nama oṁ viṣṇu-pādāya kṛṣṇa-preṣṭhāya bhū-tale

I offer my most respectful and humble obeisance’s at the dust of your lotus feet. All glories to Jagad-Guru, Srila Prabhupada and all glories to your loving divine grace.
Happy Appearance Day Dearest Gurumaharaj!!!
There are not enough words to describe how lucky I feel to have your causeless mercy even after being so fallen. Knowing that I have got your blessings and prayers is what keeps me strong in my Krishna Consciousness through challenges and has given me the ability to preach successfully to 2 colleagues at university this year.
Although I hardly get to see you in person, I feel my love for you getting stronger and stronger day by day as I recite your pranam mantra daily whilst offering bhoga in front of your picture and perform tulsi arti circumambulating tulsi 8 times for your protection. Your heart felt lectures and quotes have been my main guide this year and magically enough it seems like your daily quotes and the lectures I choose to listen to are directed to answering my personal questions.
I pray that I can be of service to you this year by helping you in fulfil you promise of distributing a 100,000 books a month for Srila Prabhupad.
I pray to remain a speck of dust at your lotus feet eternally.
Please visit London soon, my heart longs to see you to uplift me spiritually. I hope to visit you in Mayapur every year after finishing my final year at university this year by your mercy and your blessings and to complete the Navadvip Madal Parikrama yearly until possible,
Lots of Love Always,
Your Servant and Sheltered Disciple,
Shreya
