Dear spiritual father,
Please accept my obeisances. Koṭi-koṭi praṇāma.
Still, I have not received dīkṣā from you; I have not even received caraṇa-āśraya.
On Śrīla Prabhupāda’s appearance day, I received the aspiration (ākaṅkṣā) for your lotus feet. You know I am the only one following this devotional path in my home, so until now it has not been possible to receive dīkṣā. But by your and Gaurāṅga’s mercy, one day it will be possible.
Yes, I have not received dīkṣā, but I know that the moment I accepted you as my dīkṣā-guru (spiritual father), you accepted me as your spiritual daughter.
Please give me your mercy so that I may develop on this path of bhakti in such a way that you will never feel misery in accepting me as your spiritual daughter.
Śrīla Gurumahārāja, I want you to always stay with me. I always make mistakes. I don’t know anything. I hurt others all the time. So please scold me.
I want to serve you. Please, please, please give me your service. Give me the opportunity to serve you and the Vaiṣṇavas.
Your servant,
Iśā Adhikārī
Raniganj, Āsansol
