Hare Krishna Guru Maharaja
Dandavat Pranam
Happy 72nd Vyasa Puja
Please accept my humble obeisance’s,
As you know this year there has been a lot of change, personally as a result of lockdown and social isolation, depression and anxiety has been on the rise for me and others of my age, however I have found that listening to your classes on Chaitanya Charitamrita helps a lot with my mental health. Rewatching your old kirtan video where you are jumping around to the tunes of kirtan while vigorously playing the whompers rhythmically always seems to bring up my spirits. Guru Maharaj I have nothing but a gratuitous life to offer in your service, for if you had not taken the initiative to preach with so much dedication, I wouldn’t have been able to experience true happiness whether maybe through kirtan or hope giving lectures through my parents. In one of the lectures, I have heard you stress on the importance of sadhana in the life of an aspiring Vaishnava, and I have really come to recognise that, I saw through continuous sadhana I was able to do better spiritually and academically, and so had a more holistic effect on my life. Guru Maharaj I know that even though me and you are separated by an ocean, but although countries apart I can sense you directing me whenever I need it, although my prayers are insignificant, I hope and pray that you get better and visit us here in the UAE and dance and sing with us, instruct on how to live an exemplary life such as yours directly.
Your Menial Servant,
Naresha Caitanya Dasa
