Offerings of Love

Hare Krishna
Dandavat Pranam’s !
Dear Srila Prabhupada,
Please accept my respectful obeisance
All glories to you.

All these years, I was hesitant to listen to your audio lectures as I was unable to understand your Bengali pronunciation. This year I started listening to your audio lectures and initially I was struggling but now they are nectars for my ears. I’m currently listening to the audio lectures on Bhagavad-Gita as it is and your commentary on shloka’s are so clear and you give such nice practical examples that pierce through one’s heart.

One of the qualities for a leader is to influence everyone to follow his orders and when I read the book “Salted Breads”, I could understand how strong your influence was for the Russian devotees. During their initial stages, they never met you in person but your instructions were so strongly registered on their mind that even when in prison they made beads out of their daily breads and ensured that they don’t miss their daily chanting of the Holy name.
Really admire your leadership qualities !

On this Vyasapuja of yours, please bless me and my family to progress in Krishna Consciousness steadily and my taste for the chanting, reading and listening for the Lord increases.

Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna,
Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare

To,

Abhay Charanaravinda Bhaktivedanta Swami (Srila Prabhupada),

Harikrishna Prabhu,
Please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada. All glories to you on this auspicious day of your vyasapuja.
This is equally acceptable as an opening to your offering.

The birthday of guru is called vyāsa-pūjā.

Guru is the representative of Vyāsadeva.

This throne is called vyāsāsana, sitting place of Vyāsadeva.

The spiritual master is always by paramparā system.

Prabhu, you sowed the seed of bhakti in this age of Kali. Because of your mercy, we all nicely worshiping Krsna together.
You are the Bija for “The Krishna Conscious Movement” (ISKCON).

“Kṛṣṇa says, bahavo jñāna-tapasā. Jñāna, knowledge, and tapasā, austerities.
So this human life is meant for jñāna and tapasā. Then we become purified” if we don’t take tapasya and don’t take knowledge, then this human form of life is spoiled.

You are epitome for austerities and penances. Without your mercy, it is not possible for us to elevate in the path of Bhakti.
You have provided us all facilities like deities in temples to worship, books to read, audios to listen, songs to sing.

It Feels tough to follow regulative principles at first but with devotees association, kirtan, reading Bhagavad-gita & Bhagavatham, attending great senior devotees lectures, and especially your audios makes so much change in our life.
Every step is a challenge before coming to bhakti but after tasting your Vani and Literature it is easy to cross the ocean of this material world.

Your eternal servant,

Sreepathi

Dear Srila Prabhupada,

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to you and Sri Sri Gaur Nitai.

I always remember that you built a house (ISKCON) in which the whole world can live peacefully. By your blessings & instructions, so many of your dear disciples, grand disciples and followers have dedicated their lives to distribute your books, conducting Gita course followed by Bhakti Vriksha thereby bringing all auspiciousness in the lives of fallen souls like me. I strongly believe that this Krsna consciousness movement will spread to every town & village all over the world, as Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu predicted.

This would be possible by all our collective efforts to connect all newcomers to your association through hearing your lectures & reading your books. I could write this realization by attending your designed Bhakti Sastri course that offered deep study & systematic approach of learning the science of Krsna Consciousness. 

I’m endeavoring to achieve vyavasayatmika buddhi that this process of daily reading your books & hearing your lectures alongside following your instructions – especially chanting minimum 16 good rounds in brahma-muhurta & 4 regulative principles – is the only means (kevalam) to practice unflinching devotional service that pleases all devotees, Sri Guru and attracts the mercy of Sri Sri Gaur Nitai. 

I started reading Srimad Bhagavatam this year, which gives me immense realizations that I feel we can never come to realize what extent of your mercy is treasured in your purports. May I regularly read Srimad Bhagavatam & desire to follow every word of your instruction by your Divine Grace.

By the mercy of senior devotees, I have been given the responsibility to act as servant leader of Bhakti Vriksha. On this auspicious day of your Vyasapuja, I earnestly pray at your lotus feet to shower your blessings upon me & our BV family so that we become worthy instruments in your preaching mission.

Your Servant,

Krishna Mohan Golla

Dear,

Srila Prabhupada

Please except my humble obeisance unto your lotus feet.

I am full of sins and have very few good qualities. I have no qualification materially and spiritually speaking. But reading your books and hearing your lectures has brought about a big change in my life. And it has instilled a new fire in me to progress in Krishna consciousness

Regards,

Vibham Pandey

Dear,
Srila Prabhupada
Please except my humble obeisance un to your lotus feet.
I’m not well educated I’m not coming from nice family, I have no qualification materially and spiritually speaking, but I decided I give this life unto your lotus feet , I’m sure you’re make me qualified.
I want to serve Guru, gouranga, devotees, and
Cow’s. Please except me Prabhupada ??.

