My spiritual father Romapada Swami,
I deeply bow down to your lotus feet!
I am delighted to take the opportunity of Vyasa-puja to write to you! It is an honor to hear you enlighten me and share so much about the pastimes of Krsna. It has benefited me greatly and made me more focused while chanting! On the occasion of your birthday, I sincerely wish you a happy birthday! At the same time, I borrow an ancient poem to bless you:
Everlasting as the moon, rising as the sun.
Like the longevity of Nanshan, never losing or collapsing.
You are like pine and cypress, flourishing forever, inheriting blessings and longevity from you.
–The Book of Songs, Xiaoya, Tianbao
Once again I offer deeply humble obeisances unto your lotus feet, Romapada Swami!
Respectfully, please enjoy your peace!
Your disciple,
Bhakta Kangbao
