Hare Kṛṣṇa, Guru Mahārāja.
Dāṇḍavat-praṇāma. Please accept my most respectful obeisances at your lotus feet. All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda.

On this auspicious day of your 76th Vyāsa-pūjā, I sincerely pray to Their Lordships for your good health. It is my great fortune and blessing to have received dīkṣā from you. I eternally thank Lord Kṛṣṇa for His boundless mercy upon this fallen soul by giving me you as my spiritual master.
Dear Guru Mahārāja, I am eternally indebted to you for your mercy and for leading by example—showing us how to practice devotion even in the most difficult times, without complaint. Your continuous enthusiasm in pursuing śāstric degrees has truly inspired me to follow in your footsteps and strive to fulfill your desire that your disciples also acquire such qualifications.
Your personal care and affection are evident in every interaction. I have observed in your evening classes on YouTube how attentively you listen to every disciple—asking your servant to read out the comments, and personally responding to each one. You are always approachable, addressing our concerns with deep compassion and making yourself accessible through every form of communication. I thank you from the core of my heart for your inspiration in all aspects of devotion.
I sincerely beg your forgiveness for any offenses I may have committed—knowingly or unknowingly—at your lotus feet. I am earnestly striving to follow your instructions: chanting sixteen rounds daily, adhering to the four regulative principles, and conducting regular satsanga programs to spread Kṛṣṇa consciousness.
Please bless me so that I may always remain steadfast in Kṛṣṇa consciousness and serve you in fulfilling your promises to His Divine Grace Śrīla Prabhupāda.
Your humble servant,
Vrajendra Kumāra Dāsa
