My dear Gurudeva,
Hare Kṛṣṇa!
My millions of humble and respectful daṇḍavat-praṇāmas to the dust of your lotus feet. Please accept it out of your own sheer causeless mercy alone... Gurudeva!!
All glories to Śrī Guru and Śrī Gaurāṇga.
All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda.
All glories to your Holiness.
All glories to all the Vaiṣṇavas.
Gurudeva, this is your insignificant servant - Keśi Damana Kṛṣṇa dāsa, attempting to offer this homage letter and my deepest gratitude to your Holiness on your auspicious 75th Vyāsa-pūjā. I humbly request at your holy feet to accept it out of your sheer causeless mercy alone.
Gurudeva, only and only by your sheer causeless mercy alone, you mercifully took me under your loving shelter by blessing harināma dīkṣā in 2016 though I do not have any qualification at all. And only by your unlimited mercy and blessings alone, I’m still hanging around in this Kṛṣṇa Conscious life and able to do sixteen rounds of chanting every day. I’m eternally grateful to you for this causeless mercy and I wish to serve you for the eternity and even beyond as your servant of the servant of the servant… Gurudeva!
Your untiring preaching service even in your present health condition is encouraging me to be enthusiastic and to serve you in my little way and earnestly trying to render within my capability. By your mercy alone, I have got a supporting Kṛṣṇa conscious family and we, as a family, sincerely seeking necessary guidance from the senior Vaiṣṇavas and moving forward in our Kṛṣṇa conscious life… Gurudeva.
Gurudeva, without your merciful glance upon this THE MOST FALLEN conditioned soul, I don’t have any ability to perform any service to your lotus feet and to our dear Rādhārani and Kṛṣṇa and all the guru-paramparā. Hence, I humbly and earnestly beg at your lotus feet to please, please, please bless me to serve you in the way it pleases you the most.
Gurudeva, as it is said that Vaiṣṇavas are generally very merciful, and on their divine appearance day, they are even more merciful than ever to the fallen souls – like myself. Keeping this truth in view, on this auspicious occasion of your Vyāsa-pūjā, I humbly fall at your lotus feet and earnestly beg and beg and beg to you, dear Gurudeva, please forgive your this patīta sevaka for all the offences committed -- knowingly and unknowingly -- towards your holy self and towards any other devotees and disciples.
Gurudeva, I heard from my śikṣā-Guru that the greatest gift that we can ever offer to anyone is to sincerely pray to Kṛṣṇa for them. Although I do not at all have any qualification whatsoever, keeping this truth in mind, Gurudeva, on this auspicious occasion, from the very depths of my heart, I earnestly pray to our beloved Rādhārāṇī and Kṛṣṇa, Śrīla Prabhupāda and all the guru-paramparā to please give you Their merciful blessings in your mission to please Śrīla Prabhupāda, Rādhārāṇī and Kṛṣṇa. This is what this poor, helpless, unworthy and unfit servant can do for you. Out of your own sheer causeless mercy alone, please accept this insignificant service as a small token of my love for you, dear Gurudeva.
Please bless me that my love for you becomes really pure, unconditional, uninterrupted and limitless, and it keeps on ever-increasing, and my guru-niṣṭhā and my commitment to your mission keeps on deepening, and I render -- most lovingly and most unconditionally -- pure, loving, unconditional, uninterrupted, infinite, unflinching and unmotivated devotional service to your holy self, all the guru-paramparā, all the Vaiṣṇavas, and our beloved Rādhārāṇī and Kṛṣṇa, in the way it pleases all of Them the most -- eternally and even beyond. Your merciful blessings alone can take me in that direction – Gurudeva!
With my heartfelt deep gratitude and millions of humble obeisances at your lotus feet,
Aspiring to be the servant of the servant of the servant of your holy self,
Keśi Damana Kṛṣṇa dāsa.
