 “My lord, devotees like your good self are verily holy places personified. Because you carry the Personality of Godhead within your heart, you turn all places into places of pilgrimage.”[Srimad-Bhagavatam 1.13.10]

Dear Guru Maharaja,

Please accept our humble obeisances at Your divine lotus feet. All glories to Your holy grace and all glories to Srila Prabhupada.

Guru Maharaja, Your spiritual potency has the capability to sanctify any place. You have been traveling extensively to spread the glories of the holy name throughout Your exemplary life and through Your inner purity. Devotion makes You a living tirtha (holy place). Your presence transforms any location into a place of pilgrimage.

It reminds us that God can be approached through holy persons and not just through rituals or places. You are a living embodiment of sacredness, and Your divine presence brushes away the dust of ignorance in our hearts. This inspires us to strive inwardly, so that our own lives can become spiritually uplifting for others.

We humbly request you to please shower Your blessings on us so that we can continue to follow the instructions and exemplary behavior set by You and previous acaryas in our sampradaya. Please keep us engaged in Your divine service. May we always have the shelter of Your lotus feet.

Your eternal servants,
Adhoksaja dasa, Deepika, Gopika and Gaurasundar
