Dear Guru Maharaj,
Please accept my humble obeisances,
All glories to srila prabhupada,
Wishing you a very happy appeareance day and to all my god brothers and god sisters. This will be very happy occassion not only for all of us but even more for you because you are very eager to always follow srila prabhupada and fulfill his orders and to give us an opportunity to serve you in serving srila prabhupada and thus deliver us from this material existence. Thus you are always happy and eager wherever you appear to spread the glories of the holy name and deliver the fallen souls.
I am still not able to practice the principles of devotional service perfectly even after several years after connecting to devotees. I pray at your lotus feet to pray for my spiritual well being and bless me to overcome lust, anger, greed, false ego, false pride, hatred, offences to devotees, enviousness, jealousy etc and develop qualities like tolerance, patience, humility, forgiveness, gratitude etc...
As the rsis of naimisaranya say in srimad bhagavatam:
yat pada samsraya suta
munaya prasamaayana
sadya punanti upasprsta
svardhun apo anusevaya
I took will like to pray in their footsteps to take complete shelter of your lotus feet which can help me purify more quickly than taking only shelter of bathing in the ganges or religious activities without your grace and mercy.
Your fallen disciple
