Nama oṁ viṣṇu-pādāya kṛṣṇa-preṣṭhāya bhū-tale
śrīmate jayapatāka svāmin iti nāmine

gaura-kathā-dhāma-dāya nagara-grāma-tāriṇe
All Glories to Śrīla Prabupada! All Glories to your auspicious appearance day Guru Mahārāja!
Dear Guru Mahārāja,
By your mercy, you embraced me and my husband (Jagathguru Kṛṣṇa dāsa - 75 years now) into the family of ISKCON, in the year 2003, during the period we were living in Dāmodaradeśa. My daughter Gauraprema Gāyatrī devī dāsī (from London) was also initiated by you, Guru Mahārāja.
Truely, speaking it took years for me to understand the benefits of your mercy to accept us as one of your disciples and the protection through mahā-mantra.
Trying to say something, frankly, our praṇāma-mantra to you with all obeisances is the force which is giving me the strength to chant ‘Hare Kṛṣṇa mahā-mantra’. The reason why I have this feeling is; your service and care to all ISKCON devotees in Every Town and Village, is beyond my imagination, while totally ignoring your health inconveniences.
By your mercy, the little service I do is, I am taking care of my home - garden, especially flowers for our altar.
This is my humble tribute to You, Dear Guru Mahārāja,
May Lord Narasiṁhadeva protect your health to continue Your service.
May Lord Gaurāṅga give You the spiritual strength too.
We pray to the Lord on this auspicious occasion of Your Vyāsa-pūjā, all glories, all glories, all glories unto You,
Your eternal servant,
Danya Rādhikā Devī Dāsī
