nama om vishnupadaya krisha presthaya bhu-tale
srimate Jayapataka swamin iti namine
nama acharyapadaya nitai kripa pradayine
gaura katha dhama daya nagara grama tarine
Dear Guru Maharaj,
Please accept my respectful obeisance unto the dust of your lotus feet.
On this most auspicious day, of your 72nd Vyas Puja, I would humbly like to express my feelings of earnest gratitude to you for everything that I am.
Thank you Gurumaharaj for inspiring us daily with Gaura kathas. We are immensely fortunate to be able to listen and learn directly from you daily. The spiritual strength from your daily kathas is what keeps insignificant souls like me motivated to do more and more service. All glories, all glories to your transcendental activities, your thoughts, words and deeds that are always absorbed in glorifying the Supreme Lord.
Every year my realisations have grown deeper and Vyas Puja offerings shorter. I am unable to express my gratitude, merely by words, for the depth of your mercy, love, care, guidance and instructions. My debt to you increases with breath that I take. Therefore, I humbly pray at your lotus feet so that I may remain a useful instrument, in your hands, in spreading this most glorious movement of Gauranga Mahaprabhu until my last breath.
On this most auspicious day, together with my family, I pray to Sri Sri Gandharvika Vamsivihari and Sri Lakshmi Narasimhadev to give you a long and healthy life. Although greatly unqualified, we are constantly praying to the Lord for your welfare as this life of Krishna consciousness is only by your mercy and we are indebted to you eternally.
Your eternal servant,
Kuladipika sundari devi dasi
