Dearest Gurudev,
Please accept my most respectful obeisances unto your divine lotus feet.
It is our great fortune to be under the shelter of your holiness, who is a constant beam of abundant mercy and enthusiasm for fulfilling Srila Prabhupad’s orders and wishes.
You are such an extraordinary disciple, Guru and a devotee, however I am so insignificant that I can’t even glorify you properly.
You are so kind and compassionate not just towards your disciples but to one and all, taking everyone under your ever expanding and merciful umbrella.
This year we had the greatest fortune of participating in Navadwip Mandal Parikrama during Gaura Purnima due to your blessings and mercy. It was an absolutely blissful experience and we had a chance to witness just how much of sweat and blood is consumed to organise this gigantic event. All Glories to you! We got to spend a whole lot of 15 long days in Sridham Mayapur with our day starting with parikrama and ending with your divine darshan and lectures. It was indeed a very blissful time, where we could relish the beauty of mayapur. Although I aspire to have just an ounce of attachment towards Sridham Mayapur, as those wonderful 15 days came to an end, we all felt some sort of separation and longing.
My prabhu, Bhupati Jagannath Das and I, got your special special mercy where you expressed how it was Srila Prabhupad’s wish that all grihastas become paramahamsas.
I pray unto your divine lotus feet that we may be able to atleast try to serve you in your mission.
Gurudev, you are going wayyy beyond your bodily sufferings to continue spreading the holy name without any break, of any sort, which only makes me realise how un-attached I actually am towards the Lord. I pray unto your divine lotus feet so that I can atleast experience what this attachment towards the lord and his associates feels like.
Dear Gurudev, I beg for your forgiveness for all the offences I’ve committed and committing everyday knowingly/unknowingly. I am such a fool but I do want to serve you. Please bless me that I may become free from this worldly attachment and develop intense desire to serve you with love and devotion and preach.
Please keep me at the dust of your lotus feet eternally. Also please bless me, my prabhu Bhupati Jagannath Das, my parents, sister and all our family members that we become Krishna conscious and serve Your Divine Grace and your servants with unflinching faith, love and devotion without committing offences.
On this most auspicious day of your Vyasapuja, I pray to Sri Sri Radha Madhav, Sri Narsimhadev, Sri Sri Panchatatva and Sri Sri Sri Jagannath Baladev Subhadramai Sudarshan chakra for your well being so that we may be able to have your association for a very very long time.
Your insignificant spiritual daughter,
Rasapriya Radharani Devi Dasi
(Diksha Disciple)
