Dear Guru Maharaja,
Please accept my humble obeisances at the dust of your lotus feet.
I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for giving me shelter at your lotus feet and including me in the family of Srila Prabhupada. I can’t imagine how my life would have been if I would not have been part of ISKCON and had not started devotional service to Krsna. I was haunted by anarthas and was preparing for hellish life.
I still have a long way to get rid of my anarthas but I am confident that the path I chose under your guidance, will get me completely purified. I am very much indebted to you. I am very much inspired by your dedication to the mission of Srila Prabhupada.
On this blessed day of Vyasa-puja, I humbly pray that I may remain forever at the shelter of your lotus feet.
Your servant,
Gopavrindapala dasa
