Dear Srila Gurudeva,

Please accept my humble obeisances to your lotus feet! All glories to Srila Prabhupada! Happy 71st glorious birthday!

I don’t know what to say so I will speak from the heart. I would like to say thank you for allowing me to come into Srila Prabhupada family, picking me up and dusting me off and allowing me to take shelter of your lotus feet and to become apart of Lord Caitanya movement. I’m most grateful and blessed!

I thank you for being a kind sincere people person who genuinely cares. Thank you for your guidance and blessings throughout the years! Thank you for giving eye contact which means a lot to me. It lets me know that you’re listening to me and your concerned.

I miss you all the time! I wish we (your disciples) could see you more often to get in person association here in the United States.

I do listen to your lectures, listen to your bhajans and kirtans and I still want more association… I am greedy. I thank you for your Narrattom website , Facebook and messenger as a way of getting association with you. Whenever I am down and out and feeling some kind of way, I listen to your lectures, bhajans and kirtans they always pick me up. I don’t do well with Love & Separation. When I see you at Sadhu Sanga briefly I already anticipate for the next years Sadhu Sanga! We always have a blissful time there dancing, singing and taking wonderful prasadam.

I thank you for your service and dedication where you actually visit every Country, Town, City, State preaching about Srila Prabhupada, Sri Krsna and Lord Caitanya’s pastimes and movement giving the Holy Name to everyone.

Whenever I do receive a message, email from you my heart just melts! I’m always elated to hear from you and get your association and guidance. I know you have told us your disciples many times that you read our emails, text, messages but you will not respond.

Happiest Birthday Srila Gurudeva I hope you have an amazing Vyasa Puja Celebration! Hare Krsna!

Your loving disciple and well wisher, a servant of a servant, of a servant, Syama Priya Dasi
