Dear Srila Gurudeva,Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. I really like this time of the year when we are getting closer to yourappearance day. I always remember how thankful I am to you, but as this day is coming closer this meditation gets more and more intense. I got a new life from you, Srila Gurudeva, a life where I have a chance to change my faults. I can live in a community where we have a common goal and I can get help from everyone. This is a temporary life and the beginning of an eternal relationship. Every day I remember my fortunate situation and…

All glories to you! oṁ ajñāna-timirāndhasya jñānāñjana-śalākayā cakṣur-unmīlitaṁ yena tasmai śrī-gurave namaḥ “I was born in the darkest ignorance, and my spiritual master opened my eyes with the torch of knowledge. I offer my respectful obeisances unto him.” śrī-caitanya-mano bhīṣṭam sthāpitaṁ yena bhū-tale svayaṁ rūpaḥ kadā mahyaṁ dadāti sva-padāntikam “When will Srila Rupa Gosvami Prabhupada, who has established within this material world the mission to fulfill the desire of Lord Caitanya, give me shelter under his lotus feet?” I would like to thank you for your recent letter.

Dearest Srila Gurudeva, Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. All glories to you on this auspicious day. The world has turned upside down, but you are standing unwaveringly, readily accepting the Lord’s arrangement. We have to face various challenges throughout our lifetimes. But even among devotees there are those who excel, who are capable of deeply-devoted faith when there is peace and also when there are challenges that can overwhelm even devotees. When you were admitted to hospital the last time, you also bore witness to this. As a disciple, it is very worrying to hear these kinds of news about you, to see the pictures…

Dear Srila Gurudeva,Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. When you visited Hungary in 2014, I had the good fortune to talkwith you. At that time, I still lived with parents. You enquired about my well-being and at the end of our meeting I gave you an envelope. You asked whether there was a letter or donation inside. When informed you that there was laxmi inside, you told me that you would like me to join your Kartik parikrama and this laxmi is your contribution towards it. I became flustered, as this was so unexpected. I’ve tried convincing you twice to accept my donation, in the end…

Dearest Srila Gurudeva, Please accept my humble obeisances in the dust of your lotus feet. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. All glories to you.My dear spiritual master, greetings on your appearance day. Another year has passed. Only now, as I organize my memories, feelings,thoughts, only now do I realize that I am counting the new year from yourappearance day. It is always at this time of the year that I feel the fullness, that one part has ended and a new one begins. I was never attracted to celebrating the non-devotional new year and I am not advanced enough to understand the Vaisnava new year. But you, you mean my…
