Dear Guru Mahārāja! My dear Spiritual Father!
Please accept my humble and respectful obeisances in the dust of Your lotus feet.
All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda! Glory to Your auspicious appearance!
On this most important day for the disciples, let me express my deep appreciation and gratitude for Your care and compassion, for amazing generosity and kindness. The spiritual teacher is an ocean of good qualities, and it is impossible to describe all these qualities, but the loving duty of the disciple is to glorify at least some of them.
With tremendous patience, You are experiencing incredible trials related to body health, and with determination continue your service to Śrīla Prabhupāda, touching the hearts of many people. You never lose courage and truly positive thinking, You are always always caring and attentive to Your Godbrothers, disciples, well-wishers and ordinary people. You are always full of spiritual humor and truly deep emotions. You are the source of inspiration to many devotees. You are immersed in the ocean of the nectarean līlās of Lord Gaurahari and generously share this sweetness with others…
I am eternally grateful to You that You pray for me, thereby supporting and nourishing my spiritual life! Thank You so much for Your spiritual children, who all over the world are working for Your satisfaction and inspire others, including me.
Let me offer You the insignificant service and the efforts that I tried to make during this year. Please forgive me voluntarily and unwittingly offences and allow me to continue to learn to serve You. May the lotus-eyed Śrī Gaurāṅga and Śrī Nityānanda grant You strength and health for Your service to Śrīla Prabhupāda.
Hoping to be Your real servant,
Ānanda-mayī Kamalā devī dāsī,
