Anusūyā Yaśodā devī dāsī (Ghaziabad - India)

nama oṁ viṣṇu-pādāya kṛṣṇa-preṣṭhāya bhū-tale
śrīmate jayapatāka svāmin iti nāmine
nama ācaryapādāya nitāi-kṛpā-pradāyine
gaura-kathā-dhāma-dāya nagara-grāma-tāriṇe

Please Accept my koti koti daṇḍavat praṇāmas Guru Mahārāja. However much I may try to write about your glories is too less, for you are an ocean of transcendental qualities. You joined ISKCON at the age of 19 and received sannyāsa at the age of 20, and apparently you had no idea of the difficulties of sannyāsa āśrama at that tender age. As a new bhakta Itself, you gave all your earnings to the local temple, from serving as a restaurant waiter. Later when Prabhupāda gave you the responsibility of constructing the Māyāpur project, we know you would carry cement on your back, even guard the cement night and day, as there was shortage of cement at that time, and the cement could have been easily looted. Such humble services done by you have given us the gift of Māyāpur project for all of us to relish. And continuing your services in all possible ways, even after repeated health crises is so much more inspiring. You have continued preaching irrespective of your external circumstances, even if in hospital, always jīva daya! I am so impressed that you also give us chance to do questions answers in Hindi language too. You have kept giving your love and mercy through all difficult times. Your mercy in the form of senior devotees like His Grace Prema Padmini mātājī, His Grace Sukhakar Kṛṣṇa prabhuji, and His Grace Rāmeśvara Kānāi prabhuji are every day giving us nectar of Harināma and Harikathā through group japa and morning and evening classes. I only pray that we All can keep getting your merciful Association by Lord Gaurāṅga 's mercy for many many decades to come!
