My dear gurumaharaj,
Please accept my respectful obeisances at the dust of the lotus feet of your divine grace. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. All glories to guru and Gauranga.
Gurumaharaj, I am very grateful for all the kind blessings and mercy bestowed upon me for enabling me to practice devotional service nicely. I am very grateful for removing all obstacles in my path of devotional service so that I can execute my service to guru maharaj and Krishna nicely. I am very grateful for giving me a drop of your limitless mercy and compassion so that my chanting and other processes of devotional service become tasteful, meaningful, satisfied and not satiated. Providence has bestowed abundance upon me in the dust of the Lotus feet of your divine grace. Please enable me to be always grateful and indebted to the dust of the lotus feet of your divine grace.
Gurumaharaj, my sadhana is going on nicely, so is my reading of Srila Prabhupada’s books and hearing lectures and Deity worship all of which is enriching my devotional service always at the dust of the Lotus feet of your divine grace for which I beg to remain indebted and grateful life after life.
Corona has taken away much of momentum and impetus in personal interaction with congregation and so with new entrants and family members, but somehow or other I took recourse to the lectures, videos and transcripts of gurudev and ISKCON guru vrindha to preach and reach out to connect everyone to the dust of the Lotus feet of gurudev.
On this most magnanimous and auspicious occasion of gurudev’s Vyasa pooja, it our ardent prayers to Srila Prabhupada, the previous acharyas, Lord Narasimhadeva, Panchatattwa, Radha Madhava, Lord Jaganatha- Bhaladheva-and Subhadramai to bestow upon gurudev good health and long presence in the planet so that there is auspiciousness in all the universes and a source of shelter for all of us fallen souls.
On this auspicious occasion, please be merciful, magnanimous and benevolent and forgive my lapses, offences in my devotional service and unto the Lotus feet of gurudeva, and enable me to be somehow or other be useful to ISKCON and in all the services of gurudev.
On this most glorious occasion, please be merciful, magnanimous and benevolent so that thousands can attain the shelter of gurudev and empower us to remain steadfast at the divine lotus feet of Gurudev.
With very many ardent prayers at the dust of the Lotus feet of your divine grace.
Servant of your divine grace,
