My dear Guru Maharaja,
Hare Krsna. Please accept my humble obeisances at the dust of your lotus feet. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
Maharaja, I am very grateful to you for kindly giving shelter under your lotus feet. SEVA group is formed with your approval and attending classes everyday giving me a sense of connection to parampara. Through SEVA group you are providing me love and care both materially and spiritually. Before that I was just like street dog with no specific purpose in life nor any desire to get something spiritual. Now, with a desire to connect to parampara Sri Satyavrata Prabhu tied a ‘patta’ (collar) around the neck and made me a pet dog. So, I am very thankful to you.
“The spiritual master is to be honored as much as the Supreme Lord, because he is the most confidential servitor of the Lord”. Guru Maharaja you are the most confidential servant of the Lord because you have cent percent faith in the teachings of Srila Prabhupada. Also, you are giving shelter to fallen souls like me. This is causeless and merciful act of yours. Your life is a living example for all of us. You are very expert in extracting the essence and inner meanings of the verses and presenting as per our capabilities. When you speak, it is like a nectar flowing from your lotus lips. You care for everyone whoever approaches or writes to you, you take it with same sense of responsibility and reply accordingly. Your words, “please accept my blessings” gives so much deep message that I feel sheltered. Another line of your reply is “yours in service to Srila Prabhupada”. These six words are not just words, but you live in same consciousness. You accept and give shelter to, whoever approaches to you in mood of taking shelter spiritually.
Guru Maharaja, I have been made so fortunate somehow to have you in my life as father, mother, and everything. Kindly bestows your mercy to this low born to become a servant of your lotus feet and remain there in same consciousness during this life and all lives that may come. Kindly bestows your merciful glance over me so that desire for all kinds for sense gratification burns and I can become pure hearted. The association of your dear disciples and devotees recommended by you would be intact, so that even if I try to run away then they hold my neck and remind me my position as a servant. I also pray that a desire for service should be developed and in future I may be able to serve the mission of Srila Prabhupada. Also, I desire to develop the mood of residing in Vrndavana dhama.
Kindly forgive me for my offenses and please internally reside in my heart.
Your aspiring servant,
Tulsi Ram Sharma
