Ramananda dasa and Jaya Laksmi devi dasi

Our dear worshipable Guru-Maharaja,

Please accept our humble obeisances in the dust of your divine lotus feet. All glories to Your Divine Grace.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

namah om visnu padaya krsna presthaya bhu-tale
srimate romapada svamin iti namine

mukam karoti vacalam pangum langhayate girim
yat-krpa tam aham vande sri gurum dina-taranam

Guru Maharaja, this is the auspicious time to glorify you. You have been very kind to these fallen souls. You are adhama janara bandhu and always distributing the Krsna-prema to everyone including fallen souls like us.

Honesty and humility are very essential qualities of the disciples. In Bhagavad-gita 4.34 Lord Krsna said that by submissively inquiring and rendering service to the spiritual master one will be able to know the truth. If the disciple is honest with his spiritual master, then he will be able to progress in Krsna consciousness. This year we have been working on this topic. And also realizing that how Krsna was merciful upon us that He sent you in our life even though we don’t have any qualifications. You have shown Srila Prabhupada’s teachings by your own example. You are Srila Prabhupada’s true disciple. You have taken instructions of your spiritual master as a life and soul and continuously serving to his mission without failure. We are very thankful to you for arranging different kind of spiritual retreats, Yatras etc. We are very thankful to our mentors His Grace Jagadananda dasa Prabhuji and Her Grace Ananda Vrndavana Mataji for fulfilling our needs on the path of Krsna consciousness. We are very thankful to your many disciples for their help in the progress of our Krsna consciousness.

We are certainly fallen and seek your blessings to remain attached to the dust of your lotus feet, with love, for the rest of our life, and life after life.

Your aspiring servants,
Ramananda dasa and Jaya Laksmi devi dasi
