Hare Krishna Guru Maharaj,
Dandavat pranams at your lotus feet and please accept my humble obeisance. I am one of those thousands of fortunate souls who got initiation from you because of your causeless mercy and trying my level best to keep the promise I gave during initiation.
I try to be in devotees association as much as possible so that I do not get distracted to material things. I spend more time in rendering service, taking BV class, listening to lectures and kirtans. However, I spend little time on reading that I will try to improve in the coming days. I do my chanting regularly though my concentration level is poor because of the conditioned life but I have the desire to keep the chanting going and I am sure with your mercy one day I will get the real taste of chanting.
Last year, unexpectedly I got the opportunity to do Vapu seva for one night to your lotus feet while you were in Dubai. At that time, I realized the amount of pain you are taking because of fallen soul like me and to take us back home back to godhead. It is very difficult for me to do anything even when I get a small headache but the amount of pain you are taking to distribute Krishna to everyone is beyond words. I cannot forget that night since it was eventful for me as you were holding my hand when I was checking you oxygen level, got opportunity to apply medicine to your lotus fee and cleaning your personal medical devices etc. In addition, I could personally witness your enthusiasm to carry out the hectic schedule you have. It was surprising that you slept hardly for few hours and at the same time doing the chanting even while you were sleeping but got up early and went through the 200+ initiation names matching everything based on the candidate desire and to the respective spouse name as well. Unfortunately, I could not speak with you that night but I am sure you would have noticed the fallen soul rendering a small service to you.
It was because of your causeless mercy I got that opportunity which is very rare to get and hope I get one more opportunity in the future to serve your lotus feet. I beg for any offenses I have done and request for your blessing to advance more in Krishna Consciousness.
Hare Krishna
Your humble servant
