Most beloved Guru Mahārāja, please accept my most respectful obeisances. All glories to Your Divine lotus feet where I beg to remain as a dust particle, just to be able to get the shade of your lotus feet.
Again, so much mercy to be able to send yet another Vyāsa-pūjā letter, even if words do not really justify your quality’s and mercy that you so freely showing to all the living beings that you encounter daily.
I always pray to become a first-class disciple but shamefully I know that I haven’t been even a fraction of a disciple that merits such a Spiritual Master, taking on so many situations and health hazards just to let us see the realities of this material world… Which is birth, old age, disease, and death.
My only stability is my faith In Your Divine Grace, Śrīla Prabhupāda and all of the scriptures which are presented by His Divine Grace Śrīla Prabhupāda.
I listen everyday to his wisdom and presentations, and I cannot find any doubt in my mind that He gave us the perfect solutions, thus saying one of those solutions for me was also finding You as my spiritual master who has so much desire to fulfil Your spiritual master’s desires.
This is my only stability somehow keeping my head above water even if at times I’ve been seriously drowning many times within material desires but finding it all very harshful, foolish and whimsical to remain there for so long as even a second is very dangerous, I know the mind is not easy to control but I keep on trying everyday remembering what you are doing for me, I just don’t want to lose this lifetime of mercy given just because the mind is flickering everywhere. So, I pray please keep me in the shade of your lotus feet so the pangs of material life will then dwindle and then I can really become serious just as the time you asked me day before initiation (so when are you going to become serious) perfect question for me over-and-over again.
Please don’t let me ever forget You, or His Divine Grace Śrīla Prabhupāda’s great mercy upon me in any eternal lifetimes.
For every where I am seeing destruction death and material desires completely taking over this material world on a daily progress. Making it more difficult for the living entities to even become a devotee of the Lord let alone to even remember Him.
Very dangerous world we are living-in, and my only shelter is in the books of His Divine Grace Śrīla Prabhupāda, and my complete faith in You with the guidance and shelter to follow.
Again, it is a great honor to be able to write yet another year for Your Vyāsa-pūjā.
All glories to Your endless devotional services to His Divine Grace Śrīla Prabhupāda.
You are my steady Beacon of light guiding me safely and there are no words to express the gratitude I feel in my heart.
Thank you, Guru Mahārāja for every moment and every guidance you have given me.
Showing me how to actually present oneself as a devotee who is following in the spiritual masters’ instructions.
Your eternal Servant of a servant,
Līlāvilāsinī Devī Dāsī (dīkṣa)