Dearest Srila Prabhupada,
Please accept my most humble obeisances at the dust of your lotus feet.

I’m eternally grateful to you for taking so much hardship and creating good fortune for many many generations in this kali-yuga. More I hear or read about your activities, your struggle, your unshakable faith, your translations and books, the more I appreciate you and the more I become fixed in my faith.

Your dear disciple HH Bhakti Charu Swami has kindly given me shelter and established my connection with you. Now we’re bereft of his physical association and he may be doing some other service as per your instructions. I wish to follow his footsteps and become Prabhupada-conscious in all my activities and thoughts.

If I can please you even in a very insignificant manner then it will be perfection of my life. Though for that also, I need your blessings.

Your eternally grateful servant

Revered Shrila Prabhupad,
Please accept my prostrated obeisances unto your lotus feet.
” nama om visnu-padaya krsna-presthaya bhu-tale

I am a soldier, having served across all the four cardinals of the
country came to B’luru to resettle.

During my Army service of 34
years I had rendered about four years in Mathura. Had frequent
occasions to visit the holy dham of Vrindavan {I know now}
If my memory is correct, I may per-chance would have had a glance of
great Swami ji during one such visit, only restricted move in the
temple was permitted then.
Years passed in uniform with little or no time for devotional
service, being engrossed in fulfilling materialistic needs of life.
Not knowing of Home, back to God head.
In B’luru I remain indebted to Sanjeev Pr /Aditi Mataji, who met us
as emissary of Srila Prabhupad. As destined, I also got the guidance
of Hg Acyuta Arjunasakha Das, who took pains of reaching our home
despite busy schedule, some time directing us towards our furtherance
in the path of Bhakti and some time praying/counselling some in utter
pain…..
Your divine grace Srila Prabhupada, my guide, senior devotees and
lovable peers in ISKCNO, Kadugudi that I have a completely changed my
life style, almost abiding by regulative principles, the Core intent
of the movement.
By the grace and blessings of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, Srila
Prabhupada, with no more excuses, I will be a successful devotee,
fully in devotional service/shiksha in days ahead.
I am sanguine that my unintentional mistakes in course of sadhana
will be ignored by you and correct path will be shown to serve your
lotus feet and the movement…

Hare Krisna.

Hare Krishna Prabhuji’s and Mataji’s,
Dandavat Pranam,
I am writing this letter for offering to prabhupada.
I am a very unqualified person to write this but as per order of my Guru i am writing .
I knew prabhupada through vaishnav’s from iskon and personally i knew when i read his books and his jaladuta prayer.

You are torchlight in my life .each and every step in my life i am taking your help either books or by hearing from your dispels or yours vani media.

From Krishna book 4th chapter i saw when kamsa heard from durga, Krishna already born he realized that and ask forgiveness to devaki and vasudeva .and then finally they forgiven also (Devotees are like bancha kalpataru) but when he went to his demon friend again his mind changed
i am also a kamsa mentality servant when i am with your (book) or with devotees association i am feeling sorry and i want to proceed in Krishna consciousness want to preach but when i am away i am drowning in this material life.
I am praying at your lotus feet and asking to give some mercy so that i can obey my guru and proceed in Krishna Consciousness. This prayer also i taken from your jaladuta prayer, and Here i am praying.
rajas tamo guṇe erā sabāi ācchanna
bāsudeb-kathā ruci nahe se prasanna
tabe jadi taba kṛpā hoy ahaitukī
sakal-i sambhava hoy tumi se kautukī

Means in this material world all are drowning but if your mercy is there then everything possible.
So in this servant of servant of servant mood i am praying at your lotus feet.
I don’t know much more, if any mistake is there please forgive me.
Hare Krishna

My Dear Grandpa

My heart overflows with

tears of gratitude

Thinking about the humble roles you played

in the mood of servitude

You chose to become a boatman

rowing us to the spiritual shores

But I continue to enjoy the material sea

In the pretext of my daily chores

Taking the role of a watchman

instructed us, being awake all night

But I am still at the beck and call of maya

Look at my pitiable plight

Playing the role of a postman

you delivered krishna’s messages

Alas! bewildered by my foolishness

I flip those books like mere textbook pages

But if you’ve chosen me to be your grandchild

I know you’ll not let my mind go wild

Watching  me roaming endlessly in this material world

I am sure, you’ll take this “rascal” back to your world

Yours’s eternally indebted grandchild

Preeti

Dearest Srila Prabhupada,
Please accept my humble obeisances at the dust of your lotus feet.

