Nityananda Gauranga Hare Krishna!

Dear Guruji,

Please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet. All glories to the guru parampara. All glories to Lord Nityananda and Lord Gauranga. All glories to Sri-Sri Radha Govinda.

On this most sacred day of your appearance we express our gratefulness and thankfulness towards you. Via your guru and his guru and his guru our worship is transferred to Vyasadeva which makes Lord Sri Gaura Krishna very happy Who accepts the devotee of his devotee rather than His direct devotee. In this sense everyday is your sacred appearance day because you are the permanent transparent medium through which we are enabled to render loving service unto the lotus feet of the Lord. Therefore your lotus feet are equal, no even greater, than the lotus feet of the Lord. At these most sacred of all feet I pray:

Thank you for extinguishing the blazing fire of our material conditioning and allowing us to receive a glimpse of the spiritual existence which is beyond words for description. Thank you for spreading the most merciful holy Names of Lord Nityananda and Lord Gauranga so boldly throughout the world. Thank you for being so patient and compassionate towards our repeated ignorance. Thank you for your courage that sometimes has to row upstream against all currents. Thank you for this holy forum where we can meet at your feet. Thank you for everything you do and everything you are.

By your mercy I had this last year the great fortune to experience so much happiness and to receive so many insights. There were times that I couldn�t sleep for days because my inner happiness was dancing so vigorously. I have realized my eternal connection with you as never before: there is no space and time between us, you are always in my heart and you give me continuous instruction. By your mercy Srila Vyasadeva in his manifestation as Sri Vrndavan dasa Thakura is speaking so clearly in his Sri Chaitanya-Bhagavata; there are books of realization hidden between the lines and our Lordships Nityananda and Gauranga are dancing in every sloka.

Your greatest gift to the world is your emphasizes on the Mantrarajas. In my case the Maha Mantra became only alive after I started chanting the Mantrarajas �Nityananda� and �Gauranga�. Although we see this most sacred of instructions throughout the scriptures and writings of our teachers, it is in this modern time only you who is actually inviting the aspiring devotees to these most accessible nectarian Names of the Lord. Thank you so much for enduring all defying opinions and reaching out to fallen souls like me and safe me from the vicious circle of repeated birth and death without experiencing the unlimited ocean of love for Lord Nitai-Gauranga-Krishna. I do not mind to be born again and again but I beg it will always be where you are so I can remain, by your mercy, a tiny dust particle at your feet.

Eternally we sing your glories throughout the entire universe and without beginning and without end we ask for your continuous mercy of extending that always expanding ocean of love for Lord Nitai-Gauranga-Krishna! Dear Guruji when you read these words awake, unlimited flower petals are raining from the sky filling your atmosphere with celestial fragrance and every atom around you is singing in the sweetest of all voices: Nityaananda! Gauraanga! Hare Krishna!

With love beyond words,

Hadai Nityananda dasa

Nityananda Gauranga Hare Krishna!
