Adhoksaja dasa, Deepika, Gopika, and Gaurasundar

Dear Guru Maharaja,

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada! All glories to you on this most auspicious day of your appearance!

There is nothing I can actually offer you that has any worth as you already possess pure Krsna-bhakti which is the only thing that is of any real value anyway. I can however, make a humble attempt to try to wholeheartedly take this process of Krsna consciousness that you have given me, as seriously as possible, working towards trying to make my every, thought, word and deed, one that is pleasing to you.

I am most fortunate to have found shelter at the lotus feet of a bona fide spiritual master. Krsna has kindly manifested Himself to me in the form of boundless and fathomless mercy. Although I am a fool and a rascal, I have been blessed with the essential advantage of Sri Guru whom I must serve. It is the perfect system – service to Sri Guru will bring spiritual advancement but more important is the attachment to His lotus feet which is a sweet, loving relationship. Sweet, loving personal relationships are the natural food of the soul and help to get it unhooked from the poison of sense gratification. Thank you, Srila Gurudeva. By your grace I understand so many things and am able to share it with others despite my disqualifications. And I see the real love flowing. If you forever keep me as your humble instrument, I will never have anything else to ask for. When will I serve you perfectly? I count the seconds but I am sure that time will come eventually, if I am serious and if it is your wish.

Your aspiring servants,
Adhoksaja dasa, Bhaktin Deepika, Bhaktin Gopika and Bhakta Gaurasundar