Srila Prabhupada, on the most auspicious day of your appearance, I feel extremely fortunate to share my thoughts with you. Kindly allow me to do so.

Thank you so much Srila Prabhupada for taking all risks and going to preach to the West on the order of your beloved Guru Maharaja. If you would have not taken such inconceivable risk at the very old age, the desire of acharyas and prediction of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu could not have manifested; we could not have got the association of your eternal associates, your beloved disciples.

Srila Prabhupada, amongst your many moons like disciples, Srila Bhakti Charu Swami Maharaja whose very existence was to glorify and keep you in the centre of ISKCON, risked his life for preaching Krishna consciousness in the West and left the planet on 4th July and went back to assist in your service. I am thankful to you for blessing me to become disciple of such a glorious disciple of yours. Srila Prabhupada, I am missing his physical association so much and have only option to associate with his vani now. In this situation, I feel very much inspired by your own example. Although you did not get much chance to associate with your Guru Maharaja, but you were always associating with his instructions and therefore you even got personal dreams and the moment to moment association of your Guru Maharaja. In this regard, I am nowhere in your comparison, Srila Prabhupada, but if you kindly bless me, I may also be able to associate with the instructions of my Guru Maharaja ideally as well and fulfil his desires and all the acharyas’, as exemplified by Your Divine Grace.

Begging for your mercy,
Your insignificant servant of servant

Hare Krishna My Dear Spiritual Grandfather,
Please accept my respectful obeisances unto your divine lotus feet.

I am not qualified to write about you but am still making my childish attempt to write something .
Srila prabhupada , you are an ocean of mercy. you have very mercifully picked and saved me from being rotten in this material world.

You gave me a goal and purpose of my life.
You gave me books whose every single word is so precious.

When I was reading Lilamrita I could feel that you had done so much for the whole world.You have given one of the best medicines of Srimad Bhagwatam and Kirtana.
In spite of being unqualified you have given me spiritual master.
You have given us ISKCON without which I can’t imagine to progress in spiritual life.

I have a desire to distribute your divine books which can change the life of people.Please shower your mercy so that I can become an instrument and please you and my spiritual master.

Thank you Srila Prabhupada for giving us everything.
Happy Vyasa Puja Srila Prabhupada.

Dear Srila Prabhupad,

Please accept our humble obeisances,

All glories to you,

On this most auspicious occasion of your appearance, we wish to express our heartfelt thanks and gratitude for making us qualified to take up the process of devotional service….!

You are our founder acharya and your books are the basis and law books for understanding the foundation of spiritual life. It’s so wonderful that even an atheist gets attracted to your purports, understanding the purpose of human life and devotion to the Supreme Lord simply by reading a few pages of your divine books.
Devotees are always delighted how even by holding and touching your books someone gets the sukrti of performing devotional service and may eventually take up Krsna consciousness someday!

Dear Prabhupad, just like how you describe about a pure devotee who has ornaments of divine qualities on him, you have exemplified the qualities of tolerance, humility, love, personal care discipline, sincerity of purpose, compassion and an uncompromising sense of the truth in all your dealings with people around !

We personally admire the kind of intense care and concern you showed with the devotees , that though most of them had no awareness about Indian culture, values or even knew about Krsna being the Supreme Personality of Godhead , simply by being with you and appreciating your qualities they were ready to surrender their lives to your purpose and mission… how wonderful is that Srila Prabhupad!!

We wish to also thank your disciples on this wonderful day, dear Prabhupad, on how they have tirelessly worked to save your precious lectures, books, conversations and letters and make them available for all of us very mercifully.
Please give us the strength to do nice sadana and follow the regulations. Along with mercy come strength, so we beg to shower your mercy on us, so that we will be able to avoid offenses at the lotus feet of all vaishnavas and gain the taste for chanting the holy name of the Lord.

Thank you for giving us this transcendental institution “ISKCON” which mercifully keeps us engaged at your service.

Thank you for the various ways of reciprocation that you have given us dear Srila Prabhupad ! Please bless all of us that we may submit to your will and become a useful instrument in your hands and mission !

All glories to your divine grace,

Your servants of your servants,
Premasundara Madhava Das,

Dear Respected Srila Prabhupada,

Please accept my respectful obeisances. All glories to you !!

Whenever anyone glorifies their guru , I always look for virtues that you possess as a Jagad guru dear Prabhupada.

Your chastisement is nothing but a big stick that kills the Aghasura in us – envy , greed and lust . Your ‘Sit properly ‘ instruction reverberates in our ears when we sit for chanting every morning . How compassionate can you be towards us, fallen souls who are don’t even know the correct method chanting .

