Ananga-mohana dasa and Priti-laksana devi dasi

Dear and Respected Guru Maharaja,

Please accept our most humble obeisances at Your lotus feet. All glories to Your Divine Grace! All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

We, two insignificant souls, are attempting to make a tiny offering to our revered spiritual father. We have seen how a father in this material world brings up his children so lovingly and carefully. You, as our spiritual father, you have done all that and much more! You lovingly planted the seed of devotion in us, carefully nurtured the creeper by providing us devotee association, guidance, training, opportunities, showing by example especially in tough situations and always encouraging us to take up sincere, pure devotional service. We are very slow in progressing as we are too attached to our materialistic way of life. Thank you for keeping us on the devotional highway, even as a slow-moving vehicle, without accidentally exiting the highway—all because of Your prayers and blessings. We desire that we sincerely try from wherever we are, to serve Your lotus feet.

Thank you, Guru Maharaja, for always being there for us, even when we did not notice. Thank you for being so kind to us, even when we were ungrateful. Thank you for your patience with us, even when we are like stagnant water. You are always praying for us, even when we do not approach You. There are big beans in our ears and we pray for the strength to help us clear them so your loving instructions will reach our heart. Your love and prayers are our support! Please kindly keep us in your prayers!

Your aspiring servant,
Ananga-mohana dasa and Priti-laksana devi dasi
