Sundara Nitai dasa and Sri Rupa devi dasi

Dearest Guru Maharaja,

Please accept our most humble obeisances at your lotus feet. All glories to Your Divine Grace! All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

We would like to humbly submit some suitable words of glorification to you. Please accept this offering.

In this very rare human form of life, we find ourselves often forgetting the unlikeliness of the opportunity at hand. Yet, the moment we are in touch with the transcendental words you speak, we find ourselves instantly awakened to Reality. You are our undying connection to the realm of Truth, Krsna consciousness. In your example we see what it means to be loyal to Srila Prabhupada and the disciplic line, we see what it means to be always remembering Krsna, and we see what it means to really love someone without borders. And often times as we look on from afar, we find ourselves embarrassed by the astounding difference in effort between Yourself and us.

Yet in every interaction we have with you, we feel you care very deeply for us. Although you have taken the renounced order of life, your conduct allows your disciples to feel a very warm reverence. Your disciples carry this warmth with them in their hearts.

Recently we had the wonderful association of Her Grace Manjuali Mataji. With love palpably overflowing, she described how Srila Prabhupada not only strongly refuted impersonalism with his teachings, but also with the way he treated his disciples. She told us many stories of her very sweet interactions with Srila Prabhupada as if she were his own daughter. As she spoke, it felt like she was describing our relationship with you. Your love has kept the little sapling of bhakti alive in our hearts. You very kindly check in on us to ensure our well-being and even visit our home. Somehow you keep us engaged in little services that connect us with you and Krsna.

Although our desires, thoughts, and material situations are always changing, the one thing that has not changed and will not change is your grace in our lives. We pray that we may forever remember your kindness upon us.

Your aspiring servants,
Sri Rupa devi dasi and Sundara Nitai dasa
