All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda!
All glories to you, Guru Mahārāja!

Beloved Guru Mahārāja,

Please accept our humble obeisances unto your lotus feet.
All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda!

Dear Gurudeva, on this auspicious day of your Vyāsa-pūjā, we have the opportunity to honor and glorify you.
The śāstras remind us how important it is to glorify the spiritual master.

Guru Mahārāja, we are aware that since you met your spiritual master, Śrīla Prabhupāda, you have dedicated everything—your time, words, mind, and body—to his service.
Therefore, you have taught us how important it is to dedicate oneself to the service of the spiritual master.

Over the years, you have taught us by your example—the determination and enthusiasm with which you serve Śrīla Prabhupāda.
You have taught us how important it is to preach, to give Kṛṣṇa consciousness to everyone, and to care for devotees in various health conditions.

However, your presence makes the disciples feel safe and protected by Caitanya Mahāprabhu.
The material energy is always present among us, but your constant presence dissolves this material knot and elevates us beyond it.

Dear Guru Mahārāja, we are always present with you, even from afar.
We offer, together with other godbrothers, nāma-haṭṭa programs in family homes during the year and we intensify the programs during the month of Dāmodara.

We hope to increase these programs in family homes and, therefore, to always serve you in any condition we find ourselves in.
Our only desire is to serve the mission of Śrīla Prabhupāda.

We pray to Śrī Nṛsiṁhadeva, Śrī Śrī Rādhā-Mādhava, Śrī Pañca-tattva, and Hanumān-jī for your health and protection.

Your servants,
Aśokanirāi devī dāsī, Gopanandinī devī dāsī, and Dulal Gaurā (son)
(Rome, Italy Yātrā)