Like a merciful parent you taught us how to make Prasadam , clean our altar , dress the deities and more important spread the love of Krishna to others !! What can be more selfless than this ! I Thankyou from the bottom of my heart for the matchless gift that you have given me in the form of my guru maharaj, HH Lokanatha swami maharaj who is an epitome of mercy !

Today and always praying to the lotus feet of Sri Sri Radha Shyamsunder to always keep you under Their shelter so that you may continue to empower generations to come !

Nitai Gaur Premanade Hari Hari Bol!!

Dear Srila Prabhupada,

Thank you for giving me Srila Gurudeva, His Grace Sriman Sankarshan Das Adhikari, who is loving embodiment of Your Grace.

Thank you for giving us Your books. Without them we cannot even take one single step forward in our spiritual journey.

Thank you for giving us ISKCON where we can meet with wonderful devotees, sing and dance with them, take prasadam with them.

Thank you for somehow or other using us for spreading this Krishna Consciousness movement throughout the world.

Thank you for giving us Krishna.

Thank you Krishna for giving us Srila Prabhupada.

Please bless that we can become pure devotees and spread this movement throughout the world.

Your aspiring eternal servant,
Amala Purana Das

Hare Krishna prabhuji pls consider my Prabhupad vyasapuja offering.

Dear Prabhupad,
Pls accept my most humble obeisances unto your holy lotus feet.

When I read Prabhupad Lilamrita, it strikes me how much pain you have taken to train many innumerable souls to learn of Krishna consciousness. Not bothering about your personnel comfort or basic necessities you have strived to build the soceity for Krishna consciousness. Where ordinary people talk about uniting nations, i wonder you have already done this long ago. We are all under shade of the umbrella that you have built. This has become a family. Wherever, in any corner of world we find devotees and our ISKCON centers. Would that be ever possible without your compassion.

This exactly is uniting everyone, bringing them to one roof as one family- Vasudaiva kutumbakam. You have given us a family of devotees where each one cares for others.
If not your compassion on all of us, how much we would have dwelled in sense gratification.

You have written so many books to guide us in the profound knowledge of Bhagavad Gita, Srimad Bhagavatam, Chaitanya Charitamrita and many many more. You are so expert in everything. I read that you have taught your disciples many skills like cooking, Vaishnava etiquettes, Deity worship, preaching – dealing with other devotees and even non devotees, financial matters(dealing temple property deligently) , and many more. This shows that you had so much enthusiasm and a vision of urgency in cultivating krishna consciousness to other souls.
You have exemplified by showing the jewles of Sadhana, sadachar, seva and satsanga. Your legacy is carried by your dear most disciples and Grand disciples and they whole heartedly serve the soceity and guide us at every step.
My Guru Maharaj HH Jayapataka swami has written a very beautiful song explaining his realization on you – Yadi Prabhupad na hoito. Every single verse in it shows his greatest respect towards you. I wish i can also develop such love and respect towards my Guru one day.

Thanks dear Prabhupad for placing me under your divine shelter and for giving me this wonderful family. Kindly bless us that my entire family practices krishna consciousness with enthusiasm and we always remain under the shade of your divine lotus feet.

Your spiritual grand daughter,

Dear Srila Prabhupada
Please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet.

I am not qualified to glorify the pure devotee like you srila prabhupada but if you can
bless me then by following the order of other senior devotees, I can speak few word about
you his divine grace for my purification.

How great a mercy and honour it is just to be connected, through the many avenues you
have created, to the current of your endless grace. Greater still is to be able to approach
you, in prayer, with a hope to be engaged in your service by offering you a humble homage
such as this.

Srila prabhupada ,you have given me a place where I can know about my trueself (I am not
this body but spirit soul),about Krishna (the supreme personality of godhead) and my
relationship with lord Krishna( Servant of the servant of servant of lord krishna).

Srila prabhupada, you are always living with us in the form of your divine instruction in
transcendental books and your recorded lecture which nourishes the creeper of our
Krishna consciousness. You will always be pre-eminent acharya in your ever growing family
“ISKCON”, because It is your causeless mercy upon badh-jiva(condition soul) like me for
whom, you have sacrificed all your comfort life & even you left vrindavan dham and
traveled to paschatye desh to distribute the love of godhead at the age of 70 years. At this
age devotees generally prefer to stay in vrindavan and do not want to go out so that he can
die in vrindavan only .But you left all this just to fulfill the order of your spiritual master and
being compassionate upon conditioned soul. Oh my dear srila prabhupada, I pray to your
lotus feet & beg your causeless mercy so that I can also follow your instruction as it is by
following instruction of my spiritual master H.H Gopal Krishna Goswami maharaj who is
your faithful disciple.

