Jaya Govinda dasa and Tulasi Priya devi dasi

Hare Krsna dear Guru Maharaja,

Please accept our humble obeisances. All glories unto you! All glories unto His Divine Grace Srila Prabhupada!

Our prostrated obeisances unto the feet of Sri Sri Radha Nila Madhava for keeping you in good health during the past year and our humble entreaties to Them to keep you in good health for the upcoming year as well.

On this auspicious occasion, we offer our heartfelt gratitude to you for everything that you have done for us, and for all that you continue to do. You are an inspiration to us through the example you set for us in your service to your beloved Guru Maharaja, His Divine Grace Srila Prabhupada!

man-mana bhava mad-bhakto
mad-yaji mam namaskuru
mam evaisyasi yuktvaivam
atmanam mat-parayanah
[Bhagavad-gita 9.34]

In his purport to the Bhagavad-gita 9.34 Srila Prabhupada has written: ‘One should cultivate the knowledge of Krsna continuously. What is that favorable cultivation? It is to learn from a bona fide teacher’. We therefore pray at the lotus feet of Sri Sri Radha Nila Madhava tobe able to  express our gratitude to Srila Prabhupada for giving us such a wonderful, exalted, and bona fide teacher like you. By ceaselessly serving and following the exemplary example set by you in the service to guru, Sri Krsna, and the devotees we are benefited.

With gratitude.

Your servants,
Tulasi Priya devi dasi and Jaya Govinda dasa
