Dear Gurudeva,
Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda! All glories to you!
I beg you to accept my most respectful prostrated obeisances at your lotus feet.
Śrīla Gurudeva, on the occasion of your Vyāsa-pūjā this year, I pray to Śrī Śrī Rādhā Mādhava, Gaura Nitāi, and Narasiṁhadeva to protect you and bless you with good health.
Gurudeva, you are the personification of the instruction of Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam where it is mentioned that one should engage oneself with all his life – air, wealth, intelligence, and words for the real welfare of all living entities which is participating in the Saṅkīrtana movement.
By your causeless mercy I am able to follow the 4 regulative principles and chant nicely and to do my service to Gaura Nitāi Deities, its your mercy that I am able to serve them and the Yātrā to my best of my ability.
Gurudeva please bless me so that I am able to progress in Kṛṣṇa consciousness and take initiation at your lotus feet.
Kindly bless me and my family so that we can progress in Kṛṣṇa consciousness eternally by serving your lotus feet.
Your spiritual son,
Vinod Aravindan (aspiring disciple)
Gaurāṅga Deśa
