I offer my respectful obeisances unto my spiritual master, who has opened my eyes, which were blinded by
the darkness of ignorance, with the torchlight of knowledge.

My dear gurumaharaja;
Please, accept my respectful obeisances to your lotus feet.
On this special occassion, of your 71st vyasa puja, i want to take the time to write something for you.
My dear gurumaharaja you mean everything to me. You are a bonafide representative of krsna, you give us your causeless mercy and love to all of us, fallen souls. Honestly, I have nothing to offer you, however, you have given me so such.
I possess my anarthas but despite them, you have mercifully accepted as your disciple. Scriptures said that the spiritual master must be honored and gloried. therefore, I want to open my heart to you and offer you all I have, although It is little compare to what you deserve.
My dear gurumaharaja, during this time of uncertainty, worries and chaos because of this coronavirus, you are there for us, and that means a lot to us.You give us hope and strength to go through any challenge. I want you to know that listening to your words, inspire us to go on fighting in the battle against maya. We don't know what the future holds, but we do know, that you, gurumaharaja, will be there for us.
This fallen soul has nothing to offer you, but I pray to you with all my heart, please gurumaharaja allow me to be an instrument in your hand. My deep desire is to be better for you and be able to offer you the best I could ever have.
My dear gurumaharaja, you are the torchlight in my life, you are my strength and inspiration to believe that everything is possible in Krsna Consciousness. Please, I humbly request you to bless me so that I am always attached to your lotus feet and thus be engaged in your service all my life.
Eternally grateful,
Your servant
