My most worshipable Guru Mahārāja,
Please accept my most respectful obeisances at your divine loving lotus feet.
All Glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda!
On the occasion of your holy appearance day, I am seeking your blessings.
Guru Mahārāja, you are a loving son of His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Śrīla Prabhupāda and your divine līlās are very exemplary and inspiring for the whole world. You are a practical example of the 3rd verse of Śrī Śikṣāṣṭakam. Your compassion and true love are the actual assets or gift for a conditioned soul like me. Your causeless mercy is the only hope to get out of this conditioned stage.
Today, I am trying to meditate upon some attractive qualities of you, the significance of devotee care and to feel non-envious to one and all. While thinking upon devotee care at first I remember how you care for all your disciples and followers in very possible ways. For example: despite all your health issues, you try to be present for Caitanya classes and meeting with devotees. This is how you value each and every conditioned soul. I was thinking how I must look forward to having your association with respect and gratitude. Secondly, the quality of non-enviousness is very natural for you. This is the most essential quality of a person bhāgavata. I must aspire to follow in your footsteps.
Guru Mahārāja, you are very much loving and caring for all of us and today I pray to you that if you so desire please bestow your grace to this conditioned soul. So, someday I can aspire to follow in your foot-steps.
Thank you so much Guru Mahārāja for giving me the opportunity to remember your divine qualities for my own purification of heart.
Your aspiring servant.
Vanamālī Govinda dāsa.
