Akincana Krsna dasa

om ajnana-timirandhasya jnananjana-salakaya
caksur unmilitam yena tasmai sri-gurave namah

I was born in the darkest ignorance, and my spiritual master opened my eyes with the torch of knowledge. I offer my respectful obeisances unto him.

Dear Guru Maharaja,

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

Gurudeva, I would like to take this opportunity on this most glorious day to thank you for all that you have done for me. What little spiritual advancement I have made is due to your kind guidance through your digest, lectures, and your personal instructions. It never ceases to amaze me the level of enthusiasm with which you are able to constantly preach, travel, and inspire others all over the world.

You have a better vision of myself than I could ever have and I hope one day to be able to follow your instructions with an “open heart and an eager mind” and to help you in some small way to fulfill the mission of your spiritual master.

Please allow me to always remain at your lotus feet, in the association of those who serve you.

Your servant,
Akincana Krsna dasa
