Hare Kṛṣhṇa

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

All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda
All glories, all glories to you, dear Guru Mahārāja

Please accept my respectful praṇāmas at your lotus feet, dear Guru Mahārāja.
This is your servant and daughter.

Dear Guru Mahārāja,
Wishing you a very happy Appearance Day.
Happy and most auspicious 76th Vyāsa Pūjā Day to Your Grace and to me also.

Dear Guru Mahārāja,
You have unconditionally assisted Śrīla Prabhupāda in His Divine service to humanity. You are such a shining jewel in the necklace of Śrīla Prabhupāda's beloved true followers.
Dear Guru Mahārāja,
You have renounced the pleasure of material opulence and prestige. You became one of the pioneers of Śrīla Prabhupāda's mission, including the Mayāpur Candrodaya Mandir and the Temple of Vedic Planetarium.
Dear Guru Mahārāja,
You are not only my spiritual master but the spiritual master of the whole Navadvīpa-dhāma.
Dear Guru Mahārāja,
You have established and developed so many new methods of preaching, including how to successfully conduct Bhakti-vṛkṣa with intensive personal care for each devotee.
Dear Guru Mahārāja,
Even in your most fragile health and illnesses, you are always fixed in Śrīla Prabhupāda's mission of preaching. You have always unconditionally showered your mercy on everyone.

Dear Guru Mahārāja,
Your contribution to the ISKCON movement is priceless. Your glories are unlimited.
Dear Guru Mahārāja,
I bow down to the beautiful lotus feet of Yours, by whose causeless mercy I have obtained the spiritual holy name, the divine mahā-mantra.

A true duty of a disciple is to repay the debt to his spiritual master by offering his true spirit, his wealth, as well as his life.
So, dear Guru Mahārāja, you are a true exemplary disciple by your complete surrender and dedication to Śrīla Prabhupāda's instructions.

Dear Guru Mahārāja,
You are the Commander-in-Chief of Lord Caitanya, who spreads Kṛṣhṇa Consciousness in every village and every town.
Dear Guru Mahārāja,
Your hard work, constant preaching, guiding devotees, creating and managing a worldwide organization, attending meetings, inspiring devotees to take up Kṛṣhṇa Consciousness deeply, traveling with fragile health nonstop, taking personal care for each disciple, and many more things that no ordinary person can imagine doing—
It is inconceivable and beyond imagination.

Just like the Supreme Lord cannot be understood by material senses, we cannot understand Your Divine Grace by material mind or sense. It’s only when we get purified that we can understand You.

With all these little experiences, I came to understand that I cannot repay Your debt in any of my lifetimes, but I can always endeavor to follow Your instructions sincerely and seriously. Just like the glories of Lord Kṛṣhṇa are unlimited,
My dearest spiritual master, Your glories are also unlimited.

On this most auspicious day of the 76th Vyāsa Pūjā Day celebration, I humbly beg for Your causeless mercy to follow Your instructions sincerely and seriously, with utsāha (enthusiasm), niścayat (determination), and dhairayat (patience), to render service at Your beautiful lotus feet for the pleasure of Your Divine Grace.

Please bless this fallen disciple of Yours.

I beg for Your forgiveness and hope that, with Your blessings, I can preach to the best of my capacity, follow Your instructions sincerely, and advance in my bhakti, remaining in Kṛṣhṇa Consciousness forever.

Thank you, my dearest spiritual master.
Thank you for accepting me.
Thank you for saving me.
Dear Guru Mahārāja, Your mercy is an immense feeling of security and nourishment.
I am just an insignificant disciple under Your Divine Grace and await Your causeless mercy.
Without You, dear Guru Mahārāja, I could have gone into the darkest region of ignorance to suffer perpetually, but You are so kind to save this fallen soul.

Lots and lots of gratitude to You, my dear Guru Mahārāja.
All glories, all glories to You, my eternal father.

I love you.

Your servant and daughter,

Kairava Candrikā Devī Dāsī
