Nitya Acyuta-priyā Devī Dāsī ( - India)

Hare Kṛṣṇa. Daṇḍavat-praṇāma, Guru Mahārāja.
Please accept my humble obeisances.
All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda.
All glories to you, Guru Mahārāja.

Dear Guru Mahārāja,

First of all, Guru Mahārāja, I want to thank you for accepting me as your disciple—even though I am so fallen and sinful. I was not at all deserving to have a Guru like you, an eternal associate of Śrī Gaurāṅga and Nityānanda. Śrīla Prabhupāda himself named you the Victory Flag of Kṛṣṇa. I do not know what pious act I performed to deserve having you in my life.

Whenever I see you, I get goosebumps because you are always surrounded by a divine aura. When you look into my eyes, it feels as if you have scanned all of my impurities, and after seeing them, you still mercifully bless me so I may become purified of them.

You are my greatest inspiration. Your determination to serve Śrīla Prabhupāda is unmatchable. The way you are constantly engaged in serving him, caring for your spiritual sons and daughters, fulfilling your responsibilities toward ISKCON and the GBC—it all leaves me speechless.

I desire to serve you, but I am so fallen that Māyā always tries to pull me down. Yet, one thing I know for certain is that you have accepted me, and to please you—which is now my foremost duty—I will work hard.

I promise you that I and my family will eternally serve you. I will follow all your instructions: to chant at least sixteen rounds daily, follow the four regulative principles, and read Śrīla Prabhupāda’s books.

Thank you so much, Guru Mahārāja.

Your fallen spiritual daughter,
Nitya Acyutā-priyā Devī Dāsī
