My dear Guru Mahārāja,
Please accept my respectful obeisances unto your lotus feet. All glories to Guru Mahārāja. All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda.
Happy 75th Vyāsa-pūjā wishes to my beloved Guru Mahārāja. On this auspicious day we would like to express our sincere gratitude for saving us continuously from the dangers of this material world. Only by your causeless mercy, fallen conditioned soul like me could chant the holy name, hear Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam and offer service to guru and Gaurāṅga. My spiritual journey is adorned with lots and lots of thorns, which got completely cleared by your causeless mercy. You have showed us by setting your life as an example, how dedicated and enthusiastic a devotee must be in fulfilling Guru’s instructions.
tasmād guruṁ prapadyeta
jijñāsuḥ śreya uttamam
śābde pare ca niṣṇātaṁ
brahmaṇy upaśamāśrayam
(SB 11. 3. 21)
Any person who seriously desires real happiness must seek a bona fide spiritual master. Such great personalities, who have taken shelter of the Supreme Godhead, leaving aside all material considerations, should be understood to be bona fide spiritual master.
True absolutely, true. I used to wonder how my Guru Mahārāja, despite of His bodily pain, travels all over the world in order to fulfill Śrīla Prabhupāda’s mission. Thank you, Guru Mahārāja for inspiring, motivating and teaching us on how to relentlessly indulge in the service of the Supreme Lord.
Praying to Lord Narasiṁhadeva to protect you and provide you the strength and good health so as to deliver more and more conditioned souls. Reciting Śrī Dhanvantari mantra daily (from FEB 14th, 2024 onwards) for my Guru Mahārāja’s dṛḍha-ārogya and dīrgha-āyu. Kindly keep us in your prayers.
Your humble servant,
