Dearest Guru Mahārāja,
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
nama oṁ viṣṇu-pādāya kṛṣṇa-preṣṭhāya bhū-tale
śrīmate bhaktivedānta-svāminn iti nāmine
namas te sārasvate deve gaura-vāṇī-pracāriṇe
nirviśeṣa-śūnyavādi-pāścātya-deśa-tāriṇe
Please accept my humble obeisances at your divine lotus feet. All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda!
I feel extremely unqualified, but glad to write an offering to my dearest Spiritual father. Your appearance day is a festival of Joy and a day that reminds us our fortune that has been showered by the Divine Couple Śrī Śrī Rādhā Mādhava by your presence in our lives!!
Guru Mahārāja, I am eternally grateful and indebted to you, for showering your causeless mercy and accepting me as your disciple. By Lord Nityānanda's mercy my longing desire of having a spiritual master and guide was fulfilled. Last year, on 19th June 2022, I received initiation from you.
You have been a source of hope, inspiration, strength at all times. Your love and dedication for Śrīla Prabhupāda, Lord Caitanya and this movement has been ever charging my spirits in devotional service. Your unflinching faith in the holy name, your courage, patience, tolerance and perseverance through all the adversities is ever encouraging to better myself in my spiritual life. You are the mercy and blessing personification in my life. You are the source of shelter, I have been looking for. You are the one connecting me to Kṛṣṇa. You are the answer to my prayers.
I beg your pardon for all the offences I have committed knowingly or unknowingly. I seek your blessings to be able to sincerely serve and assist you, in your service to Śrīla Prabhupāda. Also, that I am able to follow my initiation vows under all circumstances and always remain at the shelter of your lotus feet.
Thank you for everything Guru Mahārāja.
Your spiritual daughter and servant,
Śītalāṅgī Kṛṣṇapriyā Devī Dāsī
