Respected Gurumaharaj,
Please accept our humble obeisances!
All glories to your divine grace!
All glories to Srila Prabhupada!
Today is the Vyas Puja of one of the greatest heroes the world has ever seen and definitely one of the biggest heroes in my life. Guru Maharaj your life is selfless service to the Vaishnavas and unparalleled compassion for the common people. As someone rightly said for you Guru Maharaj - the word "Impossible" means "I am possible". Guru Maharaj, your life is an example to the entire world that, if one is possessed by a burning desire to serve Guru and Gauranga, then anything is possible.
On the auspicious day of your Vyas Puja, I pray to the Lord Nrisinghadev for your good health and long life. May Lord Radha Madhav always protect you.
We the disciples of UAE were very fortunate to have your association for almost 10 days in the last 3 weeks but somehow I could not take advantage of your presence to improve my commitment to your mission. Please forgive me for this Guru Maharaj.

By the mercy of the spiritual master, one receives the benediction of Krsna. Without the grace of the spiritual master, one cannot make any advancement. We repeat these lines everyday morning but somehow this does not register in my memory.
Guru Maharaj, I have read in one of your lectures that – once Srila Prabhupada said - I don’t think I will be successful in my spiritual life because I have published so many books. Nor because I chant my rounds every day, nor because I have opened so many temples. All these is simply to please my spiritual master and by his mercy, I will be able to attain perfection.
As disciples and followers of Guru Maharaja, it is our duty to follow in your footsteps and understand your mood so that we can help you in your mission of preaching Krsna consciousness to everyone. Guru Maharaja you have unlimited divine qualities, and I wish that I can imbibe some fraction of the qualities you possess especially the dedication to Srila Prabhupada and his instructions. I offer my most humble and respectful obeisances to your lotus feet millions and millions of times and beg you to bestow a drop of your dedication, determination, devotion, and compassion on this fallen yet hopeful soul.
I am very pleased and thankful to you Guru Maharaj for accepting my son Namaras Nimai Das as your disciple.
Your insignificant disciples
