Dear Srila Guru Mahārāja,
Please accept my most respectful obeisances at your lotus feet.
All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda.
All glories to Your Divine Grace.
All glories to saṅkīrtana mission of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu, which Your Divine Grace have so nicely assimilated, practiced, and preached in spite of all odd and even phases of life. Your very life breath is nothing but epitome of Kṛṣṇa consciousness. Your mission of appearance is only to revive bhakti in the lifeless living entities of Kali-yuga and to give them the key of real treasure of love of Godhead. You have just appeared to assist Śrīla Prabhupāda in this purpose.
On the material plane, small children naturally worship their father, but as they grow up, they manifest their own desires and pursue their own path. But the blessed child of a learned father learns to deeply love, and to follow, his worthy father. You are a perfect example of such worthy son following your glorious eternal father, Śrīla Prabhupāda.
As your spiritual children, let us boldly prove, by your kindness, that Supreme Lord’s merciful rain cloud of saṅkīrtana can extinguish all the blazing fire of sufferings in this material existence thereby save every innocent soul, and put the demonic ones to flight.
How fortunate we are to have you as our eternal father, for your spiritual qualities truly have no limit. There is no end to your purity and depth, your simplicity and honesty simply stirrs our hearts to realize that the solution to all our problems is to listen seriously to your instructions and obey them. As I grow older, I see more and more that all I could ever desire is to follow in your footsteps.
Only by your mercy, we may transcend our internal conflicts among devotees and co-operate with each other and develop Vaiṣṇava qualities. I simply aspire for those transcendental qualities, I see in Your Divine Grace.
Thank you so much for your kind blessings and prayers,
Praying to be useful in your mission, I remain,
Your eternal servant,
Revatī Ramaṇa Dāsa
