Sri Sri Guru Gauranga Gandharvva Nandanandana on this auspicious occasion.
On this special day the devotees of Veracruz take special care in their remembrance and glorification of our beloved spiritual master, His Divine Grace Srila Bhakti Sundar Govinda Dev-Goswami Maharaj. By His Divine Grace alone the devotees may attain the grace of Their Lordships Sri Sri Gandharvva Nandanandana (yasya prasadad Bhagavat prasado, yasyaprasadat na gatih kuto 'pi).
Madhuchanda Devi Dasi eagerly takes this opportunity to glorify Sri Gurudev, who, as the Scriptures declare, is simultaneously one with and most dear to the Supreme Lord (saksad dharitvena samasta sastrair, uktas tatha bhavyata eva sadbhih; kintu Prabhur yah priya eva tasya).

samsara davanala lidha loka
tranaya karunya ghanaghanatvam
praptasya kalyana gunarnavasya
vande guroh sri charanaravindam

"I worship the lotus feet of the Divine Master, who is the ocean of auspicious qualities. Just to deliver all planes of life that are suffering in the forest fire of the material world, he, as the rain-cloud of mercy, melts to shower down the waters of compassion."

mahaprabhu kirttana nrtya gita
vaditra madyan manaso rasena
romancha kampasru taranga bhajo
vande guroh sri charanaravindam

"I worship the lotus feet of the Divine Master, whose heart is maddened in nectarean love for Sriman Mahaprabhu by the grand congregational chanting of the Holy Name. Dancing, singing, and playing the khol and karatals, etc., his body thrills with joy, trembles, and waves of tears flow from his eyes."

sri vigraharadhana nitya nana
srngara tan mandira marjjanadau
yuktasya bhaktams cha niyunjato pi
vande guroh sri charanaravindam

"I worship the lotus feet of the Divine Master, who personally engages in many types of worshipful services such as dressing the Deity and cleansing the Lord's holy Temple, and similarly engages the devotees (in his retinue)."

chatur vidha sri bhagavat prasada
svadv anna trptan hari bhakta sanghan
krtvaiva trptim bhajatah sadaiva
vande guroh sri charanaravindam

"I worship the lotus feet of the Divine Master, who fully satisfies the devotees of Sri Krishna with four types of nectarean Prasadam foodstuffs that are chewed, sucked, licked, and drunk (that is, he brings about the dispellation of mundanity and the awakening of the joy of love that develops from respecting Prasadam), and he is thereby himself satisfied."
