Beloved Guru Mahārāja,
please accept my most respectful and prostrated obeisances at Your divine lotus feet.
All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda. All glories to You, who are the refuge of many souls who have been blessed by Your presence in their life.
This day is the most important day in the life of the disciple who lives by the mercy of the spiritual master.
Externally life takes various unforetold directions, still the center and the only stability of one life is the relationship with the spiritual master. No relationship is more important that this one, as You represent Śrīla Prabhupāda, the Guru paramparā upwards to Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa which are our real family.
I see in my life You are the mercy, the center of all the wonderful service opportunities of my life. I have been showered by Your unconditional mercy powder.
Since the first time I met You in my dream, I knew in my heart I was safe and all that came after that, showed You are the most important spiritual relationship of my life…I am so fortunate and happy and joyous to be connected to You.
Looking at You, and witnessing the humility and softness of Your heart is a humbling experience. Whoever has been in Your presence only for a few seconds is blessed. You are splendorous in whatever You do, being pushed by the internal strength that comes from Your desire to serve Śrīla Prabhupāda You are doing what no ordinary human being can do.
I am always silenced by Your perfect Vaiṣṇava behavior even when criticized and when the world is upside-down. I witnessed how for You nothing is more important than love for Guru and Kṛṣṇa, personal recognition, position, prestige, and control have no power over You, and seeing those qualities I bow down at the glory of Your surrender to Śrīla Prabhupāda.
Always, always, always You have Śrīla Prabhupāda and Lord Nityānanda and Caitanya in Your heart… You are my inspiration and the cord that I desperately grab as alone I cannot do anything.
Thank you for accepting my attempts to serve You and the Vaiṣṇava and especially Thank You to be in my life.
My mum wishes You a happy birthday and prays that Kṛṣṇa gives you a long life with good health.
Aspiring to remain at the dust of Your lotus feet in the company of many brothers and sisters.
Your humble grateful daughter and servant,
Ākarṣiṇī Rādhikā Devī Dāsī
