Respected Śrīla Guru Mahārāja,
Please accept Our Prostrated Humble Obesciences unto Your Lotus feet! All Glories to Your Divine Grace! All Glories to Gaurāṅga! All Glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda!
Guru Mahārāja, I am eternally indebted to you for shower of mercy choosing me and engaging in the sevas. In spite of my shortcomings, limitations, I am cherishing the downpour of reciprocation and inspiration to serve more.
mūkaṁ karoti vācālaṁ paṅguṁ laṅghayate girim
yat-kṛpā tam ahaṁ vande śrī-gurun dina tāriṇam
paramānanda-mādhavam śrī caitanya īśvaram
“I offer my respectful obeisances unto my spiritual master, the deliverer of the fallen souls. His mercy turns the dumb into eloquent speakers and enables the lame to cross mountains.”
oṁ ajñāna-timirāndhasya jñānāñjana-śalākayā
cakṣur unmīlitaṁ yena tasmai śrī-gurave namaḥ
“I offer my respectful obeisances unto my spiritual master, who has opened my eyes, which were blinded by the darkness of ignorance, with the torchlight of knowledge.”
I beg you to bless with strength and energy to follow your instructions sincerely and begging for empowerment.
Your recent initiative and efforts have surmounted the spirit of preaching in all times and is inspirational. Your manifestation of pure heart filled with Gaurāṅga Mahāprabhu’s compassion for fallen souls is glorious.

“O spiritual master, O giver of divine wisdom, O friend of the fallen, you are the giver of your own bliss and you are the only ocean of mercy. Although dwelling in Vrindavana, you have descended for the welfare of fallen souls like myself and you are preaching the divine love of Rādhā for Kṛṣṇa. Please be kind upon me.”
