Dearest Guru Mahārāja,

Please accept our respectful obeisances unto your lotus feet.

All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda.

All glories to you Dear Gurudeva on this most auspicious day of your appearance!

It is indeed a very special day in our lives too, ever since you mercifully accepted us under your loving shelter as your disciples, despite our total lack of any qualification to deserve this mercy.

Today, when all the senior Vaiṣṇavas and Vaiṣṇavīs present their offerings unto you, we find ourselves to be totally unqualified to glorify and worship the dust of your lotus feet. Our sincere desire is to selflessly serve you, just like you have been serving Śrīla Prabhupāda and his mission. Despite all the health hardships and excruciating pain, you have gone through over the past decade and more, your unflinching resolve and zeal to serve your spiritual master is unfathomable. You are undeniably a great inspiration for everyone.

Gurudeva, it is only due to your causeless mercy that fallen souls like us have got this opportunity to engage in the devotional service of Kṛṣṇa and His devotees. We are eternally grateful to you for having accepted us as your disciples and implore you to always keep us under your protection. With your mercy and the guidance of other senior disciples, we will put in all efforts to serve in your mission by continuing to remain inspired and inspire others in Kṛṣṇa consciousness.

We, Rasika Madhusūdhana dāsa, Manasi Rādhikā devī dāsī, Bhakta Arjun and Bhaktin Athira are trying to follow a harmonious, Kṛṣṇa conscious life with you as our saviour, leading us back home, back to Godhead. We pray to Śrī Śrī Rādhā Mādhava, Pañca-tattva, Narasiṁhadeva to bless you abundantly with good health and with continued zeal to carry out the orders of your spiritual master, His Divine Grace Śrīla Prabhupāda!

Your insignificant son, daughter and grand-children,

Rasika Madhusūdhana dāsa, Manasi Rādhikā devī dāsī, Bhakta Arjum and Bhakthin Athira, Avatarideśa
