Kindly accept my humble obeissances and kindly bless me so that I can transmit the right words in this first offering.
Last Year, on the auspicious day of Śrī Gaura-purnima, (02 March 2018) Respected Guru Mahārāja, You accepted me as Your spiritual daughter and gave me the name Nitya Śrī devī dāsī. On this most sacred occasion of your 70th appearance anniversary in this world, I would like to fall in the dust of your lotus feet and beg for the ability to properly glorify your divine and magnanimous character. I feel I am such a miniature, such a fallen soul but it is only through Your divine Mercy that I could attain the Mercy of The Supreme Personality of Godhead.
As the cloud pours water on a forest fire to extinguish it, in the same way Guru Mahārāja delivers Mercy to the materially afflicted world by extinguishing the blazing fire of material existence. Respected Guru Mahārāja, I feel very inspired to hear you, despite your health status, chanting and talking about the unlimited pastimes, qualities, names of Śrī Gaurāṅga. Respected Guru Mahārāja, it has been acknowledged in all revealed scriptures that one should honour one’s Spiritual Master as much as the Supreme Lord as He is the most confidential servitor of the Supreme Lord.
On this auspicious occasion, kindly bless me, Respected Guru Mahārāja so that this fallen soul can make some progress in pure devotional service and always remain at Your Lotus Feet.
