Your Holiness,
At the outset, I offer my respectful salutation at your lotus feet.
I am writing this letter to express my deep sense of gratitude to your Holiness and Sadhvi Bhagwati and all the wonderful devotees, staff and volunteers at divine Parmarth Niketan Ashram for the very warm and heart touching hospitality extended to me and my members during our stay at the Ashram.  All of us are deeply touched and profoundly moved by the unconditional love of your holiness and your devotees have showered upon all of us.
Certainly it was our deepest pleasure and privilege for the opportunity to visit the magnificent Ashram in holy city of Rishikesh and meeting your holiness and your devotees.  We were very much moved and inspired by swami-ji's cordial gesture of magnanimity and benevolence of you and your devotees have showered upon us.
For me and my young members, The International Yoga Festival - different yoga classes and the divine discourses by different great Saints and Sages and the magnificent evening offering of Havan and Aarti Puja at the bank of Ganges, was a truly spectacular moment and has been heavenly experience for us.  All of us shall remain extremely grateful to your holiness and all devotees of Parmarth Ashram for this divine gift.
We very much look forward to have a close association with Parmarth Niketan Ashram and to work together for the peace and happiness of all.
We eagerly wait for gracious visit of your holiness to Ladakh in the month of August to bless our humble festival of Buddhist Heritage of Ladakh.
With deepest gratitude and salutation.
Yours sincerely,
Bhikkhu Sanghasena

Your Holiness,
Please accept our reverential pranams.
Though it has been almost 2 weeks since the IYF 2015, we are still under the heady spiritual effects of the divine ashram & satsang of the pujya Acharyas. It is this feeling which prompts us to write to you. Our heartfelt gratitude for such an amazing experience. Words are not enough to convey what you made us feel and we thank you for the honour which you bestowed on us.
We believe every blessing comes with a responsibility and we re-dedicate ourselves to alleviate suffering of fellow human beings both physical and mental. With this intention we offer our humble services to the ashram in a manner we can. We look forward to great times under your guidance.
PS: A special mention of Nandini ji who was most kind and helpful, not to undermine any other’s effort.
In seva
