Premananda devi dasi

om ajnana-timirandhasya jnananjana-salakaya
caksur unmilitam yena tasmai sri-gurave namah

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

Dear Guru Maharaja,

On this most auspicious day of your divine appearance, I offer my most humble obeisances at the dust of your divine lotus feet and seek your mercy so that I can always remain as your eternal servant. A servant whose heart is full of gratitude, a servant who constantly gives full credit to Your Divine Grace for everything auspicious that is happening. A servant who is free from false ego and always indebted to you for keeping me engaged in some service that purifies my heart and existence. Real love is in serving and pleasing the spiritual master on the spiritual platform. I have been striving to attain that perfection in this lifetime. Guru Maharaja, I pray with all my heart that you shower your mercy upon this fallen conditioned soul so that I can experience that divine love in this lifetime.

Offering my most humble obeisances at the dust of your divine lotus feet,
Your servant,
Premananda devi dasi
