Hare Krishna Our Dearest Gurumaharaj,
I offer my most respectful dandavat pranams at the dust of your lotus feet. All glories to Jagad-Guru, Srila Prabhupada and all glories to your loving kind divine grace.
I wish you a very happy vyasa-puja and pray to Lord Narasimhadeva for many happy returns of this auspicious day. Guru-Maharaj, this past year has been full of realizations and new spiritual experiences by your blessings. Keeping you at the center of my life, each day I can feel how your causeless mercy flows unconditionally in the upkeep of my devotional service.
Guru-Maharaj, you have made all arrangements not only for your disciples but also for humanity at large through your many innovative ways of getting your association through your lectures, live internet broadcasts, activity reports etc. In every activity of yours, you never fail to strengthen our commitment and conviction to Srila Prabhupada and ISKCON. In an exemplary way, you teach us the mood of becoming an eternal sisya by displaying your unconditional pure love for Srila Prabhupada. I was reading the book Srila Prabhupada Vyasa puja offering by you. After reading those homages, I cried to see the love and faith you have for Srila Prabhupada. You have surrendered your life to your spiritual master in order to fulfill the mission of Caitanya Mahaprabhu. Gurudeva, your life examples strengthen many lives.
On this auspicious day, I pray to remain a speck of dust at your lotus feet, O my beloved Guru-Maharaj. Wishing you the most wonderful vyasa-puja celebration repeatedly.
Gurumaharaj, lastly, I beg and beg at your divine lotus feet, please forgive all my unlimited offenses and keep me at your lotus feet forever. Gurudeva, I will be very happy if fallen soul like me will be able to serve you in any way.
Love you very dearly!!
Your insignificant servant
