Dear Gurudeva,
Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda! All glories to Śrī Guru and Śrī Gaurāṅga!
Wishing you a very happy 74th Vyāsa-pūjā celebrations dear Guru Mahārāja.
I would like to take this most fortunate day as an opportunity to express my immense gratitude for being your disciple.
Though I am simply a mercy case in your hands Gurudeva, and I have no eligibility whatsoever to even glorify you and your lifetime contributions to the mission of Caitanya Mahāprabhu, but simply for my own purification I would like to express a few broken words.
You are unfathomable Gurudeva, you are “na bhūto na bhaviṣyati”. Its not possible for a normal human to function with so many ailments least to mention about the extensive preaching you do and travel to bless so many souls.
Your zest for preaching to conditioned souls, to bring them to Kṛṣṇa consciousness yena kena prakāreṇa cannot be matched.
You are exemplary Guru Mahārāja, so many countless souls that you have delivered and are delivering in spite of unstable health conditions, is a proof that your purpose and desire to serve Śrīla Prabhupāda’s instruction is so strong and filled with dedication.
You are a true representative of Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī, just the way She is extremely merciful and doesn’t see the qualification of anyone approaching Her, you shower the rain of bhakti to those who approach you.
I am trying to serve you in whatever insignificant way I can Guru Mahārāja and I offer any good that comes my path as glory to you. It’s only because of your mercy that I have been receiving mercy in unimaginable ways.
I owe my entire life to you and I pray I can imbibe some of your characteristics, just to make you proud of me.
I pray to Śrī Śrī Rādhā Mādhava, Aṣṭa-sakhis, Śrī Śrī Prahlāda Narasiṁha, Śrī Śrī Pañca-tattva and Śrīla Prabhupāda to bestow upon you best of health so you can effortlessly fulfill all the instructions given to you by Śrīla Prabhupāda and I pray to Them that I become an insignificant instrument to help you in your mission to Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu.
Please accept my most revered obeisances Gurudeva,
Life after life I wish to remain as your dedicated disciple.
Your insignificant Spiritual Daughter,
Nīla Rādhe Devī Dāsī
