Hare Kṛṣṇa Dear Guru Mahārāja,
Please accept my respectful obeisances,
All glories to Śrī Guru and Gaurāṅga,
All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda,
I would like to pray sincerely for your mercy and blessings to become successful in my preaching endeavors. Let me become a medium and instrument in your mission. Let me always remain humble and meek and be protected from the influence of Māyā. Please enlighten me by removing the dark cloud of ignorance and doubts so that I may remain fixed in my Kṛṣṇa consciousness.
I would also like to offer my insignificant prayers for your good health and for your success in pleasing Śrīla Prabhupāda.
I would like to submit my small poem below
“The Transcendental Captain “
From Milwaukee to Māyāpur
Fluttering the victory flag
Fulfilling the desires of thine guru
Fearlessly sailing the ISKCON ship
Finding and saving the drowning souls
Fatherly compassion to thine disciples
Finishing their karmic cycle
Ferrying them back to Goloka
Fighting all odds of health
Freely giving away “Nitāi kripa”
Flooding every town and village with “Kṛṣṇa Prema”
From Milwaukee to Māyāpur
Your insignificant servant
Ranachor Govinda Dāsa
