Karthik, Mahendri and Damodaran

Hare Krsna Maharaja,

Please accept our humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

The first time I saw you was at the IIT Krsna Talk session. I had never seen a sannyasi in person before that. I had no idea about anything; Krsna consciousness and everything related to it was completely new to me. However, I could feel a sense of reverence and respect toward you. That was how my journey in Krsna consciousness began, and by your mercy, I am still holding on.

This past year has been particularly challenging for Mahendri and me. Things were thrown at us, whether we were ready or not. Nonetheless, we have felt the loving support from you and all your disciples in the Chicago congregation. We are truly grateful for the classes, retreats, and home programs. We feel they have played a significant role in sustaining us through everything.

Thank you for being there for us. We sincerely hope we can be of service to you and to all the devotees who are so kindly nourishing us.

Yours sincerely,
Karthik, Mahendri, and Damodaran
