My Dear Guru Mahārāja,
Please accept my humble obeisances to your Lotus Feet.
Mūkaṁ karoti vācālaṁ paṅguṁ laṅghayate girim
yat-kṛpā tam ahaṁ vande śrī-guruṁ dīna-tāriṇam
paramānanda-mādhavam śrī-caitanya-īśvaram
“I offer my respectful obeisances unto my spiritual master, the deliverer of the fallen souls. His mercy turns the dumb into eloquent speakers and enables the lame to cross mountains.”
On this blessed event of your appearance day, I am filled with a sense of gratitude and wonder. I cannot even imagine what my life would have looked like today, if you had not appeared and blessed us.
With Your causeless mercy you have accepted us as your disciples and tolerated all our ignorance and forgiven our mistakes.
We never felt short of your association in vāṇī, in heart and thought, even though we are not in your physical presence as much. On one occasion, I received an e-mail from you, it was a follow up e-mail sent to all your disciples, the timing was serendipitous! It came at a time when I was looking for an answer on how to improve my sādhana and preaching service. It was like you knew exactly what I needed to hear. Immediately, I wrote a reply to you and within a few weeks you wrote back. This shows how much you care for each and every disciple personally.
In spite of all your bodily discomfort you take special care of your children and never let go of your sādhana or service to Śrīla Prabhupāda. As your disciple, it is my sincere endeavor to follow in your footsteps and serve Lord Kṛṣṇa and Śrīla Prabhupāda. Kindly shower your causeless mercy upon me.
Your most fallen daughter,
Ratnāṅgū Revatī Devī Dāsī
