Hare Krishna dear Srila Gurudeva! Please accept my respectful obeisances to Your lotus feet. All glories to Srila Prabhupada! On the wonderful day of your Vyasa Puja, please accept this humble offering. I hope it will give you pleasure and bring joy. I cannot adequately glorify you, but nevertheless I will try to describe some of your amazing qualities that inspire me to make efforts in the practice of Krishna consciousness. At the moment, I have a wonderful opportunity to read “Prabhupada-lilamrta” and meditate on it. Coming into contact in such a way with Srila Prabhupada’s pastimes, which His Divine Grace manifested while in this world, I once again noted…

Hare Krishna, Dear Srila Gurudeva. Please accept my humble obeisances in the dust of your lotus feet. All glory to Srila Prabhupada. All glory to you. The most important time of the year for any disciple is coming again—Vyasa Puja of the spiritual master. It’s impossible to exaggerate the importance of this event, just as it’s impossible to repay a spiritual master for his kindness and mercy towards a disciple. The spiritual master, with the help of transcendental knowledge of the Lord, unshakable faith in the Lord and perfect practice of devotional service, gives the disciple the most valuable gift—a chance to leave a life full of suffering and sorrow…

Hare Krishna!Dear Srila Gurudeva, please accept my respectful obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada!All glories to you!When I was sitting down to write this offering, I remembered the story of Pigpen (later known as H.G. Rasada das) that you often recite in your lectures. I recalled a moment in the temple when the main character of that story was holding Prabhupada’s feet and relentlessly crying, while Srila Prabhupada was caressing him on the head. You commented on this situation by saying, “Who knows what mercy then he received from Prabhupada?” That phrase resonated very deeply in my heart, and I memorized it for the rest of my life. About a…

Dear Srila Gurudeva, Please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet on this auspicious occasion of your 73rd Vyasa Puja celebration. All glories to SrilaPrabhupada!  This is the day when we have an opportunity to reflect on your mercy, which I definitely received in abundance. I remember we’ve discussed sometime back my desire to give time and attention to the Western preaching, since there is not much happening there in terms of Krishna Conscious development. You told me that I can preach in the US and you will preach in Russia. And it was happening for few years until the pandemic changed everything. I asked you for advice on…
