Dear Guru Maharaj,
nama om vishnupadaya
krsna prestaya bhutale
srimate jayapataka
swamin iti namine
I am Madana Mohini from Sydney Australia, devotee since 1980.
Gurudeva, I'm hoping you remember me as I've sent no poems as I used to, or written you, having had many years with hardship: my son Lokanatha das left his body, I've had cancer twice, and am presently somewhat incapacitated (walking stick, diminished mental ability).
Reason for above mention is not for pity etc, for Krsna is there, but actually to GLORIFY YOU for your dear Vyasapuja day.
All you have done for me, you've done for so many of us Gurudeva:
• Even if you may not recall me, your shining personality and very presence in this world has been my only solace.
• You are my very reason to be able to carry on at all.
• Even without contact etc, you are my most dear guiding light.
• Your wonderful strengths keep my feet (albeit scraping sometimes) ever moving forward, one in front of the other.
• Memories of moments with you and serving you are my life·bread.
• Through remembrance of your continued perseverance, I can face each day.
• Hearing of your many glorious passtimes is my only happiness.
Such is the beautiful effect you have on your spiritual sons and daughters.
Such is your wondrous effect felt worldwide, felt by me, and a huge multitude of others.
Truly insignificant, I humbly bow down in reverence to your continuing determination because you are the most inspiring example and so to glorify you, right now and every day, is what keeps my spiritual life thankfully alive.
The entire world was bettered by your auspicious arrival, therefore I offer obeisances at your feet again and again and again.
All glories to Jayapataka Swami!!
Jaya Gaura Nitai!
Jaya Radha Madhava!
JayaShrila Prabhupada!
Jaya Mayapur Vaishnavas!
Jaya Gurudeva Vyasapuja!!
Your eternal servant,
Madana Mohini devi dasi.
