Five years have passed since you have given me initiation. In these five years what have I done to please you? Even though it is said that a disciple can never repay his spiritual master but the conscience says that one must do whatever the disciple is able to do. Gurudev I am at present (46years of age) living with my mother near Simhachalam, Andhra Pradesh, but I feel that unlike my other Godbrothers who serve you closely I am not doing so. Gurudev I was bewildered about life and then by Sri Krishna’s mercy You have come. Then the window of spiritual world opened. By knowing your life story (which I may now also call as pastimes) awareness of sanity has come, even though I do not claim to have realized that sanity in total. This small jnana I believe is a great escape route from the abyss of material madness. A trillion thanks to you. Gurudev only a few times I had your personal Darshan, mostly in the Temple hall and on a couple of occasions at the penthouse atop the Chakra building. Gurudev I am forever indebted to you. Nowadays especially I am feeling separation from you. I pray to Sri Krishna that I get a chance to have your Darshan and take an instruction from you to follow. I pray to Sri Krishna that you are always in bliss. Your servant forever, Ishtadev Damodar das.
