Dear Gurudeva, please accept my humble obeissances, all glories to Srila Prabhupada

Gurudeva, I want to thank you for your mercy. It is not something that I have been able to see through great events or things like that.

But when I calmly reflect on how everything changes in my life, both spiritually and “materially,” I find that many things happen because, deep down, you have exerted your influence.

I know that I am a very poor disciple and that I do not communicate much.

HpS/ASA - Yeah, but you are a real good cook!

I try to do as much as possible in my day-to-day life, in my sadhana, and in what I can do with the strength I have at this moment.

With Krishna’s help I am more serious and I chant 16 rounds a day, almost every day. Sometimes work overwhelms me and I fail in that.

We are preaching a little, and trying to be a normal person, in order to be a devotee who fulfills his duties.

I hope you are doing very well. Thank you for everything you have given me; it may not seem like it, but it is many things.

Your humble servant,

Jambavan das

HpS - Many people come to us, you, me, other disciples of Srila Prabhupada, and say that many years ago they came in contact with us and it has had a lasting influence on them. They is all Guru krpa. Which of course, goes back to one Person, who lives in a little town deep in a very big forest with one road coming in from other places and another going out to other places.

A small boy and His friends who takes everything and everyone very seriously.
