Dear Srila Gurudeva, please accept my humble obeisances at Your lotus feet! All glories to Srila Prabhupada and his sincere followers! Thank You very much, dear spiritual master, for Your service to the mission, love for Srila Prabhupada and the example of how to remain a real person despite the position and status, and despite understanding of the temporality of this existence remain sensitive and gentle with people. For more than 10 years my service is to help the agricultural communities and rural temples in the status of brahmachari. I am from Russia, from Saint Petersburg. But as soon as I began to practice I sold the flat and left…

Hare Krsna, dear Srila Gurudeva! Accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet! During those 16 years, since you graciously accepted me into the ranks of your disciples, this is my first offering to you (not to count the emails). Becuase of listening to your lectures, ecstatic kirtans, reading ‘The Diary of a Travelling Monk’, I grew up spiritually and realized how important is the feedback from the disciples! I was deeply touched by the story of how you missed зrasad while you were delivering Srila Prabhupada’s suitcase. Since then, I have not eaten without first offering you, dear Guru Maharaj! It’s a pity that it’s all just in my…

Dear Srila Gurudev, Hare Krishna. Please accept my respectful obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupad. All glories to You. The day of Your vyasa puja, of Your appearance is indeed one of the most important days in my life! My gratitude to You and Your mercy cannot be described or put in words. I am infinitely happy when by Your grace I am engaged in service to the Lord, You and devotees! Last year I went on a Polish tour for the first time. Honestly, I was quite surprised. Everything I had heard about the tour and life there happened to be just a mere trifle in comparison with my…

Dear Srila Gurudeva, please accept my humble obeisances in the dust of your lotus feet.All glories to Srila Prabhupada! All glories to you! It is difficult to overestimate the importance of a spiritual teacher in the life of a Vaishnava. But your significance, Srila Gurudeva, in the life of each of us is impossible to describe in word. In the ‘Katha Upanishad’ (1.2.9) it is said: “Spiritual truth cannot be comprehended by logic. It is understood by listening to explanations from a spiritual teacher.”. You are the one who, like no one else, can very easily and naturally explain seemingly complicated things. I am deeply indebted to you, Srila Gurudeva!…

Dear Srila Gurudev,please, accept my humble obeisances in the dust of Your lotus feet!I wholeheartedly want to thank You for Your constant care for me. I can always feel it.I was given a piece of advice by a senior devotee to write letters to the spiritual master but not send them. The response will come. And I began to do so. As a result of that practice I began to feel a strong connection with You. I receive clear and precise answers, sometimes in Your classes or books, or through a different preacher, or it comes within the heart.And I know for sure, all of them come from You! It…

No pain, no game. These circumstances give us the opportunity to experience the…
