Sikhandini devi dasi

Dear Gurudeva,

Please accept my most humble obeisances! All glories to Srila Prabhupada! All glories to Srila Gurudeva! All glories to your divine auspicious appearance day!

Dear Gurudeva, happy birthday! I miss you very, very much. On such an auspicious day, I don’t know what kind of beautiful words to use to praise you and honor you! It is your infinite mercy that saved me from the swamp of material suffering, and bestowed upon me, the most depraved and unworthy person, the privilege to become your disciple! You pointed me in the direction of returning home, giving my wandering heart a place to rely on. Dear Gurudeva, when I think back on the little moments we spent together, my lips smile and my heart fills with joy, but at the same time, tears of longing also accompany me. Every time I think of you, my longing for you will increase by one point, and I miss you immensely!

Dear Gurudeva, the path of spreading Krsna consciousness is not smooth, full of unknown obstacles and dangers, but you are never afraid, never stopping. You have perfectly fulfilled the wishes of Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu and the mission of Srila Prabhupada, spreading the holy name and absolute truth of the Lord to all parts of the world! You have demonstrated the causeless kindness and perfect qualities of a pure devotee! You are my guiding light, and I will always remember your teachings, conscientiously provide every service, and be an obedient disciple!

Dear Gurudeva, I devoutly pray to Lord Krsna, Gaura Nitai, and Lord Nrsimha to fully protect you preaching smoothly, and wish you good health!

Your daughter,
