From bhaktin Alina Gneusheva (Amrita)

Dear Guru Maharaj,
Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada! For a long time I did not dare to write you a letter and an offering.
Because all my attempts to glorify you will be insignificant. All I need to do is just listen to you.
For the first time in my life, this year, I had the opportunity to visit the Polish tour, Woodstock and the parikrama in Vrindavan. Where, on your own example and the example of my “brothers” and “sisters,” I recognized and saw what it means to faithfully serve your Spiritual Teacher and follow and follow His instructions. Thank you for this amazing experience and opportunity. I will keep it in my heart forever.
My heart is so dirty, hard and cold, that even being in the holy Dham and receiving the darshan of amazing Deities, it did not feel ANYTHING until you began to share your mercy and love for them, forcing even my heart to melt, feel and respond . You can melt even a heart like mine.
There were times when as a teenager, I completely stopped chanting japa, but in those days I dreamed about you so often as never before. After many years, I understand that it was your special mercy and opportunity to stay in touch with Krishna.
Throughout my life, you have always supported me. And even when doubts crept in my head about Krishna Consciousness, I could not imagine that I could betray you, leave or forget you.
Therefore, it is only thanks to you that I am still in a society of devotees and trying to accept my insignificant attempts to become your servant and to somehow be useful to you and your mission.
Please accept my most sincere wishes and thanks on this day.
Unworthy of your attention, bhaktin Amrita
