from Jayashri Rasarani devi dasi – Russia, Saint Petersburg

Dear Srila Gurudev, please accept my humble obeisance onto Your lotus feet! All glories to Srila Prabhupada, all glories to You!
My dearest Srila Gurudev, I congratulate You on your birthday, the day when You came to this planet to save the suffering souls from the material existence! There are so many people in the world, but I’m so lucky that You found me and accepted me as Your spiritual daughter, it is the most valuable event in my life! I’m sooo grateful to You, it is Your causeless mercy! You and the Holy Names are my everything, my life and soul, I pray to Sri Krishna to always keep You and Your instructions in my heart! You always inspire me to chant nicely the Holy Names, You even came into my dream to give me an instruction! You were sitting on a chair while Chaturatma prabhu was giving lecture, I came to sit next to You and You called me to ask if we can speak in English. I said that we can. You had a candy in your mouth and You told me: “So, continue to chant purely the Holy Names, I already talked to you what auspicious results it brings.” Then You thought for a couple of seconds and said: “That’s all”. Then I started to cry and woke up with tears in my eyes. I miss You very much… Thank You for not forgetting about my little fallen soul and continuing to give me Your mercy for spiritual practice. And You also inspired me so many times on the Polish Tour. I keep all your conversations in my heart and I wrote them down to remember every word you said to me personally, this is my treasure. My favorite part of the day was chanting Japa with You, I miss that time so much. Sometimes while chanting my rounds, I imagine that You are sitting next to me and also chanting and watching over how I chant, it helps me to chant more attentively. And I keep in my heart Your glowing blue eyes filled with love, which look straight into the soul.
I also admire how much You love Srila Prabhupada and how faithful You are to Him. I admire how You consistently give lectures online, no matter where You are and how busy You are. I admire Your enthusiasm for Krishna Consciousness. I like how You pay attention to children and they love You very much. Thank You for sharing photos and videos on telegram. During Kartika I translated everything into Chinese and sent to the devotees in China, they were very grateful. Also thanks to mataji Sanjivani Radha, who translated videos in Russian, this helped me a lot. But later, unfortunately, Chinese government tightened surveillance of social networks and Mataji Dana Keli had to ask me to not send content for a while. Hopefully I will do this nice service for You soon again. By Your mercy I have also finished the Bhakti shastra course. Thank You for everything my dear spiritual father, I wish You all the best, good health, wish our Polish Tour lasts forever, hope we will meet as soon as possible.

Your servant, Jayashri Rasarani dasi
