Hare Krsna, my beloved Guru Maharaj.
Please accept my most humble and respectful obeisances to Your lotus feet.
All the glories to You and Srila Prabhupada.
The recurrence of Your glorious Vyasa Puja is a very important event for all of us, as it is through Your unconditional mercy that we can access the pure chanting of the Holy Names and the pure devotional service to the lotus feet of Guru and Gauranga.
During this past year many things have happened but in any case I have had the utmost mercy to serve You in different ways, practical and intellectual, trying to keep spirituality and heart sincere.
Your presence next to me is constant. You are in my thoughts, in my actions, in my clumsy way of doing or saying things. And I see with the eyes of the heart the expressions on Your face. And then I can't do anything else but smile, thanking You, and continue with greater joyful seriousness.
When some difficulty appears, You arrive with a quote, a photo, with Your Maha Prasada, made also and above all of Your instructions given with great generosity during all your classes.
And then I start to laugh alone, happy, incredulous, confident but aware, having once again had the confirmation of Your presence next to me, as to each of us.
And then your words come back to me:
"The relationship between Guru and disciple is a heart to heart relationship."
Each period of our existence is full of events, but in this intense period, I am learning a great deal, above all from Your example, to remain fixed and determined in the spiritual devotional commitment. You are my strength, my inspiration, constant and inflexible determination, unalterable faith in the face of circumstances.
The real Acarya, from which to learn, to follow, to serve, my only refuge and support. You are my eternal well wisher and the debt to You is priceless ..... so, with great pleasure, I will have to serve You for eternity ... !!! hahaha
Every day I have proof that through Srila Prabhupada, Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu and Sri Nityananda Prabhu empower and guide You in the race for the salvation of all conditioned souls, because Kali Yuga is advancing very quickly.
I can perceive the urgency and Your compassionate desire, and constantly You are giving instructions and directions so that all of us, your spiritual children, we develop the sensitivity of heart and morals, the intellectual abilities to be of real useful to You, not only children to be accompanied by the hand and instructed, but conscious devotees, aware, on the way to maturity, hence of growth and spiritual realization.
Allow me to always remain firmly in the shelter of Your lotus feet and even a bungler like me can do it.
.... there is no other way, there is no other way, there is no other way ....
Thank You very much!!!


Your eternal servant
