Hare Krishna Guru Maharaja,
Please Accept My Respectful Obeisances,
All Glories To Srila Prabhupada,
All Glories To Gauranga Mahaprabhu.
All glories to your auspicious appearance day. I pray regularly for your good health, fitness and speedy recovery to Lord Narasimhadeva. Your causeles blessings showered me with tremendous mercy and I am saved from the clutches of birth and death. I am aspiring to receive Krishna Prema with your blessings.
It's been a year since I visited Shri Dham Mayapur for the first time and got your blessings and also got acquainted with the mission of Shri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu more deeply. I feel very fortunate as you have accepted me as your dearmost disciple though I have many faults and try to rectify them with your instructions. Daily, I read and listen to your transcripts and video's and lectures and it has enlightened me very much in my devotional life. Now I am beggining to understand that spiritual life is the real life whereas material life without God-centered is hopeless and has no meaning. I am getting up early and chanting 16 rounds regularly without fail and also chanting gayatri 3 times daily.

I migrated to Australia to lead a pious life and was not God Conscious as I was thinking that earning money and living a rich lifestyle is the goal of human life. Somehow by Your causeless mercy I came into touch with ISKCON and the devotees association changed my perceptions towards my lifestyle. Your blessings led me to receive the seeds of the creeper of devotional service. Guru Maharaj, I have understood that Bhakti is the rarest of the rare jewel and even the great demi-gods are unable to attain it. By the grace of Srila Prabhupada and our previous Acharyas, it is easily accessible and received. Guru Maharaj, Please bless me so I can get progress in the path of devotional service and can contribute to the movement of Lord Chaitanya established by Srila Prabhupada.
At the present moment, I am working as a Mail -Officer contractor at Australia Post and using the Lakshmi in Krishna's service. I am regularly listening to Your lectures and also your god-brother H.G. Charu Prabhu who resides in Spanish Fork, Utah, his lectures which changed my spiritual life incredibly. Without both of your association, I would have been totally entangled in this material life births after births. Guru Maharaj, as you know, I was diagnosed of Blood Cancer in 2017 and now I am completely cured and I make a point to visit the doctor every 3 months. Without your blessings I wouldn't survive such a setback and in one of your lecture, you mentioned that, "A setback is a set-up for a comeback". Please bless me so again and again I can get your association and I never commit any apradha's in devotional service. Bless me so my consciousness remains intact and steady and always remain in the association of devotees and I can experience Krishna Consciousness bliss unlimitedly all the time.
To conclude, Gurudev I am in touch with your daily news and transcendental pastimes which makes my spiritual life more exciting and there is never a dull moment. I am still reading your books and it makes me more conscious of one's relationship with Krishna and dealings with Vaishnava's since all of us are on different platforms of devotional service. I know one thing for sure that your presence in my life have changed my perception towards spiritual life and I am happy about it. Please bless me so I can progress in my spiritual life, see the good in every soul and serve everyone sincerely. Please bless me so I can learn Deity Worship and deepen my spiritual practices. Please also bless me so I can visit different temples and communities and learn more about Krishna Consciousness and broaden my spiritual outlook and perspective.
Thank you very much,
Your Lowest Servant,
