Hare Krishna, dear Srila Gurudev. Please accept my humble obeisances, all glories to Srila Prabhupada.In this auspicious day I would like to thank You for guidance through this not easy year. I feel Your presence in every event that is happening. Your mercy manifests itself through different hardships. When the war started I didn’t understand that. I felt like I was left behind. But then when the Polish tour started, I understood that this festival is taking place only because of Your unconditional love for Your disciples. This love exchange can not leave anybody indifferent. I am proud that I was part of the tour. And with Your blessings I…

Dear Srila Gurudev, please, accept my humble obeisances in the dust of your lotus feet. All glories to Srila Prabhupada! On the day of your Vyasa-Puja I offer you myboundless gratitude for another year spent in your service. I was lucky enough to serve with my other God-brothers and God-sisters during the Polish Tour last year and to be very inspired by your courageous preaching at festivals, the professionalism and talent of the devotees who organize and conduct theseincredible events, the cooperation and friendliness reigning in the family of the devotees and by incredible gratitude and attention from the people who attend your festivals. Those were the happiest days of…

Hare Krishna, dear spiritual master, please accept my obeisances in the dust of your feet. Having recently spoken to my spiritual sister Krishangi Rasa, I am convinced that it is only from contact with you and your lectures that I feel the condensed happiness that was present in me in my early years of practice. Your lectures are so lucid, so simple and pure, so rare and so powerful. Srila Prabhupada used to say that for the simple, our path is very simple. I ask you to bless me to be as stoic in my practice of Krishna consciousness. I thank you for the company of spiritual brothers and sisters…

Damodara Prabhu and I continue our spiritual practice and devotional service, living in a village in the Caucasus and trying to inspire new devotees.

I deeply miss the Polish Tour and all the dear devotees of the tour, with whom I had the fortune to serve together once! I am very concerned…

Hare Krishna, dear Srila Gurudeva! Please Accept my humble obeisances in the dust of your lotus feet! All glories to Srila Prabhupada! The war in Ukraine has been going on for more than a year. This is a difficult and difficult time. I am with my parents: my father and mother live just in the city of Kharkov, in the Northern Saltovka, one of the most dangerous areas at the beginning of the war. It is difficult to put into words what we experienced during the first 10 days of the war: these are constant bombings, fear and tension, fear for their lives, the lives of relatives, friends, and friends.…

Dear Srila Gurudev, please accept my obeisances in the dust at your lotus feet. All glories to Srila Prabhupada and to you, his faithful servant!On this wonderful day of your appearance, I would like to express my gratitude to you for the example of loyalty, stability and enthusiasm in devotional service of Lord Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu’s mission! When I first joined the Movement, I saw devotees serving Srila Prabhupada with great love and enthusiasm, but over the years I began to notice that some devotees had faded away, some had become disillusioned, and some had left ISKCON society altogether. You, dear Srila Gurudev, despite the amount of service that you…

Dear Srila Gurudeva, please accept my humble obeisances in the dust of your lotus feet. All glories to you and Srila Prabhupada!

You are the embodiment of the principle of anugatya, following the instructions from above. As Srila Prabhupada writes, the spiritual master must have full confidence in the previous acarya, but at the same time…

Hare Krishna, dear Srila Gurudev, please accept my obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada! Two years ago You accepted me and my wife as Your disciples and during these two years many amazing realizations and strong shocks, revelations and awareness happened. On Your Vyasa-pujas You often said that till next Vyasa-puja the disciple must offer to his spiritual master his heart purified from some anarthas. And this will be the best offering. That’s why You say that if the goal is set, it is achievable. I would very much want to say that I got free from some inauspicious things during these two years, but unfortunately I can’t. These two…
