Hare Krishna,
Dear Gurudeva,
Please accept my humble obeiscences,
All Glories to Srila Prabupada,
All Glories to Sri Guru and Gauranga,
While tossing in the waves of this material ocean, full of miseries and distress, you lifted me up with your lotus hands. You bestowed your mercy without my knowledge, though I was quite unworthy of it. I remember the first time I met you personally, you caught hold of my hand and did not leave it for a long time. I did not realize the transformation that it bought in me, until many years passed by. Looking back, now I realize that indeed you were so merciful that you held my hands to pick me up. I am grateful to so many vaishnavas who were compassionate upon me and helped in connecting me to my spiritual master, without whose help I would have lost and drowned in the bhava sagara.
I try hard to remain afloat with your blessings. I pray that I can be a useful instrument in your hands so that I can be of some help in serving the mission of Srila Prabupad and Mahaprabhu. I pray that I get the necessary intelligence to understand your transcedental mood and desires and could align my thoughts and deeds accordingly. I pray that I get the qualification that I can always remember my spritual master and the Supreme Lord at all times.
I feel very unqualified to sufficiently glorify you. But I always wonder how you are so much fixed up in Krishna Consciousness and able to always remember Lord Gaurasundara and Lord Nityananda. You are so much determined that you seem to disregard all your externall physical discomforts to serve the mission of Mahaprabhu. You are so merciful that you always keep your disciples in your prayers and always think of their welfare.
I pray for your blessings that I become more serious in my sadhana and can get an iota of your dedication and determination that you have to serve your spiritual master.
I pray that Lord Gaura Sundara continue to shower his mercy upon you so that you continue to get the strength to save many more fallen souls.
Your insignificant servant,
Ranachora Govinda Dasa
