Dear Guru Maharaja,

Please accept our humble obeisances in the dust of your divine lotus feet. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

We have been seeing your causeless love extended to us in our lives and also in the lives of other devotees. There have been many such instances for our own edification. We have been meditating on one such instance. Our youngest daughter Hamsika wanted to present a sweater to you. Upon receiving it, on the same day in the next hour you were giving a class at a home program. You happily were wearing the same sweater. We were really amazed and touched at the same time by your display of love We resolved to reciprocate to the best of our ability in various services that we are fortunate to perform unto you.

We get an opportunity every year to serve at the Memorial weekend retreat and despite many insurmountable challenges, by your mercy and blessings we have been able to perform the service. The number of services that we are blessed with to perform throughout the year also keeps increasing. We take it as your blessing. There are times when we feel overwhelmed and we think about the amount of services that you undertake for the pleasure of Srila Prabhupada. We derive strength and determination by looking at you as our role model.

The more we engage in services, the more purification we experience and it leads us to face the truth that we are so unqualified to practice bhakti and these numerous services. The main solace is that being engaged in these services is purifying us. Please accept our heartfelt gratitude for the personal guidance, training and knowledge you kindly bestow on us. We are hardly able to capture and implement a tiny percentage of it. Our prayers at your divine lotus feet on this wonderful occasion of your auspicious appearance day to be consistent in our spiritual practices and strive to improve in a way that is highly pleasing to you.

We pray to be in an eternal loving relationship with you filled with services.

Thanking You

Your servants,
Jayanti devi dasi and Raghunandana dasa
