My dear Guru Maharaj,
Happy 71st Vyasa Puja!
O Gurudev, I couldn't have been more fortunate to have had my Vidyarambham sitting on your lap with you personally holding my hand and writing my first words with me.
Just like how a baby feels cozy and undisturbed from the world around her while sitting on her father's lap; I have always found warmth and security in your presence and those qualities reflected in your disciples that is my seniors and parents.
You gave me love for Gauranga and I am constantly overwhelmed over how grateful I should be for having your presence in my life.
You spent more than a year, here in Chennai and now when I think of it, I deeply regret those days and chances I had when I didn't take advantage of your association seriously.
I now very badly want to compensate for all those times that I took things for granted and would do anything to help you in preaching the glories of Gauranga and distributing Shrila Prabhupada's books!
Last year on Nithyanandha trayodashi, you gave this undeserving soul shelter. I desire to get initiated in this sixteenth year of my life.
You're the epitome of mercy and I pray and ask permission from my heart that you accept me as your loyal servant who is desperate in being connected to the Parampara by being your sincere disciple.
Your eternal servant
