Śrīla Guru Mahārāja,
Please accept my most respectful obeisances.
All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda.
On this Vyāsa-pūjā day, I pray to Lord Kṛṣṇa for your health and long life.
Guru Mahārāja, you are an ocean of mercy. I beg you to give me the shade of your lotus feet and purify me. I hold on to your lotus feet.
Without your blessings it is not possible for a fallen soul like me to feel bliss in chanting. Please bless me with just one drop of dedication and faith with which I can find strength to progress in Kṛṣṇa consciousness.
On this occasion, I seek your blessings so that I can serve your lotus feet in advancing your mission to fulfill Śrīla Prabhupāda’s instructions. Please keep me engaged in your service.
Your humble disciple,
Kṛṣṇa Gaurakiśora Dāsa
