Medha devi dasi
Dear respected Romapada Swami,
My beloved Guru, my spiritual father, please accept my humble obeisances. Please allow me to bow down at your feet and offer my sincerest best wishes.
The passage of time is fleeting and filled with sweet memories of you. Little by little, as clear as if it were right in front of us. I remember starting from October 2020 when I met Tungavidya Mataji and was introduced to bhakti-yoga. Through her recommendation, the photos on the altar, and your online lectures, I gradually enriched my understanding of you. It was so warm and friendly, like a mountain, with a feeling of trust and reliance like a father. I am immensely happy to receive your reply offering shelter. I have received the prayer beads you sent me and I chant on them every day. This is the precious gift received from you touched my heart. In my mind, I bow down to you time and again in my dreams.
In July 2022 in Beijing, at the airport, the moment you opened the car door and got into the car, you stood in front of me and I saw your warm gaze, full of love. I was happy beyond words. I always remind myself to strive to be a useful tool and do a good job in service. This was my first time seeing you and serving you. I am meticulous and clumsy in my efforts to provide excellent service in front of every individual. I feel the incomparable happiness and sweetness of my father by my side. After seeing you off, every little detail of the past few days had been so clear, and I remembered every word in your reply. I feel that having these things in my short life is satisfying and pleasurable. I will use all my time and life to serve you and your instructions, listen to the teachings of Tungavidya Mataji, and serve the devotees well. I am so lucky to be able to associate with you in Hong Kong this year and receive your blessings to study the mrdanga. I am so happy.
I sincerely pray for your good health, as well as for myself to serve well. I pray that you and the Lord will bestow upon me pure dedication and service, so that my fallen soul can make spiritual progress. I also pray that you can bless every devotees in our Beijing Vrndavana center. Without your kindness, we cannot do anything. We love you.
Your fallen daughter,
