Respected Guru Maharaja,

I offer my humble obeisances unto your lotus feet on this auspicious day of your divine appearance. All glories to you Maharaja. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

Ten years ago, I had an opportunity to get acquainted with you in the yatra. Because of your mercy I am attending the yatras every year. Recommended by Krsna Sakti Mataji, you magnanimously accepted me as your disciple.

Despite inconveniences and your health condition, you are conducting these yatras for our benefit. You always explain to us about the importance of the service attitude. You are compassionately arranging the translation of your lectures in various languages for us to understand the messages. In spite of your tight schedule, you spend time with us and give us the opportunity to express our understandings.

I am thankful to Mataji, who is explaining to us the messages of Srimad-Bhagavatam and Srimad Bhagavadgita daily.

I pray at your lotus feet that I follow your instructions strictly, be able to attend yatras in future years, chant the holy name without offense and attend Mataji’s classes regularly.

Maharaja, please accept my humble obeisances.

Your servant,
Balai devi dasi
