My dear Guru Maharaja,
please accept my respectful obeisances to your Lotus feet!
All the glories to Your divine grace! All glories to your auspicious appearance day! All glories to Srila Prabhupada! All glories to previous Acaryas! All glories to Sri Gauranga and Sri Nityananda!
My beloved Guru Maharaj, even this year Krishna is giving me this great gift: to give me the opportunity to send you this letter for your Vyasa-puja.
It has already been a year since we celebrated your last apparition, a very busy year for the whole world, but especially for us, your disciples worried about your health, constantly busy praying to Lord Nrsimhadev to protect you, often doing yajna of protection for you. So much anxiety!
Your constant and uninterrupted determination to carry on your service at Srila Prabhupada's lotus feet has never wavered even for a split second. Rather! You have used all the means at your disposal to encourage us to continue undeterred in the preaching, entering homes even if it was forbidden to us, learning to make the most of the web tools.
You are the example on this planet of who is the most intimate servant of the Supreme Lord. You are constantly engaged in Krishna consciousness in order to free not only all your children, poor conditioned souls of this material world, but also all the other creatures.
You are my lighthouse in the night my beloved father, the guide without which I would wander eternally in the darkness of illusion, the anchor that allows me not to drift, the outstretched hand that does not allow the ocean of ignorance to engulf me in every moment, you are the one who is saving me over and over by reminding me what the Absolute Truth is.
Thank you Guru Maharaj for always being by my side, encouraging me, supporting me, even scolding me lovingly; thank you for accepting me as your disciple even though I am not qualified, but your mercy is so immense that you did not hesitate even for a moment to take me with you.
I miss you so much and pray every day to Krishna to allow me to do dandavat in front of your lotus feet as soon as possible!
Your eternally grateful and insignificant disciple,
