Respected Maharaja Ji,

I pray this meets you in all good health.

By the mercy of His Divine Grace Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada I got Your mercy. This is Sri Krsna’s blessing. And by Your mercy I am able to chant Hare Krsna maha-mantra. I offer my prostrated obeisances at Your Divine Lotus Feet. I also take this opportunity to glorify and heartfully offer my obeisances to all the Vaisnavas who are closely serving You.

Maharaji, I am clearly noting the difference after becoming Your disciple. For me You are like an avatāra of Sri Krsna. In spite of whatever difficulties, I have, I pray that You bless me to advance in bhakti, for the only real happiness is in Krsna consciousness. On Ekadasi tithi I am chanting more japa and I feel happy.

Sri Krsna’s lila’s are unlimited so is also Your mercy. I do not know how best can I express my gratitude to You. I am always meditating on Your Lotus Feet.

Thank you.

Your servant,
Vijaya dasi
