Dearest Guru Maharaja,
Nama om vishnu padaya
Krshna presthaya bhutale
Srimate Jayapataka swamin iti namine
Nama acharya padaya
Nitai kripa pradayine
Gaura katha dhama daya
Nagara grama tarine
Please accept my respectful obeisance at your lotus feet on this very auspicious day of your Vyasa Puja.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada!!
All glories unto your Divine Grace!!
Happy Vyasa Puja Celebration!!!
Covid made our live solitary,
All bare and withered.
Staring at blankness,
Pondering on our yesterdays.
You worked day and night selflessly,
With no return desires.
Just willing only to serve Srila Prabhupada
With all that you had, nothing you aspired.
Though anchored in a place,
Your compassionate preaching branches
Reaching across blazing material sun,
Rain and Thunderstorm’s.
For the hunger, you drop nectar.
For the ache and trouble,
You mend their heart’s.
For sorrow and strife,
You bestow hope
Fallen us, take sanctuary.
In Your short smiling darshan
And shade beneath your lotus feet.
Towards our journey back to our Spiritual Home.
O Nectar of Mercy,
I am eternally indebted to Srila Prabhupada and Krishna for connecting me to you and allowing me to be in your spiritual daughter.
I, the most insignificant, sinner, ignorant, egoistic, corrupted, ill feeling soul do not really know what is good or bad, what to accept or to reject, when to be stubborn or when to be flexible. I bow to your Lotus feet and honestly plead for your causeless mercy. Please help your downtrodden child to be pure, qualified disciple; so that I always remember that I am the insignificant servant of the servant of the Supreme Lord and be able to fix my mind on Gauranga's Lotus feet. Also please guide this fallen soul to come to light and engage in distributing your bliss Harinam Sankirtan. You are so merciful that anyone who is most sinner and offender can be faultless by your look. Please forgive me for all the known and unknown offended I committed.
Your most insignificant servant,
