I am truly fortunate that, by your mercy, I have been blessed with such a kind and generous spiritual master like you. I am deeply grateful to you for accepting me as your disciple. I know you are always watching over us. Please, never take me away from your sight and your divine lotus feet.
We are incredibly fortunate that Kṛṣṇa has chosen you to be our Guru. I am praying to Lord Kṛṣṇa to always keep you in good health and continue to bless you with a long life.
On this auspicious occasion of your 76th Vyāsa-pūjā, I offer my deepest gratitude and humble obeisances at your lotus feet, my beloved Guru Mahārāja. May your divine blessings continue to guide me on my spiritual journey.

All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda!
All glories to Śrīla Gurudeva!
