1My dearest and most respected spiritual master and eternal father,
Hare Krsna! Please accept my most humble obeisance’s in the dust of your most merciful divine lotus feet. All glories to Srila Prabhupada!
om ajnana-timirandhasya jnananjana-salakaya
caksur unmilitam yena tasmai sri-gurave namah
“I was born in the darkest ignorance, and my spiritual master opened my eyes with the torch of knowledge. I offer my respectful obeisances unto him.”
nama om visnu-padaya krsna-presthaya bhu-tale
srimate romapada-svamin iti namine
“I offer my respectful obeisances unto His Divine Grace Romapada Swami, who is very dear to Lord Krsna, having taken shelter at His lotus feet.”
mukam karoti vacalam pangum langhayate girim
yat-krpa tam aham vande sri gurum dina-taranam
“I offer my respectful obeisances unto my spiritual master, the deliverer of the fallen souls. His mercy turns the dumb into eloquent speakers and enables the lame to cross mountains.”
Dear beloved Srila Gurudev, on this most auspicious day of your Vyasa-puja celebration, we take this opportunity to express our gratitude for the knowledge imparted to us over the years which has taken us out of this darkness of ignorance. Your daily lectures inspire us and reminds us of who we are and our eternal relationship with Lord Krsna.
We, in our limited capacity, pray to Lord Krsna, that he gives you all the strengths, very good health, and long life to spread His message all over the world and deliver the poor fallen souls like us. We hope and pray that we can be a small insignificant instrument to help you carry out your mission of spreading Krsna consciousness all over the world.
Dear Gurudev, I cannot discover a word that I could use to express gratitude and respect for your love and assistance to a lost soul like me, life after life wandering for the body in the planets of the material world. Through your dedication, mercy, and grace, I learned to become a human, to revive my relationship with Lord Sri Krsna, to restore devotional service to the Supreme Personality of Godhead. By your enormous efforts Gurudeva I am in a happy circumstance of life, always thinking, remembering the Lord, and never forgetting Him. I am eternally grateful for all the gifts you kindly gave to me — and it will only be increased!!!
Thank you for your mercy and guidance, and kindly allowing us to submit our offerings Guru Maharaja. I pray to Srila Gurudeva that I remain always determined and consistent in my sadhana in accordance with Your instructions irrespective of the onslaughts of maya.
I beg at your lotus feet again and again. Kindly shower your causeless mercy on this poor soul. Looking forward to seeing you soon dearest respected Guru Maharaja!!!
Appreciate your time and help as always,
Thank You Very Much as always,
A servant of your servants,
Sundarangi devi dasi, Caru Candra dasa and Rasamayi devi dasi
