Hare Kṛṣṇa, dear Jayapatākā Swami Guru Mahārāja!
Please accept my most humble obeisances. All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda and Guru Paramparā!
Dear Parama-Gurudevā, my name is Guṇamālā Rādhā devī dāsī and I am your spiritual granddaughter - spiritual daughter of His Grace. Caitanya Candra Caraṇa Prabhu.
Due to causeless mercy I have been given the opportunity to write this offering for your most auspicious Vyāsa-pūjā. I humbly beg your pardon since my inexperience will be the reason for my simple statements in this letter, which are nevertheless sincerely coming out of my heart.
Dear Parama-Gurudeva! Your Vyāsa-pūjā is a great festival for all your disciples and grand disciples, as well as for all the living entities on Earth. I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude for your unlimited fatherly love and protection, compassion and mercy, which each of us receives in inexhaustible quantities. You are the embodiment and example of uninterrupted, unmotivated, loving devotional service.
Please allow me to thank you from the core of my heart for creating and bringing up my spiritual father, my Gurudeva - Caitanya Candra Caraṇa Prabhu! Human words are helpless and too pale to express the depth of my love, gratitude, trust, faith and devotion to my Gurudeva! You are the perfect example for what it means to love and trust one's spiritual master and to be ready to do anything for him. You are the perfect example of mercy, compassion and love for all the living entities. You are the perfect example for humility and forgiveness. And your spiritual son, my Gurudeva, has inherited those qualities from Your Holiness and has been doing his best to pass them on to us - his spiritual children, his disciples.
My heartfelt thanks to you for all this. I most humbly beg your pardon since I am not able to enumerate in this offering of all of your transcendental qualities - they are innumerable.
I would like to wish you something, but I am contemplating on what could a conditioned soul like myself wish to Your Holiness - a dear most personality to Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa... Nevertheless, with your permission I would like to wish you a good health, which to support you in your service to the mission of Śrīla Prabhupāda and Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa Caitanya.
Your servant,
Guṇamālā Rādhā devī dāsī
