Dear Guru Maharaja,
Please accept our respectful obeisances unto your lotus feet on your Vyasa puja day. All glories to your divine Grace and all glories to Srila Prabhupada and all previous acharyas.
Guru Maharaj, Your divine qualities are countless. As insignificant souls we would not be able to fathom your qualities. For our purification and glorifying one of the commanders of Srila Prabhupada’s army let us enumerate some of the wonderful qualities by which you attract everyone towards you, Srila Prabhupada and ultimately to Lord Sri Krishna.
1) Dependency on Srila Prabhupada: At all circumstances you show your dependency on Srila Prabhupada and previous acharyas. All the activities in your life are according to the instructions of Srila Prabhupada.
2) Your divine grace's constant absorption in spreading the Kṛiṣhṇa consciousness movement.
3) Preaching vigorously: In spite of many health and physical restrictions, your divine grace do not mind and worry about the inconveniences and fully give yourself for preaching and spreading the glories of Lord Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu.
4) Your divine grace is always reaching out for the new people and try to encourage them in participating preaching programs.
5) Your divine grace is always finding good qualities in people, bringing them out and engaging them in Krishna consciousness.
6) Your divine grace is very practical, personal and gradually bring the disciple to higher levels of Krishna conscious realizations.
7) Your divine grace is very merciful and whomever you meet whether in the hospital or airport or casual walk you try to give them the benefit of Krishna conscious association.
8) Your divine grace’s enthusiasm and commitment to the projects like TOVP, congregational preaching, Bhakti Vriksha are so great that you continue to involve yourself despite your health conditions.
Guru Maharaja, you are always selfless and try to deliver anyone who comes to your shelter. Recently we read one of your message to disciples about selecting life partner / match. Your message was so compassionate that as a spiritual father, you enumerate various ways of handling this. We were very much touched by the elaborate details you have provided in the message.
On this day of your divine appearance let us pray that we remain loyal to you, Srila Prabhupada and all acharyas and try to understand your mood of preaching and try to assist you whatever little possible ways.
Please allow us to pray to Sri Sri Narasimha Deva to protect you so that you continue delivering more and more conditioned souls to Lord Sri Krishna's shelter.
Please forgive our countless offenses and bless us so that we may remain in the association of devotees.
Your insignificant servants
