Wishing you a very Happy 73rd Vyāsa-pūjā Śrīla Ācārypāda!!!
Gurudev, I, Aprameya Govinda dāsa and Vrija Līlā devī dāsī, offer our most obeisances unto your Divine Lotus Feet.
brahmāṇḍa bhramite kona bhāgyavān jīva
guru-kṛṣṇa-prasāde pāya bhakti-latā-bīja
Only by your mercy, we can get the seed of Kṛṣṇa bhakti, because you are an ocean of mercy and the savior of the most fallen souls.
Gurudeva, we are greatly indebted to you for giving us this seed of Kṛṣṇa bhakti to very much fallen souls like us and saving us from this material contamination. It brings us great happiness and enthusiasm when we see you preaching to fallen souls like us and helping us to take us back home Back to Godhead thus giving us the mercy of Kṛṣṇa and all the acharyas in the paramparā. By your causeless mercy, you are teaching us how to take to this sublime process of Kṛṣṇa consciousness and how to come out of this cycle of birth and death and to attain a permanent life where we can eternally serve the Lord, but we out of our ignorance are still so much attached and contaminated. Its only and only by your mercy can we be liberated from this condition.
Gurudev, even with all the physical challenges and bodily difficulties that you are having because of taking our karma, you are preaching Lord Gaurāṅga’s message to the whole world more and more., no obstacle is an obstacle for you, you just seem to conquer every physical adversary that comes your way, by which you are demonstrating us that we are not this body, but are soul. We pray to you Gurudeva that one day we also realize this simple but deep realization.
We offer our humble obeisances at your lotus feet and thank you for accepting us as your spiritual children.
Please forgive us Gurudeva for the innumerable Vaiṣṇava-aprādhās we are committing knowingly and unknowingly.
We beg and pray Lord Narasiṁhadeva to protect you from all dangers and that he gives you good health by which many souls suffering in this saṁsāra get your mercy and take to this wonderful process of Kṛṣṇa consciousness, and serve Guru and Gaurāṅga.
Yours
