Nārāyaṇa (Kṛṣṇa sādhaka) (Bangalore, Hare Kṛṣṇa Hill Temple - India)

Dear Gurudeva,

Before I joined ISKCON, I was a regular visitor to the temple for over five months. Once, when you were visiting the Bangalore temple, I saw you during the Sunday programme. I listened carefully to your Gītā lecture. Although I do not understand English, it was very pleasing to hear from you. Then I felt a strong impulse to join the temple & engage in your service. Now, by your mercy I am in the temple. Please bless me so that I do not go towards māyā again. All that I desire is to remain serving your lotus feet birth after birth.

Although I do not understand English classes in the temple, I desire to reach Kṛṣṇa, simply by serving you and chanting the holy names of Kṛṣṇa. Gurudeva, please be merciful and grant me Hari-nāma dīkṣā and saffron dress so that I can preach the glories of Kṛṣṇa’s name more and more. I need your mercy for this.

Just as a dog faithfully serves his master, I wish to remain your dog feeding on the dust of your lotus feet.
