[Chaitanya Charitamrita, Adi-lila, 1.35]

Dear Srila Gurudev,
All glories to you. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
According to the shastras, on this auspicious day it is said to praise the spiritual teacher in spirit of devout reverence. Allow me
to express my gratitude to you. Vedas say, it is impossible to ever repay the spiritual master entirely for all the mercy he pours onto his disciples. Thank you for all the love and care for us, your disciples.
Being at such an advanced age you render so much service to Srila Prabhupada: worldwide preaching, supporting initiated disciples, accepting new ones and candidates, helping God brothers, leading parikramas in Holy Dham, organizing Indian Festival in Poland…
During all this hard quarantine times you kept on supporting us through your nectarian lectures. They are filled with wit, spiritual love and are within the capacity of any intellectual level. There are many real life examples, as well, without which it would have been difficult to perceive some Sanskrit terms and meanings. There is so much nectar in your lectures that one wants to listen to them nonstop.
Thank you for teaching us by your example, behavior, speaking. It makes one want to handle, act, serve just like you do. Thank you for such vivid parikramas and lectures, revealing Vrindavan and pastimes of Shri Radha and Shri Krishna so deeply.
Although I don’t have an opportunity to visit your festivals and parikramas nowadays, yet while listening to the lectures, I feel being near you, feel your fatherly care and warmth. Filling themselves up with your spiritual love, one wants to share it with others, wants to be a tool in your hands. Thank you for your guidance in my spiritual life. You are the most merciful representative of Lord Nityananda. I ask for a chance to serve you eternally.

Your servant, Ananda Gopi Dasi
