Hare Kṛṣṇa My Dearest Guru Mahārāja,
Please accept my most respectful obeisances unto the dust of your lotus feet.
Wishing you a very happy 74th Vyāsa-pūjā day celebrations. All glories to you on this most victorious day to celebrate your auspicious appearance in this world.
I do not have any sort of qualification to glorify such an exalted ācārya and Vaiṣṇava like you, but it just your causeless mercy Gurudeva.
On this most auspicious day of Your Divine appearance, we beg the words to glorify the wonderful, exalted personality who is a Vaikuṇṭha man with unlimited divine qualities. As we are children of yours without any strength and intelligence, we beg you to accept our offering at your lotus feet.
Gurudeva, you are like a touch stone, that whoever comes in to contact with you is guaranteed of Nitāi – Gaura’s mercy.
Gurudeva, You are one of the most empowered spiritual sons of Śrīla Prabhupāda and your pure desire to serve him “even life after life” has empowered you to bring hundreds of thousands of suffering conditioned souls into this society founded by him.
Guru Mahārāja, when you visit Vijayawada last year in the month of August, the Vijayawada devotees we can’t express our joy and happiness we really enjoyed those three days. Guru Mahārāja by your causeless mercy we got your cooking service all those three days. August 24th, 2023, my mother Rati Rūpa Mitravindā Devī Dāsī (your spiritual daughter) taken second initiation from you, it’s all because of your causeless mercy. Gurudeva I can’t forget those sweet memories, it’s a life time memories for us. Guru Mahārāja on last day while you are leaving Vijayawada, I came near by car to take blessings from you, at that time you asked my name, I said my full name, you repeated next after me and you smiling, I can’t forget that lotus face smile Gurudeva.
Gurudeva, I don’t know what Kṛṣṇa’s plan is, but I have full faith on Kṛṣṇa and on you Guru Mahārāja. This year on Jan 4th I came to USA for my higher studies Gurudeva. Its my father wish I want to complete my masters here in USA. At starting days, I cried a lot, I don’t know anyone here, but on those difficult situations I prayed for you, you always there for your disciples, here I meet so many devotees in temple, there all are helping me, taking me to the temple, taking nice care of me these all are the answers you replied for my prayers Gurudeva. There is no doubt in this, whenever we are in trouble, you always ready to help us.
Guru Mahārāja, very recently I saw you in my dream. Once you said in Caitanya-līlā class, When guru comes in your dream don’t think its a ordinary dream, it is a very auspicious thing. Usually like every week, that day also I got your app service Guru Mahārāja. I am ready to start my service, somehow, I forgotten about my service and I slept. At night in my dream, you came Guru Mahārāja, in that dream you are looking so young, and you talking with me, do app service, do translation service I not understood anything, I am just looking at your lotus face. After when I woke up, I was thinking, why Gurudeva is saying like that, what mistake I did, suddenly I remember last night I forgotten to do my translation service, so Gurudeva is remembering me about my service. Guru Mahārāja you always there for us to guide us in right way.
Guru Mahārāja, this year Gaura Pūrṇimā I celebrated in ISKCON Dallas temple with some many wonderful devotees, After Gaura Nitāi abhiṣeka we went for nagara-saṅkīrtana here the program went very well. Guru Mahārāja we got a news that after Vyāsa-pūjā you are coming to America for a visit. Guru Mahārāja I am eagerly waiting for you arrive in USA. Guru Mahārāja I want your blessings so I can get some services here in temple. Gurudeva please protect me from māyā, so I can chant nicely, please bless this most fallen soul on this planet, without your mercy I am zero Gurudeva.
O my Gurudeva, thank you for ongoing narration of Caitanya-līlā so that we disciples will be absorbed in Lords’ pastimes, qualities, name, fame, etc. which makes us free from tāpa-traya (which miseries of world) and situates above three modes.
Guru Mahārāja by your mercy, last year I got your live darśana and visited many dhāmas. This year also I want to visit dhāmas and want your blessings Gurudeva. so please bless us. Guru Mahārāja you successful completed your Bhakti-vaibhava, in this age also you are giving us example, how seriously we must read Śrīla Prabhupāda books. In Dallas temple at present the Bhakti-śāstrī classes are going, Guru Mahārāja please give your blessings so that very soon I can also join in Bhakti-śāstrī course. You are our inspiration Guru Mahārāja, we are trying slowly to follow your footsteps very sincerely. For this Gaura Pūrṇimā in ISKCON Vijaywada temple they open a new alter for Śrī Śrī Rādhā Śyāmasundara, they did a grand flower abhiṣekam to the Lordships.
Gurudeva, you are our real father, you always think of us, how to bring my children in to Kṛṣṇa consciousness and how to engage them in devotional services and how to give them Gaurāṅga Mahāprabhu mercy. I wish you always stay health and happy. Since you are our guru, your representative of Kṛṣṇa, so I have no doubts that Kṛṣṇa is always walking by your side, holding your hand and personally protecting you all the time.
Being your disciple, I find myself very fortunate and accepting me as a disciple by you is the biggest achievement of my life. I just want your blessings to become a good devotee of your and Kṛṣṇa’s lotus feet. It is only because of your mercy I can think of reaching my destination.
I very sincerely beg you to forgive me for whatever offenses I may have committed at your lotus feet, knowingly or unknowingly, and remove my ignorance. And to shower your causeless mercy and blessings on me to act as a puppet in your hands.
I prayer at the lotus feet at Rādhā-Mādhava, Pañca-tattva, Prahlāda-Narasiṁhadeva and Jagannātha Baladeva Subhadrā Mahārāṇī that they may always protect you and keep you in the best of health as long as you desire to perform your līlā on this earth planet.
We would like to pray for Lord Narasiṁhadeva to protect and bless you so that you recover from your current health condition and gain good health to serve and fulfill Śrīla Prabhupāda’s mission. Guru Mahārāja please bless us so that we chant our rounds offencelessly and continue to relish the taste for chanting and help to bring eagerness for chanting. You always guided, motivated, and helped us to progress in Kṛṣṇa consciousness. You sacrificed everything to serve Śrīla Prabhupāda and Kṛṣṇa. We Love u lots Gurudeva with all our hearts. Thank you is a very small word for what you gave us but thank you so much for everything Guru Mahārāja.
All glories to Your Holiness,
All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda and Guru-paramparā,
All glories to Śrī Guru and Gaurāṅga,
Your loving spiritual family,
