All Glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda! All Glories to Guru Mahārāja! All Glories to this most auspicious day, your appearance day! I am currently under your disciple His Grace Adhokṣaja Mādhava Dāsa, my śikṣā-gurujī, in Salt Lake City, Kolkata, India.
In Rath Yātrā, 2023 for the first time I had seen you Guru Mahārāja and when you were passing by I had got the mercy of touching your lotus feet. In February 2024, when you had come to Kolkata, by the mercy of His Grace Mahā Varāha Prabhujī I was able to submit a project plan named “Jayapatākā Earthquake Saṅkīrtana Party” as a very small service on my behalf to help you in fulfilling Śrīla Prabhupāda and Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu’s mission. His Grace Mahā Varāha Prabhujī had mentioned in one his speech, that how you had ‘negotiated’ with Lord Himself more than 4 times! that you wanted to remain here as you wanted to serve Śrīla Prabhupāda’s instruction more and more! While going from Kolkata airport to your flat, I saw how you were taking your dinner prasāda in the car itself! And then attending various calls and questions in the car itself. Along with this there are innumerable heroic legendary tales of you which have and will always continue to inspire us, to be such staunch disciples and how we have to serve the Spiritual Master. Guru Mahārāja, you have shown us again and again how a preacher is supposed to be preaching 24 hours regardless of any obstacle. This laulyam of yours inspires us so much!
Please bless me Guru Mahārāja, in front of your unconditional, unalloyed dedicated service, I am not even qualified to speak about you, what to speak about your glorification, without your causeless mercy this insignificant jīva cannot even move 1 inch forward. Guru Mahārāja it is my deep, deep desire to become your disciple even though I am not qualified, please accept me, I wish to serve you life after life! Please don’t stop giving initiation, please wait for me, I am ready to do anything for you my dear Guru Mahārāja. KOṬI KOṬI DAṆḌVAT PRAṆAMA AT YOUR LOTUS FEET.
Your special small servant,
Anant Sureka, Kolkata
