My dear spiritual father Srila Gurumaharaj,
Please accept my respectful obeisances.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
All glories to Your Divine Grace.
Thank you dear Srila Gurumaharaja for the life you have given Penelope and I. I was a useless drunkard, when You picked me up and saved me from this ocean of material suffering and repeated birth and death.
Your purity and example caused a revolution in my heart and I am eternally indebted to you, for all of your love, kindness and mercy since our meeting in 2014.
Penelope is chanting 16 rounds daily and attending HG Maha Vishnu prabhu’s Massachusetts online Gurukul Srila Gurumaharaja. Penelope would like to take shelter and initiation at your lotus feet Srila Gurudeva. Penelope progresses nicely under the care and guidance of your disciples HG Vishal Guaranga prabhu and HG Amala Manjari mataji. Your disciples have been so kind to us over the years. I appreciate and am so grateful for their tollerance, compassion and magnamity, as an extension of your causeless mercy. Thank you for sending such wonderful devotees, to instruct, train and guide us Srila Gurumaharaja.
I am trying to preach to the westerners Srila Gurumaharaja. When we first met in Birmingham, you instructed me to tell people about Krishna. I pray that your instructions will remain firmly fixed in my heart, as my life and soul mission. For your pleasure Srila Gurudeva, Srila Prabhupada and the disciplic succession.
At the 50th anniversary celebration in Birmingham, of your taking sanyasa, I asked if there was anything more I could do to please you? You asked me, was I helping people? To which I replied yes, and you responded that this was your desire.
Please continue to bless me Srila Gurumaharaja, so that I can serve you nicely in this life and the next. Please forgive me for all my shortcomings. Please bless me that I can complete bhakti sastri and take second initiation at your lotus feet Srila Gurudev. I want to dedicate this life as an offering to pleasing you.
Your spiritual son,
