Dear His Holiness Jayapatākā Swami Guru Mahārāja,
Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda.
I am writing this letter to express my gratitude and give you an update on my progress in ISKCON. I am happy to inform you that I have been chanting 16 rounds of the Hare Kṛṣṇa mahā-mantra and strictly following the four regulative principles.
Your teachings and instructions have been instrumental in guiding me on this path. I feel blessed to have you as my spiritual master, and I cannot thank you enough for the profound impact you have had on my spiritual journey.
Even amidst your deteriorating health, you continue to inspire and guide us. Your unwavering dedication to Śrīla Prabhupāda’s mission and the Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement is a testament to your unwavering faith and devotion.
Your selfless service and sacrifice for the benefit of others inspire me to become a better devotee and follow in your footsteps. I am grateful to have you as my guru and hope to continue learning from your wisdom and insights.
Once again, thank you for your guidance and blessings. Please accept my heartfelt gratitude and prayers for your good health and continued service to the Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement.
Your servant,
Varun Prem Shivlani
