Hare Kṛṣṇa!
Please accept my humble obeisances unto your lotus feet. All glories to your auspicious appearance day!
Gurudeva, you have showered your endless mercy on innumerable fallen souls, and have broadcasted Kṛṣṇa consciousness throughout the globe, without a break.
I am forever indebted to you for your endless sacrifice in spreading the divine mission of Śrīla Prabhupāda and showering your causeless mercy on the fallen souls.
You are a living example of how one should stick to the instructions of the guru and never fail to spread Kṛṣṇa consciousness in the world.
You never fail to preach kṛṣṇa-kathā through lectures worldwide, no matter how your health condition is.
You are an endless source of strength, determination and faith in my life and keeping you at the center of my life has made my life better than ever.
Your endless love for Śrīla Prabhupāda, your deep faith in Kṛṣṇa and your strong determination in spreading the Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement despite of your physical health condition has shown us in real life that “The Body is just an outer dress. Soul is eternal, blissful and full of knowledge.”
You are an extraordinary soul, and are divinely blessed by Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu.
I’m eternally grateful that I’ve got this golden opportunity to get your merciful shelter in this lifetime.
I pray to Śrī Śrī Rādhā Mādhava Aṣṭa-sakhi vṛnda, Śrī Śrī Pañca-tattva, Śrī Śrī Narasiṁhadeva for your overall well-being and pray that your instructions spread to all the corners of the world and uplift thousands and thousands of fallen souls of this Kali-yuga.
Please bless me with opportunities to serve you more and more. Please bless me so that I can abide by your orders throughout this lifetime.
Kindly grant this fallen soul your causeless blessings and divine shelter. Please accept my most respectful obeisances unto your lotus feet. All glories to your auspicious appearance day! All glories to you! Jaya Śrīla Prabhupāda! Hare Kṛṣṇa!
Your insignificant fallen servant,
