All glories to your divine auspicious appearance day.
In all humility, I bow my head at your lotus feet repeatedly for all the mercy that you have bestowed on your fallen servant.
Although I have no qualification to glorify or offer my humble words to you but pouring my heart out today please forgive me oh most merciful father for any offense by word mind and deeds.
Dearest father you came in my life when I lost my every hope to revive my Kṛṣṇa consciousness, I was scared thinking how will I continue my journey to godhead. then you as a ray of hope came to save me from darkness of material world and opened my eyes, which were blinded by the cataract of ignorance. through your mercy, your presence you always protected me in my devotional life although I have no qualification, I’m a stool worm drowning in the filthy pond and enjoying there happily thinking its the real happiness and you came with your big karatālas and roared Gaurāṅga Nityānanda to woke me up from my sleep of ignorance, Alas! Alas! Still, I have not developed love for such a loving spiritual father. It always surprise me how you care for each one of us no matter where you are, what you are doing you are always caring for us. your love has no measure. without your mercy I’m nothing Guru Mahārāja. from Zoom blessing to darśana in Kolkata Ratha-yātrā, July’23 from your divine shelter to Māyāpur dhāma you bestowed your ultimate mercy to this unworthy useless daughter of yours.
You are the personification of compassion and love. Forever I want to meditate on the mercy of yours that how you are taking so many bodily difficulties travelling all over the world repeatedly and very mercifully giving all the living entities kṛṣṇa-prema by classes, zoom darśanas, personal darśanas, developing Māyāpur dhāma, meeting, caring, uplifting every living beings and so on there are innumerable qualities which cannot be counted for an insignificant soul like me. to fulfil the desire of Śrīla Prabhupāda you dedicated your whole life every single instruction of him is your life and soul.
You are patita-pāvana: not only for your children but for everyone. you want all of us to go back to godhead in this very lifetime carrying the mood of Lord Nityānanda you are freely distributing the love of godhead.
Kṛpā-sindhu: your mercy has no bound. through zoom darśana, everyday classes, maha-prasāda, books, blessings and many, many more you are always bestowing the ultimate kṛpā to every living entity.
Devotee care: you always emphasize the point that we should care and love each other cooperate with each other that will please you and Śrīla Prabhupāda. And you are the living example of that how you everyday every moment thinking about all of us doing so much for us travelling in such a critical situation, tolerating all the pain by yourself so that we don’t have to suffer in 84 lakhs species of life.
Guru-niṣṭhā: Śrīla Prabhupāda is your life and soul. You are teaching us by your example how you are carrying the mission of Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu following the instructions our His Divine Grace Śrīla Prabhupāda. You are the epitome of guru-niṣṭhā. From morning to night you are living on his instructions and encouraging all of us to also join the movement and serve His Divine Grace and Lord. How you are emphasizing the point we should have a degree of Bhakti-śāstrī, Bhakti-vaibhava, etc., so that we learn by reading Śrīla Prabhupāda’s books apply that to our lives and preach to everyone. devotion with philosophical knowledge of the Lord just as Lord Kṛṣṇa says in the Bhagavad-gītā.
May we also develop the mood to serve you Guru Mahārāja may we also live by following your instructions and carry this mission of Lord Caitanya just as you said on 4 February, 2024 to preach about Lord Gaurāṅga to anyone and everyone.
You desire that all generations should understand the glories of His Divine Grace Śrīla Prabhupāda, I want to fulfill your desire Guru Mahārāja please bless your useless daughter.
Please bless this fool may I develop the desire to serve you eternally and never leave your lotus feet which is my eternal shelter and may the qualities of a good humble disciple arise in me so that I don’t be a burden on my guru after my initiation and may I follow your footsteps eternally.
Thank you for everything Guru Mahārāja.
Your aspiring servant,
