Hare Kṛṣṇa, Guru Mahārāja!
All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda!
All glories to all Vaiṣṇavas!
śrī-guru-caraṇa-padma, kevala-bhakati-sadma,
bando mui sāvadhāna mate
jāhāra prasāde bhāi, e bhava to’riyā jāi,
kṛṣṇa-prāpti haya jāhā ha’te
Dear Guru Mahārāja,
By your divine guidance and mercy, I have come closer to Kṛṣṇa. Your teachings inspire me to serve with sincerity and devotion. I pray for the strength to follow your instructions and serve ISKCON’s mission with dedication. Please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet.
I am here in Kṛṣṇa-kathā Deśa, engaged in some small services assigned by my śikṣā-gurus, under the guidance of HG Harikīrtana Rañjana Dāsa Prabhu and HG Rasa Sāgara Rāma Dāsa Prabhu.
Please bless me so that I may increase my chanting and engage more in Kṛṣṇa-kathā Deśa activities.
On this auspicious occasion of your Vyāsa-pūjā, I sincerely pray to Śrī Śrī Rādhā-Kṛṣṇa, Jagannātha, Baladeva, Subhadrā, and Narasiṁha-deva for your good health and long life so that you may continue to shower your causeless mercy upon more and more fallen souls like me.
I humbly beg for your blessings so that I may engage in your service at your divine lotus feet forever.
Your insignificant servant,
Balamurugan Raju
Kṛṣṇa-kathā Deśa
