Hare Kṛṣṇa!
Our Dearest Guru Mahārāja, daṇḍavat pranāma !!
Please accept our most humble and respectful obeisance to your lotus feet.
All Glories to you, All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda and to all our paramparā-ācāryas!
I have no ability to understand your glory. I don't understand a part of it. My effort would be like showing the sun in the light of a torch. Still, it is my duty to glorify you. So, just for the sake of my correction, here once again I am trying to do so, in my limited knowledge, intelligence and vocabulary. I don't know English very well. Still I am trying to write. Please forgive me if there is any mistake.
I first came to know about Prabhupāda's mission in 2014. I first heard about Prabhupāda, Māyāpur and Caitanya Mahāprabhu when my brother came home at the end of the semester from IIT Madras. At that time, I saw Caitanya Mahāprabhu's photo in his laptop screen. At the same time heard your name and saw your picture in his laptop. I don't know why, when I saw your picture, at the same time I felt that this is my guru. From that day something amazing started happening in my life. I went to Māyāpur at that time. From that time my impure life started changing. After some time saṅkīrtana bus party come to my house. Then meeting Sundara Govinda Prabhu and getting a chance to serve through him. Amazing. And slowly preaching started on our side.
By the mercy of you and our siksha-guru recently I got an opportunity to serve you and many devotees in your spiritual safari yātrā in Dhanbad. For those two days, it seemed as if we had entered Bhagavad Dhāma. I am very fortunate that with Kṛṣṇa's mercy I have got a very kind and generous spiritual master like you. We are very thankful to you as you accepted us as your disciple. I am very very happy to be your disciple. I don't have any ability to recite your glories. I pray to you that you give me blessings for that.
Give me blessings. So that I can write something about you.
गुरुर्ब्रह्मा गुरुर्विष्णुः गुरुर्देवो महेश्वरः।
गुरुर्साक्षात्परब्रह्म तस्मै श्रीगुरवे नमः।।
स्वर्ग मृत्यु पाताल में पूर तीन सुख नांहि।
सुख आपके चरणन में अरु संतन के माँहि।।1।।
तिन्ह चरणन में पाइये गौर निताई कौ घाट।
सहज ही खुलि जात है गौर मिलन के बाट।।2।।
हे गुरुवार जो अपनों वचन लियो सिरधार।
प्रभुपाद को अतिप्रिय बन पुरा कियो सब काज।।3।।
प्रभुपाद के हर वचन को जीवन लियो बनाय ।
पुरण किजो सब काज सह पतितों का उद्धार।।4।।
अस्वस्थ काया को बाद भी भ्रमण तेज कर जाय।
हम पतितो के उद्धार को गौर प्रेम जो लुटाय ।।5।।
सहजो भज हरिनाम को छाँडि जगत का नेह।
अपना तो कोई है नहीं अपनी सगी न देह।।6।।
हम पतितो को आपने अपना लियो बनाय।
मुझ पतितो के उद्धार को नित्य गौर कथा सुनाय।।7।।
नित्य आदेश पालन करूं न करूं कोई आश ।
सोई अभिलाष करे देवदेव माधव दास।।8।।
I have no writing skills, there can be mistakes in writing, please forgive me as servant of your lotus feet. Please bless me so that I can do better preaching while in this body.
