Hare Kṛṣṇa Śrīla GuruMahārāja.
Please accept my respectful obeisances. All Glories to You and All Glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda.
All Glories to Your Auspicious Appearance Day Śrīla Gurudevā.
Every year You have revealed so many of Your divine qualities to me that I am always awestruck and eventually I become silent meditating on those qualities of Yours in my mind. In the past one year, You ,once again, personally revealed one more divine quality of Yours to me-the quality of being transcendental. Revelation of Your transcendental nature has brought a firm belief in my consciousness and that belief is that You are always present with Your spiritual children irrespective of the geographical distance that is there between us. You are watching each action that we are doing. Gurumaharaj, You even understand our emotions and purpose behind doing those actions. Sometimes, due to my material conditioning, it seems to me that You might not know few actions that I am doing in my life but You, with Your transcendental potencies, proved me wrong this year.
You not only know which actions we are doing in our lives but also know how we are doing it. I, being Your spiritual daughter, understand why You revealed all this to me. The reason is to help me surrender more at Your Lotus Feet, to never ever think of going away from sincerely serving Your Lotus Feet and to strengthen my belief that You are my Gurumaharaj for eternity.
In my entire self-realization journey that started since time immemorial, I must say to everyone with full joy that my most blissful, beautiful, knowledgeable and ecstatic memories had been those in which You were present.
It is my sincere request and prayer to You that Gurumaharaj please let the flow of Your divine instructions continuously reach me in all kinds of circumstances and bless me so that I can successfully follow those instructions in my life.
Your Spiritual Daughter
