Hare Krsna my beloved Guru Mahārāja,
Please accept my respectful obeisances at your dust of lotus feet on this most auspicious occasion of your 74th appearance.
All Glories to you and your extended mercy! All Glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda!
Gurudeva, on this merciful day I am trying to meditate upon your extended mercy in my life. This relationship is very subtle, thus most of the time I am not able to recognize your extended mercy, which is flowing in various ways. From your recent visit of Vṛndāvana, I have been meditating that how you are determined to follow Śrīla Prabhupāda’s instruction as best as you can. For example, Śrīla Prabhupāda asked you to install footprint Lord Caitanya, wherever He visited. So, you are doing this service so expertly. Also, you were cautioning me that how one must be very serious to be in dhāma like Vṛndāvana.
Gurudeva, whenever I think not to obey certain system of Krsna, then immediately you extend your mercy in such way through your soldiers, and you protect me. In this way you are continuing to bestow your extended mercy. So, on this merciful day, I am humbly requesting to continue showering your extended mercy on this extremely disobedient disciple of yours. Heartly praying for your good health. Thank you so much for your extended mercy.
Yours insignificant disciple,
Navarūpa Nityānanda Dāsa
