Gurudeva!

krpa- bindu diya, Karo’ei dase.
trnapekha ati hina
sakala sahane, bala diya koro’,
... nija-mane sprha- hina

“Gurudeva, by a drop of mercy, make this servant of yours humbler than a blade of grass. Giving me strength to bear all trials and troubles, make me devoid of all desires for personal honor.”

Without your mercy, we cannot reach Krsna
Krsna se tomara, Krsna dite paro,
Tomara sakati ache
ami to’ kangala, ‘Krsna’ ‘Krsna’ boli’,
dhai tava pache pache

“Krsna is yours; you have the power to give Him to me. I am simply running behind you shouting ‘Krsna! Krsna!’”

brahmovāca
tvayā me 'pacitis tāta
kalpitā nirvyalīkataḥ
yan me sañjagṛhe vākyaṁ
bhavān mānada mānayan

Lord Brahmā said: My dear son Kardama, since you have completely accepted my instructions without duplicity, showing them proper respect, you have worshiped me properly. Whatever instructions you took from me you have carried out, and thereby you have honored me.

So, like Kardam muni honored his spiritual master he exactly carried out the instructions received from him and that he actually honored his spiritual master. To honor the spiritual master means to carry out his instructions word for word in toto.

On this blessed occasion of your 36th sannyasa anniversary day please empower us so that like kardam muni we could strictly follow your instructions and honour you and please you. “Following gurus’s instruction means accepting Lord Krishna in heart”

JAYA GURUDEV…

Your insignificant servants
