Our good friend and site member Divinyi Attila Tamas Prabhu, DAT, has written several very nice letters, which I felt were excellent examples of a humble submissive mood. Even though he is an experienced learned devotee, he takes a very humble and respectful attitude towards others, very nice. Ed.
DAT;
Hare Krishna!
Please accept my fallen obeisances.
All Glories to Srila Prabhupada!
Dear Tamoharadasa Prabhu please forgive my foolishness and offences and my lack of ability of communicating efficiently.
...All i wanted to say really is that from my understanding all these things happen because we are sinful world society and this is the will of the Lord. Before i got the mercy of Lord Krishna by directing me to the bonafide spiritual master His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, i was preoccupied with the so called esoteric, hidden side of things. In the past 7-8 years i watched, listened and read all kinds of illuminati, nwo, freemasonry, new-age religion "spirituality", etc etc things and none of it had any significant impact, life-changing impact on me except making me puffed up about the information i got and having a sense of superiority because of my mental speculations. Now most of this conception of mine has vanished in a short period of time, and by the mercy of Lord Krishna and Srila Prabhupada my habits and daily activity has changed, as a matter of fact my whole life took a turn...
All i'm trying to say is that in some insignificant degree i understand the importance of Krishna consciousness and that Srila Prabhupada made all this possible for us to make our life perfect, successful, so i'm only trying to follow his instructions and trying to somehow tell people that always think of Krishna because only He can save us.
Please kindly reply and try to understand my position, i'm just trying to be honest and revealing my mind as much and how i can in hope that all misunderstanding and disagreement stops and everybody just return to Srila Prabhupada AS HE IS.
Thank You for reading and i wish you a beautiful Krishna conscious day. Hari bol!
All glories to Śrī Guru and Gaurāṅga!

My very desire is to be able to become humble and respecting so that i will deserve to serve the lotus feet of Srila Prabhupada but at the present moment my heart is like a stone and i'm drowning in the ocean of ignorance. All i have is an insignificant amount of sincerity and i beg for your forgiveness if i seem to be offensive in any way.
Hari Hari bol!
All glories to Śrī Guru and Gaurāṅga!
DAT; Thank you dear Tamoharadasa Prabhu for making me understand this fighting spirit clearer. As you know i'm just a fallen conditioned soul and struggling in this darkness of ignorance, i just want to follow Srila Prabhupada cent percent. I know that there is everything we need in the books of His Divine Grace Srila Prabhupada but this changing attitude spoiled everything and makes me really suspicious and cautious. ...
I'm trying my best but maya is so strong that i can't even imagine, i guess this is why the association of devotees is so important but i still need to understand this fully. Thank you very much for helping me realize this, i beg for your mercy and pardon.
Wishing you all the best and a beautiful Krishna conscious day.
Hare Kṛṣṇa!
All glories to Śrī Guru and Gaurāṅga!
DAT; "...my so called knowledge is worthless therefore i only want to hear about the Supreme Absolute Truth. "[...]the natural consequence of hearing such hari-kathā is attainment of transcendental knowledge, which causes detachment from all mundane topics, for which a devotee has no taste at all. For a devotee, all mundane activities, social and political, become unattractive, and in the mature state such a devotee becomes uninterested even in his own body, and what to speak of bodily relatives. In such a state of affairs one is not agitated by the waves of the material modes.[...]" [SB 2.3.12 PURPORT]
Dec 20, 2011 Your kind understanding, tolerance, and encouragement are very much appreciated, D Attila Tamas.
Editor. Such a sincere thirst for pure knowledge will surely be rewarded with pure sat chit ananda.
