Hare Kṛṣṇa Dear Guru Maharaj
Please accept my humble obeisances at your Lotus Feet!!
All Glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda and his disciples!!
We in our family, can never attempt to repay the kindness you have showered on us by giving us the opportunity to chant the Holy Names of the Lord over the past 19 years, thanks to your dedicated soldiers who took care of our up bringing in Kṛṣṇa Consciousness, while I was serving in the Gulf. It is only due to this endeavour that we have now remained in Kṛṣṇa Consciousness trying to appreciate the bounty given to each living being by Śrīla Prabhupāda and which is being spread by your Goodself and all your God Brothers.
One factor which I can never forget about this upbringing in Kṛṣṇa Consciousness is that facility of associating with devotees wherever I travelled in the Gulf during my office work, thus keeping me moored to devotional services at all times. This has been made possible only due to your strenuous efforts in spreading Bhakti-vṛkṣa all over the Gulf Countries. All Glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda and Your Goodself, just to ensure that souls like us remain connected at all times.
From my side, I was a little sceptical about continuing this process of Kṛṣṇa Consciousness throughout my life especially after having relocated to India, if I do not get the kind of association which I got in Shyamadesh. However, it was only by the mercy of your Divine Grace that I could get the constant association of devotees by way of the seva opportunities which I got in ISKCON Kolkata, Pune and now in Māyāpur. But for this constant association afforded by your Divine Grace we could have got lost in the mires of the Society around us.
I pray to Lord Narsimhadev that he grant you a healthy and vibrant life so that you are able to serve Śrīla Prabhupada.
Lastly, we in our family wish to thank you for showing us the great fortune and treasure of Kṛṣṇa Consciousness and accepting all of us as your insignificant disciples.
Your insignificant servants
