Dear Gurumaharaj,
Please Accept My Humble Obeisances,
All Glories To Srila Prabhupada,
All Glories To Your Holiness.
Happy appearance day Gurumaharaj. Another year passed and another golden opportunity for me to offer something to you, to say something to you.
The previous year was an unusual year when the world missed your direct darshan but also got blessed with your virtual darshan. Your earnest desire and enthusiasm for delivering the fallen souls is the only shelter for a true fallen like me. Your compassion is the only hope for the hopeless like me. Your concern itself is the refuge for shelterless like me. Your instructions are the compass to find the direction in the ocean of illusion.
When will the day come, when I can stand in front of you with a confident heart and say, ‘Yes, My dear Gurumaharaj, I am trying my best to follow all of your instructions'? Will that night ever come, when I can go to take rest with a smile on my face and say, ‘Yes, finally I could try to assist my Gurumaharaj in his service to Srila Prabhupada and Gurumaharaj has accepted this service’?
That one-pointed attraction to the lotus feet of Lord Caitanya, as shown by you, will I ever be able to attain that?
Dear Gurumaharaj, I don’t want to say big words or herculean promises. I just want to beg a simple thing, please bless me to be honest and transparent in my words and actions. At least I should be able to follow whatever I speak and that speech should never deviate from the teachings of the parampara that I hear from you.
Your insignificant disciple,
Padmamukha Nimai Das (Second Initiation)
Sri Mayapur Dham
