Jaya Guru Mahārāja
Please accept my humble obeisances unto your lotus feet.
We are happy and blessed as we are given the opportunity to pay homage to you Guru Mahārāja on your auspicious appearance day. By your mercy Gurudeva last year we took aspiration and now we are preparing for shelter under you. It’s a big process for us, due to our past karmas we unable to perform our regular sādhanas. We need your mercy to overcome all the obstacles. According to Shastra’s it’s very difficult to get a human body. After taking the human birth, connecting with a bonafide disciplic succession is more difficult. Even after connecting to the paramparā gaining knowledge and serving the supreme Lord and his disciples is a very rare opportunity. By the mercy and prayers of the pure devotees anyhow we are connected with this, and now we do not want to separated from this association anymore. It’s a very rare chance to get a soul to practice the devotional service and go back to the godhead. Please always protect us from the māyā and our past karmas to practice the sadhana without fail. In this Kali-yuga it’s very difficult to follow the devotional path, please blessed us with good health, material opulence and peaceful mind to perform devotional duties. We are the conditioned souls and we are attached to many worldly things, please strengthen our mind and give intelligence to discriminate the wants and needs to progress in the devotional path. Due to my false ego I am not having enough confidence to execute my Sīkṣā guru’s desires, please assist me and bless me to perform my devotional responsibilities. Knowingly and unknowingly, we did many sins and mistakes please protect us from those reactions to perform our devotional activities. We, parents are the role models of our kids, please bless us to perform our duties sincerely and perfectly which will help us to mould the kids as better devotees and pure disciples of Kṛṣṇa.
We pray to Rādhā Kṛṣṇa, Gaura Nitāi and Narasiṁhadeva for your good health to guide all of us.
Your insignificant servants,
Praveen and Shalima (aspiring disciple)
Kṛṣṇa-kathā deśa
