Dear Guru Mahārāja,
Please accept my most respectful obeisances unto your lotus feet. All Glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda …!!! All Glories to Śrī Guru and Śrī Gaurāṅga…!!!
On this auspicious occasion of Your 75th Vyāsa-pūjā, we lovingly wish you a very blissful appearance day. We offer our heartfelt prayers to Lord Narsimhadeva, Śrī Śrī Rādhā Madhava Aṣṭa sakīs and Pañca tattva to keep you in good health & let you be in Śrīla Prabhupāda’s service, if Their Lordships desire so.
Guru Mahārāja,
Though I do not have the ability to even list out your infinite glories, I am trying to glorify you and express my deep gratitude to you, as part of my duty as a spiritual daughter. Kindly accept this offering of love and gratitude.
You always show by your example, not to spend even a moment away from Kṛṣṇa consciousness.
Even when your body experiences severe difficulties, you continue to serve Lord & Śrīla Prabhupāda through your relentless preaching.
You show us that your consciousness is not on any material platform, you are fully on the spiritual realm, doing sevā after sevā. Your determination & enthusiasm in devotional service is unparalleled.
When I struggle with tolerating any bodily ailment, I admire how much spiritually elevated you are, to ignore / tolerate all bodily discomforts and fully engage in devotional service.
Your total absorption & bliss in Gaurāṅga’s pastimes & instructions, is so wonderful. You are an eternal associate of Lord Caitanya and you are also very munificent like Lord Caitanya. Hearing Lord Caitanya's pastimes from you is very special. In any lecture, your attachment to Gaurāṅga manifests as sweet narrations. I really like to hear Lord Caitanya's pastimes from you. I feel you are always living in those eternal pastimes & trying to give us glimpses of it.
I know you are praying every day for all our spiritual welfare, it is a great assurance, but still I seek your protection, like a weak daughter requesting her strong father for protection. Every moment there is danger in this world & my spiritual advancement is very tiny to accept everything as Lord's will. So, I always pray for the protection of my dear ones- especially my children to somehow become devotees, be attached to devotees of Lord and not to deviate because of association at their educational institutions. Kindly bless them.
I submit my prayerful gratitude to Lord to have given you as my spiritual father. I pray that somehow, I may be able to please you through my insignificant services of preaching.
Guru Mahārāja, when I see your preaching efforts, other services & travel, I realize how much loyal you are to Śrīla Prabhupāda & to paramparā. You have taken the curse received by Nārada muni & Śrīla Prabhupāda, just for the sake of reaching out to more & more souls. Though I always feel very inadequate to preach, I pray to you in all my preaching efforts.. Like the tiny squirrel in Lord ŚrīRama's pastimes, kindly bless & accept my insignificant sevā. Gurudeva, I have strong desire to preach / assist in preaching so that many more souls are eternally benefited.
Kṛṣṇa-śakti vinā nahe tāra pravartana. (Unless endowed with the mercy of the Lord, one cannot preach the glories of the Lord) A drop of your mercy can help so many souls, kindly make me instrumental in more preaching sevā with a droplet of bhakti śakti. Currently by your mercy, I am involved in preaching youth girls/college students in Thiruvananthapuram. I'm praying that your mercy reaches all of them & they become attached to devotional service & become Vaiṣṇavīs.
We try to support the yātrā & contribute sevā & Lakshmi for different programs like festivals, Vaiṣṇava sevā, book distribution, Nagara saṅkīrtana, Deity sevā etc. By your causeless mercy, we are getting ample opportunities of service. Kindly bless us to be able to serve & support ISKCON more with humility.
I also pray that my mother and brother also be blessed with the gift of Kṛṣṇa Consciousness. Kindly help me in bringing them closer to devotional service. Please shower your mercy on them so that they may also engage in the eternal service of Śrī Śrī Rādhā Mādhava.
I sincerely desire that this is my last birth & that I may be allowed to go back to spiritual world after this lifetime itself...I'm so tired & beaten up by all the material experiences, frustrations & though I haven't developed deep spiritual realization, I seek your blessings that somehow I may be able to perfect this lifetime & be able to go back to Godhead.
Guru Mahārāja, please forgive me for any offences I may have committed knowingly or unknowingly and I beg for your blessings for our spiritual advancement and to serve you and Kṛṣṇa in a better way. Please help us to improve devotee care and to increase our preaching activities with more love and care.
Śrīla Gurudeva, please bless us and all the devotees whom we are trying to care, train and help in their services, on behalf of you. Kindly bless us all so that we can overcome the present impediments and improve our preaching to more conditioned souls. Kindly help us to be free from all offenses so that we may develop a taste for the Holy names.
Praying for your mercy and blessings so that we perform our material and spiritual duties with the right attitude and service mood for the pleasure of Śrī Guru and Śrī Gaurāṅga. We humbly express our deep desire to be blessed with the dust from your lotus feet. I express my deepest gratitude to you. You are the greatest gift in our lives. We love you Gurudeva.
Gaurāṅga !!!!
Thanking you
