From Syamala Sundari dasi – Russia, Krasnodar

My dear Gurudev,
I am so much grateful to Srila Prabhupada, to you, your senior disciples and all Vaisnavas for this unique opportunity to have your association and to serve Your Holiness!
You resemble gigantic, unbelievably large bright sun to me, which is full of love, happiness, joy and compassion. Wherever you come everything becomes illuminated by this energy.
By your “rays” you warm up heart of each jiva… during festivals, lectures, kirtans, even the only glance of yours can make such an effect. You change lives of millions of people and this worths the highest respect! Srila Prabhupada is undoubtedly proud of you, he is really pleased with your service.
And I am proud that you have accepted me as your disciple. As a grateful response I promise to do all what’s possible and impossible for helping your mission. To serve you to the rest of this life, to serve you life after life, in spite of all my mistakes and falldowns, to get up and move forward, looking straight at your goal, which is so noble!
P.S. I am especially grateful to you for the opportunity to serve Dhanistha mataji.
Please, accept my humble obeisances, Syamala Sundari dasi
