Vrndaranya devi dasi

Dear Gurudeva,

Please accept my humble obeisances unto your lotus feet.

Every year on this day, I look forward to meeting you and offering my sincerest love.

Gurudeva, Although you are seventy-five years old, you still persist in spreading Krsna consciousness in different countries. I remember the last time you came to Beijing. As soon as you got off the plane, you went to the center to associate with the devotees who were looking forward to seeing you. They could see that you were a bit tired, but you said: ‘It took a 24-hour journey from the United States to arrive in China, and this is the life of sannyasi.’ Tears of love welled up in my eyes, Gurudeva, you’ve worked hard!

Now you insist on teaching the devotees every week, creating exquisite PPTs with easy to understand content, and using your sweet language to narrate the carefree moments of Krsna, as if swimming in the ocean of devotional service. Thank you for bringing us sweet nectar.

Even a thousand words cannot express your daughter’s gratitude towards you. You inspire and guide me with your beautiful qualities and exemplary actions. I will definitely follow in your footsteps, listen carefully to your instructions, and strive to become a true devotee of Vaisnavas. This is the best way to repay you.

Finally, I offer my sincerest obeisances, pray everything is well with you, and wish you good health!

Your daughter,
Vrndaranya devi dasi
