Guru Mahārāja,
Please accept our obeisance at your lotus feet. On the most auspicious occasion of Vyāsa-pūjā, we are offering this letter at your lotus feet. It is our fortune, though not qualified but with so many anarthas, you have given a place under your lotus feet and accepted us as your disciples and in the darkness of this material world showing a path leading to the Godhead. I felt that how merciful Kṛṣṇa is that He connected me to you and how much compassionate you are that you accepted us as your disciples. All these are the super arrangements of Kṛṣṇa. I have read that after bathing in the waters of the sacred Ganges, one becomes purified but just by the site of you the fallen souls like us are purified. This is your power and the power of devotional service which we are trying to learn in the association of devotees.
Gurudev, out of your causeless mercy my entire family consisting of my wife and two children are following Kṛṣṇa Consciousness. Three of us have been accepted by you as your disciple for which we are indebted forever. Recently, on the 10th of March you have given shelter to my son Kṛṣṇa, who is eager to accept you as his spiritual master, so that we all together, being your children will try whatsoever we can, for spreading Kṛṣṇa Consciousness. Without your mercy and blessings, we are nowhere and can do nothing. With all our hearts, we pray for your blessings to grow more and more in Kṛṣṇa Consciousness and spread the same to some extent.
Praying for your good health.
Praying for the dust of your lotus feet.
Your Spiritual Son and Daughter,
