Acarya-nistha dasa

Dear Guru Maharaja,

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to You, All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

Hare Krsna dear Guru Maharaja. Always perpetually indebted to your lotus feet, I bow down to you on this day and recall with great gratitude the multitude of your qualities and generosity towards me. While I have expressed myself quite boldly to you this year, it has all been in an effort to better apply, adopt, and live forward the divine inspiration and motivation I have received from you in my spiritual life. Guru-tattva is a living reality, dynamic and also adaptive. As I continue along the path, I am always reflective of my roots and cannot fathom the great blessing I have received by receiving you as my diksa-guru, who constantly offered such time, concern, and assistance along my spiritual journey. It has surely been by God’s grace and I thank you again and again for your incredible devotion to Srila Prabhupada, Your profound dedication to book distribution, Your sensitivity and openness in offering guidance, depth of learning, and deep personal taste in bhakti that you share with all of us. They have all been exemplary and role model qualities which have shaped my spiritual destiny.

All glories to You!

And All glories to His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada!

Your grateful servant,

Acarya-nistha dasa
