Hare Kṛṣṇa, Dear Gurumahārāja,
Please accept my respectful obeisances at your divine lotus feet.
All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda!
All glories to Your Divine Grace!
Thank you for inspiring me in everyday devotional service. I constantly seek your mercy and pray for your eternal shelter.
I have heard that if we are truly fortunate, we may witness a Vaiṣṇava living and breathing the teachings of the ācāryas. You, dear Gurumahārāja, are that exalted devotee. Your life is Kṛṣṇa's message—revealing how a pure devotee behaves at every moment, not merely when convenient.
It is difficult for ordinary people to bear even small cuts and discomforts, yet you are enduring intense physical suffering—not for your own karma, but for the upliftment of countless fallen strangers. Your mere darśana is the sāra of the Bhāgavatam—Kṛṣṇa acting through His intimate devotee for a herculean mission.
Gurumahārāja, your presence alone inspires the pursuit of pure devotion.
gaṅgāra paraśa hoile paścate pāvan
darśane pavitra koro—ei tomāra guṇa
Still, this ungrateful soul cannot shed tears for Kṛṣṇa. My heart is like stone. No offering of gratitude could ever be enough. You know how unworthy we are, yet you never care for qualifications. You came to make the impossible easy. As you often say, “Just chant Gaurāṅga-Nityānanda.” You have brought Nityānanda Prabhu’s mercy free of cost, and made it accessible even to those furthest away.
The internet was once considered a curse of Kali-yuga—but through your vānī, it has become a vessel for Gaurāṅga’s mercy.
Thank you for your daily class. It is an anchor for daily hearing and association. Hearing from a pure devotee is our only hope. Even your general instructions in class feel profoundly personal. Only Kṛṣṇa and His true representative can touch everyone’s heart all at once.
Everything that inspires is a blessing from you. I pray that I may always fear losing your association. You are my only hope.
Thank you, dear Gurumahārāja. Thank you for your appearance in this world. It pains the heart to even imagine the suffering you bear—for me and for all others. I beg to remain eternally at your lotus feet, O Vaiṣṇava Ṭhākura, Nityānanda’s most special servant.
Hare Kṛṣṇa
Your insignificant servant,
