My Dearest Guru Mahārāja,
Please accept my the most humble and loving obeisances.
Almost every disciple being at the certain state thinks that his Gurudeva loves him more than anyone else in the world. It happens due to the guru’s ability to know the heart of the disciple and give him exactly what his heart needs.
Sometimes it seems that there is no limit of your love. There is no edge of Your capacity to sacrifice yourself. There is no point where you can stop, saying: “This is enough! I gave out enough!” No matter what is the response you continue to give.
Because sometimes it’s really not enough. Sometimes a small hole turns up to be a deepest well and you need all love in this world to fill it up. But even then You do not stop giving. This is how much love is in Your heart.
You planted a seed of love and devotion in my heart. The land was dry. And there was not much growth in the beginning. But You didn’t seem to be disappointed or frustrated. You just kept watering the sprout with Your endless care and affection. You observed its growth, giving nurture and protection it needed. This if how much dedication and faith you have. This is how much you believe in Your disciples. You never give up. Always having hope, ready to give Your encouragement and support.
I do believe that guru is a form of Kṛṣṇa in a disciple’s life. And the biggest gift that You gave me being my guru is the sense of Kṛṣṇa’s presence in every aspect and in every moment of my life. You showed me His charisma, His wit and tricks. You showed me His wisdom, foresight and gumption. You showed me His love, affection and care. You made me feel totally enveloped with His gentle support and guidance, which gradually lead me to His adobe as His eternal servant. You filled my heart with gratitude, with faith and hope. You filled up every single hole in it, making it capable to feel love and give back.
There is nothing in this world that can bend or break my firm faith in Kṛṣṇa and You, my dearest Gurudeva. Nothing can turn me away from You or from the path I’ve chosen. Nothing can withdraw my attention from the only desire I have – to be a Kṛṣṇa’s servant life after life after life and make You happy with every step I make.
Today, on the auspicious day of Your appearance, I offer You my innumerable obeisances, wishing You to continue Your loving Mission in this world with all possible success and appreciation. I wish you to continue be a perfect, loving and profound guide for all Your disciples. I wish you to continue spreading The Holy Name with the same level of purity, sincerity and dedication that You constantly show by all Your actions and teachings.
May the Divine Couple, Śrī Śrī Rādhā Kṛṣṇa be choosing You again and again to be an ambassador of Their glories and an embodiment of Their love, wisdom and beauty.
With lots of love and gratitude,
Your spiritual daughter,
Murāri Sevinī Devī Dāsī
Initiated disciple
