All glories to your beloved Srila Prabhupada!Gurudeva, though we have not physically seen each other in quite a few years now, I feel you are right here through your divine Vrindavan pastimes. My children have been listening to the Spring/summer/monsoon pastimes for months now as their bedtime stories without fail. They say that it makes them feel most safe listening to you narrate these pastimes. I know how they feel because it was your Pada-kamalam cassette that put me to sleep for years as a child.

    Dearest Srila Gurudeva, Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada!!!Every Monday morning I feel privileged to be able to take darshan of you through your classes on The Stimulation for Ecstatic Love. We spoke as you were driving to Rishikesh, and I told you that I listened to your classes while I cook the breakfast offering for Sri Sri Nitai Gaurachandra. I told you how fortunate I feel to stay connected to you through your classes and you told me that this was good. You said that this is service to the spiritual master, to hear from him. Gurudeva, I appreciate the great detail you go into…
