Hare Kṛṣṇa
My most respectable spiritual father,
His Holiness Jayapatākā Swāmī Guru Mahārāja,
Please accept my humble obeisances unto your lotus feet.
All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda.
All glories to your causeless mercy.
Nitai Gauraṅga ki jaya!
Bābā, you are the savior of us all. You do everything for us, day and night—yet what am I giving you in return? Nothing. In fact, I am only giving you trouble. You are suffering because of me, and still, I am unable to do anything meaningful for you.
Please, Bābā, give me strength, so that I can offer you even my every breath. I am so fallen, yet you continue to give me everything. You have given me Kṛṣṇa, and whenever I fall into the grasp of Māyā, you come and rescue me from its clutches.
I am not qualified to receive such mercy from you, yet all I desire is to serve you, Guru Mahārāja. Please bless me, so I can truly serve you and fulfill all your desires, especially those you continue to carry out even in your present physical condition.
You are serving Śrīla Prabhupāda day and night without rest. Still, I humbly beg you—please take care of yourself, because you are our everything.
With love and in service,
Your insignificant daughter,
Tanushree Āryā
Kolkata, West Bengal
