Dear Guru Maharaja,
om ajnana-timirandhasya jnananjana-salakaya
caksur unmilitam yena tasmai sri-gurave namah
Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada and unto You.
When I started writing to You, I was nervous as to whether you would reply or not, and I would continually check my email to see if you had replied. When I finally received your email, I was utterly shocked. Your response was extremely sweet and filled with Your love. Your first email filled my heart with excitement, and I was immensely happy and encouraged because of the words that you had written for me.
Maharaja, since I have started writing to you, I have felt that your instructions have helped me through my Krsna conscious life. Especially with starting school, managing time has become really difficult. Having your instructions and the guidance of my elders has been helping me through my devotional life, and I hope that they take effect as I continue following through. This year has whooshed past, and is already coming to an end. I have felt that I have changed a lot as a person. After the amazing experiences at TSI and meeting with youth from different areas of the US, it has definitely changed certain ways I take things into account.
Maharaja, your blessings always remind me to stay strong and pull through. Your encouraging email responses make me want to improve and to do more, and Your smile is always present as a sign of approval for doing something well. Maharaja, please give me your blessings so I can continue with full force on this new journey that I have started upon. I hope that I can continue with full force and always stay strong, and this will only be possible with your blessings. You have always been very encouraging, sweet, and kind to me. You have also always been a big part of my life and supportive of my decisions.
Maharaja, thank you for all the love and the support you have given to me through all our interactions, and all the encouragement from your emails.
Your aspiring servant,
Kirti Shekhawat
