Hare Kṛṣṇa Guru Mahārāja,
Daṇḍavat praṇāma!
Please accept my humble respectful obeisances at your lotus feet.
All glories to you Guru Mahārāja!!!
All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda!!!
I am not qualified to write this homage. It is only by your mercy I am writing one on this glorious and most blessed “Vyāsa-pūjā”. Wishing you a very happy Kṛṣṇa conscious Appearance Day Śrīla Gurudeva.
For me, the best feeling of hope in this material world was the feeling of joy at the most cherishable moment of my life when you accepted me and my wife (Neha) as your Aspiring Disciples last year on 27th March 2021, my dear Guru Mahārāja. At the Aspiring ceremony, all our feelings of fear and anxiety were replaced with feelings of hope and happiness. At that moment, I knew you would always be our father, I knew you would always be our lighthouse in this journey to transcend from this material existence to the spiritual life full of devotion.
I get immense joy and hope whenever I listen to your lectures, videos, Q and A sessions. I would like to imbibe one of the spiritual guidance which you shared during a recent Q and A session. In this session, when you were asked about one instruction (among the many instructions you have given) that if your disciples follow, will please you. You answered that you would be very happy if the disciples read Śrīla Prabhupāda books and help in the preaching. I sincerely beg you to help me focus on this one spiritual instruction of yours to please You and Gaurāṅga.
My wife (Neha) also request your blessings for us to run a smooth and steady Kṛṣṇa conscious married life to embed and nurture Kṛṣṇa consciousness in our children (Parv and Ira), help and support each other to serve you by learning how to preach from our Bhakti-vṛkṣa sīkṣā Gurus: Ānandamaya Gopīnātha Dāsa Prabhujī and Śrīguru Bhakti Devī Dāsī Mātājī. We wish to preach and get more souls to your lotus feet. Please bestow your mercy upon us so that we can be fixed in your service.
My sincere prayers to Śrī Śrī Rādhā Gopīnātha and Lord Narasiṁhadeva for your good health, well-being and long life so that you can guide more fallen souls like me in fulfilling the glorious mission of Śrīla Prabhupāda.
Lastly please forgive me Guru Mahārāja for any offense that I have done at your lotus feet knowingly or unknowingly. Please shower your merciful glance upon me and my family so that we receive your causeless divine mercy to be always engaged in your service eternally.
Your most fallen servant and loving son,
Parag Bibekar (aspiring disciple),
