My dearest Guru Mahārāja,
All glories to you! All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda!
Please accept my humble obeisances at your Lotus feet.
nama oṁ viṣṇu-pādāya kṛṣṇa-preṣṭhāya bhū-tale
śrīmate jayapatākā-svāmin iti nāmine
namo ācāryapādāya nitāi-kṛpa-pradāyine
gaura-kathā dhāmadhāya nagara-grāma tāriṇe
I consider it as a great honor and privilege accorded to me, to submit this homage at your lotus feet. Please permit me to do so even though I am in no way eligible for the same.
I realize that everything which has lately happened and is happening in my life is a reflection of your mercy and blessings. I humbly request for your continued mercy and blessings for me and as well as for all the devotees of Kṛṣṇa-kathā deśa for our sustained progress in Kṛṣṇa consciousness.
I always seek and look forward for your support, guidance and protection from all aprādhas and dangers, so that I may make quick progress to be worthy and fully qualified to serve Rādhā and Kṛṣṇa. I am aware that without your mercy and blessings, I can never make any progress in my spiritual endeavors.
I consider myself very fortunate on receiving Initiation from your Holiness and to be accepted as your disciple, on 21 June 2017 in Kṛṣṇa-katha Deśa, Qatar. For me it was a miracle. I have no doubt that it was made possible by your mercy alone. I never imagined, I will ever be initiated as long as I am in Kṛṣṇakathā Deśa, because of being employed with the "air force" and bound by military regulations.
However on this particular occasion I was sent abroad on military duty and was expected to be back by only July end or early August. But by your mercy, all of a sudden the entire scenario changed and early morning of 5th of June we were ordered to return back within 48hrs to Kṛṣṇa-kathā Deśa. Rest everything was like a dream for me. It was like some invisible force guiding me, everything happened so quickly and automatically, I found myself seated along with other devotees for initiation. It was a dream come true. It is all your mercy and blessings. Here I realize how merciful you are. I have no words to express my sincere gratitude and no words will ever compensate for this special mercy. I will remain always indebted to your Holiness and to all my śikṣā-gurus and senior devotees of Kṛṣṇa-kathā Deśa.
My dear Guru Mahārāja, I am an ardent fan of yours from the time I joined ISKCON and came to know about you. I have seen you always leading from the front like a great soldier. It seems nothing ever stops you from serving Śrīla Prabhupāda and Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu. What else if it is not your mercy that in spite of all your physical impediments you reach every nook and corner of the world to spread the message of Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu and also to pick us up the fallen and conditioned souls from the murky waters of this materialism and put us into the service of Supreme Lord Kṛṣṇa. You are a great source of encouragement for all of us. I bow my head at your Lotus feet.
Off late by your mercy I am assisting my God brother and sister Bahu Karuṇa Nitāi Prabhu and Sucāru Jāhnavī Mātājī in conducting Bhakti-vṛkṣas. I consider it as a great opportunity given to me for serving you and also to enhance my spiritual knowledge, thus helping me to anchor myself more strongly in your service and in Kṛṣṇa Consciousness.
Dear Guru Mahārāja please be merciful and kindly bless me and other members of Kṛṣṇa-kathā Deśa in all our endeavors to spread Kṛṣṇa Consciousness and also to give us the taste for chanting and serving.
I hope and pray to Lord Kṛṣṇa to give you all the strength and protection so that we can always remain under your direct guidance and blessings and serve you. All Glories to your Divine Grace
I remain your humble servant,
Deva Deva Gaura Dāsa (Dīkṣā),
Kṛṣṇa Katha Desh
