Hare Krishna Dear Guru Maharaj, 
Please accept my humble obeisances,

All glories to Guru and Gouranga.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada

All glories, All glories to your auspicious appearance day.

Guru Maharaj, on this most auspicious occasion of your 71st Vyas Puja, It is my great fortune to have gotten an opportunity to glorify you. Guru Maharaj, your glories are unlimited and I am completely devoid of knowledge and devotion, but I take this opportunity to glorify you with my limited intelligence for my own purification. Guru Maharaj, as stated in the Sastras, Krishna can easily offer a person material happiness or even liberation, but he does not award a person engagement in his devotional service because devotional service can, in fact, be attained only through the mercy of a pure devotee. From this statement, I understand that Guru Maharaj, you alone can bless me to achieve the platform of devotional service, other than this, there is no other way. Guru Maharaj further I do not aspire to serve the supreme lord directly because as Srila Vishwanath Chakravarti Thakur says only by the mercy of the spiritual master one receives the benediction of Krishna and without the grace of the spiritual master one can not make any advancement, therefore, I eternally aspire to remain an insignificant servant of yours.
Guru Maharaj. my mind is completely contaminated with lusty and sinful desires, how can I serve The Supreme Lord with such a contaminated heart. Guru Maharaj, I am completely devoid of good qualities instead I am filled with false pride, envy, egotism, and arrogance. By your teachings, I have understood that Lord Krishna is the highest object of worship, but due to my sinful deeds, I have neither taste in chanting the holy names nor serving the Vaishnavas. Guru Maharaj, when I think of my qualities, I feel ashamed of myself but when I think about the greatness of my spiritual master who is the most confidential servant of the Supreme Lord, I revive the hope of not being lost. Guru Maharaj. on this most auspicious day kindly give me your mercy and blessings, so that I can engage the rest of my life in doing whatever is dear to you and whatever pleases you. Guru Maharaj, in every lecture of yours, you emphasize on the importance of preaching Krishna Consciousness, kindly give me the strength to assist you in your preaching movement and thus be able to make my life sublime. 

Guru Maharaj, please bless me that whatever small preaching  I have taken up as of now, should expand even more vigorously and I should be able to bring more souls towards Krishna. Guru Maharaj, I take your association through your online classes and guidance from your senior disciples. Guru Maharaj, I get to read your daily quotes, question, and answers from various devotees and time and again you mention that you are praying for all your disciples, such is the mercy of my most munificent Spiritual Father.
Guru Maharaj, you are like a touchstone and whoever comes in your contact instantly starts chanting the name "Gauranga". this alone shows that you are not an ordinary person. Guru Maharaj, on this most auspicious day of your Vyas Puja I  pray to their Lordships Sri Sri Radha Madhav, Sri Narsimha dev and Sri Panchatatva that they bless you Guru Maharaj with long life, and good health so that you can deliver more conditioned souls like me by your merciful association.  

Guru Maharaj, on this auspicious day my only prayer is that please bless me that  I ever remain at the service of your lotus feet and help you in your service to Srila Prabhupada.

Yours eternal servant,
Sushmita Radhika Devi Dasi
