Dear Guru Maharaja,

Your cooling lotus feet are my shelter and I bow down to them again and again.

Sri Krsna is very merciful because he has given You as my guru. This is my daily reminiscence. Gurudev from the time of taking initiation I am trying to chant the holy name sincerely, as per Your instruction and kind concern. You are very close to Sri Krsna and I beg that You transform me to such a being who can truly become humbler than a blade of grass. I am devoid of any intelligence but with Your kindness and blessings I wish to be rid of all traces and seeds of hankering for false prestige in this world.

Gurudev You are the most benevolent.

Ananta-koti vaisnava-vrnda ki jaya!(Victory to the unlimited crores of Vaisnavas).

Thank you.

Your humble servant,
Vijaya devi dasi
