Dear Guru Maharaja
Please accept our respectful obeisances to your divine lotus feet. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
We are so close to and yet so far from you and today becomes even more special because we feel your absence even more but at the same time we remind ourselves how close you become to us in the way we follow your instructions and we try to encourage ourselves to help in your mission.
Today is very important for us because we can say Happy Birthday to you and at the same time say thank you because you make us happy and very fortunate by your appearance in this world.
In the present circumstances with what is going on around us they say it is a test for compassion that people can feel for others, but the ultimate example of compassion is you because you give yourself to others without limit. In a world where love is a rare thing you are love personified, love for others and love for Guru and Krsna, you are the light that illuminates us in these dark times.
Always remaining your servants,
Prema-sindhu Caitanya dasa and Saci premamayi devi dasi.
