Navanīta-taskara Kṛṣṇa Dāsa (Kṛṣṇa Kathā Deśa - Middle East)

nama oṁ viṣṇu-pādāya Kṛṣṇa-preṣṭhāya bhū-tale śrīmate jayapatāka svāmin iti nāmine nama ācaryapādāya nitāi-kṛpā-pradāyine gaura-kathā-dhāma-dāya nagara-grāma-tāriṇe

Hare Kṛṣṇa Guru Mahārāja,

Please accept my respectful obeisances to your lotus feet.

All glories to your appearance day, our beloved Guru Mahārāja.

I, your spiritual son, Navanīta Taskara Kṛṣṇa Dāsa, pray to Lord Śrī Rādhā Mādhava and Nṛsiṁhadeva for your good health. On this auspicious day, I pray to Lord Dhanvantari for your long and healthy life. Guru Mahārāja, because of your mercy and blessings, I am able to perform some devotional service.

Guru Mahārāja, I am preaching to bachelor camp devotees in small groups following the Bhakti-vṛkṣa pattern, conducting weekly sessions on Śrīmad Bhagavad-gītā and Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam. I always feel that whatever sevā I am able to perform is all because of your mercy. You are patita-pāvana, and I am highly grateful to Lord Kṛṣṇa and my śikṣā-guru who has shown me the path to attain a spiritual father like you. You and your instructions are everything for me. I feel blissful when I serve the devotees in the Bhakti-vṛkṣa groups. Some of them are now preparing to take shelter at your lotus feet. Praying for all of them—please bless them so they can come closer to Kṛṣṇa. Now we have started reading Śrīla Prabhupāda’s small books through a diploma course, and from our group, 50 devotees have registered and have started seriously reading the books. I am a deeply fallen soul, but our beloved Guru Mahārāja, you are patita-pāvana. Please bless me and shower your mercy so that I can serve Śrīla Prabhupāda’s mission and serve you.

Gurudeva, you have always set the highest example in practicing and following the orders of your Gurudeva. Please bless me so that I can follow your instructions, improve my daily sādhana, and develop Kṛṣṇa-prema in my heart.

I am a fallen soul, making many mistakes, yet your mercy and blessings still flow to me.

Although you have many bodily health issues, you are still visiting many places where Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu traveled and are installing the Lotus Feet of the Lord.

It is all your mercy that I am able to write these words. Without you and your guidance, my life is tasteless.

On your auspicious appearance day, I pray once more to the Lord for your good health and long life. Seeking your mercy so that I can spread Lord Caitanya’s mission to many more souls, and in doing so, slowly uplift myself from my fallen condition.

Your humble servant,

Navanīta Taskara Kṛṣṇa Dāsa
