Ṛṣabha Kṛṣṇa Dāsa ( - India)

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

Hare Kṛṣṇa, dear Guru Mahārāja,

Please accept my humble obeisances.
All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda.
All glories to your divine service and causeless mercy.

It was for the very first time that I saw you online on the ISKCON Patna YouTube channel and received your darśana. I was immediately drawn to you. I began listening to your glories—through Instagram reels, YouTube lectures by your godbrothers and godsisters, and also through His Grace Amṛndra Prabhu's lectures.

Soon, I was completely convinced—I must take initiation from you. I tried to feel, through your life, your unwavering serving mood toward Śrīla Prabhupāda, and your tireless efforts to fulfill his dream. Hearing about your dedication, I firmly decided to enter the paramparā through you. I aspired to be your spiritual son, and I was sheltered in 2023 at ISKCON East of Kailash.

Guru Mahārāja, it is my earnest prayer: please accept me as your son and guide me eternally to serve the paramparā and to chant the pure holy name.

To be honest, I don't fully understand how—but many times, even in dreams, you have guided me, loved me, and given me opportunities to serve you. I will remain in eternal debt for your affection—birth after birth.

I humbly beg for your blessings and mercy:

  • Please never leave me alone, or I will surely be destroyed by Māyā.

  • Please keep your merciful glance upon me always.

  • Please help me grow in spiritual life.

  • Please forgive me for whatever offenses I may have committed toward you or any Vaiṣṇava.

You are my spiritual father. And just as a child runs to his father in repentance, I have come to you. Please kindly forgive me, protect me, and bless me with the strength to serve you and Śrīla Prabhupāda.

Your aspiring disciple,
R̥ṣabha Kṛṣṇa dāsa
