My Dearest Guru Maharaj,
Please accept my most respectful obeisances at your lotus feet. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
With all the love in my heart, I would like to wish you a very Happy Vyasapuja.
As all of your disciples watch the festivities and glorification from online, we may not be there in person, but we are most definitely there in spirit. This year, the pandemic lockdown may have changed many things, but it can never change the utmost love and gratitude that we have for you, our dear spiritual Father. It has actually taught us surrender and detachment, as well as appreciation for many things we take for granted, like the association of devotees. And most of all, as you have mentioned in your classes, how the chanting of the Holy Name is the only way to save the world.
You are our hope, Guru Maharaj, our guiding star, and our commander in chief, leading us out of harm's way.
We owe everything to you, Guru Maharaj, and pray that one day we can attempt to somehow repay you in service to Srila Prabhupada.
Begging to remain at the dust of your lotus feet,
Your servant and spiritual daughter,
Devesani Radhika dasi
