Vyāsa-pūjā 2020

Śyāmalatā devī dāsī (Carriere - New Talavan - United States of America)

My dear spiritual father, 

I offer to you my respectful obbeisances on your 71st viasapuja day.

I have been thinking on your recent trip outside India after your double surgery. From a medical perspective,  it is impossible to comprehend how much your body has to tolerate,  and all those challenges defeat medical explanations. 

As soon as the prescribed time was ready, you embarked on a preaching International tour. When you visited South America,  some countries were experiencing social disturbances,  some local devotees encountered logistical challenges to be with you. Every night you will stop the class at certain times and asked what time it was, you wanted to know if the public transportation was still available for the devotees to go home. 

Such a personal and  genuine concern for the welfare of the devotees only proofs how much you care and love your disciples in every  corner of the world. 

They said that when a person is in danger,  or in terrible pain,  or under extreme distress,  he/ she calls for the mother in the native tongue.  We, your disciples from South America,  call you in our native Spanish,  and it gives us immense happiness when you reciprocate and talk to us in our language. 

The devotees in all those countries you visited in South America  were very fortunate to have you association after a long time,  and they were showered by such a lovingly,  affectionate,  and genuine caring exchange. 

May the Supreme Lord Sri Krishna and Srila Prabhupada give you the blessings to continue your unflagging preaching endeavour,  and They may bless us,  your  disciples,  so we can continue serving you to the  best of our limited qualifications. 

Your spiritual daughter 

Shyamalota devi dasi.
