All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda!!
All glories unto Your Divine Grace!!

Happy Vyāsa-pūjā Celebration, Dear Gurudeva!!

Śrīla Gurudeva,

My spiritual path diverged, with dreams of flight,
I stand before you, a stray soul,
With seeking heart, for your steering light—
For in your eyes I see, a chance remains.

As my failure looms, on obscure trails,
I stand before you, a broken soul,
Asking to mend my cracks, not to ease the pains—
For in your eyes, I see a chance remains.

Forgive my choice, wrong and bold,
I stand before you, a bewildered soul,
Longing for love, to strengthen my faith—
For in your eyes, I see a chance remains.

With rolling tears and heavy heart,
I stand before you, a distressed soul,
Offering my broken self, pleading to be made whole—
For in your eyes, I see a chance remains.

For in your eyes, I see a chance—
A hope of comfort, a hope of enlightenment,
A hope of healing, and a hope of peace,
To let the magic start—another hopeful journey...
Another journey Back Home, back to Godhead.

We are eternally indebted to Śrīla Prabhupāda and Kṛṣṇa for connecting us to you and allowing us to be your spiritual son, daughter, and grandson.

We, the most insignificant, insincere, sinful, ignorant, egoistic, corrupted, ill-feeling souls, do not really know what is good or bad, what to accept or to reject, when to be stubborn or when to be flexible. We bow to your lotus feet and honestly plead for your causeless mercy.

Please help us downtrodden children to become pure, qualified disciples, so that we always remember that we are the insignificant servants of the servant of the Supreme Lord, and may we be able to fix our minds on Gaurāṅga’s lotus feet. Also, please guide us fallen souls to come into the light and engage in **distributing your bliss—**the bliss of harināma-saṅkīrtana.

At this time, we beg for your mercy so that we can be more regular, focused, and sincere in our chanting, in our service, and in the vows we have taken. You are so merciful that even the most sinful and offensive soul can be purified by your glance.

Please forgive us for all the known and unknown offenses we have committed.

Your most insignificant servants,
