Hare Krsna Srila Gurumaharaj
Namo om vishnu padaya krsna preshthaya bhutale srimate jayapataka swamin iti namine
namacharya padaya nitai kripa pradayine gaur katha dhaam daya nagar gram tarine
Please accept my respectful obeisance. All Glories to You and All Glories to Srila Prabhupada.
All Glories to Your Appearance Day Srila Gurumaharaj.
Gurumaharaj this is the seventh year of shelter period going on in the self realisation journey initiated by You and every year I have experienced beautiful new surprises. Every year I type homage for You and all are different from each other because each homage is filled with new lessons and new realisations that You have taught me to understand how we can please Sri Sri Radha Madhav.
Last year, after putting all kind of efforts in trying to complete the sevas instructed by you, I reached an extremely hopeless state in my spiritual life that I thought it was next to impossible to serve Your Lotus Feet properly. My consciousness and I both were in the process of silently trying to accept the defeat of my endeavours in completing those sevas but Your prayers, mercy and care brought a beautiful surprise in my life.The beautiful precious surprise is the advent of a very sincere grand-disciple of Srila Prabhupada whose association has started bringing a huge transformation in my understanding about Krsna consciousness. He is helping me do all the sevas which You always desired to see me doing.My wedding with Prabhu ji is on Your Vyas Puja day from which we all can understand that only Your mercy and prayer has sent a very sincere disciple of HH Gopal Krsna Goswami Maharaj in my life for serving Your Lotus Feet,Lotus Feet of Srila HH Gopal Krsna Goswami Maharaj, Lotus Feet of Srila Prabhupada and Lotus Feet of Sri Sri Radha Madhav nicely.
Gurumaharaj You are watching me all the time. I know very well now that the success in my Bhakti Yoga endeavours is because of Your mercy.. I know that I just try to do sevas like chanting, reading, studying, preaching etc. by putting my tiny little efforts but Your blessings and mercy help me do these sevas nicely and successfully. I can completely understand now that I have Your powerful shield and shelter which will always protect me. I always remember one verse from Caitanya Caritamrita 'mukum karoti vachalam pangum linghayate girim yat kripa taham vande shri guru taranam paramanandam madhavam sri chaitnaya ishvaram hari om tat sat which You always recite before starting Your class. The purport of the verse says 'By Your mercy Srila Gurumaharaj even a dumb man can became an orator and a layman can cross mountains, as advised by Lord Brahma I should remember this shastra injunction if I desire success in my life'. I have practically experienced that Your mercy on me has helped me reach achieve success in my Krsna consciousness endeavours.
I request You to always allow Prabhu ji and me to serve Your Lotus Feet for eternity.We are nothing without Your guidance, blessings and mercy Srila Gurumaharaj.
