Prana-priya devi dasi

Happy birthday, my spiritual father!

Please accept my humble obeisances. Your lotus feet are the residence of pure loving service, and I am eager to keep them in my heart and remember them in all my activities.

When I was most confused and bewildered, you gave me confidence through transcendental knowledge and inspired me to do devotional service. When I was hesitant and helpless, you gave me the perfect arrangement. Under the loving guidance and help of your sincere, hardworking and obedient disciple Tunga-vidya Mataji, and loving association of the devotees, I feel very lucky to have opportunity to do continuous devotional service.

When I encountered difficulties in the service due to my false ego and ignorance, it is you who gave me hope, strength and courage.

I am not qualified. I am proud and ignorant. But you have given me transcendental knowledge, love, and encouragement through your causeless mercy. Your profound instructions are full of strength. I can never repay for your kindness and mercy. Therefore, I am eager to follow your instructions throughout my life. I will continue to learn from Tunga-vidya Mataji and unswervingly perform my duties as your disciple. I will try to become a qualified disciple, perfect my life, and please you through service.

I wish you good health and success in spreading Krsna consciousness. I will try my best to grow and become a good instrument in your service.

All glories to you! All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

Hare Krsna!

Your daughter,
