Dear Guru Mahārāja,
Please accept my respectful obeisances.
All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda.
All glories to you on this auspicious day of your Vyāsa-pūjā.
mūkaṁ karoti vācālaṁ paṅguṁ laṅghayate girim
yat-kṛpā tam ahaṁ vande śrī-guruṁ dīna-tāriṇam
paramānanda-mādhavam śrī-caitanya-īśvaram
“I offer my respectful obeisances unto you, my spiritual master, the deliverer of the fallen souls. His mercy turns the dumb into eloquent speakers and enables the lame to cross mountains.”
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
Dhyana Moolam Guru Mūrti
Pūjā Moolam Gurur Padam,
Mantra Moolam Gurur Vakyam,
Moksha Moolam Guru Kripa
Guru Gītā - Skanda Purāṇa Dialogue between Shiva and Uma (Shakti)
Translation: The Guru’s form is the best to meditate upon; the Guru’s feet are the best for worship; the Guru’s word is the mantra; the Guru’s Grace is the root of liberation.
Please accept my respectful and humble obeisances
