<big>Dear Gurumaharaja,
Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. </big>

<big>Congratulations with your Vyasa Puja. It is the very first offering i write to you, after you've shown me your kindness by accepting me on board the ISKCON boat last year as my diksa guru. The mystery of our relationship eludes me still, although i try to understand it. In my foolishness, i looked at you in a material way, i have tried to use you for material gain and i have surely shown you disrespect, all for which i am sorry and offer my apologies. </big>

<big>You mentioned Srila Prabhupada's words that no disciple can ever take all of his Guru's instructions. I am aware of that. I like hearing your classes, they help me feel close to you. Also, i appreciate your way of presenting spiritual life, and how to apply it into my dense darkness. Many new challenges will arise, but i am confident that all will work out.  You certainly are able to shed the Light of the Bhagavata on society's workings and my personal sadhana, and i understand i have my life to perfect this. So i offer you my gratitude. I cherish your comment in this regard, "You already have my mercy, now you have to take it."</big>

<big>Your fortunate disciple,
Raghava Pandita dasa</big>
 

<big>PS. On days like this i miss being in my Godfamily's association. Your suggestion for visiting Spain certainly was visionary for establishing relationships there. </big>

<big>                HpS - Jaya! RpD.  So nice to hear from you. You can see we are drowning in this South American tour. Just be alert, alert, alert for the chances to preach thatn Krsna sends to you.</big>
