Dayakeli devi dasi

Dear and most respected Guru Maharaja,

Please accept my humble obeisances at the dust of your lotus feet. All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

Happy Vyasa-puja, Guru Maharaja! On this auspicious day, I wish to express my deepest gratitude for you through this offering.

I would like to start by saying how grateful and fortunate I am to have been under your shelter and to have had your blessings since childhood. I am a fallen and lost soul, yet you have accepted me as your disciple. To this day, I can replay the special moments I had with you from my initiation ceremony. September 2021 will always be a heartwarming memory for me. I feel like you knew my heart and also knew when it was right for me to take such a huge step in my life.

Taking this step has allowed me to take on various services. I was able to help coordinate FOHN 2021 and also be an emcee for the Houston japa retreat 2021. Both of these service opportunities have taught me so much. I also remember being able to help serve you lunch one of the days you were in Houston. I love being engaged in services to You, Srila Prabhupada, Krsna and all the Vaisnavas.

The words “thank you” do not do justice to the amount of gratitude I have for you. You have taught me wonderful lessons and values through your classes. You have given me the most valuable gift of being your disciple and have showered me with blessings since I was a child. I would be nowhere without any of it.

Without your mercy, I am nowhere. My faith in Krsna is constantly growing stronger with you by my side, guiding me through the waves of the material ocean.

Thank you so much Guru Maharaja for accepting me as your disciple. I am forever indebted to you; my life is nothing without you. I am beyond fortunate and grateful to you. I will promise to always serve Krsna, Srila Prabhupada, You and the Vaisnavas.

Your aspiring servant,
Dayakeli devi das
