīḥ

I offer my respectful obeisances unto the spiritual masters, the devotees of the Lord, the Lord’s incarnations, His plenary portions, His energies and the primeval Lord Himself, Śrī Kṛṣṇa Caitanya.
Getting the blessings of the spiritual master is sometimes referred to as “receiving the dust of his lotus feet.” The spiritual master’s feet are called “lotus” because just as a lotus sits above the water, the spiritual master, untouched by the material energy, lives in the world but is not part of it.
Dear Gurudev, thank you for keeping us under your shelter eternally and forgive us for all offenses.
Servant of your servant
