Oṁ ajnana timirandhasya jnananjana salakaya
Caksur unmilitam yena tasmai śrī gurave namah
Nama oṁ Vishnu padaya Kṛṣṇa prasthaya bhutale
Śrīmate Jayapatākā swamin iti namine
Nama ācārya padaya nitāi kripa pradayine
Gaura kathā dama daya nagara grama tarine
My dear spiritual father,
Please accept my most respectful obeisances at your lotus feet on this most auspicious day of your Vyāsa-pūjā. All Glories to your Holiness! All glories to His Divine Grace, Śrīla Prabhupāda! All glories to Saṅkīrtana movement of Lord Caitanya.
On this most auspicious occasion of your Vyāsa-pūjā, I feel most honored for the opportunity to thank you for all the blessings, protection, guidance and care that you are giving me at each and every step of my life. This wonderful occasion always reminds me how much I am sincere in my spiritual life, how much I am dedicated to our glorious movement.
Glorifying the Lord's devotees is recommended for one's spiritual practice and brings auspiciousness. By the sincere glorification and listening to the glorification from your dedicated disciples I get inspiration and charged up once again to carry on the devotional service throughout the year.
Recently, in our JSSS program we were listening to your glories, how you are able to attract the people to Kṛṣṇa consciousness whomever you are coming in contact with. As a true and obedient disciple of Śrīla Prabhupāda, you are delivering the whole world by spreading the message of Gaurāṅga, which is the highest truth and most welfare activities for the entire mankind. Your love and care, purity, selfless motive in serving Śrīla Prabhupāda, you always act according to guru, sādhu, and śāstra. You are very compassionate, humble, tolerant, appreciative. You always see good qualities in others. You never give up on people, are very responsible, loyal, always show gratitude to others however insignificant their offering may be. Always thinking of the welfare of others. The list goes on. Your qualities and glories are unlimited.
As it is mentioned in the scriptures that if we meditate, remember the qualities of the Māhājana’s one can imbibe the same qualities in oneself. I pray at your lotus feet, that I can follow in your footsteps and imbibe your mood so that I can represent you properly and assist you in spreading the mission of Lord Caitanya.
Guru Mahārāja, I am continuing my services here in Kṛṣṇa Kathā Deśa, as Bhakti-śāstrī tutor in regional language (Telugu), and as Principal for Balya Sevā Department apart from taking children’s classes. Need your blessings to complete the Bhakti Sastry first batch by August 2022. My desire is to assist in translating your books into Telugu language. Online Bhakti-vṛkṣa’s are ongoing by your mercy. Even though the strength has been reduced but the present attendees are almost all chanting and started following Ekādaśī. Few members have reached upto 16 rounds of chanting. Please bless all of them so that they can get connected to nearby temples or congregations and progress in Kṛṣṇa consciousness with their families.
Currently, I am doing my Bhakti Vaibhav course through Māyāpur Institute. Seek your blessings to properly understand the concepts of Śrīmad-bhāgavatam not only theoretically but also apply them in my life to progress further in Kṛṣṇa consciousness.
My daughter Amrutha & son Anirudha joins me in paying their respectful obeisances at your Lotus feet. They have enrolled for the Bhakti-śāstrī course and are on their way to the completion of the same. Please bless them so that they will be always in the association of devotees and in the path of Kṛṣṇa Consciousness all through their lives.
On this most auspicious day of your transcendental appearance, I am simply praying for your mercy so that all my material desires and my stupid endeavors to gratify my senses may disappear forever and I may be always hankering for opportunities to increase my service at your lotus feet. I may have the spiritual strength to execute my sadhana perfectly, my life be motivated and evolve around your exemplary quality of single-mindedness to serve Guru and Gaurāṅga.
On this auspicious occasion of your appearance, we pray to Lordships to protect you always, give you the strength and energy to carry on with your mission of spreading Kṛṣṇa consciousness ‘unlimitedly” as Śrīla Prabhupāda wanted you, for years and years to come.
Your insignificant daughter,
Ujjvalā Kālindī devī dāsī, 2nd initiated.
Kṛṣṇa Kathā Deśa
