Dear Guru Mahārāja,
All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda
All glories to Śrīla Guru Mahārāja
Please accept my most respectful obeisances.
My Shikhsa Guru calls you a magician.
I have heard many instances which relate to this from her.
Aside from the staggering challenges that you have overcome so far and continue to overcome daily, it is your personal warmth and grace which shines through so brilliantly.
I am so grateful to be admitted to your family and I pray that I will be able to keep up the standards.
My Shikhsa Gurus have told me that you are in the mood of Nityananada Prabhu and accept disciples without considering if they qualify or if they are good.
I am sure that same attitude was helpful in accepting me as I am one of the most fallen ones.
I came like a bewildered stray cat to your doorstep and was affectionately received and cared for.
The JPS care team that you have set up and the system of Bhakti-vṛkṣa and Śīkṣā-gurus is amazing and very compassionate and caring.
Praying for your good health and that you continue to save many fallen souls like me.
You Spiritual daughter and insignificant servant
