My Dear Guru Mahārāja,
Please accept my respectful obeisances unto the dust of your lotus feet.
All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda,
All glories unto your Divine Grace,
On this auspicious occasion of your Vyāsa-pūjā I offer my sincere and heartfelt prayers to their Lordships Śrī Śrī Rādhā Mādhava, Śrī Śrī Narasiṁhadeva, Śrī Pañca-tattva and Śrīla Prabhupāda so that you may keep good health and be able to fulfil all your desires in the service of Śrīla Prabhupāda.
Guru Mahārāja I have always been awe struck seeing your transcendental activities and as time moves your activities become even more wonderful. The feats you achieve that clearly shows that you are an eternal associate of Lord Caitanya which was even confirmed by Śrīla Prabhupāda. Your divine grace’s tireless and unending efforts to reach out to every soul on this planet and sow the seed of Kṛṣṇa consciousness in their hearts cannot be paralleled.
“yāre dekha, tāre kaha ‘kṛṣṇa’-upadeśa āmāra ājñāya guru hañā tāra’ ei deśa” you personify these words of Mahāprabhu by your tireless and determined efforts, in spite of the many challenging situations that you come across. All this is possible by your constant meditation on the lord. We pray that more souls get the opportunity to get your blessings and at least moments of association with you which can make their life perfect.
Guru Mahārāja you are constantly extending yourself in many ways to not just give a moment’s association but to shower your love and care to all those whom you have come across and those who will come across you. You don’t miss an opportunity whether it’s a hospital, an Airport or your Zoom darśana. You make devotees feel that personal connection with you and fill their life with all auspiciousness.
Guru Mahārāja by your causeless mercy I am very fortunate that you allowed me to serve the desire that is so close to your heart. JPS Care is beyond my ability, and I took it up just in my enthusiasm to serve you. I knew I was unqualified but somehow by your grace and mercy I am taking baby steps and of course I feel incapable at times but just thinking of you and your instructions helps to overcome that obstacle and helps to move forward. I am trying my best and I feel very grateful to you for guiding me patiently and being so tolerant to my inabilities. You have given me some wonderful instructions which I am trying to follow but I do fall like a small child but just remembering your words brings me back on track.
I am a mere fool and don’t know how to really serve you but I am trying to do my best and I beg for your causeless mercy and blessings so I can remain in your service and please you and not get distracted by māyā. Please also forgive any offenses or foolish behavior on my part so that they do not become a stumbling block on the path of progress.
Your insignificant spiritual daughter,
