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 respectful obeisance’s at your lotus feet. All glories to Guru and Gauranga! All glories to Jagad-Guru, Srila Prabhupada and all glories to your loving divine grace! 

Wish you a very, very happy appearance day dear Guru maharaj!!! 

Thank you so much for all your prayers, selfless guidance and daily Nectarian classes. Your prayers mean the world to me. There are not enough words to express how lucky I feel to have the most perfect spiritual father and that too after being so fallen.  

As I hear more of your never-ending transcendental pastimes from God brothers and sisters, they make me realise even more how lucky I am to be under the shelter of the guidance of an exalted personality like yourself. 

Your qualities are endless. You are the perfect disciple, extremely merciful, magnanimous, caring, personal, selfless, humorous, humble, loving, compassionate and completely transcendental. You always put our needs in front of yours and your love for Guru and Gauranga is infectious.
By your mercy, since lockdown, I have started my own online sanga with 7 new devotees. In these sessions, I have been covering the contents of the Science of Self Realisation and have helped everyone to learn the Sikshastakam and its meaning so far. In the month of Kartik, I went through the meaning of the Damosarastakam alongside the Krishna book pastimes in detail and also encouraged members of my sanga group to offer a lamp and chant a round of the maha mantra during these sessions. I am also hoping to organise regular sankirtan parties and so far by your blessings and mercy I have managed to organise 3 successful harinam programmes in parks so far with the help of devotees. I also supported the Food For Life London's launch of the electric van a few months ago by leading the sankirtan effort for this where we managed to receive donations for and distributed 1400 of Srila Prabhupada's books to the homeless over 7 days. More recently, I distributed 6 sets of the Chaitanya Charitamrita for Gaura Purnima.  


Please can you pray that I never do anything to displease you and have the strength to dedicate my life to helping you fulfil Prabhupad's mission. Also, I pray that I can continue to get your transcendental association and guidance forever and to remain a speck of dust at your lotus feet.  

Lots and Lots of Love Always, 

Your spiritual daughter, servant and the most insignificant soul, 

Shyamavallabha Gopi Devi Dasi
