Dear Guru Mahārāja,
Please accept my humble obeisances.
Happy 75th Vyāsa-pūjā.
I know that Śrīla Rūpa Goswami had written this verse especially for you in his Bhakti Rasamrita Sindhu:
īhā yasya harer dāsye karmaṇā manasā girā
nikhilāsv apy avasthāsu jīvan-muktaḥ sa ucyate
The very little that I Know you, You offer gratefulness for every breath you take to the Supreme Lord and Śrīla Prabhupāda. "Everything for Kṛṣṇa, nothing for myself." has been your only approach in life.
If only you so desire, please give me the courage of remembrance, so that I can remember you at the end of my life. By serving you constantly, I can be freed from all material desires and become
completely pacified. When shall I engage as your permanent eternal servant and always feel joyful to have such a fitting master?
Gaura Premānande Hari Haribol. Jagat Guru Śrīla Prabhupāda ki Jai. Patit Pavan Guru Mahārāja ki Jai.
Your Disobedient Servant,
In Kṛṣṇa,
Sucāru Śyāma Dāsa
