Hare Kṛṣṇa
Dāṇḍavāt praṇāma, Guru Mahārāja.
Patita-pāvana Guru Mahārāja kī jaya!
I consider myself extremely fortunate to have His Holiness Jayapatākā Swāmī Mahārāja as my spiritual master. It is solely due to your blessings that I was accepted as your disciple. I was living in darkness, but with your divine presence in my life, I experienced a profound transformation and discovered the true purpose of life.
As I learned more about Guru Mahārāja, reading and hearing about your glorious pastimes and teachings, I felt immense joy. By the grace of Kṛṣṇa, I was blessed to become your disciple. Learning about Guru Mahārāja’s divine qualities always inspires and uplifts us. Your exemplary life teaches us how to dedicate ourselves to our spiritual master.
We learn from Guru Mahārāja how a disciple should serve their guru, just as you have demonstrated unwavering devotion to your spiritual master, Śrīla Prabhupāda. Even today, Guru Mahārāja continues to serve Śrīla Prabhupāda and follows his instructions with utmost sincerity. Despite physical challenges, Guru Mahārāja remains tirelessly committed to our spiritual upliftment, constantly inspiring us with boundless enthusiasm.
Currently, Guru Mahārāja is engaged in the construction of Śrī Māyāpur Candrodaya Mandira and the world’s first Temple of the Vedic Planetarium (TOVP). Guru Mahārāja is an eternal associate of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu, possessing extraordinary and divine qualities. We are truly blessed and fortunate to be his disciples.
I lack the qualifications and the proper words to adequately glorify Guru Mahārāja. Guru Mahārāja, I humbly bow at your lotus feet and beg for your forgiveness. At the time of dīkṣā (initiation), I made a vow to assist in your mission and preaching efforts. Though I am a fallen soul and unable to render significant service, I pray for your blessings so that I may sincerely strive to fulfill my vow in the future.
I pray to Lord Kṛṣṇa to keep you healthy and engaged in Śrīla Prabhupāda’s mission, uplifting fallen souls like me.
Your humble servant,
Dīnapāvana-nandaputra Dāsa
