From Chanchala Sri devi dasi

Dear Shrila Gurudev, Take my bows.
My first encounter with Krishna was about 30 years ago, when I heard you sing a maha mantra.I don’t remember how, but I got a musical cassette tape in my hands where you sang.
I could and can listen to your singing for hours and now, thanks to this first meeting, I have been waiting for you all these 30 years, and all because I felt an unspecified connection with you and what you are singing about—Krishna.
Music and now painting, this is my language, for the projection of my thoughts and feelings against this world and thanks to you and Krishna, this world has become colorful for me.

I have been waiting for you so much, Gurudev and you have been so gracious to me, that in this 2022 year on May 1, you have accepted me into your family and given the beautiful name of Chanchala Sri Dasi, which gives direction to the rest of my life.
I have been waiting for you, my dear Gurudeva.
On your day of appearance, I want to wish you health, strength, a lot of kirtan and love for all those whom you are very dear to.

Your Chanchala Sri Dasi
