Please accept our most respectful obeisances unto your lotus feet,
All Glories to Srila Prabhupada, All Glories to You, our dearest Guru Maharaj,
All Glories to your auspicious appearance day, our deep heartfelt gratitude to you, for accepting us in your shelter and constantly showering us with your causeless mercy and care.
Simply by remembering the spiritual master, the devotees of the Lord, and the Personality of Godhead, one invokes their benedictions, destroys all difficulties, and very easily fulfills one’s own desires. (Caitanya caritämåta, Ädi-lélä 1.20–21)
You are epitome of the above verse Gurudev, we have realised it in our life, only due to your causeless mercy. Your appearance is our fortune, you who has kindly picked us up from this deep dark well of material world and kindly given us the shelter of your lotus.
Guru Maharaj you exemplify the great qualities like kindness, compassion, well wisher to all, humble, truthful, without false prestige, steady, fixed, equal to everyone, Magnanimous, mild, peaceful, self controlled, cleanliness, exclusively surrendered to Guru and Krishna, expert, grave, humorous, friendly, poetic and so many more glorious qualities which our small minds are yet to comprehend.
Meditating your great qualities purifies us and brings us all auspiciousness and so wonderfully you teach them by your own example and freely drowning us in Mahaprabhu's nectarean pastimes and mercy everyday, leaving an unlimited legacy.
On this day of the most auspicious Vyasa Puja we pray and beg you Gurudev to develop unflinching faith and love for your divine lotus feet which is our only shelter. Also pray that we will be constantly engaged in your service and please you and the vaishnavas.
Please forgive us for any offenses we have committed knowingly and unknowingly to your divine grace and to the vaishnavas, and make us your insignificant instruments at your lotus feet, to fulfill Srila Prabhupada's instruction to you Guru Maharaj.
Your insignificant and eternal servants
