My Dearest Guru Mahārāja,
All Glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda,
All Glories to Your Divine Grace!
I offer my respectful obeisances at your lotus feet on this auspicious occasion of your appearance day.
Superman is the name that comes to my mind every time I hear your glories. The spiritual strength of your teachings have been invaluable in shaping my spiritual life. Without your blessings, it would have been impossible for me to even think of taking this path of bhakti.
Because you showered your mercy on a useless and insignificant lowlife like me, I now have the chance to grab the greatest treasure of this human life - love for Kṛṣṇa.
My dear Gurudeva, your conviction in preaching the glories and teachings of Caitanya Mahāprabhu is the sole reason for me now being able to confidently tell the world - “Yes, Mahāprabhu is Kṛṣṇa Himself.
Your unwavering devotion to the Lord is always inspiring to me. You tirelessly spend all your time trying to spread the message of Kṛṣṇa, just so that a fallen soul like myself gets a chance to go back home.
I am eternally grateful for everything you have done for me. Without you, my life would be meaningless. I don’t know how I will ever repay you, my dear Master.
Once again, I offer my deepest gratitude on your auspicious appearance day. Please bless me to develop the qualities of humility and compassion, qualities that you have in abundance, so that I may diligently serve the servant of the servant of Your Holiness. I pray that I may be able to eternally serve at your lotus feet.
Your insignificant sheltered disciple,
