I offer my respectful obeisances unto my spiritual master, who has opened my eyes, which were blinded by the darkness of ignorance, with the torchlight of knowledge.

Dear Guru Mahārāja,
Please accept my respectful obeisances at your lotus feet.
On this special day of your Vyāsa-pūjā, I want to thank you for all the effort you make to serve Śrīla Prabhupāda and teach us through your impeccable example.
I am deeply grateful for your protection and for engaging me in service. I admire you infinitely and humbly beg for your blessings so that I may continue performing devotional service and, one day, be able to please you.
I recently sent you a service report, and wherever I am, I will always continue serving and giving my best.
Your daughter,
Līlāmayi Gaurāṅgī Devī Dāsī
