From Gopi Mandala Dasi – Hungary, Debrecen 

Dearest Srila Gurudeva,

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. All glories to you.

I would like to offer my best wishes and greetings on this very auspicious day of your appearance.

Whenever I meet devotees whom I haven’t seen for a while, they often remind me that I’m a disciple of yours. It is so nice to see and hear them glorifying you with shining eyes: how loving and caring you are, what a soft heart you have, how sweet you sing the maha-mantra and how enthusing your classes are. They also comment on the wonderful preaching activities you perform year after year in Poland as part of the tour and the Woodstock festival. I sincerely hope that even during these uncertain times, the Polish tour and the festival at Woodstock will be able to go on, because I know how very important they are to you. It is wonderful to see many devotees working so cooperatively to make sure that your mission can be carried out at this level of standard year after year. I admire these devotees, whose life and soul is to assist you in your preaching year after year. These sincere and dedicated devotees are inspired by
your enthusiasm and their loving relationship with you. I am so happy to be a part of this family. I am very fortunate and grateful to belong to a glorious and inspirational spiritual master like you. I thank you, Srila Gurudeva, for accepting me as your disciple and for engaging my husband in a service at Woodstock every year. I’m not sure what this year will bring, but I hope that we will be able to have your association and opportunity to serve in Poland.

We are thinking of you with grateful hearts.

Your insignificant servant and daughter, Gopi Mandala Dasi
