My Dear Gurumaharaj,
Please accept my respectful obeisances.
All glories to you Gurudevā on this most auspicious day!
You are my strength. Our strength! You have showed me how to be confident and perform my duties for the pleasure for Sri Sri Radha Gopinath.
Thanks for agreeing to stay with us longer and being a pillar like support, in each and every endeavour we undertake. Though you are not physically present with us at the moment I can see your blessings and mercy in every phase of life. The past year has been a roller coaster ride and I understand it’s for my betterment.
You have shown by example how strong and determined we should be in executing our devotional service. I remember during your Sydney visit, one afternoon you were speaking to number of guests and going back to take rest. We ladies were sitting watching yourself, having amiable exchanges with guests. So after attending to them for such a long time , before you retired to rest you stopped by and tried to stand up with difficulty and explained something to us through gestures. That brought tears and happiness in our eyes. Was with my little brain trying to interpret what you might have conveyed. Now I understand that you were giving us hope, confidence and strength.
Would like to thank you for all your blessings on us and we our prayers for your health to be stable .
Your spiritual daughter,
