Hare Krishna, dear spiritual master Indradyumna Swami. Please accept my obeisance! All glory to Srila Prabhupada, Guru ISKCON and all the devotees.

On this significant day of your Vyasa Puja, let me express my gratitude to you.

By your grace, such a large number of lost souls take refuge at the feet of Srila Prabhupada, Sri Krishna. I am very happy to have such a unique opportunity too. Exactly a year has passed since you accepted me as your student. I feel very grateful to you for this. I feel more and more the importance and value of this moment every day, as if spiritual practice and relations with the personality of God have become clearer and closer. I am very grateful to you for this opportunity.

The second very important moment this year is the opportunity to visit the Holy Place of Sri Vrindavan Dhama! I am amazed at your care and love for the students, so much selflessness, so much love, an example in service you give in a joint parikrama. By your grace, very important changes have taken place in my heart, as if I had returned a different person. I’m still under the impression that this is possible and it’s real. I have a great gratitude in my heart to you for taking care of your students so selflessly, giving such an important lesson in devotion to guru and Sri Krishna, living mercy, allowing you to see and touch the Holy Places. This is a unique experience, thank you for that!!!

Another important point is that you have allowed the worship of Deities. Now the Deities have come to us and I am in a kind of trembling state from this, as if something especially important has appeared in my life. This is a very joyful and exciting event, I want to be a worthy servant of the Lord. I am very grateful to you for this grace, for the opportunity, for your trust and of course for putting into me the strength necessary to perform such an important service.

I am also grateful to you, all the gurus and Sri Krishna, that there is such a unique society, my heart melts every day, I just cry with happiness that there are such wonderful devotees, so much care, love and acceptance. This is a very valuable society and I am glad that I have the opportunity to be among these people.

I am also very grateful for the opportunity to serve in our St. Petersburg Yatra. It is a great joy for me to serve in the flower and children’s department, I am under the great impression that service can be a joy and I can be completely happy about it!!! 

For me, the most important wealth is to be in the company of devotees, thank you very much for this opportunity!!

I hope to remain in the society always and perform service for the joy of you and Sri Krishna.

With gratitude, 

your student Rasa Vallari dasi
