Dearest Gurumaharaj,
Please accept my humble obesiances at the dust of your Lotus Feet. All Glories to Srila Prabhupada, All Glories to you.
I want to take this opportunity to thank you from the bottom of my heart for giving me shelter and always guiding me. I remember when I started aspiring from you, I was only 15 at that time. You were so kind and patient with me, giving me so many opportunities to serve you by preparing your jungle oats breakfast and teaching me the proper way to cut a pineapple (don’t cut through the centre) . I will truly cherish these memories, and will always be indebted to you.
You are so magnanimous that even during your own health challenges are you focused on fulfilling Srila Prabhupada's mission and caring for the ISKCON family. I am truly honoured to be your diksha and I am making serious efforts about being more Krishna conscious.
I pray to Lord Jagganath for your continued health.
Your spiritual daughter eternally,
Prema Priya Gaurangi Devi Dasi (diksha)
