Dear Guru Mahārāja,
How can I begin to glorify you? Your glories are beyond the grasp of a dog, woof! You already know me very well, since you are always in touch with the Lord... yet you choose to look past my sinful past and accept me as one of your sheltered aspirants. For that, I can only thank you with all humility. Your hands have fed this useless son his daily bread, literally, and have given him a reason to exist — service at your lotus feet. Most of all, associating with your disciples has helped me so much in ways that even I cannot fully understand.
There is so much to say but nothing you do not already know. Thank you for everything!
May your mercy shine upon us all for eternity.
The dog of your servants,
Bhakta Arunesh
