asa[e] guru tattva; pranama mantras
Hare Krishna, Gurudev. Dandavat pranam unto your lotus feet.
AGTSP.
We almost, all your disciples belonging to Silchar and Imphal, have agreed this Gurudev pranam mantra.
So praying to our H. H. Guru Maharaj to kindly accept this Mantra so that all your disciples of this planet can use this same mantra to pray unto your lotus feet. Hope that by the grace of lord Radha Shyamasundar gurudev you are quite fit in all respect. Dandavat pranam gurudev. Your fallen servant. Krishna Swarup Das.

HpS - ASA --- AgtSP!!! Paoho. We always want more and more of your association and the wonderful Silchar, Manipura et al devotees. Just thinking about those places and the Sankirtan we are in ecstacy.
Now we are in ISKCON Houston, Texas, southern part of USA.
Is little warm here but so far is fine.
Krsna personally guarantees this place will not be perfect.
This topic of Guru-puja is very nice, no?
One of the Pancha-tattva.
"In this verse [Nectar of Instruction 5] Śrīla Rūpa Gosvāmī advises the devotee to be intelligent enough to distinguish between the kaniṣṭha-adhikārī, madhyama-adhikārī and uttama-adhikārī. The devotee should also know his own position and should not try to imitate a devotee situated on a higher platform.", https://vedabase.io/en/library/noi/5/#bb5954
Honestly looking at our level of renunciation and determination we can see that maybe we qualify as Sannyasi, Goswami, uttama-adhikkari, in some perspectives, by His Divine Grace, help of everyone, but we do not see our selves as perfectly, strongly on the platform of Bhava.
Developing.
We must all have lotus feet in our Siddha Svarupa but now we don't feel that we have them.
Devotees offering different Sanskrit verses to glorify us for events like Vyasa-puja or other informal moments seems fine. Then we can directly comment on each one.
The first Mantra seems fine.
The second seems to be beyond our range in some ways.
We do not feel that we are the form of renunciation.
. . . Real renunciation of going out door to door each day. 🙂
Many devotees like myself are struggling to not eat too much. Some success. Some failure. No meat fish or eggs. No grains cooked by Karmis!
Third Mantra seems too general. It is pretty much included in the first and general description of any Goswami, American Goswami, member of ISKCON, no?
So, first Mantra, especially as appreciation of what Srila Prabhupada is making us, seems enough, no?
We are like you.
We like to be "glorified" if it is glorification of Krsna and Guru!!
How is the Sankirtan in Silchar?
Your Ashrama, Family?
