Pujya Gurudeva, Dandavāt Praṇāms.
Gurudev, you are the perfect example of spiritual walk the talk, and I am confident that you, being from the Paramparā and the most merciful, will bestow upon me, the most fallen, all the required blessings to attain Back to Godhead. On the 10th of April, 2024, I was eagerly waiting to receive dīkṣā from Your Holiness, but the Lord had other plans, and I received dīkṣā from another Guru on your behalf at Śrī Vṛndāvana Dhāma.
Please bless me to inculcate Your Holiness' qualities in the execution of my daily sādhanā. Your Holiness, as the torchbearer of Śrīla Prabhupāda’s mission, ISKCON is touching new heights in terms of spiritualism and spreading Kṛṣṇa Consciousness all around the world. Despite the concerns about prevailing health conditions, your concrete determination to serve Your Guru Mahārāja has had a profound impact on many devotees, inspiring them to implement similar determination towards their own Gurus.
Guru Mahārāja, your qualities are unlimited, and your actions echo your compassion towards humanity. Please accept my humble obeisances.
Dandavāt Praṇāms
Hare Kṛṣṇa, Hare Kṛṣṇa,
Kṛṣṇa Kṛṣṇa, Hare Hare,
Hare Rāma, Hare Rāma,
Rāma Rāma, Hare Hare.
