Guru Maharaja’s Homages to Srila Prabhupada
There might be many obstacles and setbacks in pushing on Srila Prabhupada’s movement, but as long as we don’t compromise, strictly follow the principles of Krishna consciousness, and keep Srila Prabhupada in the center as founder-acarya, there will be success.

vande guroḥ śrī-caraṇāravindam
The spiritual master is receiving benediction from the ocean of mercy. Just as a cloud pours water on a forest fire to extinguish it, so the spiritual master delivers the materially afflicted world by extinguishing the blazing fire of material existence. I offer my respectful obeisances unto the lotus feet of such a spiritual master, who is an ocean of auspicious qualities.

vande guroḥ śrī-caraṇāravindam
Chanting the holy name, dancing in ecstasy, singing, and playing musical instruments, the spiritual master is always gladdened by the sańkīrtana movement of Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu. Because he is relishing the mellows of pure devotion within his mind, sometimes his hair stands on end, he feels quivering in his body, and tears flow from his eyes like waves. I offer my respectful obeisances unto the lotus feet of such a spiritual master.
Meaning of Vyasa-puja
