Hare Kṛṣṇa, Guru Mahārāja,
Please accept my most humble obeisances unto your lotus feet! All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda! All glories to Guru and Gaurāṅga!
Guru Mahārāja, your life is a brilliant testament to the power of pure devotional service. Your unwavering dedication, boundless compassion, and simplicity inspire countless souls, including myself!
Despite challenges—including your physical condition after the stroke—you never wavered in your service. Even from the hospital bed, you continued preaching, uplifting doctors, nurses, and everyone around you. This exemplifies your transcendental vision—seeing every moment as an opportunity to serve Śrī Guru and Gaurāṅga, beyond the limitations of the body!
Your personal sādhana, especially your daily reading of Śrī Caitanya-caritāmṛta before resting, is a powerful example. It teaches us to end our day in complete remembrance of Kṛṣṇa, immersing ourselves in the sweet pastimes of Mahāprabhu. Your every action inspires us to follow in your divine footsteps!
On this most auspicious occasion of your Vyāsa-pūjā, I offer my heartfelt prayers: jogyatā-vicāre, kichu nāhi pāi, tomāra karuṇā sāra.
I have no qualification, yet by your causeless mercy, I pray to Śrīla Prabhupāda, the guru-paramparā, and Śrī Śrī Rādhā-Kṛṣṇa—to continually empower you to transform countless lives through your divine service!
At your lotus feet, I humbly seek your blessings for myself, my family, my friends and relatives, and unto the whole universe—vasudeva-kuṭumbakam!
Your humble servant,
dāsānu dāsa
