    Dear Guru Maharaj, please accept my most humble obeisances in the blessed dust of your lotus feet! All glories to you! All glories to Srila Prabhupada! Please allow me on this auspicious day of your Vyasa Puja to have a try to offer at least a bud of my gratitude and appreciation to you. In your lecture from February 02, 2012 mentioning the poisonous spiders and cobras that inhabit Vraja you say: padaṁ padaṁ yad vipadāṁ na teṣām (SB 10.14.58) – dangers await us at every step. Even in Vrindavana Dham we cannot hide from the mouth of suffering. And yet you give us this refuge in your lectures. It is not just a sword of knowledge that cuts up all…

    Dear Srila Gurudeva! Please accept my humble obeisances in the dust of your lotus feet. All glories to Srila Prabhupada!!! On this most auspicious day of Vyasa Puja, I want to express my deep gratitude to you!  The spiritual master is the representative of Krishna, therefore we worship spiritual master as Krishna himself! Thank you for not rejecting me and accepting me as a disciple. When my first teacher, Harikesa prabhu, passed away, it was not an easy period in my life. Everything began to collapse one after another, I felt like a stray dog that has no shelter. No matter what I did, no matter what efforts I made, everything flew away somewhere into the abyss. Every day…

    Hare Krishna dear Srila Gurudeva! Please accept my obeisances! All glories to you and Srila Prabhupada! Together with everyone, I want to congratulate you on the day of your appearance, on the day of your Vyasa Puja. This is a very important holiday for all of ISKCON, and especially for your disciples. I would like to thank you for the shelter you graciously gave me a year ago as your initiated disciple. During this year, I realized how merciful you are to your disciples, because I do not have the proper qualifications to be a mature, and even more, worthy disciple. This year has made it clear to me how powerless I…

    From Havir Hari Dasa – Russia, Volgodonsk

    Hare Krishna! Accept my bow, my dear spiritual master. Glory to Guru and Gauranga. All glory to SrilaPrabhupada. Thank you so much for coming for me in this incarnation. I want to share with you one dream in which I dreamed of devotees, Chaitanya Chandra CharanPrabhu, Vaishnava pranaPrabhu. Chaitanya Chandra CharanPrabhu said only two words, but these two words still warm my soul: “Take care of the food.” Then in His book “The Evolution of Consciousness” I read that food for the spiritual soul is love for God. Without japayajna, Krishna katha, praises and prayers for the glory of Lord Sri Krishna, everything would have faded, the whole sadhana bhaktiwould have turned…
