Dearest Radhika

This past month, I embarked on a pilgrimage across Maharashtra, visiting sacred locations like Alandi, Dehu, Gondavle, and others. It was an enriching experience to be amongst devotees of these traditions, learning about their lives, unique challenges, and the unwavering faith that they place in their Gurus. There was so much to learn and be grateful for. I sought blessings for your well-being from these saintly traditions and places of energy.

Such sojourns have been a significant source of healing and solace for me over the years, and has allowed me to navigate the challenges of my life, including having to stay away from you. They have always provided me the space for reflection, recalibration, and rejuvenation.

During these journeys, I’ve met many wise pilgrims who’ve shared a valuable lesson: when circumstances are beyond our control, we must turn to prayer and infuse positive energy into the universe through our thoughts, actions, and efforts. While this may sound simple, it has been a lifelong endeavor for me to embody this wisdom in my own life. Existence is interdependent, and I’m confident that the positive vibrations of my prayers and dedicated efforts to help others must surely have reached you.

I deeply empathize with the situation that you are going through. Though it still remains beyond my control, please know that every day, all seven days of the week, my heart and spirit are with you. Whenever you will read these letters, you will know that your father has, and will always, strive for your well-being. For now, I have to continue writing these letters and eagerly await the day when I will hear back from you.

P.S.: Recently, I was appointed as an advisor to a special UN project – a development that I know will make you proud.

I look forward to hearing from you whenever you feel comfortable.

With heartfelt blessings,

Your Baba
