Nama om vishnu paddya krishna presthaya bhutale
Srimate Jeyapataka swamin iti namine
Nama acharya padaaya nitai kripa pradayine
Gaura katha dama daya nagara grama tarine
++All Glories to Sri Guru and Gauranga.
Dear beloved Spiritual Father,
Please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet. On this most auspicious day of your appearance, I humbly express our fortuitous condition, for we have been truly blessed with such an exalted and pure personality such as our Gurudev. You have given us hope in our worldly existence. I pray that by your endless mercy hat I will have imbibed the qualities to honor and serve you with full adherence. Please Gurudeva keep us always engaged in your divine service. May I always have the shelter of your lotus feet.
This year is very special for me that your Grace have kindly given me the second initiation at Your lotus feet, and for that gift I am forever grateful. I consider that day to be one of my most blessed day. It is through Your grace and mercy alone that I am able to make these tiny little steps on my journey of spiritual life. It is through Your grace and mercy alone that I am able to render some small service to Your lotus feet.
Every member of the glorious Vaishnava family is astonished by your strong and uncompromising service, and all of us are fully inspired and driven by Your nectarian mercy and grace, which is constantly distributed by You in a very friendly and highly devotional mood!
I beg eternally to always have the opportunity to serve your Divine Grace and to follow in your footsteps toward complete and absolute surrender to your Lotus Feet. Forgive my audacious and unqualified attempt to glorify one as Great as you. We are all living on your prasad remnants and I hope one day by your Divine Grace I may fully surrender to your desire. ara na koriho mane asa.
ohe! vaisnaba thakura, doyara sagara,
e dase koruna kori'
diya pada-chaya, sodho he amaya,
tomara carana dhori
O venerable Vaishnava. O ocean of mercy, be merciful unto your servant. Give me the shade of your lotus feet and purify me. I hold on to your lotus feet.
Hare Krishna!
Your insignificant servant,
Subhangi Radhika devidasi.
