nama oṁ viṣṇu-pādāya kṛṣṇa-preṣṭhāya bhū-tale
śrīmate jayapatāka svāmin iti nāmine

Hare Kṛṣṇa Gurudeva,
Please accept my respectful obeisances at the dust of your divine lotus feet.
All glories to Jagad-Guru, Śrīla Prabhupāda and all glories to your loving divine grace.
Very happy vyāsa-pūjā dear Guru Mahārāja.
I’m very unqualified and insignificant to glorify you but I’m doing this for my own purification.
We all are so indebted to you for the great sacrifice you are undertaking for saving insignificant fallen souls like me.
None of the material problems affect your service to Śrīla Prabhupāda.
You are such an inspiration Gurudeva.
But I’m very much affected by the material miseries, I’m so fallen and conditioned.
You are my only hope Śrīla Gurudeva.
Kindly save me from this cage.
gańgāra paraśa hoile paścate pāvan
darśane pavitra koro-ei tomāra guṇ
“After bathing in the waters of the sacred Ganges many times, one becomes purified, but just by the sight of you, the fallen souls are purified. This is your great power.”
I just aspire for your mercy life after life Gurudeva.
Please bless me so that I always remain at your divine lotus feet and serve you in spreading this Kṛṣṇa conscious movement more and more and engage myself in the service of Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī and keep myself aloof from the vicious snake of materialistic sense.
