Hare Kṛṣṇa Dear Guru Mahārāja,
Please accept my humble and respectable obeisances. All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda! All glories to your auspicious appearance day!
I am completely unqualified but making a small attempt to glorify you for my own purification.
nama oṁ viṣṇu-pādāya Kṛṣṇa-preṣṭhāya bhū-tale
śrīmate jayapatākā-svāmin iti nāmine
namo ācāryapādāya nitāi-kṛpa-pradāyine
gaura-kathā dhāma dāya nagara-grāma tāriṇe
O’ Guru Mahārāja, this is the mantra keeping my hopes alive, getting all the inspiration to carry out my devotional services and putting my endeavor to serve you. Relentlessly, you are engaged in Gaura-kathā, I feel unfortunate that I am not able to listen regularly and purify my heart off the dirt of material desires accumulated for millions of lifetimes.
guru-mukha-padma-vakya, chittete koriya aikya,
ar na koriho mane asha
Please bless me so that I can hear more and more and relish your Gaura-kathā, you speak as you are witnessing them right there. Your call out of the name “Gaurāṅga! Gaurāṅga! Gaurāṅga!” melts my heart, I feel so blissful for a moment, oblivious of the material pangs.
In spite of your physical challenges, you are still travelling all over the world and distributing your mercy on the fallen souls, exactly imbibing the mood of Śrīla Prabhupāda. Just by your glance, thousands of people even in airport, in hospitals and who ever come near you get the mercy. We enjoy hearing about them; how they got the bhakti-lata-bij and many of us started our journey to bhakti the same way. We are so grateful to you and your determined nagara grama bhraman.
Meditating on your instruction to devotees of Bangalore, to make Bangalore the first Kṛṣṇa conscious city in the world, there are great efforts of expanding Bhakti Cnters and Bhakti-vṛkṣa in and around Whitefield area. By your mercy, this very very small insignificant servant of Your Holiness started conducting Bhakti-vṛkṣa class at our home. During Covid-time, I also got the opportunity of serving online Bhakti-Vriksha members and one of them took it seriously and seeking the shelter under your lotus feet.
I beg at your lotus feet to please bestow your causeless mercy upon me to make me a nimitta-mātraṁ-use this most useless spiritual son to engage in serving you and to please Śrīla Prabhupāda. Everything is happening according to the predictions of Lord Caitanya. Please be merciful on us that we can stay in constant touch with His sincere devotees.
Your servants,
Sarvanātha Kṛṣṇa dāsa
