To my dear Guru Mahārāja ,
A very happy Kṛṣṇa conscious appearance day dear Gurudeva. I am very fortunate to get a chance to glorify you Gurudeva but I don't know where to start and where to end because there is no beginning or end to your glories my dear Gurudeva. You are really the victory flag of Śrīla Prabhupāda. Your dedication and determination to serve Śrīla Prabhupāda is amazing Guru Mahārāja. Who can do that only you Guru Mahārāja. You have picked me from the dangerous ocean of material world. Even though I am dumb and useless, you made me do so many services it's all your mercy Guru Mahārāja. Its 100 per cent true that " mūkaṁ karoti vācālaṁ paṅguṁ laṅghayate girim " in my life. It is my great fortune to get a spiritual master like you and who is an associate of Caitanya Mahāprabhu. You are a perfect example for devotee care. When I speak about the tolerance level in you, its spell bound. One thing in you which attracts me the most is that of never fault finding nature. Please give a drop of these qualities to me Gurudeva. You are the pillar of success for our bhakti centres and everything in my life. I simply pray that one day I will be one in your dearest disciples list, and I will be able to please you always. I pray that I will be able to execute your desires. I pray to you that accepting me as a disciple should add a credit to you. please empower me to help you in your service to Śrīla Prabhupāda. Please give me Guru bhakti and forgive me for all the offences I have committed knowingly or unknowingly to your lotus feet. Thank you Guru Mahārāja for making my life meaningful.
Your unworthy servant,
