Hare Kṛṣṇa Dear Guru Mahārāja,
Please accept my respectful obeisances at your divine lotus feet.
All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda! All glories unto your Divine Grace! All glories to your auspicious appearance day
On this very auspicious occasion of your Vyāsa-pūjā, I pray to Śrī Śrī Rādhā Mādhava and Śrī Narasiṁhadeva for your protection, good health, and well-being.
Dear Gurudeva, I am always awestruck and in wonder with your inspiring and tireless efforts in the service of guru and Kṛṣṇa despite the many obstacles and challenges coming your way. You have always been an example for others to follow, but a lost soul like me still struggles to even try to move forward one step at a time.
I am grateful to you for keeping me engaged in devotional Service for which I am indebted to you. By your mercy, I am still able to perform daily 16 rounds of japa and attend weekly Bhagavad-gītā class, but so far, I haven’t done anything significant in the last many years of my spiritual life. Therefore, like a lost child I plead at your lotus feet to forgive my offences and remove all the hurdles.
On this most auspicious day of your appearance, I wish to recommit myself and offer my deepest love, utmost gratitude and respectful obeisances unto Your Divine lotus feet. All glories to Your Divine Grace!!
Your insignificant servant,
Deepak Joshi (aspiring)
