My Dear Guru Maharaj,

It is very difficult for me to describe the feelings of love and gratitude for the opportunity to engage me in devotional service to the Supreme Lord. You have so much enthusiasm and determination to please Srila Prabhupada and Krsna. By your own example you are teaching me how to become a good devotee. Simply by meditating on you, I am more and more inspired in my service. Taking the opportunity of this auspicious day of your Vyasa-puja I would like to thank you for protection and mercy which you are giving me. I think I have unlimited debt to you and I would like to find a way to pay it off. I am praying to the Lord for intelligence to understand clearly all your desires and serve you by carrying out your instructions.

Your servant,
Desabhasa devi dasi
