To my beloved spiritual father,
Dear Gurudeva,A
Please accept my most respectful and humble obeisances unto your lotus feet. All Glories to Shrila Prabhupad …!!! All Glories to Shri Guru and Shri Gauranga…!!!
On this most auspicious day of your Holiness, Vyaspooja, I pray to Their Lordships Shri Shri Radha Madhav Ashtasakhis and Shri Narsimhadeva to always protect you and give you good health.
Dear Gurudev,Through your personal example everyday, you teach us how to become fixed in Krishna Consciousness, no matter what..!!!! Your eagerness to serve Shrila prabhupad, even in such trying conditions and your complete faith in guru parampara are truly amazingly inspiring us fallen souls for whom your Holiness has sacrificed his good health and suffering on account of our weaknesses. We beg you to please forgive us.
Guru Maharaj,Every year, I try to glorify you. I am completely unqualified and fail to see the unfathomable compassion your Holiness has for all jivatmas. Wherever you are, hundreds of people get attracted to your pure self…!!! Everywhere you preach the cult of Shri Caitanya Mahaprabhu and Lord Nityananda, so selflessly, let it be nurses, doctors, staff, families, kids, youth, well-wishers, new comers, relatives, actors, singers, even priest from different temples and people from all various sects.It is like flood of mercy is flowing through you. So crystal clear, pure, magnetic and divine..!!!! All of us naturally love you so much!!!!!!!
Recently, a new Bhakti Vriksha has started at home. Many souls sent by you are interested and it is only because of your causeless mercy and blessing that my prabhu received in Ujjain when you visited there. Tears come in our eyes, when we experience how you so kindly keep us engaged in devotional services, though we are at a new place. Oh.. Gurudeva…!!!..we feel your care, affection and presence.
Though your Holiness is undergoing a treatment in Chennai still as usual you arrived in Mayapur for Gaur paurnima festival to serve Their Lordships, to serve your God brothers and God Sisters, all guests, gave initiations to fortunate souls. Your mood of service, working in unity and co-operation, kindness, humbleness, humorous nature and gratitude towards Shrila Prabhupad, and all those who are working hard to build the temple of Vedic Planetorium is exclusively incomprehensible. Your Holiness keeps giving and extending yourself so much in spite of such discomforts!!! You are a true Acharya!!!!!!!!!! We pray to you Gurudev to kindly give us this courage and hope to stand up and preach, even when we fall hard and reach rock bottom.
We are so fortunate to have such a spiritual master as you. We beg for your mercy to do the devotional services to the best of our capacities.
Gurudev,I beg you to please forgive us for all our offences, help us to be very serious, do our sadhana sincerely and give up all unwanted desires…. Please let our faith in Shri Guru, Shri Gauranga and Vaishnavas grow stronger and stronger.
I pray for all our seniors who have always guided us without whom we would not have continued in Krishna Consciousness, all congregations everywhere, all our Bhakti vriksha members, parents and relatives, my prabhu Mahananda Caitanya das, daughters Raspriya Radharani devi dasi and Riya for whom I beg your mercy so they can inspire today’s youth. Oh.. Gurudev…!!! Please please shower your mercy so we all preach, preach and just preach..!!!!
