Devamira dasa and Sravaniya devi dasi

Respected Guru Maharaja,

Hare Krsna! Please accept our humble obeisances at the dust of your lotus feet. All glories to Srila Prabhupada and all glories to Your Divine Grace.

On this auspicious occasion of your divine appearance day, we pray to Lord Jagannatha to empower us to express from our hearts with utmost humility and sincerity, the gratitude we hold for Your Divine Grace.

As time swiftly rolls by, we are realizing the immense wealth of your instructions and training received through your recorded lectures, heard in the association of sincere devotees.

We are also amazed to be the recipients of such selfless care and the association of genuine well-wishers, both being extremely rare opulence in this material world. The tolerant and compassionate association of Jagadananda Prabhuji and Ananda Vrndavana Mataji keeps us on our toes in imbibing your instructions.

We are slowly but surely realizing the rare gift of Caitanya Mahaprabhu in terms of having loving relationships with all devotees including our spouse. It takes no effort to spoil a relationship and years to build a strong one. Your entire life is a striking example of how a disciple should maintain a grateful relationship with the spiritual master. Your life long dedication to Srila Prabhupada, your eternal father, well-wisher and guide is the benchmark for us struggling souls.

We seek your blessings to follow in your footsteps and have such a strong relationship with you our divine spiritual master, well-wisher and guide. Definitely, this is not going to happen until and unless we stop struggling in or spoiling our relationships with devotees. We need to keep our priorities focused and work for loving relationships in all spheres of our life, with a singular aim to develop a grateful relationship with you, our eternal father.

On this occasion, we also seek your blessings to realize our actual position as tiny souls whose only purpose in life is to serve the desires of Sri guru and Krsna. Please bless us that we can come out of our selfish ignorance and without any trace of fear simply dedicate our lives in your service.

With deepest gratitude,

Your servants,
