My Beloved Guru Mahārāja, Śrīla Jayapatākā Swami,
Please accept my most respectful and humble obeisances at your lotus feet. On the occasion of your blessed Vyāsa-pūjā I take the opportunity to thank Your Grace for coming to this particular material world and fight against Maya to rescue as many souls as possible, thank you for accepting me too among those many souls. Even if Māyā is very strong and confuse me and allures me, still you character is so marvelous that force to remain awake to Kṛṣṇa consciousness. Please, if you so desire, forgive my lethargy and take control of my mind allowing me to do some useful service at your lotus feet and at the lotus feet of your wonderful master His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Śrīla Prabhupāda.
Eternally grateful and praying to remain your servant always,
Your unqualified disciple,
Devakī Rūpa Devī Dāsī (Dīkṣā),
