Respected Guru Mahārāja,
Please accept my most respectful obeisances at your lotus feet.
All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda!
All glories to you!
Today is your divine appearance day and like others I also look forward for this most auspicious day of the year. For an animalistic and envious person like me there was no hope of deliverance. I really wonder if you were not there who would come forward to take my charge of bringing me back to Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa.
Day by day I’m realizing my degrading condition but the more your compassionate nature. You still are there for me, wanting me to have a little desire to surrender.
Yesterday only I was reading an article written by Śyāma Rasika prabhu where he shared your amazing nature of compassion where you allowed an old man for initiation who cannot remember Śrīla Prabhupāda and your praṇāma-mantra. Another time you protected one of your servants from direct sunlight in the car. You are naturally so protective for everyone. You graciously accept all the pain and trouble on yourself, protecting us behind.
I cannot thank you enough for all your sacrifices, prayers and protection for me as my heart is very hard. Kindly bless me Gurudeva so that I become a surrendered soul unto you.
Your Disciple,
Īśvarī Lalitā Devī Dāsī
