        Dear Guru Maharaja,

        Please accept my most humble obeisances! All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

        nama om visnu-padaya
        (sad ide pranama, ti to napisi jerbo nemam sanskrit)
        bhavad vidha bhagavatas
        tirtha-bhutah svayam vibo
        tirthi-kurvanti tirthani
        svantah-sthena gadabhrita

        "Saintly persons like you are them self a place of pilgrimage. Because of their purity they are permanent friends of the Lord and therefore can purify even the places of pilgrimage"

        ---S.B.1.13.10
         
        The darkness that I remember during this life never seem that dark to me because the shadows that were surrounding me seemed real. But somehow, only by the mercy of the Lord Caitanya, I felt a light which is now small, but it's stronger than yesterday and I hope weaker then it will be tomorrow. With your mercy this useless soul is slowly trying to find the right way. So many lives I have spend wondering in the darkness but now also I have never seen the true light, with your instruction's (if I follow them strictly) I can find the way out of this pains-taking birth and death.

        Most probably this is not my last life and if I am to be born in a Vaisnava family then the purpose of my present life will be fulfilled. Out of all the desires that occupy my mind, one I set a side; the only one which I don't want to give up. I pray to the Lord, no matter where I am born to never forget His lotus feet. The path of bhakti yoga on the first look seemed very simple, but after much association with maya even that which was easy becomes difficult. But you, with your mercy and knowledge, somehow have destroyed all the weeds and have shown me the right way. Now it is my turn to remove the wild grass out of my ears so I can hear the holy name of the Lord and your instruction's better.

        I must cleaned the temple within my heart which has for such a long time been neglected. While I listen to your lectures and read your letter my desire for devotional service increases more and more. You speak in such a simple way about Krishna without any mystical and complicated words. Because of my faith in all your words I know that by following you I follow the instruction of Srila Prabhupada and Krishna Himself. Taking the shelter of your lotus feet I know what it means when someone gets the mercy of a spiritual master. Such a debt I will never be able to pay in any of my lives, therefore this offering and my sincere wishes can not be compared to the greatness of your mercy.

        Your humble servant,
        Vedrana
