Avatārī Gaurāṅga Dāsa (Śyāma Deśa - Middle East)

Hare Kṛṣṇa Guru Mahārāja,

Please accept my respectful obeisances unto your divine lotus feet.

Śrīla Gurudeva, I have realized that my days are being wasted like that only, and I am moving close to the end of my life. So please bless me so that I can do some soulful sevā in this life for your pleasure, and you may be pleased by that.

Śrīla Gurudeva, though I am not at all qualified, I conduct Bhagavad-gītā/Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam class daily on Zoom as per the instruction of our śikṣā-guru, H.G. Hemango Caitanya Prabhuji. But the attendance in the class is only one or two devotees—my relatives and aged people only. I tried to correct the situation, but to no avail. I don’t know how to put it, but it is for sure, Śrīla Gurudeva, that if you are happy and if you desire, I can continue this Bhagavad-gītā/Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam class for my whole life, even if there is not a single devotee in the class.

They say it is lip service only, and it will not take you anywhere. Guru Mahārāja, really I fear that this may be lip service only, so I am not able to please you or do anything good as per your wish.

Śrīla Gurudeva, I try to correct this "lip service" point also and try to do the service soulfully. Now, it is up to you, Śrīla Gurudeva, to encourage me or otherwise. I am fully dependent on you and look up to you with tears in my eyes, so that I may please you someday and you become happy with my sevā.

I have caught hold of your caraṇa-padma with both my hands very tightly and will not leave them until you accept me as your own, get me connected with you, and grant me your soulful sevā, life after life, Śrīla Gurudeva.

Due to a very difficult job profile and job hours, Śrīla Gurudeva, I try very hard to pick up and complete my chanting for your pleasure, but fail miserably. Śrīla Gurudeva, please give me strength and intelligence so that I complete my sixteen rounds quota enthusiastically, daily, without fail, and try to please you.

śakti-buddhi-hīna, āmi ati dīna,
koro more ātma-sātha

Śrīla Gurudeva, my humble request is that despite all these bad qualities and offenses, please don’t abandon me. Please don’t reject me. I am confident that by your grace, I can overcome all these anarthas and come out victorious in your service, and thereby please Your Good Self.

Guru Mahārāja, by your mercy and the enthusiasm coming from you and our śikṣā-guru H.G. Hemango Caitanya Prabhu from Kharghar, I am able to offer a little sevā unto your divine lotus feet for your pleasure only, as below:


1. "Śrīla Prabhupāda Book Reading" in Hindi on Zoom
Before going to bed from 9:45 p.m. to 10:05 p.m., since the last three years, with the help of other devotees such as Sona Chaurāsiyā Māta-jī from Kolkata and Poonam Māta-jī from Dubai. We have completed many books and feel very joyful by the remembrance of Śrīla Prabhupāda, Your Good Self, and our śikṣā-guru H.G. Hemango Caitanya Prabhuji.
Please bless me that I may keep reading Śrīla Prabhupāda’s books till my last breath and motivate other devotees throughout the world to read Śrīla Prabhupāda’s books aloud for the pleasure of Vaiṣṇavas and for their own purification.
I pray that this may become a worldwide program available to all before going to bed.


2. Bhagavad-gītā/Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam Class in Marathi on Zoom
I have been conducting this since more than the last four years. I have explained the situation in the class in paragraphs 2–3 above. Please have kṛpā on these Marathi class-joining devotees, so that they become fixed in their devotion unto your divine lotus feet.


3. Monthly Book Sponsorship for JSSS Mumbai
We collect book sponsorship amount on the first Ekādaśī of every month and send this lakṣmī to H.H. Bhakti Vijay Bhāgavat Swami Mahārāja in Māyāpur for distribution of these books by the saṅkīrtana department in Māyāpur, for your pleasure only.


Guru Mahārāja, I humbly request you to please grant me strength, intelligence, and devotion, so that I can get up early in the morning and complete my rounds during brahma-muhūrta itself, for your pleasure.

Guru Mahārāja, by material standards, by your mercy only, I have received more than what I deserve, and so I am fully satisfied.
Please accept my physical daughter Akṣatā and son Ojas as your own and grant them devotion unto your lotus feet.

Guru Mahārāja, our śikṣā-guru and your dear disciple, H.G. Hemango Caitanya Prabhuji, is a wonderful Vaiṣṇava and a nice preacher. I humbly beg unto your divine lotus feet to please grant all his wishes and bless him also.

Guru Mahārāja, please bless me so that I can follow your instructions without any deviation and from the core of my heart, and that I can remember you every moment of my life. Not a single moment of my life should be devoid of your remembrance, Śrīla Gurudeva.

My only aspiration is to serve you birth after birth for your pleasure only, with no other motive whatsoever.


Your insignificant son,
Avatārī Gaurāṅga Dāsa
