oṁ ajñāna-timirāndhasya jñānāñjana-śalākayā
cakṣur unmīlitaṁ yena tasmai śrī-gurave namaḥ
Please accept my humble respectful obeisances at Your Divine lotus feet Śrīla Guru Mahārāja! All Glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda!
All Glories to You Śrīla Guru Mahārāja on your auspicious Vyāsa-pūjā!
On this auspicious Vyāsa-pūjā of Yours, Śrīla Guru Mahārāja, so fortunate am I to be able to offer my homage to You.
Oh, Śrīla Guru Mahārāja, I am so insignificant and helpless that I can’t even close my ears and run away when my parents speak blasphemy about devotees and can’t even complete my rounds on time. But Śrīla Guru Mahārāja Your mercy is so great that even now slowly my parents are changing, becoming favorable to devotees. My mother says it’s me who has caused it, but Śrīla Guru Mahārāja if not You who else have so much power to make impossible, possible.
I am sinful, an offender, not a good writer, nor a good poet, not even a good artist or singer enough to be able to use my talents to offer nice artistic homage unto You. But whatever I have, Śrīla Guru Mahārāja is all Your mercy. My life had become a hell, there was no meaning left to my life, if not for Your mercy Śrīla Guru Mahārāja, now I must have been either in a mental asylum or in ghostly forms of life.
Śrīla Guru Mahārāja, what I am now is simply Your mercy, You have stringed back the broken pieces of my life and still stringing, but the best thing that You have given me is the “Touchstone of Bhakti”. Oh, Śrīla Guru Mahārāja there is no one for me, more merciful than You in the three worlds.
On Your auspicious Vyāsa-pūjā day, I beg pardon for the offences I have made at Your lotus feet, and beg for Your mercy to be able to serve You eternally
Your aspiring servant,
Radhe (Vanshika,
