All glories to Srila Prabhupada. 

All glories to you on this auspicious day of your vyasapuja.

I am truly grateful and indebted to you for accepting me as your disciple. Through your blessings and prayers for me I have been able to serve Sri Sri Radha Gokulananda and their devotees at Bhaktivedanta Manor UK. 

Your service attitude towards His Divine Grace Srila Prabhupada is so inspiring, you are always trying so hard to fulfil the mission and are always trying to please him, this is evident through all your classes, projects and communications. Through your classes I have been able to understand your caring mood and the importance of building loving relationships within the devotee community. Even with your health conditions and time constraints you take time out to care for the devotee communities around the world by supporting them through virtual darshan, online classes, daily updates and more. Thank you for giving us so much of your time and association through these mediums. 

Another impression you have had on me is of your deep desire to share the glories of Lord Chaitanyas mission. In 2006 Dubai you had instructed me to preach in Gujuarti when I go to London as there are many Gujurati’s in London. This instruction came with an abundance of mercy and has empowered me to be a mentor to Gujurati mataji’s part of the Bhaktivedanta Manor’s mentorship system where I have been doing a sanga with them for the last 5 years. 

During the lockdown you instructed us to make use of this opportunity to preach, this encouraged me to start Bhakti Vriksha with mothers and one with children. I am grateful to you because of your powerful prayers and blessings I am able to render some service. Without you I would not have been able to access Srila Prabhupada’s wonderful family.

In November 2019 you blessed us with your association and celebrated Bhisma Pancak with us and I had the golden opportunity to cook prasadam for you during your stay in the UK. I have attached a picture. 

I would like to take this opportunity to ask for forgiveness for any mistakes or offences I may have made towards any living entities. You are so compassionate and merciful so I humbly request your blessings for me and my family so we can continue to serve Srila Prabhupada’s mission with love and devotion in a way that will please him. Thank you for everything. 

Your servant, 

Chaitanya Prema Bhakti Devi Dasi
