My dear spiritual father,
Please accept my humble prostrated obeisances at your lotus feet. All glories to your auspicious 76th appearance day! All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda!
Hare Kṛṣṇa Guru Mahārāja,
I am so blessed and fortunate to be at your lotus feet and in the family of Śrīla Prabhupāda.
By your mercy, Guru Mahārāja, I am fortunate to offer this small token of gratitude as a humble flower in the garland of offerings at your glorious 76th appearance day. Under the influence of the three modes of material nature, how can I properly glorify your transcendental personality in suitable words? Kindly forgive me if there are any mistakes in this offering which are not pleasing to you.
Guru Mahārāja, by your divine presence and mercy, from the Mayapur Lotus Building to the Lotus Resort in Malaysia, you bring together devotee families in loving association, enlivening hearts with joy and devotion. By your divine blessings, the JPS family cares for one another’s welfare and works together to expand the saṅkīrtana movement without limit, in service to the mission of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu. There are no words to express the immense gift you have given us—the path of devotional service.
By your blessings, I chant my sixteen rounds every day and follow all the regulative principles I have promised you.
Guru Mahārāja, you are the storehouse of Lord Caitanya’s unfathomable mercy, distributing the priceless jewel of Kṛṣṇa-prema freely and without discrimination.
Guru Mahārāja, you live for the well-being of others. I offer my humble obeisances again and again. Please shower your blessings upon me so that I may attain pure love for the Lord and share the joy of pure bhakti with others.
By your practical example—engaging 24 hours in various devotional services and guiding ISKCON's worldwide mission for so many years—you have become an unparalleled leader and eternal inspiration.
Despite all odds, you have always served others with compassion and touched my heart deeply.
You have taught us how to behave within and outside the Vaiṣṇava community, and how to honor the Founder-Ācārya, His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedānta Swami Śrīla Prabhupāda. By your example, I am always encouraged to reflect on and improve my behavior to please you. Guru Mahārāja, please shower your blessings upon me so that I may act in a similar manner in all circumstances.
Your instructions and divine revelations reach us regularly—through fortnightly magazines, monthly messages in my Gmail and Yahoo, as well as through WhatsApp groups, JPS Vāṇī, Telegram, the JPS App, and other media. I am immensely grateful for this divine connection.
I become overjoyed when I hear your glories from other Vaiṣṇavas and cannot hold back tears when I hear of your boundless care and compassion for others.
I often chant the Dhanvantari-mantra for your good health.
Dear Guru Mahārāja, my heartfelt prayers are offered to Śrī Lakṣmī-Nṛsiṁha, Śrī Śrī Rādhā-Mādhava and the Aṣṭa-sakhīs, Pañca-tattva, and Śrīla Prabhupāda—to protect you and cure all bodily ailments so that you may continue to unite all Vaiṣṇava sampradāyas and fulfill the deepest desire of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu.
Your sincere eternal son,
Rādhikāpati Kṛṣṇadāsa
