"Nama om vishnu padaya
Krishna prestaya bhutale
Srimate Jayapatākā Swami iti namine
Nama acharya padaya Ñitai kripa pradayine
Goura katha dhama daya nagara grama tarine"
Dear and beloved guru Maharaj.
On this auspicious day of your appearance I offer my respectful obeisances at your lotus feet.
All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda
" sakale sammāna korite śakati,
deho' nātha! jathājatha
tabe to' gāibo, hari-nāma-sukhe,
aparādha ha 'be hata
I offer you all respects, for thus I may have the energy to know you correctly. Then, by chanting the holy name in great ecstasy, all my offenses will cease."
Dear Guru Maharaj, I feel very fortunate to be able to serve you in some way, and I am very grateful for this opportunity.
You have been my inspiration, my daily guide who gives me strength to practice Krishna consciousness. You are always encouraging us through your example and determination and although I am very unqualified and fallen, I have strived to always remain in good conscience, following the principles, chanting my daily rounds,, listening your classes, reading the books and offering my prayers and extra rounds of japa for your health. Although I cannot be present on this auspicious day, I always feel connected with you, I feel your presence every day and thus I find strength for my daily battle. Maya is always very strong and in any oversight she involves us in the illusions of this material world. Therefore, I ask you to please, bless me and protect me so that I can fight against the illusions of this world and can continue serving Sri Sri Radha Madana Mohana with humility and happiness, avoiding committing offenses.
By the mercy of the spiritual master one receives the benediction of Krishna. Without the grace of the spiritual master, one cannot make any advancement. Therefore, I should always remember and praise the spiritual master. At least three times a day I should offer my respectful obeisances unto the lotus feet of my spiritual master.( Gurvastakam, verse 8)
With my heart full of gratitude, I offer my respectful obeisances at your lótus feet.
All glories to Sri Sri guru and Gouranga!
Your most fallen servant,
Anandini Radharani devi dasi
