Dearest Gurudeva


Please accept my most humble obeisances! 

All Glories to our most dearest Srila Prabhupada! ! 

All Glories to your Divine Grace on this most auspicious day as your Vyasa Puja! ! 

On this very auspicious day of your 69th Vyasa Puja celebration, your undeserving daughter seeks your causeless mercy. I have been surviving purely founded on your blessing and prayers.

Gurudeva it saddens me that I have not had your direct darshan for the past 7 years. However I do know that you are always available in the form of your lectures, via social media, and the most important to me, is in the form of your emails which I anxiously await and relish every single word. My connection with you is strongest through whatever little service I do especially making garlands for Their Lordships.

You are truly Srila Prabhupada’s teaching in action. When I read Srila Prabhupada’s books, I find your message to do service to Their Lordships and to the devotees, of being tolerant, humble and simple living higher thinking, very prominent in those nectarean books. Gurudeva I am so grateful to you and the devotees in South Africa for encouraging me to read more of Srila Prabhupadas books. At times I feel that my material conditionings are holding me back, but taking shelter of you and Srila Prabhupada’s books are helping me trample those material conditionings.

Gurudeva you are a True Gardener, who is not only looking after the gardens, but also nurturing the most precious flower of your life in such a beautiful way… dearest Gurudeva, let my appreciation for you grow continously. Let me realize your transcendental position. More importantly Gurudeva let me become a sincere and serious disciple of yours. Let me make you proud.

This year has been so trying, your health having deteriorated so much, which worries me a lot. On this auspicious day of your Vyasa Puja, I pray to Caitanya Mahaprabhu that you should be in my life years after years and my appreciation and attachment to serve you always increases.

 

Your daughter who is begging for your mercy,
Prahladini radhika devi dasi
