From Madhava Gauranga das – Australia, Melbourne

Dear Srila Gurudeva,
Please accept my humble obeisances, all glories to Srila Prabhupada.
Happy Birthday Srila Gurudeva.
Srila Gurudeva, In the year 2019 in Sri Vindavana dham we met you and you had kindly gifted us with a Srila Giriraj shila and ever since we have been worshiping him very dearly.
Ever since the covid pandemic has hit we haven’t had a sacred sound retreat which means we wouldn’t have your darshan but you kindly started to do online lectures on your youtube channel which have been very inspiring and fulfilling any time I get the chance to listen to them. Srila Gurudeva, I wish Sacred Sound retreat can start again during Easter break that way I can serve you personally, be with you and listen to the sweet kirtans and Krishna katha from you and another senior devotees.
Last time I met you in Sridham Mayapur in December 2022 along with my family, you have inspired me to take my chanting seriously and since then by your blessing I never skipped my daily rounds. Thank you Srila Gurudeva for giving me that personal instruction.
Srila Gurudeva, I request you to bless me, so I can become a sincere devotee of the Lord and his devotees and serve them in any chance I get.
Hoping to have your darshan in this year.
Your aspiring servant, Madhava Gauranga das (14 years)
