nama oṁ viṣṇu-pādāya kṛṣṇa-preṣṭhāya bhutale
śrīmate jayapatāka-svamin iti namine
nama ācāryapadāya nitai kṛpa pradāyine
gaura katha dhāma dāya nagara grama tarine
Dear Gurumaharaj,
Please accept my respectful obeisances unto the dust of your lotus feet!
All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda!
Gurumaharaja, it is this very day I await throughout the year for, and on this day let me try to glorify you as much as possible with my tiny brain.
Gurumaharaj, I'm not educated like the other senior Vaiṣṇava god brothers and sisters who have wonderfully glorified your Holiness, so it naturally is tough for me to personally write a vyasa puja offering letter, hence on behalf of me, my grandson writes this letter to you.
Dear Gurumaharaj, it's been nearly two decades since I've been graced by the good fortune of you accepting me as your spiritual daughter, and this very day is still bright in my dull memory.
I cannot read or write much, but still this year during the lockdown, I have started to read. As far as possible I try my level best to read one or two words about Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu, because only by the mercy of Guru, Gauranga and Vaisnavas can I progress little by little.
Gurumaharaja, I try to hear everyday some or the other lecture by our senior god brother, H.G Jagat Sakshi Prabhu, H.G Paramesvara Gaura Prabhu and the others in Tamil.
Although all these are insignificant Gurumaharaj, please accept this as a small offering unto the dust of your lotus feet, which is like an ocean of never ending honey.
Your insignificant servant,
Veda Valli Devi Dasi
