Hare Kṛṣṇa!
All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda!
Dearest Guru-Mahārāja,
please accept my most respectful obeisances at Your glorious lotus feet on this most auspicious day of Your appearance – You who are very, very dear to everyone and most dear to my heart.
Many years ago, I asked: I want to get to know Lord Nityānanda. Reply: Read Śrī Caitanya-Bhāgavata. At that time there was not yet any book - Śrī Caitanya-Bhāgavata, but Brāhma-muhūrta Prabhu BBT-NE was kindly providing me an out print of the whole Śrī Caitanya-Bhāgavata. So I began reading and thus found that this would be just great for our Radio Kṛṣṇa. While sharing this with our Radio Kṛṣṇa prabhu, he became enthusiastic and I started to translate the whole thing and later made it into many Radio Kṛṣṇa programs to record and to broadcast. Therefore, during quite some time, I was swimming in the ocean of Gaura-līlā, which also included writing theatres and songs for our Hare Kṛṣṇa Centre Temple Festivals.
Now, so many years after, due to Your outstanding compilation service, regularly hearing from Your Gaurāṅga/Nityānanda loving heart and lotus mouth, again I am given such a golden opportunity. What could be better! All glories to You, who keep this little soul regularly bathing in the ocean of Gaura-līlā!
Always hoping for Your mercy and blessings.
Your spiritual daughter
