Dearest Guru Mahārāja
Please accept my loving obeisance to Your lotus feet. All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda. All glories to this happiest day when we can glorify Our Spiritual Master.
Today Guru Mahārāja I would like to show my gratitude to You by offering this poem I have written for You
I walk confidently behind You
on the battlefield of Consciousness
for You are Prabhupāda's Victory Flag
no other realization is more true
Gloriously beating the Bṛhad-mṛdaṅga
of Lord Gaura Hari's mission
You show me the importance of
Śrī Nāma and Vaiṣṇava Saṅga
After dying a million deaths alone
I now have the golden chance
to worship Gaura Nitāi and go home
simply by receiving Your merciful glance.
Today and always I pray to be of some use to You in Your service to Śrīla Prabhupāda.
All glories to You on Your Vyāsa-pūjā
I remain,
Your spiritual daughter,
Nanda Gopī Priya devī dāsī,
Durban South Africa
