My dear Guru Mahārāja,

I offer my most respectful and humble obeisances at the dust of your lotus feet. All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda, and all glories to your loving divine grace.

All glories to your appearance day, Guru Mahārāja!

On this auspicious day of your divine descent into this world, the heart blossoms with thoughts of gratitude to your lotus feet.

I feel so fortunate to have received your causeless mercy, even though I am so fallen. Your blessings keep me going in Kṛṣṇa consciousness.

Thank you for allowing me to have your association and to serve you in the UK. Your lectures, instructions, and suggestions have been my main guide during difficult times—especially in facilitating Bhakti-vṛkṣa and rendering other services. There were times when I lacked physical association and opportunities for service, particularly after moving to India. Yet, listening to your lectures and engaging in online services and preaching has kept me alive in Kṛṣṇa consciousness.

I feel truly fortunate to have met you and my mentors, His Grace Viśāla Gaurāṅga Prabhu and His Grace Amala Māñjarī Mātājī. Without your blessings, it would have been very difficult to remain steady in spiritual life. Please bless me so that I may render more and more service, facilitate Bhakti-vṛkṣas, and bring new souls to your lotus feet. Please empower me to serve you and preach your glories.

I pray to Lord Narasiṁha-deva for your protection and well-being.

I pray that I can be of any service to you and to Śrīla Prabhupāda.

I pray to remain a speck of dust at your lotus feet eternally.

Your servant,
Ramakanai Māthureśa Dāsa
