Hare Kṛṣṇa, Guru Mahārāja,
Please accept my respectful obeisances at Your divine lotus feet. All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda! All glories to Your Divine Grace!

Your Holiness has kindly accepted an insignificant person like me as Your disciple, which reflects Your boundless kindness and compassion.
Guru Mahārāja, Your love for Caitanya Mahāprabhu is immense, but I am devoid of this same love. You regularly read Śrīla Prabhupāda’s books and deliver Caitanya-līlā classes daily, and I yearn to develop this devotion by the mercy of Your lotus feet. Please bless me so that I too may develop a deep love for Caitanya Mahāprabhu and read His teachings regularly.
Your service to Their Lordships, Śrīla Prabhupāda, and the devotees is unparalleled, and Your devotee care is a constant source of inspiration. Although I am far from You physically, I find solace whenever I think of You or listen to Your discourses. It brings peace to my heart, reminding me that I am never truly alone, as You are always with me.
I serve in ISKCON Ujjain, and here, in the medical department, I strive to serve others. Please bless me so that I may serve devotees with love, compassion, and efficiency, so I can bring them happiness and comfort.
Guru Mahārāja, You possess infinite virtues and glory. No matter how much we praise You, Your glory remains endless, just as the ocean never runs dry, no matter how much water is drawn from it. Please bless me so that even a drop of Your divine qualities may manifest in my life, making it truly blessed.
O Guru Mahārāja, bless me with the strength to chant 16 rounds of japa daily, to follow the four regulative principles, and to consistently study the Bhagavad-gītā, Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, and other transcendental literature. I also seek Your blessings to understand their teachings deeply, so I can incorporate them into my life—always thinking of God and You—and thus avoid suffering in this material world.
Despite Your own apparent health challenges, You continue to serve selflessly. Your daily evening Caitanya-līlā class inspires me a lot. Guru Mahārāja, I live far away and sometimes miss Your evening classes. I try my best, but it’s not always possible. Please bless me that I may attend and hear Your teachings daily, so I can always remain connected with You.
Your immense grace and service to the devotees are evident to all. Please forgive me for all offenses I have committed at Your lotus feet, knowingly and unknowingly. Bless me that I may stop committing offenses again and again, and that I may always serve God and the devotees with a pure heart, coming fully under Your shelter.
Your servant,
Amiya Sindhu Gaurāṅga Dāsa (Dīkṣā)
