I have been into ISKCON for nearly two decades, reading and understanding is not my best ability, my only way to please Guru and Gauranga is through prasadam. For me, a guru means a merciful father who has saved me from all the miseries. You are so merciful knowing that even after my disadvantages of not being able to read, write or learn any of the scriptures you have me as your disciple, I try to listen to lectures, but has been difficult lately... My only sadhana practice is to chant 20 rounds a day and cook bhoga for the lord, nothing else, all these are up to my least capabilities please accept this fallen soul's prayers, although I am an unworthy candidate for your mercy, yet you desire to spread the mercy throughout the world without any hesitation.
Your insignificant servant,
Veda Valli Devi Dasi
