Keśi Damana Kṛṣṇa dāsa. (Hyderabad - India)

Hare Kṛṣṇa Guru Mahārāja!

nama oṁ viṣṇu-pādāya kṛṣṇa-preṣṭhāya bhū-tale

śrīmate jayapatāka svāmin iti nāmine

nama ācaryapādāya nitāi-kṛpā-pradāyine

gaura-kathā-dhāma-dāya nagara-grāma-tāriṇe

 

oṁ ajñāna-timirāndhasya jñānāñjana-śalākayā

cakṣur unmīlitaṁ yena tasmai śrī-gurave namaḥ

 

My dear Guru Mahārāja,

Hare Kṛṣṇa!

A millions of humble and respectful daṇḍavat-praṇāmas to the dust of your lotus feet. Please accept it out of your sheer causeless mercy alone... Guru Mahārāja!!

All glories to Śrī Guru and Śrī Gaurāṇga.

All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda.

All glories to your Holiness.

All glories to all the Vaiṣṇavas.

Guru Mahārāja, this is your insignificant servant - Keśi Damana Kṛṣṇa dāsa, attempting to offer this homage letter and my deepest gratitude to your Holiness on your auspicious 74th Vyāsa-pūjā. I humbly request at your holy feet to accept it out of your sheer causeless mercy alone.

Your holy self, being a sincere disciple of Śrīla Prabhupāda, has been serving his mission and ISKCON untiringly for many decades with tremendous enthusiasm and joy, without displaying even an iota of tiredness in your spiritual journey. That gives me more encouragement to serve you in my little insignificant way and earnestly trying to do so.

Guru Mahārāja, even though you know that I do not have any qualification or eligibility to become your disciple, still you mercifully blessed me with harināma dīkṣā in 2016. Because of your unlimited mercy and blessings alone, I’m still hanging on in Kṛṣṇa Conscious life and able to hold my chanting beads, which is blessed by you, everyday morning for chanting. I’m ever grateful to you and I wish to serve you for eternity and beyond as a servant of servant of your servants.

Gurudeva, on 17th Feb 2023, my family and I shifted from Chennai to Hyderabad and in the process of settling down here. By the causeless mercy of Śrīla Prabhupāda and tireless efforts of our guru brinda of ISKCON, we have Śrīla Prabhupāda’s loving family all around the world to continue our Kṛṣṇa Consciousness. Thus, we are getting devotee association even in Hyderabad for which I’m ever grateful to you all and our dear Śrīla Prabhupāda. I humbly request at your lotus feet to please bless me and my family to be in Kṛṣṇa Consciousness wherever we are and to continue to serve your lotus feet and Śrīla Prabhupāda’s mission eternally and even beyond.

Guru Mahārāja, my only sadness moving out of Chennai is - if I live in Chennai, there is a possibility to have your divine darśana at least occasionally as you used to come there for your treatment. But now, being in Hyderabad, I do not know whether I would get that rare opportunity to see you or do a little vapu sevā as you rarely come here, Gurudeva. My deep and sincere prayers at the lotus feet of our dear Rādhārani and Kṛṣṇa and at your lotus feet too to bless us with more fortunate opportunities to serve your vapu more and more, Guru Mahārāja!!

Gurudeva, knowing well about my helpless inabilities, I humbly and sincerely beg at your lotus feet to please, please, please bless me to serve you in the way it pleases you the most. Without your merciful glance upon this THE MOST FALLEN conditioned soul, I don’t have any strength to perform any service to your lotus feet and to our dear Rādhārani and Kṛṣṇa and all the guru-paramaparā. Just like a honeybee finds a cool shelter in the lotus flower, I feel safe and secured only to be under the shelter of your lotus feet, Guru Mahārāja!

Guru Mahārāja, as it is said that Vaiṣṇavas are generally very merciful always, and on their divine appearance day, they are even more merciful than ever to the fallen souls – like myself. Keeping this truth in view, on this auspicious occasion of your Vyāsa-pūjā, I humbly fall at your lotus feet and earnestly beg and beg and beg to you, dear Gurudeva, please forgive your this patīta sevaka for all the offences committed -- knowingly and unknowingly -- towards your holy self and towards any other devotees and disciples.

Gurudeva, I heard from my śikṣā-guru that the greatest gift that we can ever offer to anyone is to sincerely pray to Kṛṣṇa for them. Although I do not at all have any qualification whatsoever, keeping this truth in mind, Gurudeva, on this auspicious occasion, from the very depths of my heart, I earnestly pray to our beloved Rādhārāṇī and Kṛṣṇa, Śrīla Prabhupāda and all the guru-paramparā to please give you Their merciful blessings in your mission to please Śrīla Prabhupāda, Rādhārāṇī and Kṛṣṇa. This is what this poor, helpless, unworthy and unfit servant can do for you. Out of your own sheer causeless mercy alone, please accept this insignificant service as a small token of my love for you, dear Guru Mahārāja.

Please bless me that my love for you becomes really pure, unconditional, uninterrupted and limitless, and it keeps on ever-increasing, and my guru-niṣṭhā and my commitment to your mission keeps on deepening, and I render -- most lovingly and most unconditionally -- pure, loving, unconditional, uninterrupted, limitless, unflinching and unmotivated devotional service to your holy self, all the guru-paramparā, all the Vaiṣṇavas, and our beloved Rādhārāṇī and Kṛṣṇa, in the way it pleases Them the most -- eternally and even beyond. Your merciful blessings alone can take me in that direction – Guru Mahārāja!

With my heartfelt deep gratitude and millions of humble obeisances at your lotus feet,

Aspiring to be the servant of the servant of the servant of your holy self,

Keśi Damana Kṛṣṇa dāsa.
