from Govinda Priya Dasi – India, Mayapur
Dear Srila Gurudeva, Please accept my respectful obeisances. All glories to you, my spiritual father. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. “Material existence is something like a blazing fire in the forest, which can be extinguished by the mercy of the Lord Sri Kṛishṇa. The spiritual master is the mercy representative of the Lord. Therefore, a person burning in the flames of material existence may receive the rains of mercy of the Lord through the transparent medium of the self-realized spiritual master. The spiritual master, by his words, can penetrate into the heart of the suffering person and inject knowledge transcendental, which alone can extinguish the fire of material existence.” [Srimad…

from Ananta Sesa Das – India, Mayapur
Dearest Srila Gurudev, Please accept our most humble obeisances in the dust of your lotus feet. All glories to you, our beloved lord and master. All glories to Srila Prabhupada, who delivered us in this dark age of Kali, by his causeless mercy. Gurudev, I use this opportunity to thank you for all these things you have given me out of your causeless mercy. I could see how you were there for me, in the most difficult times of my life. When I was in desperate need of guidance and help, Gurudev, you were there for me in terms of your personal phone call, or your appearance in my dreams…

from bhaktin Kinga Pataki – Hungary, Somogyvámos
Dear Srila Gurudeva, Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. All glories to You. Just one year passed since your last Vyasa Puja celebration, but it seems a much longer period of time, because the world is revolving in slow motion now. It is your appearance day, Srila Gurudeva, so I would like to thank You for a chance to appreciate Your association in 2019. Unfortunately, I am not good at formal offerings, so I chose to recall some of my favorite memories with You. First of all, in summer I was so fortunate to join the Polish tour and Woodstock for 3 and a half weeks.…

from bhaktin Eleonora Kovаcs – Hungary, Somogyvámos
Dear Gurudeva,Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. Another year has passed, and I’m so grateful that you continue toshower your mercy upon me through your teachings. In the current circumstances, when our personal association has taken a very different form, when the mood of separation seems so common, all our relationships have become even more precious. Your inspirations still touch me deeply, and I have to confess that often these are the only thing that brings me back to the level of Krishna Consciousness. Last January, after many long years of waiting, we had the great fortune and mercy to welcome a soul into our family,…

Dear Indradyumna Maharaja,Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. I would like to write to you on this day, on the occasion of yourappearance day. I would like to express my gratitude to you, for enthusing and inspiring me. You are encouraging me to continue my service even when it’s difficult, keeping me to go on with prasadam distribution and cooking. It’s so amazing all that you’re doing. I saw during the Polish Woodstock Festival, how you pulled the chariot, distributed prasadam to the devotees, and sang storming kirtanas. There is not enough time in a day which would include all the devotional service that you manage…

from Vallabhi Kanta Dasi – Hungary, New Vraja Dhama
My dearest Srila Gurudeva, Please accept my respectful obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada and to you. Unfortunately, I have no opportunity to write a long letter to you right now, although I would like to write to you every month… Recently you have mentioned that, maybe, you will remain with us for 12 more years. This prophecy shocked me a little bit, because in the last 12 years I could not meet you so often. If I look back over the last 12–15 years, the only thing that I can see is the miracles that happened to me by your mercy. All that I can offer to you is…

from Sravana Mangalam Dasi – Hungary, Budapest
Dear Srīla Gurudeva, Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. All glories to the day of your Appearance. Srila Sivarama Swami Maharaja writes in Nava-vraja-mahima [Volume 7]: “Inspired by Lord Krsna from within his heart, the spiritual master guides the disciple to liberation with the beacon of transcendental knowledge through the phases of relationship, practice, and goal. The guidance of the spiritual master does not depend on his physical presence. In his absence, directly or indirectly, the guru continues to guide the faithful disciple”. I was thinking of you while reading the above. Even though your spiritual master has already left this world, you are still guided…
