Dearest Gurudev
Please accept my humble obeisances at the dust of your lotus feet. Srila Prabhupad ki Jay!
Last year in Kartikji Parikrama I had the best fortune of personally taking your Darshan! That was the best day of my life and my dream coming true.

Gurudev you are known for your humongous and amazing festivals attracting 100,000s of souls, for your most melodious kirtans, for your divine deities worship, and for many more uncountable qualities and things
Out of various qualities of yours the outstanding quality was your humbleness!
I saw you taking to the localities in Vrindavan with so much of love and affection. It doesn’t matter to you, which sampradaya or community they belonged to, you see Krishna as super soul in everyone.
Even with your God Brothers and God Sisters you would always give them the opportunity to do kirtans , to give lectures. Always give them so much of respect and love.
There were so many challenges in the yatra, but you would always be so cool and patient. You handled all the situations so positively. Thank you Gurudev for teaching us so many important Vaishnava qualities through your dealings in various situation.
Gurudev your lectures are amazingly enlightening and blissful! We get a glimpse of how everything is at Goloka, which helps me go in my Krishna Conscious journey. The hidden gems that you have in your lectures are the most precious gift of my life!

Gurudev you have been serving Srila Prabhupada’s mission over 53 years , tirelessly travelling across the globe, blessing every jiva with Krishna’s love, You could have easily stayed at Vrindavan do your research and give us the wisdom, but no for neophytes like us you take so much of pain and trouble of travelling and preaching around the world.

Gurudev, I sincerely pray to Lord Narsimha to protect you and bless you with long and healthy life and that you are able to preach till your last breath.
Today and always Srila Gurudev I pray for your mercy to become human and humble, to follow in your footsteps, to stay in this material world like how a lotus lives in a pond of mud!

Your daughter and insignificant servant
