My dear Uncle Mahatma Prabhu,

Please accept my humblest obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada! All glories to Your Divine Grace on this wonderful occasion of Your Appearance in this struggling world.

Being very poor in heart, all I can offer is my undying gratitude for the unbounded compassion You consistently show to poor souls wherever You go. You do the greatest welfare work for the whole universe by sharing the intimacy and personal relationship that is revealed between the Holy Name of Krishna and His aspiring devotee. Your instruction, guidance, and personal sharing have been a beacon of hope in my life, and I've seen that You have done this and more for so many others throughout Your selfless service to Your Spiritual Master, His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada.

Being the duty of every chaste disciple of such a wonderful Guru, You've perfectly represented the caring, giving mood of Srila Prabhupada and proven beyond all doubt that Srila Prabhupada was right to, upon His departure, entrust His preaching service to His dear disciples like Your Good Self. It's said that Vaisnavas are true friends to all living entities, and I've been blessed to have been a recipient of this authentic friendship. For this, I am eternally grateful.

As always, we beg to remain...

Your struggling servant,

Gopal das
