My dear spiritual father,
I offer my respectful obeisances unto my spiritual master, who has opened my eyes, which were blinded by the darkness of ignorance, with the torchlight of knowledge.
Please accept my respectful obeisances. All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda !
On this auspicious day,I pray to Śrī Śrī Kṛṣṇa Balarāma for your āyur-ārogya-saukhyaṁ so that like me, many souls will be engaged in Kṛṣṇa consciousness.Your mercy is like an ocean that never rests. Just like the tides in the sea, accepts everything found on the shore, you accept all the souls approaching you, never bothering about their qualification ! Your overwhelming desire is to bring as many souls as possible to the house that Śrīla Prabhupāda built.
Guru Mahārāja, you are our spiritual guide and spiritual support. Guru kṛṣṇa prasāde pāya bhakti latā bīja (Cc. Madhya 19.151)- Only under your care and guidance, our bhakti lata can grow and develop. On this wonderful occasion of your Vyāsa Pūjā, I humbly pray at Your Lotus feet to bless our family, our two sons, Bhakta Gaurahari and Bhakta Madhavkrishna so that we would always be engaged in serving Śrīla Prabhupāda’s mission. I am totally dependent on your causeless mercy to make any spiritual progress.
Your spiritual daughter,
Gokula Gaurāṅgī Devī Dasī
