My dear spiritual father,
Please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet on this most auspicious occasion of your Vyasa Puja. All glories to Srila Prabhupada ! All glories to your Holiness !
Just as a river carries all the leaves and straws through its water to the ocean, your Holiness is carrying souls like me to the lotus feet of Lord Sri Krishna. Sometimes the leaves and straws get stuck between the pebbles in the water, but the strong flow gets them unstuck and they start flowing again. Many a times I get stuck in my material situation and time and again, its only through the strong flow of your mercy that I am able to continue my spiritual journey. Thank you so much for your shower of karunya on this lowly disciple of yours.
On this auspicious occasion, I request for your blessings upon our entire family, my husband Govardhana Giri Dasa and our two sons – Bhakta Gaura Hari and Bhakta Madhav Krishna. Only by the power of your mercy, all of us can cross over this samsara sagara through the cultivation of bhakti.
Begging for forgiveness for all my offenses,
Your spiritual daughter,
Gokula Gaurangi Devi Dasi
