Dearest Guru Maharaj,
Please accept my humble obeisances,
All glories to Srila Prabhupad,
All glories to your divine service to Srila Prabhupad.
Your appearance day is the most important day in the whole year for me. I’m so
grateful that by Krishna’s causeless mercy you had mercifully accepted me as your
diksha disciple almost twenty years ago.
In spite of not seeing you regularly, you are always in my heart and we are never
separated. You are guiding me most expertly and I feel safe remembering that I’m
close to your lotus feet.
Your picture is decorating my altar, and you are in company of my beautiful Deities
Panca Tattwa and Gaura Nitai.
On this most auspicious day, I would humbly ask you (if you so desire), to grant me
the blessings to become better devotee, and a pure devotee, so I can serve you and
Srila Prabhupada’s mission in a way which will be most pleasing to you.
I love you from the bottom of my heart, and pray to be your servant eternally.
Your insignificant but grateful diksha disciple,
Govinda Lilamrita dd
