Dear Gurudeva,
Please accept our humble obeisances at the dust of your lotus feet. All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda. All glories to Your Holiness. It is our great good fortune to celebrate Your 75th Vyāsa-pūjā ceremony. Your entire life has been an inspiring example for whole world to follow as to how a disciple must serve and offer everything to his spiritual master.
Dear Guru Mahārāja,
By your mercy this year we took shelter under you, we are really struggling to do our daily sādhana. We have completely depended on your mercy on this. By your mercy only we can perform devotional service without any difficulties. Now we are in the path of initiation, please shower your blessing upon us to follow our sādhana properly to achieve the spiritual goals. Hṛṣīkeśa is doing mṛdaṅga practice and attending KKC classes, please bless him to continue his spiritual practices. Similarly, Vṛndā has just commenced her chanting of the Hare Kṛṣṇa mantra. May your kind blessings accompany her on this journey, propelling her advancement in Kṛṣṇa consciousness. Recognising Kṛṣṇa consciousness as the greatest gift we can bestow upon our children, we beg your merciful guidance to direct them along the path of righteousness and fulfil their sacred duties. Despite my persistent lack of confidence in executing my śīkṣā-guru’s desires, particularly in the realm of preaching, I seek your assistance and blessings to fulfil my devotional responsibilities.
On this most auspicious day, we beg forgiveness for our offences unto your lotus feet and beg for your causeless mercy to serve in this glorious movement under the shelter of pure devotees like Your Holiness.
We pray to Lord Narasiṁhadeva for your long and healthy life for our own benefit so that we can continue to serve in this glorious movement under your shelter.
Your humble servant,
Praveen Chandran
