Dear Guru Maharaj,

nama oṁ viṣṇu-pādāya kṛṣṇa-preṣṭhāya bhū-tale
śrīmate bhaktivedānta-svāmin iti nāmine
namas te sārasvate deve gaura-vāṇī-pracāriṇe

Although I know that my spiritual master is a servitor of Śrī Caitanya, I know Him also as a plenary manifestation of the Lord. ( CC. Adi 144 )
Please accept my humble obeisances at the dust of your divine lotus feet. All glories to Sri Guru and Gauranga!. All glories to Srila Prabhupada! . All glories to you in this most auspicious day of your Vyasa Puja!
Dear Guru Maharaj, on this auspicious day of your Vyasa Puja, I fervently pray to you for mercy, guidance, protection, and empowerment so that I may be able to serve you.
Gurumaharaj once again your divine vyasa puja allows me the opportunity to glorify you in a very limited way due to my disqualification, although your fame is unlimited in the three worlds.
On this auspicious day of your divine appearance I have another opportunity to reflect upon the significant impact you have had on my life and the life of others, giving us inspiration, enthusiasm and knowledge. It is too an opportunity to reflect upon your dedication to Srila Prabhupada’s service and how you empower others to take the same dedication. You are an example of firm determination to serve Guru and Lord Krishna. You are Srila prabhupada’s victory flag!
You are a true representative of Lord Gauranga and Lord Nityananda . Since 1968 you are working tirelessly round the clock to preach Krishna consciousness all around the world and you do it with perfect joy and devotion.
I’m so thankful and so fortunate that I meet your divine grace when I was young. I’m realizing know that I misuse that good fortune all these years. I will try to do better dear Guru maharaj.
Thank you for being present every day in my life. Thank you for not giving up on me. Please let me bow to your lotus feet by your mercy I can achieve Lord Krishna’s mercy, without your mercy I’m lost.

Chanting the holy name, dancing in ecstasy, singing, and playing musical instruments, the spiritual master is always gladdened by the sankirtana movement of Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu. Because he is relishing the mellows of pure devotion within his mind, sometimes his hair stands on end, he feels quivering in his body, and tears flow from his eyes like waves. I offer my respectful obeisances unto the lotus feet of such a spiritual master.
You insignificant servant,
