Śyāma Vallabha Gopī devī dāsī (London - Bhaktivedanta Manor - United Kingdom)

oṁ ajñāna-timirāndhasya jñānāñjana-śalākayā 
cakṣur unmīlitaṁ yena tasmai śrī-gurave namaḥ

To my dearest, beloved spiritual father,

Please except my humble obeisances at your lotus feet. All glories to Guru and Gaurāṅga! All glories to Jagad-guru, Śrīla Prabhupāda and all glories to your loving Divine Grace!

Wish you a very happy appearance day dear Guru Mahārāja!!!

Thank you very much for everything you do for me and for showering your mercy upon a fallen soul like me! I can never express just how much your prayers and blessings mean to me and how much I love you. 

It is only because of your prayers and blessings that my chanting is stable this year and that I am receiving devotee association. As I hear more of your never-ending transcendental pastimes from God brothers and sisters, they make me realise even more how lucky that I am to have the guidance and shelter of an exalted personality like yourself to save me from this miserable material world. Thank you very much for your daily enlightening Caitanya-līlā classes. I really look forward to hearing them and I can feel your presence with me when I hear and see them, as they magically answer some of my personal questions without me even having to ask. I can't wait to read your Caitanya-līlā books when they are released.

A few words that come to my mind when I think of you are: extremely merciful, selfless, caring, completely transcendental, loving, unstoppable, magnanimous, compassionate, determined, and humorous. But the list of your qualities is never ending.

During the book marathon, I managed distribute 100 books by your mercy. Last year, we organised a walk to raise money to buy a new electric van for Food For Life London to enable us to reach out to more people with prasāda. I organised the Harināma for this where 250 devotees had an ecstatic 7 hour Harināma across London. This event was a huge success as we managed to raise £60,000 from it by your blessings.

This year I pray I have the strength to always be fixed in my Kṛṣṇa consciousness, to have your transcendental association forever and that I never do anything to displease you. 

Lots and Lots of Love Always,

Your spiritual daughter and the most insignificant soul,

Śyāmavallabha Gopī devī dāsī
