Dear Śrīla Guru Mahārāja
Please accept my respectful obeisance unto your divine lotus feet. All glories to your causeless mercy and compassion on us, all glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda.
Since you have given my new birth in 2016 through Harināma initiation, I always realise that my daily sadhana (inattentive chanting) may not be pleasing you. I felt guilty, hence constantly and wholeheartedly trying my best to bring up to the level you except. I very frequently listen your “never give Up” youtube videos and Initiation lecture you delivered on 23rd March Gaura Pūrṇimā Day in Māyāpur to keep myself inspired in my practice. Even though I was completely unqualified, and I think still I am, from the ocean of mercy, you have accepted me as your insignificant son, what else can be the best blessing in this material world could be for me. In whatever way I make an attempt to glorify you on your 73th appearance day, words will merely be shorter. When every time I listen to your 80’s lectures, I feel that you have one of the main forces and strongest pillars to move forward Hare Kṛṣṇa movements till now in 2022. From the very beginning of the Covid pandemic, you have established an amazing and super exceptional way to keep in touch via zoom and facebook with all your initiated, sheltered, aspired and well-wishers throughout the whole world online participants. I missed you very much on my son Yaduvīra Dās’s 2nd appearance day to get your blessing as by only your mercy he can be warrior of Śrīla Prabhupāda’s army to spread Kṛṣṇa Consciousness in their time which will be our next generation. I am trying to complete Bhakti Śāstrī Course, please Guru Mahārāja, keep showing your lotus hand on my head so that I will be enabled to complete this course, keep cleansing all the anarthas from my mind to become humble and if Kṛṣṇa and you so desire can advance in devotional life. Even though I am a glow warm intolerant material living being, without your mercy, it will not be possible at all to get going and worshiping our home deity “Nitāi Gaur Sundar”. Please Guru Mahārāja, I humbly beg your blessing so that by doing a strong sadhana, I can improve first my practice and inspire all of our Bhakti-vṛkṣa members to grow in Kṛṣṇa Consciousness and expand myself in more preaching capabilities in the same way as you are unconditionally distributing Nitāi Kṛpa to all conditioned souls. Kṛṣṇa has so many times helped me to have you in my dream very recently where either you are chastening me (which is the best way to receive your blessing and mercy), or travelling with you in various preaching services where I see you are stout and very much healthy! Recently again in dream, you have been again instructing me how I can serve more Saṅkīrtana devotees and I was pretty much touched that you are always with me to keep myself out of illusory energy (Māyā) through engaging to serve Vaiṣṇavas without committing offences to them.
At last I humbly beg your forgiveness for all of my offences I might have been committed unknowingly or unintentionally on your lotus feet. From my bottom of heart, I sincerely pray for you to Lord Nṛsiṁhadeva, Rādhā Mādhav Aṣṭasakhī, Pañca-tattva and Jagannātha Baladeva and Subhadrā Mahārānī, you become as fit like you were in 2008 before stroke. If Lord Nṛsiṁhadeva is so desires, I really want to see that you became enabled again will be playing the big Karatālas and jumping with ecstasy as you are always. Jaya Vaiṣṇava Ṭhākura, Jai Śrīla Prabhupāda.
Your Insignificant Spiritual Son
