My Dear Guru Mahārāja,
Please accept my respectful obeisances.
All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda!
All glories to your unconditional mercy, patience, and care!
On this most auspicious day, I would like to express my humble gratitude to you—for decades of guidance, your kindness, tolerance, corrections, unparalleled mercy, and for saving my life.
While I genuinely feel completely inadequate, I will try my best to write this Vyāsa-pūjā offering.
What can I possibly say? You have set the highest standards of preaching, dedication to service, and unwavering determination in serving your spiritual master, His Divine Grace Śrīla Prabhupāda, with so much love and expertise.
No one has endured what you have, while still maintaining deep care, unwavering focus on helping others, and fulfilling countless other services.
By your mercy, I am still engaged in service as a mentor, helping devotees navigate their spiritual and material lives, as well as performing pūjārī service. I am also reflecting on how I can serve even more, expanding my current engagements to be of greater use in Śrīla Prabhupāda’s mission and your service.
I will never be able to fully comprehend just how magnanimous you are, but I accept and have faith that something extraordinary is unfolding—something beyond this world.
Please kindly pray for me to have the intelligence to improve myself, the determination to transform all bad qualities and habits into ones useful in service, and for my heart to properly open and receive all your blessings with sincerity.
Thank you so much.
Your spiritual daughter,
