Sudama Dāsa Adhikārī

My dearest beloved Guru Maharaja,

Please accept my most humble of obeisances at Your Divine and golden lotus feet. So merciful are you. So one year ago I was struck as though dumb by the glitter of maya's dress thinking this is all in all. Then somehow or other I was fortunate enough to receive your most merciful glance. This glance of yours, these teachings which you teach, all mercy personified. By these you have picked up myself and so many others from the deepest, darkest pits of material existence. For the love that you grace holds for your Guru Maharaja I wish only to fashion my love for you in this way. I do not think that you could have found anyone as degraded in habit and mind as myself and somehow you have mercifully accepted. Somehow you have sent me here to this foreign land to spread those teachings and transcendental sound vibrations. So it is proven, you have traversed here not by physical presence but rather by your vibrations presence to deliver this merciful science to all. So it is proven, one need not understand another's language to communicate this blissful process but simply vibrate those two syllable KRSNA and sing loudly your name. PRABHUPADA SRĪLA PRABHUPADA and the name of GAURAHGA LORD CAITANYA! SO simply is this yet who can ever understand your causeless mercy upon us? As it is stated "The spiritual master is receiving benediction form the ocean of mercy; just as the rain cloud pours water on the forest fire to extinguish it, so the spiritual master extinguishes the blazing fire of material existence." Therefore pray to Gaurahga and Nityananda that we all may remain your eternal servants and to glorify you, for this debt I am owing, is so much great. My only desire is to rejoice in you. And the only pleasure that I have is to see other rejoice and drown in your causeless mercy.

Your most unworthy disciple,

Sudama Dasa Adhikari
