nama oṁ viṣṇu-pādāya kṛṣṇa-preṣṭhāya bhū-tale
śrīmate bhaktivedānta-svāminn iti nāmine
namas te sārasvate deve gaura-vāṇī-pracāriṇe
nirviśeṣa-śūnyavādi-pāścātya-deśa-tāriṇe
mūkaṁ karoti vācālaṁ paṅguṁ laṅghayate girim
yat-kṛpā tam ahaṁ vande śrī-gurum dīna-tāranam
“I offer my respectful obeisances unto my spiritual master, the deliverer of the fallen souls. His mercy turns dumb into eloquent speakers and enables the lame to cross mountains.”
Hare Kṛṣṇa dear Guru Mahārāja,
On this auspicious occasion of your Vyāsa Pūjā day, please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet.
All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda!
All glories to you on your appearance day!
I neither have any qualification nor any knowledge to glorify you on this auspicious occasion. I offer my humble attempt to serve you.
Last year was the best year of my life when I was fortunate enough to have your divine darśana at Bhubaneswar airport on 11th November. This was the first time I ever met you and the experience I had can’t be explained using words. you were kind enough to accept us as your disciples and granted us Harināma dīkṣā in Śrī Jagannātha Purī Dhāma. your mercy is limitless and an elevated soul like yourself accepted a fallen soul like me.
Śrīla Gurudeva, by your mercy I am doing a little bit of service in the kitchen. I might be doing some aparādha and I beg for forgiveness at your lotus feet as you are my only hope of deliverance.
Guru Mahārāja, I have many offences and make many mistakes. you are very merciful and will surely forgive these. Thank you for your continued tolerance and patience in me. Please grant me the ability and intelligence to fully dedicate my life and serve this wonderful movement until my last breath.
Your humble servant and spiritual son,
Sudhā Sindhū Kṛṣṇa Dāsa
