Though I am not qualified to talk about you Guru Mahārāja, I as a fallen disciple would like to share my realizations by offering a tons of obeisances to yours lotus feet.
I am very much grateful to you for your mercy on me as an aspiring disciple, though I am not qualified. I was so fortunate to have your darśana in April, when you arrived for opening new temple (New Rājāpur Jagannātha Dhāma) and got an opportunity to serve you. By your mercy I was able to participate in Pānihāṭi festival as well. Thank you so much for your mercy on the same. Seeing your great compassion towards everyone and other outstanding qualities, which really amazed me. Always maintaining a mood of unity, as a loving father, godbrother, member of ISKCON society, doing a tremendous effort to work in co-operation spite of the unlimited difficulties, and that inspired me a lot.
Kindly bestow your blessings and mercy in order for me to grow in my spiritual life. I am really unfortunate as I am not able to follow four regulative principles as I surrendered to māyā and challenged by my family sometimes. This is the reason, I am still lying on aspiring stage. By your causeless mercy, I am able to follow some of the Ekādaśīs now. But I am still struggling to develop faith and love for Kṛṣṇa and you, as I am attached to family and job.
Dear Guru Mahārāja, my whole family beg your mercy and blessings in order to cut the knot of māyā and grow in our spiritual life, so that I can serve you and Gaurāṅga. I am really happy and inspired by the way you associate with the disciples worldwide via different channels and preaching Kṛṣṇa conscious though your health condition is not at all supportive.
Since I also don’t chant for my family sometimes, it is getting worse to grow in spiritual life and family challenges are getting increased. Because of these material reasons, I am not reading Śrīla Prabhupad’s books (except Śrīmad Bhagavad-gītā, Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam). So, I beg your mercy once again, so that I develop a taste of serving you and Gaurāṅga.
On this auspicious occasion of Your Vyāsa-pūjā, I pray to lotus feet of Supreme Lord to provide stable health and increase your duration in this material world so that you can deliver more conditioned souls like us and show the spiritual path.
Hare Kṛṣṇa!
Your aspiring disciples,
Manjunatha, Santala (wife), Prema (mother), Ashray (son)
