Dear Gurudeva, please, if you wish, accept my humble and respectful obeisances prostrate to your divine lotus feet.

All glories To Srila Prabhupada.

All glories to You Gurudeva.

Another new year I have the wonderful opportunity to try to glorify his heroic activities.

You are the perfect example of the Love that Krishna gives us. With your instructions, actions, words, patience, kindness, looks, smiles, intelligence, austerity, humility, gratitude and above all His Mercy You personify that Love.

The Lord wants us back at home, so he sends his eternal associates intimate to show us the way and the right way to act, to be worthy of his company and it is You who came to rescue us from this Ocean of suffering to take us home sacrificing your welfare at every moment, without rest, accepting all kinds of annoyances and austerities to follow the instruction of Srila Prabhupada whose Lotus Feet he carries in His Heart. There are not many such wonderful people in this world that would be of us without you, I do not even want to imagine.

Dear Gurudeva, my eternal gratitude and attempt to serve His feet, I owe everything to him, for not serving him as he deserves, I sincerely ask him to please allow me to continue trying.

Your unworthy aspiring servant eternal.

HpS - We do not think that we are an eternal servant of Krsna being sent to save people, rather that we are a rebelious soul who is becoming corrected and doing a little for Srila Prabhupada's moevement. There are many others, like your self. We do indulge in eating, sleeping and recreation to questionable degrees. Maybe they are justified?? But let us always work to minimize these, no? See you soon!
