All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda,
All glories to Śrīla Gurudeva,
Dearest Gurudeva,
Please accept my respectful obeisance’s at your lotus feet.
On the auspicious occasion of 73th Vyāsa-pūjā celebration of our beloved Guru Mahārāja, I wish to glorify You, even though an insignificant soul like me is not at all qualified to glorify You. Gurudeva, you are my spiritual father. I sincerely pray to Lord Narasiṁhadeva to give You good health so that You can fulfil the mission of your Guru Mahārāja, Śrīla Prabhupāda. Even though your health condition is bad, you are tirelessly travelling and preaching to deliver the fallen souls like me. You are not at all bothered about your health condition and you are always worried about the welfare of your disciples. You are an ācārya showing us through your life, how to preach and how to please guru and Kṛṣṇa.
Dear Guru Mahārāja, you are such a great soul rarely found in material world. You taught us one should be compassionate and humble so that preaching will be effective. And also taught us whatever the service you do, do in the name of Kṛṣṇa. You are the real guru and true representative of Kṛṣṇa.
I am so much lucky to be an initiated disciple of you, my dear Gurudeva. In the past I got opportunity to serve you in person. Gurudeva, I promise, I will do my level best in preaching and bring more and more souls to our movement. Please forgive me for all the offences which I have committed knowingly or unknowingly. Gurudeva, please bestow mercy on our family, our cell members and all our cakra members so that we all can engage in fulfilling your mission. Eagerly waiting for your visit to Mathurādeśa.
We are very fortunate to attend Guru Mahārāja’s Caitanya-caritāmṛta class daily evening and receive Guru Mahārāja’s darśana and blessings. Thanks a lot dear Gurudeva.
Your insignificant servants,
Śivanātha Giridhārī dāsa,
Premamayī Campakalathā devī dāsī,
Shilpa and Mādhava,
