from Amrita Gopi Dasi – United States, Los Angeles

Dear Srila Gurudevа,
Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada! On the occasion of your Vyasa Puja, I want to glorify my Spiritual
Master by sharing a few of his personal qualities that to me solidify his position as Guru and pure devotee.

He is the best example of Vaisnava and such an inspiration of what I as his disciple must aspire to demonstrate in my life. My Guru is fearless in his preaching. He has travelled to all corners of the world tо deliver Krishna Consciousness never stopping at obstacles that would have most of us turn back.

My Guru is always eager to serve Srila Prabhupada and carry out his instructions. He has a laser focus that has never faltered all these years to preach boldly. My Guru is so attached to chanting the Holy Name that not one class he gives leaves out that important instruction to keep chanting no matter what.

My Guru has demonstrated repeatedly his dedication to his disciples through his distribution of recorded classes and instructions and his classes are scholarly and entertaining. My Guru’s enthusiasm to share Vrindavan pastimes is legendary. His commitment to the people of Vrindavan and the place Vrindavan cannot be disputed.

My Guru’s instruction to me was to serve the devotees of New Dwaraka. I have done this to the best of my ability. I pray that although I am not worthy, I might continue to serve you eternally.

Your insignificant disciple, Amrita Gopi Dasi
