Nama Om Vishnupadaya Krishnapresthaya bhutale
Srimate Jayapataka Swamin iti namine.
Namo Acaryapadaya Nitai kripa pradayine
Gaurakatha damodaya nagar grama tarine.
All glories to Guru and Gauranga
All glories to Srila Prabhupaad
Dear Gurumaharaj,
Please accept my humble obeisances at the dust of Your Lotus Feet on the most auspicious occasion of Your Vyasa Puja. One can never repay anything in return of the compassion showered by the Guru. Karana rahita kripanidhi rekhaha. We cannot repay but only show gratitude.Siddhho asmi anugrihito asmi.
Na guroradhikam tattvam , na guroradhikam tapah
Tattvajnanat param nasti, tasmai Sri Gurave namah.
In tackling Kali personified we need Your favourable glance to make our preaching endeavours successful.
You are still performing those Herculean tasks assigned to you by Srila Prabhupada and health has not been a deterrent factor or hindrance in your preaching activities!You had enormous duties to perform and very quickly many unpredictable results took place due to your incessant desire to spread Srila Prabhupada's mission.
I pray to Nitai Gaur to bless us with the benediction of having the opportunity of witnessing Your pastimes for a very very long time .We come and want to pray at Your Lotus Feet every now and then and so please keep a small corner at Your benevolent Lotus Feet for this fallen soul.
The symptoms of this abominable age of Kali is given in Srimad Bhagavatam:
Tatas canudrinam dharma Satyam Saucham Khshama Daya
Kalena balina rajan nan khshayati ayur balam smriti.
So in this age each day Religion, Truthfulness, Cleanliness, Forgiveness,Mercy , duration of life, bodily strength and memory will decrease more and more by the mighty force of Time.You are my only hope , Gurudev as I am devoid of all strength and intelligence .Every minute in the life of a pure devotee is relishable .Every action is a benediction and every word is a drop of transcendental nectar from the Spiritual World!I am simply begging to the Lord that He kindly allows Your Grace to enliven our worthless selves for many years to come.On this day of Your appearance I feel deep appreciation!
Our Bhakti Vriksha here in Sydney has many young souls attending and taking part in discussions and asking a lot of deep and pertinent questions. They are quite fired up and talk to other friends in their Universities they attend. This is extremely encouraging. We took part in the marathon book distribution during Gita Jayanti and our members took part as well.
Please keep this worthless soul at Your Lotus Feet birth after birth as we want to engage all our mind body and words( Kaya mano vakyena) undividedly for the pleasure of your Service!
Your most fallen Disciple
