An Open Letter to My Gurudev

by Archana Ranjan

My beloved father, my humble pranams at your lotus feet. As you depart from this mortal world to your eternal world of immortality and peace, I pray to you with folded hands ! Father, take me with you in your womb! Let me go with you wherever you go as this world is not worth living without you. Remember your promise of taking me to my eternal home? Who knows the way other than you?

When my heart yearns to have a glimpse of you, will I see you within me by closing my eyes?  Teach me to communicate with you in my heart as my thoughts cannot reach you through mail now. Father, visit me often in my dreams! Where else can I see you if not in a dream?  Baba, to say that I am missing you is an understatement, separation from you is unbearable! Father, I am your child and please do not forget me ever! I am your responsibility! I surrender this life in your lotus feet completely! Tan me manah siva – sankalpam astu.
