Sundara Nitai dasa and Sri Rupa devi dasi

Dear Guru Maharaja,

Please accept our most humble obeisances at the dust of Your divine lotus feet. All glories to Your divine grace! All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

On this auspicious day, we would like to offer some words of glorification. Please accept this meager offering.

While reading Srila Prabhupada Lilamrta, we came across a passage that reminded us very much of Yourself.

“At Tamala Krsna Gosvami’s sannyasa initiation, Srila Prabhupada had given him the sannyasa  mantra, a verse that describes the surrendered, devotional attitude of the Vaisnava sannyasi. Vaisnava sannyasa emphasizes engaging one’s body, mind, and words in ecstatic service to Krsna, as distinguished from the sannyasa of the impersonalists, who speculate on Brahman or sit alone in silent meditation. The Vaisnava sannyasi, by taking shelter of the lotus feet of Krsna, crosses the ocean of nescience and brings others across with him.”[Srila Prabhupada lilamrta, Volume 2, Chapter 38]

While engaging in constant travel in service to and in the spirit of Srila Prabhupada You uplift all You come into contact with, including ourselves. Thank You for accepting the austere service of sannyasa. You have kindly accepted a role as a spiritual master — which You sometimes say is not in Your nature — to turn our attention towards Krsna. We pitiful souls beg to become fit recipients of Your mercy.

Your aspiring servants,
Sri Rupa dasi and Sundara Nitai dasa