When I hear or read about your struggle in India for preaching and forming the “league of
devotees” even though you were not getting mush support from public and government,
tear comes in my eyes thinking that how much you were compassionate upon us. When you
traveled by cargo ship, you got 2 heart attack on ship but still you did not lose hope and by
meditating on the lotus feet of lord Krishna, you were fixed on the mission of your spiritual
master Srila bhakti shidhanta thakur swami maharaj. I pray to your lotus feet again and
again on this auspicious occasion of vyas puja and beg your causeless mercy that I can also
get strength and eagerness to follow and preach the glories of sri chaitnya mahaprabhu
under the direction of my spiritual master.

Srila prabhupada, I do not know how to preach sri chaitnya mahaprabhu’s message and serve
you as your faith full dog. Even though I have desire to serve you but I am not able to do so
because of anartha in my heart. One thing I know that you can make me useful from useless
,wise from foolish and perfect from imperfect if you desire .Therefore, Oh my beloved srila
prabhupada , kindly bestow you causeless mercy upon me and make me dance as you
like, make me dance as you like.

It is mention in srimad bhagwatam(SB 7.7.30-31) that one should accept a bona
fide spiritual master. My dear Srila prabhupada, it is because of your causeless
mercy, I got shelter of the lotus feet of my beloved spiritual master H.H Gopal
Krishna goswami guru maharaja who is your very dear disciple and who has
dedicated himself in preaching, printing books & its distribution, building
many temples in different cities and last but not the least, cooperation with his
God brothers & other devotees and guiding them whenever require specially in
some panic situation. Cooperation is require otherwise it will also disintegrate
like gaudia math which srila prabhupada does not want to happen.

guru-śuśrūṣayā bhaktyā
sarva-labdhārpaṇena ca
saṅgena sādhu-bhaktānām
īśvarārādhanena ca

śraddhayā tat-kathāyāṁ ca
kīrtanair guṇa-karmaṇām
tat-pādāmburuha-dhyānāt
tal-liṅgekṣārhaṇādibhiḥ

One must accept the bona fide spiritual master and render service unto him with great devotion and
faith. Whatever one has in one’s possession should be offered to the spiritual master, and in the
association of saintly persons and devotees one should worship the Lord, hear the glories of the Lord
with faith, glorify the transcendental qualities and activities of the Lord, always meditate on the
Lord’s lotus feet, and worship the Deity of the Lord strictly according to the injunctions of
the śāstra and guru.

My dear srila prabhupada, A good grand disciple can only understand your mood & mission
and dedicate their everything in your service but I am so foolish and unfortunate that I am
not able to do so as it is. Please forgive me for all my offences committed to your lotus feet
and please bless that the tendency of offending pure vaishnava like you also goes away
from my heart.

My only desire is to please my spiritual master in any case without fail, then only lord will
be pleased (ysaya prasada bhagvat prasado…) and always be in association of devotees. if
you so desire please bless me so that I can always be in devotee association and please my
spiritual master.

Thank you so much srila prabhupada. All glories to you srila prabhupada!

Your insignificant servant

Dear Srila Prabhupada,

Please accept our most humble obeisances unto your lotus feet on this auspicious occasion of your Vyasa Puja!!

Thank you so very much,words alone cant describe, for giving us the knowledge that how grave a situation we are all in and giving the sense of urgency to make our lives perfect in this lifetime itself – the only chance we have in this human form of life to exit from the repeated cycles of birth and death.

Your care and compassion for all is evident through your books where your message is loud and clear, just as a father would care for his children to make sure they are on the right path even if it means being hard on them, as its for their benefit.

You also gave us the one big family of devotees who are there to guide, support us in understanding your message and helping us stay afloat in our struggle in the material ocean of miseries. During these times of Covid-19 pandemic, your teachings are helping us immensely to deal with the various problems in this situation and helping us realize our position in relation to the Supreme Lord and nature of this material world.

You made perfect arrangements for us and have given us the complete platform to make our life a success, but we are unable to make best use of it as we are still in ignorance and keeping ourselves busy with the worldly affairs and wasting valuable time.

On this auspicious occasion of your vyasa puja, Srila Prabhupada, we beg for your mercy as without your blessings there is no hope for us to make advancement in our spiritual journey.

We pray to you that we can long for your continuous association through your books and make advancement towards Krishna. Please forgive us for our ignorance and bless us that we can endure patiently the dualities of this world and apply your teachings in our lives in carrying out our material and spiritual duties and can by example share your message to others around us.
