All glories to you, our beloved father!Once again I find myself writing my offering letter to you. To be honest, I start meditating on what I would be able to offer you, Srila Gurudeva, in my next letter as soon as I present you with the present one.Last year I stupidly asked you in what mood I should chant Gayatri-mantras.

Thanks to…

Dear Srila Gurudev, Hare Krishna! Accept my humble obeisances in the dust of your Lotus feet. I congratulate you on Vyasa Puja, all glory to you! All glories to Srila Prabhupada! I have long realized that I am made up of your infinite mercy and it is reflected in my entire spiritual life, especially in Srila Prabhupada’s marathon when you distribute his books. One day, on December 25, 2019, you Gurudev inspired me to go to sankirtana with the books Srimad Bhagavatam and Bhagavad Gita. And then I took the books and went to the center of the city, at the exit to the subway spread out the books and…

Honestly saying, it wasn’t easy for me to write an offering this year; you know my passion for words like…
