Dear spiritual father,
Please accept our most respectful humble obeisances at your divine lotus feet. All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda. All glories to you.
Your unlimited qualities are like waves of the ocean which inspire us each and every moment. Although we are greatly unqualified to glorify your transcendental qualities, we want to purify ourselves by taking this wonderful opportunity to glorify you. Dear Guru Mahārāja, Your continuous commitment to study Śrīla Prabhupāda’s books is a constant source of encouragement for all of us. You are always thinking about spreading Śrīla Prabhupāda’s message to the whole world through book distribution. A caring spiritual father like you consistently exemplify humility and compassion, teaching us how to be more caring and humble. Greatly inspired by your strong and deep attachment for Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu and Śrīmān Nityānanda Prabhu, we are trying to cultivate a small but significant attachment to the Lord and His associates.
By your mercy we are trying to contribute some preaching services in Bhubaneswar. Under the guidance of a local authority of ISKCON Bhubaneswar we’re trying to take care of the local congregation devotees and kids. We are celebrating different festivals at our center and organizing kids program every weekend.
Dear Guru Mahārāja, kindly bless us so that we can serve you by helping you expanding Kṛṣṇa consciousness. Kindly give us shelter at your lotus feet so that we can serve you eternally. On this auspicious day of your appearance, we are begging forgiveness from you for our offences committed at your lotus feet knowingly or unknowingly. Please bless us so that we can simply become an instrument in your hands to fulfill the desires of Śrīla Prabhupāda and previous ācāryas.
All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda! All glories to you!
All glories to the auspicious appearance day of you!
Trying to be your insignificant servants,
Prāṇeśvara Śacīnandan Dāsa and Sudevī Jayaśrī Devī Dāsī (Dīkṣā)
