Venerable Guru Maharaja, Hare Krsna!

Please accept my humble obeisances at Your divine lotus feet. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. All glories to Your divine grace.

Guru Maharaja, this most auspicious day offers us a very wonderful opportunity to meditate on your transcendental qualities and Your causeless mercy on our lives. Krsna consciousness is like an oasis in the desert-like material world. As I grow older, the more I realize the complexity of the material world and the shelter which Krsna consciousness provides in the form of the holy name, scriptures, and devotees. My access to all of these is only because of You, Guru Maharaja. Your continuous focus on attentive chanting, daily hearing, and studying scriptures has protected my Krsna consciousness amidst all odds.

Guru Maharaja, the ideals of Krsna consciousness are very high. Walking on this path must not always be easy for You but Your gratitude to Srila Prabhupada, Your commitment, and dedication to Srila Prabhupada, Your endeavors for the pleasure of Srila Prabhupada have never changed. I pray at Your lotus feet to have such a sincere desire to follow in Your footsteps.

Guru Maharaja, I also thank You very much for providing me the association of the Indore devotees and guidance from His Grace Jagadananda Prabhuji and Her Grace Ananda Vrndavana Mataji. They have supported us in every situation of our lives. I am very grateful to them.

Thank You very much, Guru Maharaja, for Your loving shelter.

Aspiring to be a servant of Your servants,
Pradyumna dasa
