Hare Kṛṣṇa Dear Guru Mahārāja,
Please accept my respectful obeisances unto your divine lotus feet,
All glories to Śrī Guru and Śrī Gaurāṅga,
All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda,
nama oṁ viṣṇu-pādāya kṛṣṇa-preṣṭhāya bhū-tale
śrīmate jayapatāka svāmin iti nāmine
nama ācaryapādāya nitāi-kṛpā-pradāyine
gaura-kathā-dhāma-dāya nagara-grāma-tāriṇe
I first of all pray to the divine lotus feet of guru-paramparā and Their Lordships to bless me to write an offering to please your holiness and glorify your lotus feet.
Oh! Gurudeva I heard in your 70th Vyāsa-pūjā that the meaning of Vyāsa-pūjā means disciples come together to remember their instructions of their spiritual master. So, I want to remember those instructions which you gave on the day of initiation apart from the countless instructions which you give in your lectures. Chanting minimum 16 rounds of Hare Kṛṣṇa mahā-mantra, follow four regulative principles and try to assist your holiness in your service to Śrīla Prabhupāda.
I seek blessings from your holiness that may I get some strength to follow these instructions which emanate from your lotus mouth which are a gateway to please the Supreme Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa. Please bless me that I can serve the holy names of lord without offences (śuddha nāma).
You always remind us in your lectures the rarity of human form of life, mercy of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu, importance of preaching this mission of Lord Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu. I pray on this auspicious occasion of your appearance day to get strength to realize these truths and apply in my life.
You always preach the glories of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu all over the world following in the footsteps of Śrīla Prabhupāda. May I also get some drop of determination to preach the glories of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu even though I am not able to do that.
Forgetting your divine lotus feet I have been repeatedly suffering in this material world and came to this conclusion that there is no other shelter in this material world than shelter at your divine instructions. May I never forget your lotus feet and always remember your lotus feet.
Śrīla Prabhupāda reminded us that you are eternal associate of Lord Caitanya and Devakīnandana Dāsa Ṭhākura says that
mahaprabhura gana-saba patita-pāvana
tai lobhe mui papi lainu sarana
Hearing of their glory, I have come with great eagerness to surrender to Mahāprabhu’s devotees, who are all patita-pāvana for sinners like me.
Please deliver this poor ignorant fool then your glories will be spread all over the three worlds.
May I always remember your divine instruction which is like a boat to cross over this material existence.
Yours Servant,
Yogeśvara Nandasuta Dāsa (dīkṣā),
Kanpur, India.
