Dear Guru Maharaj,
Hare Krishna. Please accept my respectful obeisances.
Al Glories to your Lotus feet and All Glories to Srila Prabhupada.
This Vyasa Puja day is a very special occasion, and I offer my humble and respectful obeisances again and again at your Lotus feet. I am not at all qualified and eligible to write about your glories, and it is really my good fortune that I got an opportunity to write offerings. You are an ocean of mercy, and very compassionate even to useless souls like me. You are so determined, focussed and always working with enthusiasm to spread the Holy Names of Lord Krishna world-wide, and to carry out the instructions of Srila Prabupada. Although you have many health issues, you are always very much focussed in the service and no words can explain your selfless service and compassion to your disciples.
My prayers to Sri Sri Radha Madhava, and Narasimha Deva, to bestow you with good health, and a very long life. I beg your mercy and blessings to follow your instructions, serve you, your disciples and all Vaishnavas to the best of my ability, and to be of a small instrument to spread this glorious mission of Srila Prabhupada. I am a very fallen soul and seek your blessings to do my chanting and sadhanas properly and advance in my spiritual life. I also seek your blessings for the spiritual wellbeing of my family.
Your insignificant servant
Rathika Shankar
