My dear and beloved Śrīla Gurudeva, please accept my most respectful obeisances at your lotus feet. On this auspicious day of your Vyāsa-pūjā, I would like to take the opportunity to thank you for all the genuine spiritual love you are giving me, for the example that you set to which I always refer to, for being constantly present in my mind and for helping me step by step.
Your activities are incomparable, please bless me and allow me to imbibe your urge to preach and your compassion to every fallen soul. Please always allow me to be engaged in service and to execute it with full concentration and devotion.
Your example is our daily nourishment. All glories to your lotus feet!!
Your fallen daughter,
Devakī Rūpa Devī Dāsī (dīkṣā)
