Hare Kṛṣṇa, My dear Gurudevaa,
Please accept my humble respectful obeisances to your lotus feet.
All glories to Gurudeva and Gaurāṅga . All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda .
On this Vyāsa-pūjā day I am praying their Lordships Śrī Śrī Śrī Jagannātha, Baladeva, Subhadrā devī and Śrī Narasiṁhadeva and Gaura Nitāi to keep you always in good health. I hereby submit my heartfelt glorifications to your lotus feet on this appearance day of yours. Please accept and bless me Guru Mahārāja. Since you are a pure devotee of Supreme Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa all good qualities are already manifested in you, they are wonderful and unlimited. However, I am glorifying you with few things (realizations) only here.
Once I asked Guru Mahārāja in question and answer session, I could not understand what exactly the meaning of surrender is. You said follow Bhagavad gītā śloka man-manā bhava mad-bhakto mad-yājī māṁ namaskuru, that is called surrender. That cleared my doubt . In another occasion I was asking repeatedly the same questions, You said simply you pray to Śrī Jagannātha He will make you understand, If you chant Hare Kṛṣṇa offenselessly that will give you everything which gave me clear understanding of things as they are. After that, my asking questions become reduced. By your vapu sevā I am being guided and I am satisfied and content with doing devotional service to their Lordships Jagannātha, Baladeva,and Subhadrā devī. Even in your very poor health condition (organ transplantation) you made all of us to chant and pray to their Lordships who answered our prayers. All because of your mercy and blessings to us we could chant and pray. Your instructions through Facebook etc., gives us more realizations in execution of our devotional services to Supreme Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa.
Guru deva. I once again pray to Their Lord ships for your speedy recovery of health so that your instructions and guidance will continue for us and bring furthermore into Kṛṣṇa consciousness. Gurudeva please forgive me for the offences made if any knowingly or un knowingly(Guru mahārāja you told that GURU ONLY will take care of offences if one sincerely pray and worship him and follow his instructions} .Guru deva I pray for your mercy and blessings in order to improve my devotional service and chanting to their LORDSHIPS .JAYA Guru maharaj, 70th Vyāsa-pūjā Mahotsava ki jaya. All glories to Guru and Gaurāṅga, Jagannather, Baladeva, Subhadrā,and Narasiṁhadeva.
