Bhaktivinoda dasa and Naradi devi dasi

Hare Krsna, dearest Guru Maharaja,

Please accept our most humble obeisances at your divine lotus feet. All glories to our eternal savior, Srila Prabhupada.

On this most sacred occasion of your Vyasa-puja, our hearts overflow with gratitude and joy as we reflect on the inconceivable mercy of being accepted as your disciples. To be under your shelter is the greatest blessing of our lives.

Guru Maharaja, you are the divine light guiding us through the darkness of material existence. With every breath and every step, you serve Srila Prabhupada with unwavering dedication and deep devotion, showing us what true surrender looks like. Your every word, every class, every glance, is saturated with compassion and divine wisdom. You travel tirelessly across the globe, not for yourself, but to uplift souls burdened by forgetfulness of Krsna to awaken love and faith where there is fear.

Your daily classes are lifelines for us streams of nectar that quench the thirst of our hearts. In your teachings, we find direction, clarity, and the courage to walk the path of bhakti. Your quick and thoughtful replies to our queries show not only your brilliance, but your deep love and concern for each of us. When you smile, it is as if the clouds in our lives are lifted. When you glance upon us, we feel protected, seen, and held by the most caring spiritual father. Your presence alone instills peace and purpose.

Guru Maharaja, you are a living embodiment of sincerity, discipline, and surrender. You do not simply speak the scriptures you live them. You carry the heart of our acaryas in your own, and through your lectures, enriched with profound insights and stunning visuals, you bring the spiritual world closer to us.

We are forever indebted that you have chosen to embrace us as your spiritual children. We do not have the words to express the depth of our gratitude. Our only prayer is that we may one day become worthy of the love and mercy you so freely give.

Guru Maharaja, please bless us that we may serve Srila Prabhupada’s mission with devotion and humility, and that we may become instruments of your vision. We fervently pray to Sri Sri Radha Govinda to bless you with robust health and a long life so that this world may continue to be graced by your presence.

With all the love and reverence in our hearts, we bow at your lotus feet. All glories to you, our beloved Guru Maharaja. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

Your humble servants,
Bhaktivinoda dasa and Naradi devi dasi
