Worshipable Gurudeva,
Please accept my obeisances at your lotus feet. You are not an ordinary human being, so that I will dare to write a normal. You are like as God, how an illiterate and dull headed one, like me will write a letter on this most auspicious day of your 70th appearance day. The more I will glorify, it will be less and less. You are like Brahma, Viṣṇu and Mahesh and out of your mercy you have removed me from the well of darkness and Material Ocean. By your mercy and in association of devotees I came to know about human being, soul and devotional service. I don’t know what I had done in my previous lives that I got a Guru like you and my human life became successful. Earlier I was alone, as my husband, who is also your disciple, was serving in Indian Army. Now he is retired and with your mercy we will do more service together. My two sons and daughter-in-law are not devotees, so sometimes we are facing some problem in our devotional service, due to attachment and material relationship duty. With folded hands I beg your mercy for them, so that the entire family can serve you, Kṛṣṇa and Vaishnavas.
Yours spiritual daughter
