Hare Krishna dear Mahatma Prabhu,

Please accept my humble obeisances.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

I´m happy to write an offering to you this year. When I met you the first time in Cologne, I just heard one lecture and one Kirtan, but when I went for a 6 week ayurvedic treatment to Southindia, I took one of your lecture sticks with me , and there I had a most wonderful Krishna conscious time with your Japa Workshop and other seminars, I could fully dive into it because I had nothing to do, just some treatments. So I really developed a taste for my japa for the first time like that. Thank you for this wonderful gift. 

After that I listened to your classes almost regularly being very inspired and enthusiastic by your wonderful ability to explain and connect common sense and day to day psychology with Krishna consciousness. 

Another time I had the great honor that you came to my home for 3 days for some short seminar, again a wonderful experience. You carry also another kind of powerful spiritual energy with you, which is mainly notable in your physical presence. So I was grateful to meet and hear from you another time in Mayapur. 

But even hearing your online classes is always so refreshing for the soul, you are so tolerant, humble and open but still so fully Krishna conscious in your life that you are a perfect and great role model. I see in your example that this is the way Krishna consciousness must be lived to reach the goal of life, Krishna Prema.

Thank you for your priceless service, and for accepting me as Siksa disciple.

Your always grateful servant,

Dhara Devi dasi
