        Respected Guru Maharaja,

        Please accept my most humble obeisances at the dust of Your divine feet. All glories to Srila Prabhupada! All glories to RadhaRasbihari! All glories to Guru and Gauranga!

        I take this privilege with profound honour, due to Your mercy, of writing my first offering to You on this auspicious day of your divine Vyasa-puja. This offering is my humble effort to express my gratitude for all the mercy you have bestowed on me.

        During your last visit in Bombay you gave so much of your association to a fallen soul like me, Who has always conclusively considered herself a gone case, a hopeless cause....... But now it makes me feel that even if you give me a drop of Your mercy then surely I will be able to follow this path of devotion with dedication. As days passed by, I thought that I have some good qualities due to which I am getting Your association. But this delusion was quite short lived and was completely blown apart when I came across one story whose moral is like.

        THE LOST STUDENT
        If you had one hundred sheep's and one of them lost its way,
        wouldn't you immediately go in search of the lost one, leaving aside
        the other ninety nine who knew their way back to home.
        It's important to help those who need help the most.

        You did exactly the same. I was the most vulnerable soul to fall down from this spiritual path due to my limitations and deficiencies and you have saved a soul like me who even did not know what is material nature all about. You saw how feeble and weak I was to take up the responsibilities of devotional service. If I have to describe and define the mercy, which You bestowed on me, it would be like putting the wind in the cage. I am very, very fortunate to have such a glorious Spiritual Master beside me to instruct me, guide me, correct me and reward me with blessings and a chance to serve Him.

        You accepted me the way I was puffed up with ego. But gradually you have
        tamed me down on this path of devotional service.

        You were so tolerant, patient and even liberal too. Due to which you 
        have nurtured me in devotional service.

        You have so much of regards and recognition of whatever tiny service, which I rendered

        That it makes me fell even though if I cannot do big things but at least I can do something through which I can show my gratitude and love towards you.

        You would very expertly tap our potential and accordingly tuned us in the devotional service.
        You not only gave me service but also encouraged me to do so because of which I take the pride of being recognized as Your servant.
        Your receive and reciprocate attitude towards us compounded our happiness by leaps and bounds

        Through Your enlivening and motivating lectures. You never let us lose hope in Krishna Consciousness

        All in All You would make me feel better than what I would feel about my self.

        By now, I want to make a true confession that it is not possible to count the innumerable qualities of a Spiritual Master and we can never ever be able to fathom these qualities too. On this auspicious day this fallen soul is praying at the lotus feet of RadhaRasbihari ji, that even in the midst of distress, miseries and happiness please help me to be true to my Guru Maharaja, and his instructions. I thing that will be the highest perfection this conditional soul can attain in this lifetime.

        Please forgive me for all the mistakes, I must have done due to my limited knowledge and previous conditioning.

        Your most unworthy and lowly servant,
        Lovly,

        RadhaRasbihari Temple
        Bombay
