Anukampa devi dasi

Dear Gurudeva,

Please accept your humble servant Anukampa devi dasi’s most devout obeisances unto your lotus feet. All glories to respected Gurudeva! All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

Dear Gurudeva, on the occasion of your auspicious appearance day, please allow me to offer you auspicious prayers and sincerely wish you a happy birthday! I pray to Lord Krsna and Lord Balarama to bless my spiritual father with eternal health! Fortune is like the East Sea, longevity is like the South Mountain! I will always remember your teachings and try to repay your kindness throughout my life!

Dear Gurudeva, I am already three years and one month old this year, and because of your infinite kindness, my little seedling has sprouted a little bit! I listen to your earnest teachings, and appreciate your tolerance and your protection. When I saw your kind smile so bright and affectionate, it further strengthened my confidence and determination. I will strive to study Bhagavad-gita and purify my impure and ignorant soul with transcendent knowledge. I deeply feel the kindness, love, and protection of Gurudeva towards my fallen and ignorant soul. The sweet dew from your lotus mouth awakens my fallen soul. I did not search for the reason inside, and have been living in pain. I know my mistake. I must turn inward and change myself, living in the present moment.

I am grateful to my spiritual father, grateful for your infinite kindness. Let me always engrave your teachings, shelter. Under your lotus feet, firmly determined to always follow in the footsteps of you and Krsna. Only in this way can we continuously strive forward in the practice of spiritual cultivation, walk confidently on the path of devotion, and go back to home.

Finally, I pray to Lord Krsna to protect the health of my dear Guru Maharaja, and blessings to preach smoothly! Deep obeisances unto your lotus feet again! Always grateful to you!

Your humble servant,
Anukampa devi dasi
