nama oṁ viṣṇu-pādāya kṛṣṇa-preṣṭhāya bhū-tale

Hare Kṛṣṇa Dear Guru Mahārāja, Please accept my most respectful obeisances at Your Divine lotus feet. All Glories to Your Auspicious Appearance Day.
mūkaṁ karoti vācālaṁ paṅguṁ laṅghayate girim
yat-kṛpā tam ahaṁ vande śrī-guruṁ dīna-tāriṇam
paramānanda-mādhavam śrī-caitanya-īśvaram
A screw can be useful only if it is connected to the machine. As soon as it falls out it becomes unworthy. If there is any amount of devotional service I did or any amount of service I am able to contribute to Śrīla Prabhupāda’s movement, it’s only because of myself being connected to You.
You are the one who strengthened my faith towards deities and Vṛndā Devī whom I always circumambulate for your good health. Generally, people like me are so fallen than with a slight disturbance in life, we start to question Lord Kṛṣṇa’s mercy and potency of devotional service or think why these bad things happen to me. We still become effected even for minor problems in life.
But what astonishes me is how such a great soul like You tolerate all the severe physical pains which you take upon you just for uplifting others. How can anyone be so compassionate to accept the mistakes of others, not only forgives them but also nurtures them to understand the most merciful Śrī Kṛṣṇa Caitanya Mahāprabhu to further flood them with tidal waves of bliss.
ānandera sīmā nāi, nirānandera dūre jāy
Each and every moment of your stay in this world is a blessing to all fallen souls like me.
By your mercy I am currently engaged in serving devotees and Deities (through kīrtana) every Saturday for Bhagavad-gītā program at Vṛndāvana home based temple, Mysore under the guidance of His Grace Rādhā Kṛṣṇa Candra Prabhu. I am also attending and serving on occasions of each and every major festival. I regularly hear your online classes and try to contemplate on the same for applying in my life. I am contributing to virtual book table and also trying to contribute for JPS Volunteers in transcription service of your Nectar audio. I completed reading Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam up to 4th Canto with purports. I am highly indebted to you for your encouragement in this regard of reading Śrīla Prabhupāda books.
Please bless me so that all the anarthas in my heart are removed and I can chant in a humble state of mind. I earnestly beg for your blessings and mercy to become an instrument in serving Śrīla Prabhupāda’s mission and teachings and remember your instructions in every moment of my life to perfect my life and enable to perfect the lives of those around me.

(Cc. Ādi 9.41)
Please forgive my inability to express my gratitude to you. Please forgive my offences to your Lotus feet which are committed knowingly or unknowingly. I want you as my spiritual master even life after life.
I cannot be most anything. I can only be,
Your insignificant Servant,
Sarvapāvana Gaura Nitāi Dāsa, Home based temple Vṛndāvana, Mysore
