Dear Srila Gurudeva,
Please accept my most respectful obeisance to your divine lotus feet. All glories to Srila Prabupada. All glories to Your Divine Grace.

puruṣasyākhilātmanaḥIt is said that great personalities almost always accept voluntary suffering because of the suffering of people in general. This is considered the highest method of worshiping the Supreme Personality of Godhead, who is present in everyone’s heart. ( Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 8.7.44 )
Srila Gurudeva, your enthusiasm to deliver the fallen abominable conditional souls like me from the repeated cycle of birth and death is simply beyond imagination. Despite of your serious health condition, Gurudeva, you are taking so much of voluntary suffering just to give everyone the most precious love of godhead. You are traveling every corner of earth to freely distribute the mercy of Lord Nityananda. You do not see any previous qualification. Gurudeva, you are carrying Sri Sri Nitai Gauranga within your heart and turning every place you visit into a most sacred place on the universe.
Just by your merciful glance, hearts of living entities are purified. By your presence, auspiciousness and great fortune appear. The words which emanates from your lotus mouth, dispels illusion and clear my consciousness. Taking your divine association is perfection of my life. The dust of your lotus feet bestows pure devotional service and your lotus feet is my most worshipable object. I am so fallen and unqualified! How can I ever understand your unlimited glories?
What is the use of this body when I don’t serve your lotus feet. O my spiritual father, please give me a drop of your mercy. Maya is so powerful and I am constantly being beaten by her. I am begging and falling at your lotus feet. Please Gurudeva, give me the shade of your lotus feet. Please forgive all my offences and please shower your blessing to become your genuine servant by becoming the servant of those who serving you so sincerely.
Aspiring to remain eternally at your lotus feet,
Krishnaprema Pradayaka Dasa
