Dear Guru Mahārājā
I pray for your good health on the auspicious day of your birth. I am chanting 8 rounds a day. I ask for your blessings so I can chant more. I am not able focus on the spiritual path. Oh! Dear spiritual father please save me from the oceanic bonds of family. The only place where I am able to focus on bhakti is the temple. I am only a servant, oh Guru please give me advice. I want to join the Gurukul in Māyāpur. I am helping in doing abhishek to matsya shaligram shila every consecutive days. I am trying to read Prabhupāda's and your books, but I am not able to understand what is written in them .
Oh Guru Mahārājā, I want to progress in bhakti. I once again pray for your health to Kṛṣṇa Balarām .
I wish I could see the same Guru mahārāja who walks boldly with his danda in his hands, who I have only heard and seen from my parents, devotees and pictures. I ask for forgiveness if I have done anything through my deeds and my speeches. I am ending this personal letter with prayers.
From your servent ,
