My most respectful Guru Mahārāja,
Please accept my humble obeisances at your divine lotus feet.
All glories to you!
All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda!
I am very very fortunate to be accepted by you as your disciple because I am the most unqualified person but you have showered your causeless mercy in connecting me to the paramparā. I always feel that whatever miniscule service I am able to do in Kṛṣṇa consciousness is because of your unlimited mercy. You are my motivation in practicing devotional service because you have always shown by example for all of us to follow. Your dedication and love for reading Prabhupāda books and doing Bhaktivedanta degrees inspired me a lot which enabled me to enroll in Bhakti-śāstrī course. I feel more interested in reading now. Whenever I slowdown in Kṛṣṇa consciousness giving myself health reasons as an excuse, I immediately think of you because you have always increased your momentum in devotional service when you face health issues. You are always working on the spiritual platform. That’s why anyone who comes in close association with you gets enlightened in Bhakti. On this auspicious occasion of your 75th appearance day, I seek your blessings so that I can be a small instrument in your mission in serving Śrīla Prabhupāda to bring more souls to Kṛṣṇa consciousness.
Your insignificant servant,
Sarvānanada Acyuta Dāsa
