Dear Guru Maharaja,

By Your causeless mercy I am daily chanting 16 plus rounds. By the causeless mercy of Sri Krsna I have an exalted Guru, Your Holiness.

Gurudeva in spite of the problems being there, remembering You would ease me and I feel happy. I contemplate – how can I please You? I came to know that You will come to Vrndavana this year and that made me happy.

Gurudeva, I do not have devotion and am not a learned person, I only have strong faith that receiving hari-nama from You is very potent. I am realizing the greatness of Your mercy.

Gurudeva Your lectures especially on Dhruva Maharaja have been very inspiring and I long to hear them again.

Gurudeva many devotees are serving You intimately and I take this opportunity to sing glories to all of them.

Gurudeva Your services to Sri Krsna are monumental and I know that this insignificant servant cannot describe them in one lifetime. So much mercy You are giving to the people of this world. Heartfully I can say that you are a great Paramahamsa.

Gurudeva earlier many worldly desires were there but by Your mercy, through Dhruva Maharaja’s lectures they have been appreciably reduced. By Your mercy I wish to improve the quality of my devotion. Sometimes I lament that had Krsna consciousness been from early childhood it would have been so good.

Gurudeva, I aspire that whatever activity I do, first I will remember You and then go ahead.

Thank you very much.

Servant of the servant of your servant,
