nama om vishnu-padaya krishna-preshthaya bhu-tale

srimate Hanumat Preshak swamin iti namine

I offer my respectful obeisances unto His Holiness Hamumat Preshak swami, who is very dear to Lord Krsna, having taken shelter at His lotus feet. 

Gurudev, when I first heard about celebrating your “Vayasa Puja” day on 23rd, first thing came to my mind, is it already a year. What do I write or what do I speak? The more I read, I came to know how little I understood about the whole process. And also realized that how merciful you are in accepting an un-worthy person like me as your disciple.

When I sit and meditate on your words, the first thing came my mind is your “simple living and high thinking”. And also with your mercy (when you are at our place), I am clearly able to see the difference between the “need” and “want”, and often times I confused with both of them.

And another greatest quality of you that I like is “remembering the lord all the time” ananya-cetah satatam yo mam smarati nityasah (the highest goal) Recognizing the lord everywhere and in everything (things that we see and use daily and ignoring lot of times)

Every single time I hear from you, what amazes me is the clarity and depth of knowledge on all the subjects and everything again connecting to Krishna naturally.

When I have a setback in my life, all I do is to mediate on your words “set Priorities and move forward”. That one line of “set Priorities” changed my whole life and motivating me to step towards “Krishna”.

There so many things that I want to write/speak, but unable to express in words (finding it is very difficult to understand what the heart felt with mind) Praying the Lord sincerely, that one day I can become worthy of your disciple, by following your footsteps.

Your Humble Servant
