Adhoksaja dasa, Deepika, Gopika, and Gaurasundar

Our dearest and most respected Guru Maharaja,

Please accept our humble obeisances at your divine lotus feet. All glories to Your Divine Grace and all glories to Srila Prabhupada.

Please accept my offering for Your Holy Appearance Day:

In these unprecedented times due to COVID-19 pandemic, we all took “shelter-in-place” to avoid contracting the corona virus. However, we are indebted to you for providing us the real shelter at your divine lotus feet. We would like to offer our gratitude and thank you for showering “Karuna” in our lives. Without the shelter of your compassion, we would have been lost in this dangerous material world.

Your compassion towards us is directly coming from Lord Nityananda who is “compassion personified” and sum-total of all gurus. We may struggle in diverse ways in this material world as the material energy tries to crush us. Often, we feel that we will never achieve the pure love of Godhead and the service attitude of a pure devotee. But we should know that you as representative of Lord Nityananda is always there for us. One recent example of such compassion is personally meeting with you in Central New Jersey Temple. You showered your mercy to ensure that we become recipient of your direct association. Despite of your busy schedule and travel inconvenience, it is amazing to see how you manage to feel sympathy and heartfelt sorrow for the troubles of others.

yad yad acarati sresthas

tat tad evetaro janah

sa yat pramanam kurute

lokas tad anuvartate

“Whatever action a great man performs, common men follow. And whatever standards he sets by exemplary acts, all the world pursues”. [Bhagavad-gita 3.21]

 Guru Maharaja, we are inspired by your exemplary act of dedicating your life to alleviate our pain. You give so much affection to every soul, we humbly request you to please shower your blessings on us so that we can continue to follow the instructions and exemplary behavior set up 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.

Aspiring to be an eternal servant of your divine instructions,

Adhoksaja dasa, Bhaktin Deepika, Bhaktin Gopika and Bhakta Gaurasundar
