Dear Guru Mahārāja,
Please accept my respectful obeisances.
All glories unto You on this auspicious Vyāsa-pūjā day.
All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda!
A little over two years ago, I was introduced by a dear friend to some of Your disciples in the Reading congregation, and since then, so many positive things have happened in my life. I have felt so much joy. I wish to be able to serve You through serving them—I see them as an expansion of Your causeless mercy.
By that mercy, I was fortunate to have taken shelter at Your lotus feet in Māyāpur, this past February. I am praying that I can continue in Kṛṣṇa consciousness, and that I may one day become Your disciple, to serve You and Śrīla Prabhupāda’s movement.
Every day I listen to Śrīla Prabhupāda, and this has given me strength. And since taking shelter, I also listen to You every day.
Your insignificant servant,
