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
oṁ ajñāna-timirāndhasya jñānāñjana-śalākayā
cakṣur unmīlitaṁ yena tasmai śrī-gurave namaḥ
I am a fallen soul which is unable to do glorification of such a wonderful ācārya like you who has dedicated his whole life for devotional services as per instructions given by Prabhupāda. Yet I am trying this for my purification. Please forgive me for my mistakes because this is first time when I am writing for Your Divine Grace.
Guru Mahārāja, I am Arti, who is under Prabhupāda-āśraya. By mercy and blessings of guru and Gaurāṅga, I met Your disciples His Grace Rādhāpati Gopīnātha Prabhujī and Her Grace Bhavānandinī Mātājī, who are my counsellor and mentor.
I don’t know how to describe my gratitude to You because I used to understand devotional life, importance of services by Your lectures and quotes shared by Mātājī and Prabhujī.
I was very inspired by Your Divine Grace after the first darśana in Māyāpur last year. I was surprised and very much inspired by Your love for guru and Kṛṣṇa.
This is first time when I am expressing my feelings and respect to You Guru Mahārāja. Nothing can stop You in fulfilling Your goal. That teaches me a lot that if we keep praying, following instructions of guru, keep doing devotional services, we can increase our love towards Kṛṣṇa and Rādhārāṇī. And then only we can return to our real home, back to Godhead.
Your presence is like sunlight which is removing all the darkness of confusion about material world, and which is helping us in polishing our devotional life.
Your lectures and kīrtana are like rainbow in the sky which is covering whole sky of my soul and spreading colors of love towards God and devotional services.
Thank you so much Guru Mahārāja for inspiring and guiding me always.
I pray to Lord Narasiṁhadeva for your health so that You can initiate more and more fallen soul like me so that more souls can be free from this māyā-nagarī (material world).
Hare Kṛṣṇa, daṇḍavat praṇāma, Guru Mahārāja!
