Seva devi dasi

Dear father, Romapada Maharaja，

On the occasion of your Vyasa-puja, please accept my humble obeisances.

Dear Father, you came to China this time to visit us–older disciples of yours, and when I saw you, I felt an incomparably happy knowing that you remember me. I’m your unfit child, and you still care about me. It also satisfied my heart’s desire to see you. You are the savior of fallen souls. It is you who brightened my eyes with knowledge. Set me on the path of Krsna consciousness. Solved the mystery inside me: Who am I? Where am I going? By study and listening of the sastra, I know that I am Krsna’s eternal servant and your child. You showed me the relationship between body and soul. I’m not this body, I’m a soul.

Your presence among us this time has given me the greatest encouragement and strength. Strengthened my resolve on the path of loving service – forever! Dear father Maharaja, you are my beloved Lord, who can lead our fallen souls through the sea of life and death. With your mercy, the nectar of God’s love fills our hearts. Dear Father Maharaja you are truly an acarya and a faithful disciple of Srila Prabhupada. You are our true spiritual master. Outside, we have your help, encouragement, and mercy. Inside, we have Krsna who protects us. Under the care of Srila Prabhupada we adhere to the four basic principles of ISKCON. We try not to forget the original intention and keep our vows. Never wanting to let you down, always thinking of you as my father and spiritual master.

Please bless me, kindly let me always think of Krsna, say Krsna, and never forget Krsna! Remember Krsna when I die. Let me serve you forever as a speck of dust under your lotus foot.

My dear father, Romapada Swami Maharaja, wish you the best of luck, happiness in this Vyasa-puja and preaching smoothly.

Your incompetent disciple,
