Dear Guru Maharaj
Sub: Homage on your Vyasa Pooja 2020
Dandavat Pranam!
Nama acharya padaya nitai kripai pradayine, Gaura katha dama thaya nagara grama dayine
Namo om Vishnu padaya Krishna prasthaya boothaley, Srimathey Jayapatakaswamin idi namine
“All Glories to your auspicious appearance day”
On your appearance day, I humbly submit my homage unto your lotus feet.
Shrimad Bhagavatam says, ‘Dharmam hi saksad-bhagavad-pranitam’, the path of religion is directly enunciated by the Supreme Personality of Godhead. People tend to speculate or argue without any basis regarding the Absolute Supreme Truth. Instead, if a person approaches a bonafide Spiritual Master, the knowledge is passed on without any adulteration or one’s own view through the disciplic succession. By that way, I am fortunate to receive diksha from you in ’99 and trying to follow your instructions be in preaching, reading books, deity worship, Vaishnava service, etc.
I know that satisfaction of the self-realized spiritual master is the key to my advancement in spiritual life and I am not sure if I have made any progress.
Without your blessing and guidance, I would have been roaming around thinking that whatever little I was doing in terms of devotional service is supreme. You taught me the difference between praying demi-gods and the Supreme Personality of Godhead. But for you, I would have continued the wrong path and at the end of my life would have felt ‘deprived’. You saved me from this deprivation.
I am looking at my next step, i.e., Brahminical (2nd) Initiation during your Vyasa Pooja in April 2020. And need your blessings for this and on my birthday today.
Your menial servant, ever
