mūkaṁ karoti vācālaṁ
paṅguṁ laṅghayate girim
yat kṛpā tam ahaṁ vande
śrī guruṁ dīna-tāraṇam
[Cc. Madhya 17.80]
It is possible if we become obedient student of guru, then even though we may be dumb, deaf and dumb, still, we can become good lecturer. Mūkaṁ karoti vācālam, talk very much about Kṛṣṇa. This is Kṛṣṇa's grace, mūkaṁ karoti... Paṅguṁ laṅghayate girim: if one is lame man, he is made to cross over the hill, mountain. This is the mercy of guru.
Guru Mahārāja! Please accept my respectful obeisances unto the dust of your lotusfeet. Happy 72nd Vyāsa-pūjā. All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda.
Whenever I see you giving classes and travelling worldwide for preaching, I remember above verses and its purport by Śrīla Prabhupāda.
Your goodself is proof of the mercy of guru. After stroke and paralysis you were not able to speak and walk properly. Because you are obedient student of Śrīla Prabhupāda, you are speaking about Kṛṣṇa and Caitanya Mahāprabhu to millions of population. You are crossing hundreds of hills and mountains to reach devotees in another continents to speak about Kṛṣṇa and Caitanya Mahāprabhu. This is only because you are sincere and obedient student of your guru, Śrīla Prabhupāda.
I seek your mercy so that I can be as obedient as your goodself.
