Nandini devi dasi

Dearest Maharaja,

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada and to you, Gurudeva, at the time of your Vyasa-puja.

As each year passes I have learned how my appreciation for our Lord Sri Krsna, and for you my spiritual master, continues to grow. You do so much traveling, spreading the words of Krsna as they have been passed through the parampara, as well as keeping in touch with all of your disciples. This is beyond what most individuals could accomplish. But you seem to never tire, Maharaja, and I know it is because of Lord Sri Krsna’s grace and that of your own dear spiritual master.

I have called upon you many times this year, asking for your prayers, and want to pass along how grateful I am that you were always there. Knowing you were reaching out gave me a great feeling of security, hope, and comfort. Chanting as you have taught is very powerful, and you have shown this over and over by example.

I also would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your travel to our temple, as it is always joyful to see and hear from you during these visits. Although I listen to you on your website, it is very special to be a witness to your knowledge in your lectures face-to-face.

As I have said many times, getting to know our Lord through the relationship of a spiritual master and disciple has enriched this lifetime, and I am here to serve you as you direct, Gurudeva. Without serving you and Lord Krsna, one’s life is just emptiness. May I always receive these blessings.

Always your aspiring servant,
Nandini devi dasi
