From Mangala Gopi Dasi – Germany, Munich

Dear Srila Gurudeva!

Please accept my most humble obeisances. All glories to you!

I strongly hope my letter finds you in good health. In the last months, joy and sorrow, hope and exasperation waved and whirled in me, just
as if in wartime. And it is not ordained that only the sinful will perish in such a situation — even the sages and saints have to suffer and to accept austerities. Please accept my commiseration for your feelings of separation caused by the cancellation of festivals.

I feel very fortunate that I can take shelter of your lotus feet. I am very thankful to you for your support that you offer to us in the form of your online lectures. They give so much strength to me. When we can meet you again, we will appreciate every minute of your association as if our lives are dependent on it! I know that unfortunately this will require us to wait. Thank you for existing and for showering spiritual nectar on us! Please take care of yourself.

Hankering for your eternal association, your servant, Mangala Gopi Dasi
