“I offer my respectful obeisance unto my spiritual master, the deliverer of the fallen souls. His mercy turns the dumb into eloquent speakers and enables the lame to cross mountains.”
Please accept my respectful humble obeisance unto your lotus feet.
Firstly, I would like to wish you a very happy Vyāsa-pūjā, Guru Mahārāja. We pray to Lord Kṛṣṇa for your long life and good health. As your disciple, it is a very very auspicious day for all of us to celebrate your Vyāsa-pūjā. I have never been more impressed with anyone than I am with you. The strength, courage, and fortitude you show every day is an inspiration to me and to everyone who knows about you. Due to your compassion on conditioned souls like me and your continuous efforts and struggles, we are enjoying best possible in spirituality.
Last year was the most joyful year for me as I got the opportunity to have direct interaction with you. Your trip to Dāmodara Deśa boosted my spiritual energy by taking your shelter. With your blessings and guidance, we are taking opportunities to serve you and Prabhupāda directly or indirectly in various activities.
Who can be more merciful than you. You are empowering so many gṛhastha across the globe to engage in devotional service. Your dedication to Śrīla Prabhupāda is extraordinary. My merciful spiritual Master you are the desire tree by whose darśana all sins are removed. Your glance itself gives mercy to people.
Thanks for giving us everything and please empower us so that we can help in Śrīla Prabhupāda and your mission.
I realize that everything which has lately happened and is happening in my life is a reflection of your mercy and blessings. I humbly request for your continued mercy and blessings for me and as well as for all the devotees of Gaurāṅga Deśa for our sustained progress in Kṛṣṇa consciousness and also to give us the taste for chanting and serving.
Last November, I also had a chance to come to Māyāpur along with my family, my parents and father-in-law. It was our long cherished desire to get our parents to Māyāpur. We were actually trying to bring them from last 3 years. But due corona, we could not. Finally, with your mercy, I was able to get them to Māyāpur and also took them to few temples. But since you had gone for Purī Parikramā and we could not meet you.
I always seek and look forward for your support, guidance, and protection from all aparādhās and dangers, so that I may make quick progress to be worthy and fully qualified to serve Rādhā and Kṛṣṇa. I am aware that without your mercy and blessings, I can never make any progress in my spiritual endeavors
Our heartfelt and deepest prayers to Śrī Rādhā Mādhava, Śrī Narasiṁhadeva and Nitāi Gaurāṅga to keep you in good health.
Your loving son,
Śrīraṅga Kṛṣṇa Dāsa
Gaurāṅga Deśa Yātrā
