Hare Krishna Dearmost Gurumaharaja,
Please accept our most respectful obeisances at your divine lotus feet. All glories to your tireless services to the movement of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu. All glories to your most illustrious spiritual master Srila Prabhupada.
yadyapi amara guru caitanyera dasa
tathapi janiye ami tanhara prakasa
Although I know my guru is a servitor of Sri Caitanya, I know that He is a full manifestation (prakasa) of the Supreme Personality of Godhead Himself. (Cc. Adi 1.44)
Dear Father,
As an eternal associate of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, you are perfectly manifesting His mercy potency. You are bestowing your unconditional mercy upon innumerable conditioned souls of the world as ourselves. Without any cessation, you are infusing Krishna prema into the heart of the devotees who are listening to you over different online medium. Your ecstasy while narrating Chaitanya Leela makes us feel the transcendental realm where every word is a song, every gait is a dance. Even though you have nothing to do with this material world, you are staying with us only to deliver us. But, we are so unfortunate and conditioned, we don't take it seriously. We don't understand your topmost positional as an acharya because of our ignorance and insincerity.
During last year Vyasa Puja, we have asked for your blessings to start two Bhakti Vriksha sessions and with your sanction, we are able to start and continue this service till now. In this pandemic many things got bizarre. However, you showed us the path to turn the odds into favour. You vigorously started preaching via all online medium and everybody realized this can be an excellent way to reach all the corners of the world.
When you got affected by Covid, devotees around the world got together once again and collectively prayed to the Lord Chaitanya to cure you without any complications. However, we very much understand this is your leela to make us pray with emotion and intent. You have a direct connection with the Supreme Lord and you can do anything and everything which is beyond our jurisdiction. But, you never fail to seize any opportunity to engage us in Krishna's service.
Dear Gurudeva,
We are always grateful to you to keep us under the able protection of your dear godbrother HG Vaisesika Prabhu who is always guiding us in our all devotional endeavours. He is always encouraging us to execute strict sadhana, studying sastra and outreaching people in all possible ways. He brings us more closer to your lotus feet by his personal instructions to us and glorification about you. Even though we have no qualification, still you have provided us with the best possible opportunity to execute devotional service.
Ohe Vaishnava Thakura!
Please bestow upon us your real mercy! Please give us the transcendental vision to realize your glories! Please make us attracted to your lotus feet! Please make us an instrument of yours to serve Srila Prabhupada's movement! We have no hope to progress other than your causeless genuine mercy.
Your Eternal Servants,
