Dear Gurumaharaja,
Please accept my prostrated obeisances unto the dust of your divine lotus feet. All glories to Srila Prabhupada! All glories to you Gurudeva! All glories to yours 72 vyasa puja ceremony.
Gurudeva, hope you are doing well by the mercy of Sri Sri Radha Madhava, Sri Sri Panchatatva and Sri Sri Jagannath, Baladeva and Subhadra Maharani and Sri Narashimha deva. I am fine by yours causeless blessings. I was in the dark ocean of maya and miseries.I didn't know what to do and where to go at that time.You came as Krishna a himself in my life as my spiritual master and mostly as my father when I needed you most.In this material world where nobody cares for others you have given me shelter at your lotus feet On this auspicious occasion of yours vyasapuja ceremony it’s my good fortune to write something about yours glorification. Gurudeva, though I am not qualified enough to describe any drops of yours glory from the ocean like glories of yours but today as I am saying something from yours glories it’s because of yours mercy.
It heard about you when I was school student from my maternal Grandfather who visited Pundarik Dham at the time on the occasion of appearance day of Srila Pundarika vidyanidhi .He was impressed by your lectures and sweet voices.Although,I was born in chattagram,but my family are not connected with Vaishnava culture even if it close to mlecchá .First I met you in 2008 at Iskcon Prabartak Sri Krishna Temple, chattagram,Bangladesh at the occasion of Gour Mandal parikrama with many western devotees. You were doing kirtana loudly with your kartal jampu.I was always engaged in materials activities but it’s your causeless mercy that in 2017 at Sri Sri Radhamadhab Jew Temple, Sylhet, you gave me the initiation.
Gurudeva, your only target is to deliver the fallen soul from the suffering of the material world. But I am such a fallen child of your’s, spiritually that didn’t understand anything of any of yours qualities.Gurudeva, if your senior’s disciples or my elevated god brothers and sisters are so merciful to me then I thought that how much merciful you are to us! You provided me initiation but as a disciple I always disobey and misuse your causeless mercy. I am so fallen and engaged myself in sense gratification instead of devotion, this is the main reason for your physical issue. I am so unsteady and cheater and perform knowingly and unknowingly vaishnava-aparadha .Every second of your life is a lesson to us. Instead of many physical limitations every day you give us the chaitanya lila class and then virtual home visit. All these activities are so encouraging and inspiring that if I have enough intelligence to understand any of your qualities then there would be no question of distraction any time from devotional life. Please bless me so that I can learn something from you.
Gurudeva, your only goal is to satisfy Srila Prabhupada. Please bless me so that I can gain at least a little bit of this particular quality of yours to satisfy you. Gurudeva, please bless me so that I can remain fixated on yours and krishnas service and help you at least a little in accomplishing Srila Prabhupada's mission.By your causeless mercy I get so many things in my life that I didn’t actually deserve. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart for helping me and guiding me from inside and outside.
Please forgive my offences that I did knowingly and unknowingly to yours lotus feet and please bless me to become yours sincere disciple.
Happy 72th Appearance day Dear Gurumaharaja!!!
Yours insignificant son,
Narahari Priya Das(Diksa Disciple)
Sylhet, Bangladesh
