Dear Guru Mahārāja
Please accept my respectful obeisances at your lotus feet.
All glories to the blessed and auspicious day of your appearance, all glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda.
I would like to express my deep gratitude for your encouragement, compassion, and constant enthusiasm in guide all fallen souls in this material world, and so through your example enthuse us to develop strength and desire to help you in your mission.
You are always tirelessly preaching and distributing the holy names for the pleasure of Śrīla Prabhupāda and Śrī Kṛṣṇa Caitanya! How could any devotee not be touched by this spiritual force that emanates from you? You are an example to all of us Guru Mahārāja, and so the army of lord Caitanya's growing every day!
I pray for your mercy Guru Mahārāja.
Only by the mercy of the spiritual master does one receive Kṛṣṇa's blessing. Without the grace of the spiritual master, one cannot progress.” Therefore, without your help and mercy, we can never free ourselves from the cycle of repeated birth and death.
I am an insignificant disciple, and full of flaws, and I am constantly waiting for a drop of your causeless mercy to be bestowed on me. I will never give up on my faith, love, and on the hope of one day being a worthy disciple.
Although I have no qualifications, I have written this small Vyāsa-pūjā offering to you with a humble request and deep desire that my husband and I hold in our hearts.
Please Guru Mahārāja give us your blessings to succeed in bringing Kṛṣṇa consciousness to people who are blind, afflicted and suffering in this material world and also that we can continue to do our devotional service with humility and enthusiasm returning to live in the holy land of Śrī Vṛndāvana dhāma.
I thank you for the causeless mercy that I can serve you daily and with a heart full of gratitude, I offer my respectful obeisances at your lotus feet!
All glories to Śrī Śrī Guru and Śrī Gaurāṅga!
