Hare Kṛṣṇa
My dear spiritual father Guru Mahārāja,
Please accept my respectful obeisances at Your divine lotus feet, my hermitage.
All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda.
Gurudeva; It makes me speechless and dumb, On this Gracious, Auspicious, Gorgeous and Magnanimous 75th Vyāsa-pūjā mahotsava of my beloved spiritual father His Holiness Jayapatākā Swami Ācāryapāda; How to repay back for making a lame, dumb, deaf and materially blind person like me You have been so kind, and so mercifully by holding my hand in Your lotus hand and put not only me but even my family and placed in 1982 in Bahrain, Balarāmadeśa, at the lotus feet of Śrī Nitāi Gaur, Śrī Rādhā Mādhava, guided at every step, advised all the time, taught so lovingly and showered Your anukampa how to practice Kṛṣṇa consciousness, Devotional service at the lotus feet of Śrī Guru and Gaurāṅga, the Lordship.
Me and my family are ever and ever indebted to You Guru Mahārāja. I don’t know how I could be ever able to repay back to You Gurudeva in this lifetime.
Guru Mahārāja, for me; You are the true personification of Love and mercy of Lord Nityānanda, You have come not only to associate with and assist Śrīla Prabhupāda in establishing lost love of Kṛṣṇa-prema Bhakti but also to uplift thousands and thousands of fallen souls like me all over the world. Me and many thousands of my God brothers and sisters don’t even know what good fortune we had that we have taken birth in that era when Your Holiness has appeared and accepted us as Your spiritual children and grandchildren, without considering cast, creed, color, language, nationality, without any discrimination, whole heartedly with so much love, affection and tender care, which even we don’t get from our biological parentage.
You, Gurudeva, are a true senāpati-bhakta of Śrīla Prabhupāda, demonstrating us at every single moment of Your deep surrender, trust, faith and sincere commitment that how to fulfill the desire and instructions of Your spiritual master Śrīla Prabhupāda in spite of such a state of compromised health. Guru Mahārāja You have proven again and again that You are not this body but A divine soul, associate of Nitāi Gaura Kṛṣṇa to spread Kṛṣṇa consciousness, World over, freely.
On this Glorious 75th Vyāsa-pūjā festivity; It makes me more humble and respectfully offer my heartfelt Homage at Your divine lotus feet, Guru Mahārāja.
Please keep showering Your divine mercy and blessings upon me so that I could be ever and ever keep serving the lotus feet of Your Holiness and Śrīla Prabhupāda, so lovingly like You have been.
Your insignificant spiritual son
