Please accept my most humble obeisances unto Your Divine lotus feet. All glories to Jagat-guru Śrīla Prabhupāda. All glories to your Holiness. All glories to your auspicious appearance day.
As Śrīla Prabhupāda said to you, “I have given you the kingdom of God , develop it.” You have shown by example how a disciple should be to his spiritual father.
A fool like me neither has any word nor possesses any feeling in the heart. So how can I glorify your Holiness? I am just like a small child who is always busy with my own self and don’t even try to realize about what kind of troubles my spiritual father is going through to maintain and protect myself. I beg to Lord Rādhā Madhav to always keep you safe and at His Lotus feet.
I feel extremely fortunate to have such a wonderful Vaiṣṇava as my spiritual father. I beg you to always continue to shower your mercy on this fallen insignificant daughter.
Your insignificant daughter,
Sītā Dayāvatī Devī Dāsī
