Dear Guru Maharaja,

Hare Krsna! Please accept our most humble obeisances at the dust of the lotus feet of Your Divine Grace. All glories to His Divine Grace Srila Prabhupada.

On this most auspicious occasion of your Vyasa-puja day, we feel very fortunate to have an opportunity to humbly offer our gratitude and express a few words for your glorification.

Dear Guru Maharaja, we meditate upon your glory – you compassionately take innumerable anxieties on our behalf and continuously showers drops of mercy upon us. You are always kind, loving and spiritual. We have been blessed to receive your communications, access to your lectures, digests, weekly instructions and many special occasional topics. It has been a boon and undoubtedly blissful for us to be attracted to your lotus feet and be guided by you and your saintly representative, His Grace ‘Sir,’ upon whom we rely and deeply meditate. You, being a bona fide representative of the Supreme Lord Sri Krsna, have given us the transcendental knowledge which is a boat to help us cross over the ocean of material miseries. We deeply realize that we must use all our resources – body, energy, wealth, intelligence, words, and life – in glorifying and serving Your Holiness and Lord Krsna.

Dear Guru Maharaja, the transcendental instructions coming from you and Sir have been cleansing the dirt accumulated in our hearts. We cannot hope for spiritual progress to uplift our existence without your’s and Sir’s descending mercy. Our false ego and conceptions, illusory pursuits and material dreams are being continuously removed from our hearts only because of your mercy. We find no suitable words to express our gratitude to Your Holiness who have been tirelessly spending time for our welfare and helping us to remain fixed in Krsna consciousness. We beg for your blessings so that we may always endeavor to serve you and Sir with love and gratitude and never deviate from that position. We wish and hope to get opportunities to serve you and Sir in future years.

With sincere gratitude and love,

Your insignificant humble servants of your servants,
Gaura Narayana dasa and Gopali devi dasi
