Dear Guru Mahārāja,
Please accept my prostrated obeisance’s unto the dust of your divine lotus feet. All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda! All glories to you Gurudeva! All glories to yours 73rd Vyāsa-pūjā ceremony.
Gurudeva, I was in the dark ocean of māyā and miseries. You came as Kṛṣṇa a himself in my life as my spiritual master and mostly as my father when I needed you most. In this material world where nobody cares for others you have given me shelter at your lotus feet. On this auspicious occasion of yours Vyāsa-pūjā ceremony it’s my good fortune to write something about your glorification although I am not qualified enough to describe any drops of yours glory from the ocean like glories of yours because of your mercy.
Gurudeva, your only target is to deliver the fallen soul from the suffering of the material world. But I am such a fallen child of yours that didn’t understand anything of any yours qualities. You provided me initiation but as a disciple I always disobey and misuse your causeless mercy. I am so fallen and engaged myself in sense gratification instead of devotion, this is the main reason for your physical issue. I am so unsteady and cheater and perform knowingly and unknowingly Vaiṣṇava-aparādha. Every second of your life is a lesson to us. Instead of many physical limitations every day you give us the Caitanya līlā class and then virtual home visit. All these activities are so encouraging and inspiring that if I have enough intelligence to understand any of your qualities then there would be no question of distraction any time from devotional life. Please bless me so that I can learn something from you.
Gurudeva, your only goal is to satisfy Śrīla Prabhupāda. Please bless me so that I can gain at least a little bit of this particular quality of yours to satisfy you. Gurudeva, please bless me so that I can remain fixated on yours and Kṛṣṇa’s service and help you at least a little in accomplishing Śrīla Prabhupāda's mission. By your causeless mercy I get so many things in my life that I didn’t actually deserve. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart for helping me and guiding me from inside and outside.
Please forgive my offences that I did knowingly and unknowingly to your lotus feet and please bless me to become yours sincere disciple.
Happy 73rd Appearance day Dear Guru mahārāja!!!
Yours insignificant son,
Narahari Priya Dāsa (Dīkṣā Disciple)
