Rādhikā Śyāmā Devī Dāsī ( - India)

Hare Kṛṣṇa!
Daṇḍavat Praṇāma, Guru Mahārāja!

Dear Guru Mahārāja,

I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for everything you have done for us, especially for accepting me as your spiritual daughter. I never even dreamed that you would address me as your "dear spiritual daughter" in the emails you have sent to me. My heart feels numb with emotion whenever I think about how you have truly accepted me, even though I am not even 0.0001% worthy.

I cherish every eye contact I have had with you. Those ocean-like, deep blue eyes are always filled with love for Rādhā-Mādhava and Gaura-Nitāi, determination to serve Śrīla Prabhupāda, and affection for all your Godbrothers, spiritual sons, and daughters. Whenever I look into your eyes, I feel your love and your desire for me to improve every day.

Your association always lifts me from the depths of ignorance. Whether we associate with you online or in person, we experience immense bliss, and I am certain that this is the real happiness we are all longing for.

Thank you so much, Guru Mahārāja, for staying so connected with us—through your daily Caitanya-śikṣāmṛta classes, weekly Bhāgavatam classes, updates on the app, and your personal responses to our emails. You not only respond to our emails but also to those of His Holiness Gopāla Kṛṣṇa Mahārāja’s disciples. Your enthusiastic blessings—"kṛṣṇair matir astu"—are priceless. I never feel that I live miles apart from you; rather, you are always with me, knowing everything I do.

Guru Mahārāja, I beg for your forgiveness because I am unable to reciprocate even 1% of what you have given me. It is impossible—even if I were to take millions of births, I could never repay what you have done for us. Still, I promise to try my best to please you by serving Rādhā-Mādhava, Girirāja, Gaura-Nitāi, Śrīla Prabhupāda, your lotus feet, and all the Vaiṣṇavas.

I promise you, Guru Mahārāja, that I will:

  • Follow all your instructions.

  • Chant 16 rounds daily.

  • Follow the four regulative principles always.

  • Read Śrīla Prabhupāda’s books daily.

  • Preach to others.

  • Hear your classes whenever you give them.

  • Sincerely serve you with all my heart.

Finally, Guru Mahārāja, I just want to say I LOVE YOU SO MUCH. Not just in words, but I want to prove my love through my actions. I will give my very best to live up to this.

Thank you so much, Guru Mahārāja, for everything.

Your fallen spiritual daughter,
Rādhikā-Śyāmā Devī Dāsī
