Hare Kṛṣṇa Dear Guru Mahārāja,
Please accept my most humble obeisances unto your lotus feet.
All glories to Your Divine appearance day. All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda.
Dear Guru Mahārāja, You are beloved disciple of Śrīla Prabhupāda, following his mood and mission, even being in so much difficulty. An ācarya is one who teaches the whole world by his own example and You are doing it perfectly from so many years. You have dedicated Your whole life for distributing the mercy of Śrī Gaura-Nitāi to everyone, irrespective of one's qualification. You have delivered so many conditioned souls from this illusory material conception of life and still continuing to distribute the mercy.
Dear Guru Mahārāja, I am astonished by seeing Your enthusiasm for preaching the message of Lord Caitanya. Even being in such an adverse health conditions and so many physical limitations, You are travelling to many places to encourage the devotees. Everyday You are enlightening us by giving wonderful lectures. You are extending Yourself to give question & answer sessions which are like spiritual boosters for us. Your service attitude to fulfill the mission of Śrīla Prabhupāda is exemplary for all the members of ISKCON to get inspired and follow it. You are exhibiting the mood of Lord Nityanand who distributed the mercy of the holy name even to the most fallen souls like Jagāi-Madhāi. Similarly, you are travelling to every town and village to distribute the holy name freely to everyone. This is the most magnanimous service done by you for the whole mankind.
Dear Guru Mahārāja, I am eternally grateful to You for saving me from the dāvānala of this material world. When I see the pathetic condition of the materialistic people, I realize what causeless mercy I have received from You. By the śīkṣā received from You, I can understand the temporary nature of this material world, so I remain free from anxieties and hankerings. In this Kaliyuga, it is very diificult to follow the path of Kṛṣṇa Consciousness, but You have made it very easy for us by giving us such a wonderful association of devotees and divine teachings.
On my initiation day, You instructed me to do ātma-nivedanam to Kṛṣṇa. I am still struggling to develop that mood of surrender. I am struggling with so many anarthās, to ged rid of my independent mentality, to develop proper service attitude and to be free from the desire of sense-gratification. I have no qualification, so I can only beg for Your kind mercy. Only by the blessings of the Guru, a disciple can do some sevā to please Kṛṣṇa, so I beg for Your kind blessings that I can become more serious and sincere for Kṛṣṇa Consciousness.
Your spiritual son,
Subala Kṛṣṇa Mitra Dāsa
