My dear Guru Maharaj,

Please accept my respectful obeisances.

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada.

On this auspicious day - I would pray to Their Lordships Sri Sri Jagannath, Baladeva and Devi Subhadra for your continued shelter on us all. Praying that your commitments to Srila Prabhupada continues gloriously and we somehow or other do our duty & responsibility of serving your intensions.

We know there are thousands of devotees praying for you on such days, and this is because you have thousands and millions of disciples in your prayers every day.

There are many great devotees mentioned in various scriptures. We hear of their lilas and admire them. But we, as your disciples, are so fortunate to experience a wonderful personality like your holiness first hand. There can be so much said about your energy levels - you bring enthusiasm in everyone - wherever you are, wherever you go, wherever you are heard. Your daily classes, the JSSS sessions in our temple every week, the daily quotes etc. are a big motivation to me.

This ISKCON family given by Srila Prabhupada gives me the confidence that I am personally protected and directed at every moment - and this is all because of your mercy in accepting me as your son. The family of senior and serious god brothers and god sisters who are showing so much love and care is something I can never repay. Just praying that somehow I also imbibe this mood of devotee care in my service to you.

Please bless us that we can continue to serve you more and more.

Your humble servant,

Sanatana Nitaigaura Das
