Dearest Srila Gurudeva, Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada and all glories to you! I am very sorry that we will not see you this year at the “Sadhu Sanga” festival. It’s the one time of the year we all look forward to. Nothing brings us more joy than seeing our beloved spiritual master in person, associating with our god-brothers, sisters, and other well wishers, all of which are brought together by your mercy to relish in the Holy names and Krsna prasad. I am also sad to hear that the “Laxmi Nrsimha” tour has been cancelled. It has been a glorious offering to Srila Prabhupada…

Dear Srila Gurudeva, Please accept my most humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada! All glories to you on this auspicious day of your appearance! I feel very fortunate to read my offering to you on your Appearance day. In all these years this is only the second time I have had this opportunity. May I first thank you for your webinars. I feel so blessed to have your association in my home 3 times a week, or more. I have never had so much of your association. It is wonderful! Living in rural Arkansas, my husband and I are fortunate not to be so affected by the pandemic. We…

Dear Srila Gurudeva,Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. I am so happy to have this opportunity to verbally express mygratitude on the day of your Appearance. I am thinking and reflecting on your good qualities, long life of service, sacrifice, austerities, and the happiness you experience in carrying on Lord Chaitanya’s mission in this world, assisting Srila Prabhupada in this labor of love. I got to thinking of the term “love” very deeply. We very often use the word “love” casually. But there is a big difference between the common usage of it and its real meaning. “Love” means: selflessness to carry on, and to do…

Dear Srila Gurudeva,Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. Today is Your Vyasa Puja. A special day, to dedicate to You evenmore. I am a very lucky child. Because I met my Spiritual Father quite early in life, It happened twenty nine years ago. Krishna and Srila Prabhupada showered a causeless mercy on me, a lost soul. Since early childhood I was searching for meaning. And when I got in touch with Bhagavad Gita and ISKCON movement, most of my questions were answered. Once I shared with You about a unique Spiritual Experience, which brought me to You in September of 1991. That moment is very dear…

Dear Srila Gurudeva, On this most glorious day of your 71st Vyasa Puja, I gratefully acknowledge your wonderful service to Srila Prabhupada. You are an excellent role model and father figure for me, I still rememberthe time that you showered you causeless mercy on me in Jaipur. That is a debt that can never be repaid. I thank you so much from the bottom of my heart. To honor and respect you means to be more serious in my sadhana to me. And yes, I still chant my sixteen rounds. I know I am not the best disciple but I thank you for giving me a chance to go back…

Dear Srila Gurudeva, Please accept my humble obeisances! All glories to Srila Prabhupada and to you! How are you? How is your health? Hope you are fine. I am missing you a lot. Now that Sadhu Sanga is cancelled I can only see you in Kartik if of course I have yours and Krishna mercy to come even near Vrindavan because I am such a fallen soul I have been listening to your webinars and I really love them. I absolutely loved the class about Talavan and Kamyavan. I did not know that Dhenukasura was actually the great great grandson of Prahlad Maharaja. In the class you gave about Kamyavan…

Dear Srila Gurudeva, Please accept our humble obeisances at Your lotus feet. All glories to Srila Prabhupada and all glories to You, Srila Gurudeva. We are so fortunate to share our Vyasa Puja offering in Your presence. Even though virtually, we value this virtual association with You, Srila Gurudeva, and it is very, very precious to us. We consider this a silver lining in this difficult pandemic situation. Another big boon for us is Your webinars which are so helpful to us: o To have Your virtual vaapu and vaani association on a regular basis.o To have Your valuable instructions coming through these webinars. You are so merciful that You…

Dear Srila Gurudeva, Hare Krsna! Please, accept our most humble obeisances. All glories to your lotus feet. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. Dear Srila Gurudeva, on this most auspicious day we pray to Lord Nrsimha to bestow you with good health, so that you can fulfill the mission of your spiritual master, His Divine Grace Srila Prabhupada. You have shown us that in rain or shine we should remain steady on our path of devotional service. You have always guided us by your personal example. As the saying goes: “Example is better than precept”. In the same way you have shown us how to turn difficulty into opportunity. These past…

Dear Gurudeva, Please accept my humble obeisances, all glories to Srila Prabhupada. All glories to you! Today I caught myself wishing your Vyasa Puja came more than once a year (which technically does happen) so that I could meditate upon, and appreciate your mercy more often. You are an inspiration, and even that word does not suffice, for you alone have achieved years of dedication to your spiritual master even while suffering from material pain, never giving up faith and being exemplary. You alone have inspired thousands of devotees, if not more, to be Krishna Conscious. I am grateful to have you to look up to because you are a…

Dearest Srila Gurudeva, Please accept my humble obeisances onto your lotus feet. Wishing you a very happy birthday, Srila Gurudeva. I miss seeing you at the annual Sadhu Sanga retreat, as this is my only once a yeardirect association with you and all the wonderful devotees, who come to the retreat. My yearly devotional consciousness recharger has to be put off for until the next Sadhu Sanga. Thank you so much for all the wonderful lectures, webinars, kirtans and pictures, that you send across that keeps me connected to you and Krishna. I know last year was a tough one on your health. You are in my prayers every day,…
