All Glories to His Holiness Jayapatākā Swami Guru Mahārāja.
Dear Gurudeva,
Please accept my respectful obeisances unto your divine lotus feet. All glories to Śrīla Gurudeva and all glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda. All glories to Gaurāṅga.
Guru Mahārāja, Although I have no qualification to glorify you I feel extremely fortunate for this opportunity to glorify you for my purification. It has been only one year since I got association of Kṛṣṇa conscious devotees. But the whole year remained very enlightening for me and I got to know about Kṛṣṇa consciousness and how to progress in Kṛṣṇa consciousness. Gurudeva, I am inspired by the way you preach despite of your health conditions. Though I haven’t seen Śrīla Prabhupāda in person, my love towards him increases, when I remember you. You are a live example for determination towards following the spiritual master’s instructions.
On this auspicious occasion of your Vyāsa-pūjā, I pray to lotus feet of Supreme Lord to provide you stable health and increase your duration in this material world so that you can deliver more fallen souls like me and show the spiritual path.
Gurudeva, I also request you to please bless me with your mercy and some determination so that I can serve and please you.
Your Dāsānudāsa,
Shivanand Singh
Kṛṣṇa-kathā Deśa
