Daṇḍavat Praṇāma Gurudeva,
I, Maṇibhīṣita Rādhā Devī Dāsī, your spiritual daughter, wishes you a very Happy 75th appearance day on this auspicious day of Kāmada Ekādaśī. Guru Mahārāja, with your mercy and blessings, I am able to worship Our Gaura Nitāi, Jagannātha, Baladeva and Subhadrā at home. I always had this wish that you could visit Sydney and our home. However, you came in my dream along with His Holiness Bhakti Cāru Mahārāja, that you visited my home, but the home which I saw in dream was my India home and not in Sydney. I was involve in the services of helping Vaiṣṇavīs and with your mercy I did the service of Vaiṣṇavīs gathering for nearly 6 months, while in these gatherings, we did kīrtana, listened to Śrīla Prabhupāda’s lectures and discussed points from the lecture. There were few mātājīs who were new, started chanting and willing to visit temple. Along with Vaiṣṇavī’s services, I am also a Sunday School teacher teaching little kids. During these classes, I teach kids chanting, importance of mantra, narration of any pastimes of Lord and then kids activities related to the Topic. During the festivals Sunday school also
organizes activities related to the topic. Last year we did Kids Janmāṣṭamī and with help few mātājīs, we also set Drama name ‘Killing of Agāsura’ which was played by kids age from 5 years to 7 years old. With passion to dance for the pleasure of Lord, I also performed one dance narrating appearance of Śrī Śrī Rādhā Ramaṇajī. All these services are not possible without your blessings, which you have been showering unto me every day, every moment. During Kārtika Month, I happen to visit India and dhāmas such as Jagannātha Purī, Māyāpur and Pāṇḍarapura. During my visit to Māyāpur, I had this strong desire to meet you personally, just to purify myself as I am conditioned with all material desires, however because of strict rules, I was not able to meet you personally. However as always you are merciful, I saw you every day while having Bhīṣma Pañcaka prasāda and during Caitanya-caritamṛta evening classes. One of short interaction I would remember is, While you arrived at the Gītā Bhavan I was just standing in front of you taking your video, you Waved your hands to me… I convinced myself and wished that you would visit Sydney, so I can meet you personally. Then in evening class you mention, You want to visit Australia as my disciples want my association. Secondly While my last day of the class at Lotus roof top, you started giving class on Separation and how the Lord was in separation. Thank you so much Gurudeva for listening to my mind and mood.
Lastly, I pray to Śrī Śrī Rādhā Gopīnāthajī, Śrī Śrī Rādhā Mādhava Aṣṭa-sakhi, Pañca-tattva, and Lord Narasiṁhadeva to always shower their protection and help you in spreading Kṛṣṇa consciousness to the whole world. Thank you, Gurudeva, again for reading this offering.
Your Dīkṣā Disciple and Spiritual Daughter,
Maṇibhuṣita Rādhā Devī Dāsī (Sydney, Australia)
