My dear Guru Mahārāja,
Please accept my respectful obeisances.
All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda!
On this most auspicious day, Your Vyāsa-pūjā day, I am trying to write a few words. When I met You, in Sweden 2006, my life was filled with the most glorious event. You became the meaning of my life. The goal for the searching soul. You offer us Your helping hand and lead us home. Back home to the Spiritual World, where we all will serve Rādhā and Kṛṣṇa together again. How can I express my gratitude? I pray that I can serve You in my capacity, in any small way possible, before this life ends. This is my only prayer. I pray that I can follow Your instructions this lifetime and become eligible to enter the goal of this souls searching. After so many lives, You told me after my initiation in Sweden 2007, that You want to see me go back to Kṛṣṇa now. How would this be possible, without the help, guidance and blessings by You, my Dear Spiritual Father.
You are serving Your Guru Mahārāja, Śrīla Prabhupāda with so much determination, austerities and devotion that we all are amazed by the example You set for us. I am most grateful that I was fortunate enough to meet You this lifetime, and get the opportunity to take the shelter of Your Lotus Feet, which are shining like the brightest Honey, for all us bumble bees, searching for eternal truth. You quench our thirst by giving us the Holy Name, service and Your association.
My dear Guru Mahārāja, I take the opportunity to beg for forgiveness, for all offences I committed, knowingly and unknowingly. Thank You for being the guiding light in my life.
Your spiritual daughter,
Mallikā Mādhavī devī dāsī (dīkṣa)
