nama oṁ viṣṇu-pādāya kṛṣṇa-preṣṭhāya bhū-tale
śrīmate jayapatāka svāmin iti nāmine
nama ācāryapādāya nitāi-kṛpā-pradāyine
gaura-kathā-dhāma-dāya nagara-grāma-tāriṇe
Hare Kṛṣṇa. Dandavat-praṇāma.
Please accept my humble obeisances, Guru Mahārāja.
All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda.
Nitāi! Gaurāṅga!
My dear Guru Mahārāja,
I have no qualification nor any capability to glorify you. But for the happiness of Guru and Gaurāṅga, and for my own purification, I am trying to say something. And for that, I am totally dependent on your mercy.
Guru Mahārāja, I am the biggest rascal who tries to do things on my own, but without your mercy I am helpless. Just as Nityānanda Prabhu is giving mercy to everyone, you are distributing Nitāi-Gaurāṅga’s mercy to everyone.
Despite so many challenges in your life, you never complain to anyone. Rather, you are ever enthusiastic, caring, and constantly preaching to everyone in every moment of your time—causelessly—and all to fulfill your Guru Mahārāja’s order. You are karuṇā-sindhu, and your qualities are unlimited.
Guru Mahārāja, you have saved me from my spiritual death, and even my material life has been saved by your mercy.
Please bless me so that I can be a humble servant of your servants, and that one day I may be able to serve them.
Please forgive me.
Your very insignificant humble servant,
Navin Kumar Maurya
