Hare Krishna Srila Gurudeva

On this most auspicious day of Guru Purnima, please accept my sincere and humble obeisances at your lotus feet 🙏🙇‍♂️

hps - in our siddha deha we must all have lotus feet, no?

All glories to Srila Prabhupada and All glories to you Gurudeva!!

My beloved Gurudeva, Without your mercy, I would remain lost in this material world, endlessly entangled in illusion and forgetfulness of Supreme Lord Krishna.

You have selflessly dedicated your life to spreading the teachings of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu and Srila Prabhupada, and through your association, I am learning what it truly means to be a servant of the servant of the Lord.

HpS - We have squeaked the Holy Name every now and then like a little selfish greedy, stupid mouse but Srila Prabhupada has kept pulling us along and using us to speak things.

You have patiently guided me, corrected me, and encouraged me, always seeing beyond my faults and helping me strive toward the ultimate goal of life-pure devotional service to Lord Krishna.

On this most auspicious day, I humbly beg you to continue to shower your causeless mercy upon this fallen soul. Please allow me to serve you more sincerely, follow your instructions more faithfully, and deepen my attachment to the holy names and devotional service.

Please forgive my offenses, my laziness, and my forgetfulness. 

I pray for the strength to become a disciple that pleases you and serves your mission.

Thank you very much for everything, Gurudeva. I am eternally indebted to you.

Your tiny servant,

RamaKrishnananda Das

ISKCON of Richmond.

HpS - We can only hope that you continue your journey inward to make your perfection, brahminical japa, more deep!!!! We hope you become an Acharya like Srila Prabhupada.

Let us always be with him, here, Nabadvipa...
