Lavagna Manjari devi dasi

Dear Gurudeva!

On the day of your auspicious appearance, please accept my respectful obeisances at your lotus feet! All glories to Srila Prabhupada! All glories to you!

It has been almost a year since my initiation and due to ignorance, I have not written to you. I am deeply indebted to you, and I request you to forgive me! It will soon be time for your Vyasa-puja and on this auspicious and joyous day, I sincerely wish Guru Maharaja happiness and well-being! Smooth preaching! All is well!

I have been missing you in my heart, since quarantine you could not visit us in person, yet online association never stopped. Whenever there was a live class, I was putting down other things and concentrating on listening to your transcendental voice, it was so sweet. You are our best mentor, the best disciple of Srila Prabhupada. You come to us like wind and rain year after year never stopping your missionary work. So many of us Chinese children under your guidance get rid of the difficulties and get to see the light again.

O most honorable master! You are like a loving father, caring for the lambs waiting to be fed, and we grow slowly after being nourished by your spirituality.

O most respected Gurudeva! You are the navigator of our spiritual path and an example to the devotees! You have taken SrilaPrabhupada’s teachings to heart, so you are the closest person to me and my most reliable support on the spiritual path. I will study hard and cultivate knowledge while practicing the four principles and chanting the 16 circles every day.

Finally, once again, I wish Srila Guru Deva a very happy birthday! Good luck in preaching!

Your humble servant,
