    From bhaktin Maria Glebova – Russia, Saint Petersburg

    Dear Srila Indradyumna Swami Maharaja,Please accept my obeisances in the dust of your lotus feet.You don’t know me, but by Lord’s causeless mercy I am lucky to write this offering to you personally.Just as one can see father’s features at his son’s face, I can see Srila Prabhupada’s compassionate and brave spirit in you, and therefore I can realize who our dearly beloved acarya was. One of his wonderful qualities was his deep love for children that lives in your heart, too.It’s a real wonder that at the previous Vyasa Puja in St. Petersburg, when my mind surrendered to my heart and to you, I was preparing a two-hour program…

    From bhaktin Katerina Porotnikova – Russia, Kaliningrad

    Dear Srila Gurudeva,Hare Krsna! All glories to Srila Prabhupada! Please accept my humble obeisances!Please, allow me to congratulate you on your Appearance Day! And even more I would like to congratulate us, your disciples and all those, for whom you are their shelter!Thank you for the shelter, that you have been giving me all these years, since the moment when in 2014 in Kaliningrad you accepted me by some causeless mercy, and allowed me to read you pranama-mantra! It also happened due to dear Mathuresvari, who led me to you by the hand, seeing my confusion and inability to do anything on my own. And also due to Lila Avatara…

    From bhaktin Elizaveta Khrestyan – Russia, Moscow

    Dear Srila Gurudeva,Hare Krishna! Please accept my respectful obeisances in the dust of your lotus feet! All glories to Srila Prabhupada!On this auspicious day of your Vyasa Puja I dared to write this letter to you, though fully realizing that I do not possess a slightest speck of heart purity that would allow me to glorify even a minor part of your qualities. However, avoiding an imperfect attempt to do that seems to me even a greater omission.About six months have passed since I felt a heavy rain of Srila Prabhupada’s mercy showering upon my head for the first time. This happened during the Sadhu-Sanga Festival 2019, where you were…

    Dear Srila Gurudeva,Please accept my humble obeisances in the dust of your lotus feet. All glories to you, all glories to Srila Prabhupada!On this wonderful day of your appearance I would like to express my gratitude to you for changing my life so significantly. I’m not sure that I am talented enough to do that in a proper manner, but I will try.I am at the very beginning of my spiritual path. You allowed me to chant your pranam a year ago. But that short time was enough to me to realize that you are the person whose instructions I want to follow. You have done a lot for me.I…

    Dear Srila Gurudeva,Please, accept my humble obeisances to your lotus feet. All glories to Srila Prabhupada! Hare Krishna!How I wish to glorify you — the most outstanding person in my life… How I wish to tell you about my success in serving you… How I wish to bring you joy by opening my heart to you…But… this year haven’t been easy to me, because every day all my energy goes to my family, to our three growing kids, to my work as a first-grade teacher (there are nine more kids in the class), as a teacher of preschool development and a yoga instructor for children.I’m not sure if I really…

    Dear Gurudev,Hare Krishna! All glory to you and Srila Prabhupada! Please accept my humble obeisances at your Lotus feet.Let me congratulate y ou on the day of your appearance! Everything that happens in my life is your infinite mercy.This is my first letter to you, and I apologize for being emotional and sloppy. With your permission, I bring you my small “advancements” in spiritual life for this year:1 There was a permanent service for Tulasi Devi.2 I was cured after a long illness. I’ll explain why it’s here. I had a mental disorder and I hardly went out for about two years. And I could not attend lectures and go…

    From bhaktin Ekta Sharma – India, Bangalore

    Dear Srila Gurudeva,Hare Krsna! Jai Srila Prabhupada! Kindly accept my humble obeisances to your lotus feet.First of all, I want to wish you a very happy Appearance day and a happy Vyasа Puja. Srila Gurudeva, I was wondering like a blind before meeting you, and I was in the darkness of my grief, which was making me very weak and mentally disturbed, too. I did not know anything, and the whole situation was hindering my bhakti also, but the day when I met you at your house in Vrindavan and told you everything about myself, I got a bit relieved, though I still was nervous whether you would accept me…

    From bhakta Piyush Malik – India, Navi Mumbai

    Dearest Srila Gurudeva,Hare Krishna! Please accept my most respectful obeisances at your lotus feet. All glories to you! All glories to Srila Prabhupada!I wish you a very happy 71st Vyasa Puja. While I’m thinking of speaking some words to glorify you, I’ve literally gone back into time (about 5–6 years back). Back then, though I had already been introduced to Krishna Consciousness, I was not very serious about it. I remember it was about that time when I heard you singing “Jai Radha Madhava” in Russia in a YouTube video. I somehow got very attracted to this tune and was sharing it with my friends. Then as I searched more…
