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. (CC Madhya 17.80)
Dear Guru Maharaja,
Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to you. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. All glories to you on this auspicious day of your vysapuja. The best moment of the year has come, when we have to write vysa puja offering. How difficult it becomes to put the thoughts into words. Though we daily sing cakshu – dana dila yei, janme janme prabhu sei. You are my lord birth after birth, still I am unable to glorify youand your unlimited causeless mercy.
Guru Maharaj you are an ocean of mercy, who, even though I have no special qualification, still accepted me as your disciple and always trying to rescue me from the material distress.
You never judged the worthiness of your disciples; you just selflessly offered your shelter. You are so approachable and humble and are always so concerned about your disciple’s welfare, spiritually and materially. You are understanding and patient towards your disciple’s material conditioning, you guide them sublimely and engage them in service without enforcing it. You were always there for us when we we were going through such mental pain and agony. You were in constant touch with Srinath Krishna Das, asking about my health and well being and also shared the reason behind what happened. It was a great strength for us as if Krishna is personally present with us in the form of our beloved spiritual master. Despite of the busy schedule you even spoke to me and motivated me.
Guru Maharaj you have been always there for us whenever we were in need of you, and you made sure we somehow get out of the material distress by giving spiritual advice and making us progress in Bhakti, thus making us go near to Krishna. That was the main reason I was able to stand up and gain strength to fight with this material distress. I am always so inspired and encouraged by your highest standard of devotional practice expecting that someday by your mercy I will be able to follow atleast a part of it. Your simplicity, humility and forgiveness with all other vaishnava qualities is your greatness.
Guru Maharaj, though I am unqualified still you considered me and gave me second initiation. Please help me so that I may be useful for Krishna’s service and be a nice tool for Krishna.
Dear Guru Maharaj, my heart is full today and I am inshort of words, but still would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for accepting me as your disciple and for being there for me as a spiritual father. If I fall down I know that you will be there to pull me up.
The list of your glorification could be endless. I take this opportunity to thank you for everything, I feel grateful and proud to be your disciple. I pray to Krishna to give me the intelligence to learn to serve you always with enthusiasm and determination. Thank you for giving me the shelter in this material world. May you spend a beautiful birthday. I humbly beg for your blessings and please forgive all the offences that I commit.
All glories to you dear Guru Maharaj always seeking your blessings, mercy and service. Please always keep us in your divine shelter
Yours humble servant,
Divya Sri Devi Dasi.
HpS - 😬 You are a soldier! You are fit to be Draupadi or some such lady in your next life. Thank you for your association. Go ahead. Let Krsna take all your ego and leave you with your real self, as brilliant as the sun, capable of doing your little service in Vaikuntha. Then we shall really see each other for the first time and recognize each other and laugh.
See you all soon.
Best wishes to all the servants of Kala chandji!!!!
