May You always stay healthy and serve Śrīla Prabhupāda. Thank You so much Gurudeva for making me realize that Serving Śrīla Prabhupāda and our Previous Ācāryas is the real goal of my life. Thank u so much for making me realize that Reading Śrīla Prabhupāda books is the most important aspect of our spiritual life. Thank u so much Guru Mahārāja for making me feel that I am not alone. You are always with me, I can feel you everywhere. Thank u So much Guru Mahārāja for giving me courage to again start my life. I don't have any fortune but it's Prabhupāda's and Kṛṣṇa's mercy that I got a glorious, and a nitya-siddha mahā bhāgavad as my Guru. On this auspicious appearance day of yours I have written a small poem in Bengali which expresses my feeling for you.
Kṛṣṇa nāma prachāra hetu guru e jogot e ase
Kṛṣṇa kṛpa karile guru hṛdi majhe ase
guru prasāde pai Kṛṣṇa, śāstra kore angikar
tobe kno e pamare guru koren na svikar
ami oti durachaari, kichu nahi mor
sorvoda vaiṣṇavaera prati irshā ar krodha
ninda kori vaiṣṇava name dare dare giya
ahankare śāstro jñana vitoron koriya
vaiṣṇavera hridaye sada govinda bisram
sei gobinder hridoy ami prohar korilam
śātra mata taharo kotha dhulate feliya
asastriyo karjo kore papachari hoiya
amaro guru śrīla jayapatākā patita pavan
ananta pataki jone korila sodhon
tahe aj asiyachi taharo chorone
"kripa kori sodho more, guru vaiṣṇava gane"
tumi oti doyalu prabhu, ami durachaari
tumi kripa na korile bachite nahi pari
kripa kori bandho more sabodhano mote
kobuo na hoi apraadhi vaiṣṇava charane
śātra kohe guru vakya ei sorbo srestho
ei chara e jogote ar sob vyartha
amaro omon bhav kobe jonmaibe
kobe guru charan amar hridoy te lagibe
kobe ami vaiṣṇava gone koribo somman
kobe Kṛṣṇa nam mohima koribo guno gaan
kobe amar hobe śrī guru charane rati
kobe ami paibo aswadite sei jugal piriti
kobe ami chadibo e vaishay abhiman
guru charan hoite ami koribo guṇa gaan
kobe śrī caitanya more koribeno doya
chadibo e jagata samsarer trai guni māyā
ha ha prabhu kobe ami koribo guṇa gaan
guru vaishnaver charana renu ei sobcheye mohan
guru charan na paile ei jibon vyartha
jayapatakara dāsī mange taharo pada padma
Thank you Śrīla Guru Mahārāja for giving me Shelter at your divine lotus feet which is a source of immense Kṛṣṇa-bhakti. Guru Mahārāja you taught me that the feeling of gratitude and unflinching faith towards Kṛṣṇa and vaiṣṇava is one of the most important aspects of spiritual life. Thank u for always warning me about Vaiṣṇava aparādhas . Thank you for guiding and loving me like a father always. I pray to Śrī Śrī Gaurāṅga and Nityānanda, that may I have unflinching faith and devotion at your lotus feet life time after life time.
Your Sheltered Spiritual Daughter
