Dear Srila Gurudeva,

On this most revered and auspicious day, I humbly beg to offer my most humble respectful
obeisances at the divine lotus feet of my eternal father and savior.
Each year when I sit down to write my Vyasa-puja offering, I realize how unqualified I am, in
trying to present your transcendental achievements and glories. I also realize how incapable I
am compared to the other devotees who do an excellent job in praising your transcendental
qualities and achievements.
Srila gurudeva, you have dedicated your entire life in serving and fulfilling Srila Prabhupada’s
desires and orders with single pointed focus and without even a slight deviation. You have an
unflinching faith in the words of your spiritual master and meditate 24/7 and execute tirelessly
to expand sankirtana, distribute, print more and more books, build more temples, so on and so
forth, your divine qualities are innumerable. ...
In spite of thousands of disciples/followers and comfortable living conditions, you follow
austerity (One of my god-brother narrated an incident on the 23rd anniversary of the completion
of ‘Glory of India’ Sri Sri Radha-Parthasarathi temple, that how you took vow to only have
kaddu, until the East of Kailash temple was completed) and are extremely humble. You are
extremely caring and give attention to minute details while interacting with your disciples as
well as with any other individual.
Srila gurudeva, you are the beloved disciple of Srila Prabhupada and are following his
instructions in toto. “Whatever ability we have. Whatever examples we give, whatever
instructions we give, they are all coming from Srila Prabhupada. Our position is just like that
of a parrot, who just repeats what he has heard.”
Gurudeva Srila Gopal Krishna Goswami maharaja, you picked me up from the ocean of
nescience and gave me the blissful process of Krishna consciousness. Were if not for your
causeless mercy, I would have been rotting in the cycle of birth and death perpetually.
To be a disciple means to be disciplined. When Prakasananda Sarasvati asked Lord Chaitanya
why he was chanting and dancing like a madman, Chaitanya Mahaprabhu replied that his
spiritual master had considered him a fool and hence asked him to just chant and dance.
Similarly, I should always consider that I am a fool in front of you, and with faith and
determination should follow your instructions in toto.
Srila gurudeva you are my master. I listen to his commands and wait for his remnants. I am
simply a stray dog who’s following him home.
Let me repeatedly offer my respectful obeisances unto the beelike devotees who always taste
the honey of the lotus feet of Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu. If even a doggish non devotee
somehow takes shelter of such devotees, he enjoys the aroma of the lotus flower. (C.c. Adi
10.1)
Purport: The example of a dog is very significant in this connection. A dog naturally does not
become a devotee at any time, but still it is sometimes found that a dog of a devotee gradually
becomes a devotee also. We have actually seen that a dog has no respect even for the Tulasi
plant. Indeed, a dog is especially inclined to pass urine on the Tulasi plant. Therefore the dog
is the number one non devotee. But Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu's sankirtana movement is so
strong that even a doglike non devotee can gradually become a devotee by the association of
a devotee of Lord Chaitanya. Srila Sivananda Sena, a great householder devotee of Lord
Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, attracted a dog on the street while going to Jagannatha Puri. The dog
began to follow him and ultimately went to see Chaitanya Mahaprabhu and was liberated.
Srila gurudeva, on this auspicious day, in spite of my innumerable faults and offenses, I am
seeking your causeless mercy and blessings so that I can always remain fixed at your lotus feet
and never ever deviate from your divine instructions. Please bless me so that I may chant
incessantly without committing any offences and never commit any Vaishnava aparadha.
Desirous of your causeless mercy so that I may continue to serve in my own puny way, along
with other devotees in Srila Prabhupada’s and yours ISKCON movement. Praying to Sri Sri
Radha-Shyamasundara, May my miniscule service bring a smile on the lotus face of my eternal
father!
The disciple and spiritual master are never separated, because the spiritual master always keeps
company with the disciple as long as the disciple strictly follows the instructions of the spiritual
master.” (Srimad-Bhagavatam 4.28.47 purport).
Praying to Sri Sri Lakshmi Narasimhadeva for your perfect health.
Your insignificant servant,
….dasa / …. Dasi
