I offer my respectful obeisances unto my spiritual master, the deliverer of all fallen souls, whose mercy turns the dumb into eloquent speakers, and enables the lame to cross mountains.
My dear spiritual father,
Please accept my respectful obeisances
All glories to you on your auspicious appearance day
Personally, I have no ability to glorify your greatness and qualities as it is beyond words to be described. But, since it is the duty of the disciple to glorify his spiritual master this is a small attempt from my side in penning this offering to you.
When I saw you for the first time, the quality of yours which captured me the most was preaching. The ability of yours to preach the message of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu all over the world – no matter what the state of health be – was something beyond my thinking capacity. When you came to Damodardesh Yatra last year in September 2019, it was my first time to see you up close in your day-to-day activities. I was stunned when I saw the enthusiasm and energy you had in serving the words of Srila Prabhupada in preaching this cult to each and every individual soul. One of your instructions to your disciples is to think as to how to push forward Srila Prabhupada’s movement. Only by your mercy can I do this. Please have mercy upon me so that I can preach the cult of Mahaprabhu far and wide.
All glories unto your lotus feet!
Your Servant,
Ojasvi Krishna Dasa
