namas te sārasvate deve gaura-vāṇī-pracāriṇe nirviśeṣa-śūnyavādi-pāścātya-deśa-tāriṇe
Please accept my most respectful obeisances at your lotus feet
All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda .
On this most auspicious day I beg humbly to Śrī Śrī Rādhā Mādhava, Śrī Panca-tattva, Narasiṁhadev and Śrīla Prabhupāda that you may be granted all good health so you can fulfil your only desire to serve Śrīla Prabhupāda.
This day is more auspicious because Kṛṣṇa has let you stay here so you can continue to inspire us and also fulfil your desires in your service to Śrīla Prabhupāda. By your activities you’re are showing us by example how to perform devotional service by the mind body and words in any condition of life. You are also showing us how to remain enthusiastic, confident and determined in the most difficult circumstances. Gurudeva I am waiting for the day when you will stand and dance with your whompers . I dreamt of it one day and praying for it to happen.
Gurudev you have been showering so much mercy on me in spite of me being so worthless and my only prayer is I should become your worthy disciple. It’s 9 months now since we left Gaurāṅga Deśa and moved to India first serving you in Chennai when you underwent the surgery and thereafter moved to Śrī Māyāpur Dhām .
My husband and I have been given the service in your office . It’s a huge responsibility and I hope we can please you by our service.
The last few months in your service and in the association of god brothers and god sisters, doctors and many others who are serving you has been a humbling experience and very inspiring . I hope to develop a drop of the love they all have for you. I realise your glories by seeing them all and have a hope that if I endeavour I too can become a gem in your service.
Gurudeva I am also very desirous of become a teacher and am endeavouring to acquire the necessary skills and qualifications by attending the teachers training course and other necessary courses . Also I feel some inclination to contribute towards education in ISKCON and I hope I will get an opportunity.
Gurudeva when we moved from Gaurāṅga Deśa we handed over our service after due training to His Grace Śrīranga Kṛṣṇa Prabhu and His Grace Gopi Gana Gita Mathaji. They both have sincerely taken the service and working to expand the Yatra . We visited in December for a few weeks on their request and it was good to see more new devotees and Yatra carrying on nicely. As per your advice we are guiding them when they require guidance .
Gurudeva my daughter Snigdha Rādhikā Devī Dāsī and Bhaktha Venkat are moving to Canada. Seek your blessings so they continue to serve you in all earnest and become your sincere servants. Venkat is aspiring from His Holiness Radhnatha Swami Mahārāja. he needs your blessings to get initiated soon.
Gurudeva I struggle in my devotional service and beg for forgiveness for my faulty nature and any pain I have caused you by my inappropriate behaviour thou that’s not intended even in wildest dreams. I hope by staying in Dhām I can advance in Kṛṣṇa consciousness.I pray to you to bless me so I can make the best while living in Dhām. I have your instructions to take advantage of deities and association of devotees and Kṛṣṇa katha and trying sincerely to follow them .
Your spiritual daughter
Śacī Jananī devī dāsī,
