Dear spiritual master, my eternal father,
Please accept my most humble obeisances in the dust of your lotus feet. All glories to Srila Prabhupada! All glories to your divine auspicious appearance day!
Dear Gurudeva, I don’t have any precious gifts to offer to you. At this moment, I can only translate my heart, soul, and love and longing for you into words and offer them to you.
Through the causeless mercy of Krsna, I met you on the 50th anniversary. I was lucky to get your shelter. Dear Gurudeva, I know I am not qualified to be your disciple. It is Your infinite kindness to not disdain my humility and still accept me as your disciple. I am so lucky, all because of your incomparable kindness. Dear Gurudeva, your love, patience, and spirit have illuminated my dark self. Let me emerge from the darkness with your radiance.
Thank you, dear Gurudeva. You are the representative of God and the representative of Krsna. Only by following you can we find our way home. Thank you, dear Gurudeva, I will always follow you.
You always consider the well-being of your disciples and do not give up any opportunity to serve Srila Prabhupada and the mission of Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu. When my mind cannot focus or when I am afraid I always think of you and I become unafraid and move forward bravely.
Dear spiritual master, my eternal father, on this auspicious day, I pray that Lord Nrsimha protects your preaching, and wish you good health!
Your humble servant,
Tara devi dasi
