Hare Krsna, my beloved Guru Maharaj.
Please accept my humblest and most respectful obeisances to Your lotus feet.
All glories to You and all glories to Srila Prabhupada!
Here I am to You, Dearest Srila Guru Maharaj.
On the occasion of Your glorious Vyasa Puja I would simply like to say, "Thank You", for everything!
Thank You for welcoming me into Your immense family as a daughter.
Thank You for the unconditional mercy towards us and all living beings.
Thank You for the nectar of Your stories, Your teachings, Your kirtans, which are pure oxygen for everyone.
Thank You for Your example of Srila Prabhupada's tireless dedication to serving.
Thank You for Your blessings, which You pour out profusely on each of us, Your spiritual children, equally, making us all feel "special".
Thank You for Your unshakable will, from which one must learn to face the joys and pains of material existence.
One could continue at this rate for much and much longer, as Your qualities are infinite.
I would like to focus on Your example in dealing with current reality. As a Spiritual Master, You do not dwell long on matters relating to daily existence.
As urgent and serious as they may be, You devote the relative attention to obtaining information, but the fixed and unique points remain the preaching and helping as many Jives as possible to become Krsna conscious.
In this crazy historical period, in which everything has changed, turned upside down, I realize more and more how this complicated experience is in fact useful to take more deeply and more deeply and more deeply into the lotus feet of Guru and Krsna. As I often say, perhaps it will be from this change that the golden age of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu's Sankirtan movement will begin.
Please, dearest Srila Guru Maharaj, make me a useful tool in Your service to Srila Prabhupada and always keep me in the safe haven of Your lotus feet.
Your eternal servant
Antaranga Sakti Devi Dasi
