This is an offering by H.H Bhakti Charu Swami:

Dear Bir Krishna Maharaj,

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

Please forgive me for my inability to attend your Vyasa Puja. Even though I am not fortunate enough to be present personally, in spirit I jubilantly join your disciples and admirers today to celebrate this glorious occasion.

I consider myself very fortunate to have such a wonderful god-brother like yourself. That good fortune multiplied many fold due to the opportunity to come so close to you in North Carolina. As a result of that I got to know what a wonderful person you are and my respect and admiration for you increased immensely. I am extremely thankful to Srila Prabhupada for allowing me to develop this relationship with you.

Disciples of His Divine Grace like yourself are not only the hope for ISKCON but for the entire world. It is due to your sincere involvement in Srila Prabhupada’s movement that this world will be saved from its extremely precarious condition.

I also very much admire the way you are attracting so many wonderful souls and training them to become valuable assets to Srila Prabhupada’s ISKCON. I naturally feel very attracted to them and feel myself fortunate for being so intimately associated with them.

Please continue to shower your mercy upon me and engage me in the service of His Divine Grace.

Your humble servant,

Bhakti Charu Swami.
