Hare Kṛṣṇa, dear Guru Mahārāja,
Please accept my humble obeisances unto your lotus feet.
All glories to your divine appearance day! All glories to His Divine Grace Śrīla Prabhupāda!
Dear Guru Mahārāja, we all know that you are the most dear, loving disciple of Śrīla Prabhupāda,
and you have dedicated your life, soul, and everything to the preaching movement of Śrīla Prabhupāda.
Last time I went to Māyāpur for your 75th Vyāsa-pūjā, you were not physically present due to your critical health condition.
But even then, I could feel that although you were not physically present in Māyāpur, you were also present eternally,
because Māyāpur is your life and soul. You are also an eternal associate of Śrī Nityānanda Mahāprabhu.
You have invested your days and nights in developing Śrīdhāma Māyāpur without caring for yourself,
just to serve Śrīla Prabhupāda and also his Guru Mahārāja, Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura Mahārāja.
You have established the lotus feet of Lord Caitanya in every place.
We are so fortunate to receive your association, and you constantly shower your mercy upon us, the fallen souls.
Last time I prayed, “Please accept me, Guru Mahārāja, as an insignificant servant at your lotus feet,”
and Guru Mahārāja, you are so merciful that you accepted this fallen soul on Śiva-rātri, 27 February 2025.
I have prayed to Śrī Śrī Rādhā-Mādhava, Śrī Pañca-tattva, and Śrī Prahlāda-Nṛsiṁha
to bestow upon you immense strength, good health, and a very long life.
Please bless me so that I may offer sincere service—
that I may not only be your servant in name,
but also become a true participant in the mission of Śrīla Prabhupāda.
And I know this is only possible by your mercy—
you, the merciful manifestation of Kṛṣṇa.
Your spiritual son,
Āśeṣānanda Vrajeśa Dāsa
