“I was born in the darkest ignorance, and my guru, my spiritual master, opened my eyes with the torch of knowledge. I offer my respectful obeisance unto him.”
I am very thankful to you for bringing me into this wonderful Krishna conscious movement. You are a living inspiration on how to serve Guru and Gauranga. I am very fortunate to get this opportunity to Glorify your wonderful qualities on the most auspicious day of your 71st Vyasa Puja.
In spite of your health challenges you have been travelling around the world and preaching Krishna Consciousness to all the fallen souls. You have been rescuing us from this ignorance. I have heard that you don’t even waste a single moment and try to utilize that time in preaching Krishna Consciousness. You have always been in the mood of serving the devotees and take personal care of them.
Gurudev you are always focused on how to preach and fulfill Srila Prabhupada’s instruction. Days passing by, you are accomplishing all the instructions given to you by Srila Prabhupada. You are setting a great example on how to follow the instruction of a spiritual master.
My sincere prayer to Sri Sri Radha Madhava, Sri Pancatattava and Narasimha Dev to shower their blessings unto you for Good Health.
Gurudev please forgive me for the offense that I have committed knowingly or unknowingly. Please bless me that I always be engaged in devotional service and assist you in fulfilling Srila Prabhupada’s instructions.
Once again, I offer my humble, respectful obeisance to you Gurudev.
Your insignificant servant,
Lokesh (Shelter Disciple)
