Hare Kṛṣṇa Guru Mahārāja
Daṇḍavat Praṇām!
Please accept my humble respectful obeisances at your lotus feet.
All glories to you Guru Mahārāja!!! All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda!!!
I am not qualified to write this homage. It is only by your mercy I am writing one on this glorious and most blessed “Vyāsa-pūjā”. Wishing you a very happy Kṛṣṇa conscious Appearance Day Śrīla Gurudeva.
For me, the most joyful and cherishable moment of my life came when me and my wife (Neha) along with our Kids (Son- Parv and Daughter- Ira) met you physically when we were in India last year for our Dhāma Yātrā in Māyāpur on 27th December 2022 (Which was my son Parv’s birthday as well). At this first meeting, the first time we saw you physically, your face shined and had an amazing fresh glow and I could feel an amazing aura around you. The enthusiasm and the energy that you possessed in giving the class was incomparable. I felt as if all our long travel and tiredness flew away by having your in person darśana. I felt the hope that your mercy can only save us from this material world and help us progress in our Kṛṣṇa conscious journey.
I also remember another mystical instance when on the last day of the year that is on 31st Dec 2022, after your class, you came back and told all the devotees to come for the New Year Kīrtana Mela on that night in Māyāpur. I felt excited to grab this opportunity to see you in person at the kīrtana mela and me and my wife along with other devotees went there and took your darśana and heard your message and kīrtana. We all devotees thought that while you return and enter your car, we can get the opportunity to see you and get to touch the dust of your lotus feet. While there was a huge crowd along with your close sevak’s, my wife by the mercy of your sevak, could get to touch the sand dust where you stood while entering the car and immediately, she took that dust and rubbed it on her and mine forehead. That was a mystic moment and we felt as if you had mystically known our desire and fulfilled it just as a father fulfills the desire of his kids. It was the most precious gift we could ever get and that was an amazing start of the new year. This lifetime moment will always be cherishable by us. I sincerely beg your mercy that we always remain on this path of devotional service to please You and Gaurāṅga.
My wife (Neha) also request your blessings for us to run a smooth and steady Kṛṣṇa conscious married life to embed and nurture Kṛṣṇa consciousness in our children (Parv and Ira), help and support each other to serve you by learning how to preach from our Bhakti-vṛkṣa Servant Leaders: Anandamaya Gopīnātha Dāsa Prabhujī and Śrīguru Bhakti Devī Dāsī Mātājī. We wish to take up the upcoming Bhakti-śāstri course as per your instruction from one of your lectures to take up these courses. Please bestow your mercy upon us so that we can successfully complete this course and be fixed in your service.
My sincere prayers to Śrī Śrī Rādhā Gopīnātha and Lord Narasiṁhadeva for your good health, well-being and long life so that you can guide more fallen souls like me in fulfilling the glorious mission of Śrīla Prabhupāda.
Lastly please forgive me Guru Mahārāja for any offense that I have done at your lotus feet knowingly or unknowingly. Please shower your blessings upon me and my family so that we receive your causeless divine mercy to be always engaged in your service eternally.
Your most fallen servant and loving son,
