On ajnana timirandhyas ca jananjana salakhaya, caksur unmilitam yena, tasmai sri gurave namah!
Dearest Gurumaharaj,
Please accept my respectful obeisance!
All glories to Srila Prabhupad!
I take this opportunity to offer my heartfelt gratitude unto my glorious spiritual master, who is an embodiment of compassion, mercy, love, devotion and dedication.
I always cherish my good fortune of coming in touch with Srila Prabhupads books, reading which i became conscious of Lord Krishna and understood my own constitutional position of being an eternal servant of Lord Krishna.
Your words are so true Gurudev, in the song written by Your Divine Self, 'Yadi Prabhupad na hoite, tabe ki hoite'.what would have happened to us? If it was not for Srila Prabhupad, how would we ever get shelter of your Lotus feet? How would we ever understand Devotional service?
All glories to Srila Prabhupad!
All glories unto You,Srila Gurudev!
How will I ever be able to repay you the debt of the good fortune and the unlimited mercy you have bestowed upon me? I think the only way I can repay, is by keeping my own sadhana strong and making as many people Krishna conscious as possible.
You are a glorious disciple of Srila Prabhupad and your dedicated life of selfless service is an inspiration for every living being on this planet.
On this very auspicious occasion of your appearance day, I pray to you that may I develop attachment to your lotus feet, to chanting of the Holy name and to service of Vaisnavas. All that I am today, is your causeless mercy and all that I want, is your Causeless mercy!
Your heart is as wide and deep, as an ocean, and I feel fortunate that you have given me space in your heart, and have kindly engaged me in the service of Sri Sri Nitai Gauranga! I feel so safe, secure and fearless.
Thank you very much Gurumaharaj!
I beg for forgiveness for so many offences I must have committed. And I aspire for just one drop of the nectar of love of Lord Gauranga that you hold so dear in your heart.
Seeking the dust of your lotus feet, I remain,
Your insignificant servant ,
