Hare Krsna Guru Maharaj.
All glories to Nitāi Gaura Hari and Śrīla Prabhupāda.
On this glorious and auspicious occasion of your vyasa puja I offer you "koti koti " pranams at your lotus feet.
My beloved spiritual father I am eternally grateful that you have chosen me as your disciple.
I want to say that every breath of mine is filled with remembrance of you, of how u execute devotional service, the way you treat other devotees and how much you are surrendered to Rādhā Kṛṣṇa and Nitāi Gaurahari despite all the obstacles faced.
You teach me strength and endurance by the way you preserve in Krsna consciousness.
By the grace of Kṛṣṇa I have had opportunities to learn spiritual knowledge but by being your disciple and observing your practice this knowledge is slowly becoming realised.
It is said that just by seeing a maha-bhagavad one chants the holy name but my dear Gurumaharaj just by hearing you are even in a little bit of health difficulty the whole world chants the holy name. You have made me realise that I belong at your lotus feet.
The servant of your servant
