Dear spiritual father, Jayapatākā Swami Ācāryapāda, the devoted son of our beloved Gurudeva Śrīla Prabhupāda, all glories to You on this Vyāsa-pūjā celebration!
Please accept my humble obeisances to Your lotus feet! I am very thankful, that Kṛṣṇa’s unlimited mercy through Nitāi-Gaurāṅga’s saṅkīrtana mission keep me under Your, His dear bhakta’s, merciful guidance. I beg the Lord to help You to fulfill all Your transcendental desires, plans and doings for the benefit of the conditioned souls and to allow me also to take part in it.
This year I published two books (in Latvian language) about myself and my husband’s living and service in West Bengal, Māyāpur project (1997-2001): West Bengal terracotta Temples and Ramus in West Bengal - my stories, also about Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura, Śrīla Prabhupāda, Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu, Vedic knowledge.
There were published my articles in our Kṛṣṇa consciousness magazine Rasa (in Latvian and Russian languages). With support of friends and well-wishers I organized an exposition of my husband’s (Mādhava Prema Dāsa) paintings in one of Riga’s center galleries thus giving chance to devotees to preach in the very midst of Riga, the capital of Latvia. There were kīrtanas, lectures as well as the distribution of prasāda.
Now I am 64 and, if Śrī Kṛṣṇa wills, time has come to return back to my real home Śrīdhāma Māyāpur. I will left my house for the devotees, to engage it in service for Śrīla Prabhupāda’s ISKCON mission.
In Māyāpur I will continue writing articles for the magazine Rasa will send photos and tell about the devotional life in India, West Bengal, Māyāpur.
Also I want to make a project of small terracotta Temple and drawings for exterior terracotta plates for it, so that devotees from all around the world could take this project and build this Temple to spread Gaurāṅga’s mission.
Thank You so much, dear Gurudeva, for Your eternal shelter, inspiring, joyful, unlimited creative energy in the Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa’s colorful pastimes! With hope to return in Śrī Māyāpur and to see You again eye to eye,
Your insignificant devotee,
Audārya Dhāma Devī Dāsī.
