My deepest and humblest gratitude for accepting me as your disciple last September, which was the month of my material birth. Thus, being born again as a servant to you, Srila Prabhupada and Lord Krsna brought a whole new meaning to my spiritual life.
Your presence makes me feel like I’m being protected all the time. Whenever I feel I have a problem or despair, I pray to you and I can feel a surge of energy calming and ensuring me that all these duḥkhālayaṁ is absolutely aśāśvataṁ.
HDG Srila Prabhupada spoke about the symptoms of reciprocal love between the lover and the beloved (Krsna and his devotees) in one of his interviews: give and take, eat and give to eat, disclose your mind and know the other party’s mind. I intend to display at least one of the symptoms to you GM, as you are the representative of Krsna/ Krsna’s expansion energy.
Please bless me, your ungrateful servant to be able to tell others about Krsna-conscious matter without feeling awkward, timid or guilty.
On this 74th Vyāsa Pūjā, I pray to Lord Krsna and Śrīla Prabhupāda that you Guru Mahārāja will always be protected and showered by unlimited blessings and the best of health.
All Glories to Śrīla Jayapatākā Gurumahārāja.
All Glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda!!
Your eternal servant and spiritual daughter,
Ekaniṣṭhā Vasudhā Devī Dāsī,
Dīkṣā Disciple, Malaysia
