Hare Kṛṣṇa Guru Mahārāja,
Please accept my most respectful obeisance unto your lotus feet.
All Glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda,
All Glories to your Auspicious appearance day.
Dear Guru Mahārāja please accept my most respectful obeisance unto your lotus feet. On this auspicious appearance day of yours I am making an humble attempt to offer this homage unto your lotus feet.
yadi prabhupāda na haita tabe ki haita jīvana bahita kise?
nitāi-gaurera apara karuṇa ke dita sakala deśe
If Śrīla Prabhupāda had not come, what would have happened? How could we have passed our lives? Who else would have distributed the unlimited mercy of Lord Nityānanda and Lord Gaurāṅga all over the world?
We are eternally indebted to Śrīla Prabhupāda, who is the main cause for awakening the dormant love for the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Lord Kṛṣṇa in the hearts of all the conditioned souls.
How Prabhupāda has showered his causeless mercy by giving the real cintāmaṇi of harināma saṅkīrtana and he continues to shower mercy through his exalted disciples like you Guru Mahārāja. Śrīla Prabhupāda in his ripe old age crossed over the sea and travelled around the globe to spread the glories of the holy name so the we don’t travel in cycle of birth and death.
Guru Mahārāja how you are extend yourself over and above your capacity to fulfil the orders and to render services in order to please Śrīla Prabhupāda which has been an inspiration for me to follow your footsteps in rendering service to guru and Kṛṣṇa to the best of my capacity.
Guru Mahārāja the quotes, short reels, and monthly messages that you send helps me boost up my sādhana and waters the roots of my bhakti and strengthens them. Your recent emphasis on importance of reading Śrīla Prabhupāda’s Books has helped me a lot due to which I am now able to read the books regularly. Personally for me you have been a personification of mercy Guru Mahārāja. You have always showered your causeless mercy and reciprocated to me with so much of love even though I am unqualified for it which makes me eternally indebted to you Gurudeva.
yogyatā-vicāre, kichu nāhi pāi,
tomāra karuṇā sāra
karuṇā na hoile, kāṇdīyā kaṇdīyā
nā rākhibo āra
I still remember Guru Mahārāja how you showered your mercy upon me by giving me shelter at your lotus feet. It was not easy for me to take shelter of at your lotus feet due to unfavourable circumstances and environment but one day I told my śīkṣā-guru and he asked me to pray unto your lotus feet and I started doing so and your were so merciful that in no time you showered your mercy upon me on by giving me shelter at your lotus feet on June 2022 at Palace grounds, Bangalore. You are truly an ocean of mercy Guru Mahārāja. It is all because of your mercy that conditioned souls like me is able to survive in Kṛṣṇa consciousness and render some menial service for the pleasure of Guru and Gaurāṅga.
Guru Mahārāja being your insignificant servant for your pleasure I am rendering some small and menial services under the guidance of my śīkṣā-guru. I am currently compiling the Bhakti-vṛkṣa attendance (the reports of which are assessed by our temple president), Chanting extra rounds and doing extra tulasī-pradakṣiṇa for your good health Guru Mahārāja. I am making humble efforts to preach Guru Mahārāja somehow or the other I am facing challenges begging at your lotus feet to please bestow upon me your blessings so that I can also render service to Śrīla Prabhupāda by preaching the glories of the Lord.
My special gratitude to you Guru Mahārāja for all the blessings that you have been continuously showering upon me.
Dear Guru Mahārāja, on this auspicious appearance of yours I make humble prayers at the lotus feet of Śrī Śrī Rādhā Mādhava and Narasiṁhadeva to protect you and give you good health in order to serve Śrīla Prabhupāda eternally.
Yours insignificant servant
Rakshita (shelter disciple)
