Hare Krsna, my beloved Guru Maharaj.
Please accept my humblest and most respectful obeisances to Your lotus feet.
All glories to You and all glories to Srila Prabhupada!
I am Gora Nata Raj das, Your spiritual son.
I take the opportunity of Your Vyasa Puja to thank You for always being close to me and teaching me to become a good devotee.
You have taken care of me since I was a child and I saw You as a gentle and powerful giant.
Many years ago, I was 6 or 7 years old, during Your visit to Villa Vrindavana, while You were climbing the long staircase that led to Your ashram, You, with a smile, pointed to one end of Your stick and I am there attached. You actually helped me up that long, steep staircase.
Even today You are pulling me up the stairway of spiritual life with Your firm grip and Your precious instructions, and I feel serene, protected and confident that if I follow Your teachings, I will succeed in my spiritual life.
Your blessings move me a lot, melt my heart and I can concentrate more on chanting the Holy Names and devote myself more to devotional service.
I have a very great desire to meet You in person and I pray Sri Nrisimhadeva to keep You in good health so that we can meet again and serve You.
I thank you again and again for accepting me as Your spiritual son and I hope you are happy with the commitment I put into singing, following sadhana and devotional service.
Your spiritual child
Gora Nata Raj das
