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…

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…

Dearest Srila Gurudeva, Please accept my humble obeisances! All glories to Srila Prabhupada! All glories to you Srila Gurudeva! On this auspicious day of your appearance, I can only think with gratitude towards you. Thank you so much for very kindly entering into my life. Thank you for giving me the path of devotional service. Thank you for giving me guidance, your torch light of knowledge. Thank you for being such an exemplary devotee of Krishna. Thank you for showing an example of how to be a good disciple of Srila Prabhupada. Thank you for your wonderful preaching programs, like the Polish tour, where I could also do some seva…

Dear Srila Gurudeva, Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada and to you. On your birthday, I’d like to thank, for everything, that you’ve done for me throughout the years. I’m very grateful for all the mercy, that you’ve given me, and for the opportunity to take part in the Woodstock festival and the Polish tour. Listening to you preach, I always feel very inspired to perform devotional service. I would like to express my gratitude for all these to you today. Your servant, Tilakini Dasi

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…

Dear Indradyumna Maharaja,Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. Home is where the heart is, but we often do not live at that place…When the pandemic started and borders were getting locked, everybody hurried to the place where they belong to. I was consciously and curiously observing where my friends, devotees, acquaintances would end up. I myself ended up in Nagykanizsa, a small town in Hungary, a place where I always escape from Budapest. I was not surprised that my Guru Maharaja (His Holiness Sivarama Swami) came back to New Vraja Dhama, even though he spent very little time there nowadays. And I was confused to hear…

Dear Srila Gurudeva, Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. All glories to you. I was very fortunate last year to be able to have your personal association on a few different occasions and thereby experience the qualities, lifestyle and acts of a pure devotee. At the Pol’n’Rock festival, I was able to witness your incredible strength. I never understood how one can be capable of this much, especially physically. Years ago, I was also amazed to see you constantly on your feet, preaching and always making sure that everything goes smoothly. Last year, I witnessed again that day in and day out you were always engaged,…

Dearest Srila Gurudeva, Please accept our humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. All glories to your divine Vyasa puja. Today is only God-knows which day of April, 2020. Lockdown. Curfew. Chaos. Coronavirus. Who would have thought? Year after year we always hear that padaṁ padaṁ yad vipadāṁ na teṣām. And finally, now it is a reality. Real realization. But it is also real, that Krishna is present, devotees care, and we have your precious association through your webinars. Real nectar. Thank you so much Srila Gurudeva for maintaining our faith, always sharing the news about your health, your activities. For us these are the news, the only good news…

Dear Srila Gurudeva, Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada and to you. I am writing to you on the occasion of your appearance day with love from the bottom of my heart. I bow down at your lotus feet. Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to associate with you for several years now. I know you have many disciples who also can’t wait to see you. I miss you very much. It is my godsisters and brothers from whom I get news about you. I was really worried about you, but luckily you have overcome yet another possibly fatal disease, now for the third time. This makes…

Dearest Srila Gurudeva, Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. All glories to your lotus feet. The sun of your blessed appearance day has risen again, and thousands of brothers and sisters have come together to shower the fragrant flowers of their love and gratitude upon you. Happy birthday, dear Srila Gurudeva! You are a strong and unmovable beacon of light that we can all safely follow. You are here steadily giving us shelter at the time of need, and with your sweet Krishna katha you are easing our suffering in this material world. I offer my respectful obeisances onto your lotus feet. Your heart-melting bhajans and…
