My Dear Spiritual Father,
Please accept my respectful and humble obeisances at the dust of your merciful lotus feet, on this auspicious occasion of your appearance day.
Completely unqualified, I am, to glorify your endless and ever-increasing glories.
Guru Mahārāja, the path you lead from past decades is extraordinary and exemplary for all of us here in ISKCON and definitely for all upcoming Vaiṣṇava generation after generation. Everyone wonders, how you keep up the unstoppable mood of serving your spiritual Master dear Śrīla Prabhupāda in every breath. You never let anyone be bereft of Lord Gaurāṅga’s mercy whomever you met and give your glance. Recently, you completed your international preaching tour, distributing causeless mercy of Śrī Caitanya-Nitāi, despite of pain and adverse cold atmosphere. All glories to you Śrīla Gurudeva. You are the embodiment of mercy, whoever meets you, feel great spiritual ecstasy. You are the man of determination who always keep Guru’s order in the forefront. Despite of regular hectic schedule, you never missed to meet with the devotees and blessed them with beautiful Gaura-Kathā.
"PRESENT IN THE EARTH THE EMBODIMENT OF MERCY

On this auspicious occasion of your Vyāsa-pūjā, my humble prayer unto you, that; you please continue to give your blessings and mercy so that I can assist you and my dear Śrīla Prabhupāda in some small ways to bring more souls closer to Kṛṣṇa.
In bhakti the challenges are enormous, and I can overcome them only by your causeless mercy. Gurudeva you know very well that at every step of my devotional life I do so many mistakes and blunders, I have so many flaws but still you are mercifully teach me, allows me to do service; and never belittle me.
