Dear Gurudeva,
Please Accept My Humble Obeisance's Unto Your Lotus Feet.
All Glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda !! All glories to you!!
Your Vyasa-Puja is such a wonderful event because it gives many people the opportunity to do the most important thing in the whole universe: the adoration of the Vaishnavas!
I am too fortunate to have an opportunity to write to you on the auspicious day of your appearance.
Thank you Gurudeva for picking me up and showing me that there is something higher than temporary material so-called pleasure. Words cannot express the deepest gratitude I feel for being a recipient of your causeless mercy. Under the dark veil of ignorance I was rotting away in material life, becoming increasingly more degraded. Through your causeless mercy, your deepest compassion for the fallen souls of Kali-Yuga, you lifted that dark veil and revealed the light of transcendental knowledge. I will be forever in your debt Guru Mahārāja.
I am trying and moving towards mission of this life of service and distribution of the knowledge to other people in the form of conducting Bhakti-vṛkṣa’s. At present I am independently handling one Bhakti-vṛkṣa and overseeing other 3 Bhakti-vṛkṣa Groups.
Guru Mahārāja, kindly bless me so that I can contribute considerably to the Mission 2020 of 500 B V Groups by 2020.
As I meditate upon you today, Gurudeva, it's clear to me that in order to truly help myself and others, and in order to truly please you, I must strictly follow your instructions, and strive to become the example you require for your mission.
Aspiring to become your unconditional servants,
