Dearest Guru Maharaja,

Please accept our humble obeisances. All Glories to your Divine Grace! All Glories to Srila Prabhupada!

It is time again to celebrate the greatest fortune of being a part of your family! Time to celebrate the magic in the pages of Srimad-Bhagavatam which you have unlocked for us in your countless seminars throughout the year. Time to celebrate the deep ocean of Krsna’s holy name which you help us go deeper and deeper into. Time to celebrate the countless ways in which you show us Krsna is real and how we can feel Him. Time to celebrate the beautiful family you’ve created with many Godbrothers and Godsisters who hold us close and help us take another step. And most of all time to celebrate having a space in your deeply caring heart.

On this auspicious day we pray for the strength to share these amazing gifts and to welcome others to also join Srila Prabhupada’s family. We pray for the strength to weed out pride, anger, and greed which cause us to turn away from your loving gifts. We pray for the strength to never cause pain to such a loving heart. 

Thank you for holding us so dear and for never giving up on us. Thank you for always being there for us Guru Maharaja.

Your aspiring servants,
Yasodanandana dasa and Syama Sakhi devi dasi
