Offerings of Love

My Dear Ajoba Srila Prabhupada🙏,

Please accept my humble obeisances,
I am a very fortunate soul that I found you and your teachings in this material world. It is through your books and the devotees I came to know about the Supreme Personality of God KRISHNA.
I always knew that KRISHNA is there but I never felt him with me until I met you through books, recorded lectures and devotees.
Lots of my unanswered questions got perfect answers. I am very thankful to you from within the core of my heart that my life got a meaning which I was always searching for.
Thank you for reminding me that I am a part and parcel of my beloved LORD KRISHNA.

Respected Srila Prabhupad,

Please accept my humble obeisances.🙏🙇‍♀️

All glories to you.

I consider this my great fortune that I get to know about you and the humanly impossible feat you accomplished for the ultimate benefit of humankind.
I have been ignorant all my life not realising what is the purpose of this human birth. It is your mercy that your teachings touched me through my Shiksha guru Hg Acyuta Arjunasakha Das and I have no words to express my gratitude for it. You took all the troubles in the world to follow the instructions of your Guru and in the process you have enlightened the mankind through the globe. Your books, this platform of Krsna Consciousness and simplified process of Bhakti that you gave has changed this world forever. Now, fallen souls like me see a hope to develop faith in Krishna and make this life worth by chanting the Holy name. I seek blessings of you, my guru and all devotees in my endeavour to walk on the path shown by you and be an insignificant soldier of your mission.

Your humble servant,
Tapan

Dear Srila Prabhupad

Please accept my respectful obesiences

All glories to you!

On this auspicious occasion of 125th vyasapuja I offer my pranam to srilaprabhupad.
I am not qualified to glorify the pure devotee like you srila prabhupad but if you can bless me then by following the order of senior devotees, I can speak few words about you his divine grace for my purification.

You are an ocean of mercy and you traveled to west to preach Krishna consciousness and you wrote the books to bring people closer to Krishna. You were always compassionate to all the people to take them from material world to back to godhead.

It is beyond my imagination how srilaprabhupad single handedly wrote so many books and amount of hardships he took to bring in movement of Krishna consciousness.

I want to thanks for changing my life, if you were not there I don’t know where I am, but yes I took many days to come to Krishna consciousness.you given us everything, how beautifully you have created Krishna consciousness setup for garihasthas like us.

You went to USA to spread Krishna consciousness at the age of 70 when most of the people are retire. Within span of 10 years, you have converted so many conditioned souls into wonderful devotees in and around the world. You are pure Devotee of krsna came to this world to inspire us to take Krishna conscious and take us back to godhead.

Srila prabhupada when I read your books I feel, you are instructing me through your books. Your books are saved so many souls in this world like me.

Srila prabhupada you are not an ordinary human being, you are representative of lord Krishna, you are senadhipathi bhakta of chaitanya mahaprabhu, you are the Param siksha Guru for all the Devotees.

Please give us the strength to do nice sadana and follow the regulations. 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 holyname of the lord.

I seek your blessings to make progress in this path of devotion.

Please accept our respectful obeisances

Dear Srila Prabhupada, thanks for your mercy which you are showering on us through your transcendental books,your lectures,your visuals,your audios of chanting Hare Krishna Mahamantra , various other vaishnava songs and association of devotees.All these always keep us motivated to stay in Krishna Consciousness.

You have given us this robust process of Krishna Consciousness just out of your causeless mercy ,though we fallen souls don’t deserve it at all ,but out of your compassion we got this mercy . Having access to all this treasure of your’s we are still not serious with this process of Krishna Consciousness.

So on this occasion of your 125th appearance day we recommit ourselves to this process of Chanting my rounds, reading your books, hearing your lectures on a daily basis. Recently I was hearing one of your lectures in which you asked about a particular shloka of Bhagwat Gita but audience present over there was not able to recollect that shloka and your response was “so you are not reading my books,you are just selling and am I writing these books just for selling ?”. So this shows how much importance you have given to reading your transcendental books.

We will never be able to understand you Srila Prabhupada with our imperfect senses but we have full faith in this process of Krishna Consciousness given by you. you literally burn midnight oil to provide this treasure to us. so again from today onward , now onward we will be more serious , recommit ourselves to this process of Krishna Consciousness.

Please forgive us dear Srila Prabhupada as we have made so many mistakes, we are making mistakes and we will make mistakes in future also but please continue shower your mercy on us ,as our efforts are very tiny , this is because of your mercy we are trying to practice Krishna Consciousness.

Also Srila Prabhupada thanks for keeping us always in association of devotees. your disciples and disciples of your disciples are taking good care of us.Thanks for everything Srila Prabhupada for core of our hearts, we will always remain indebted to you.

All glories to your lotus feet Srila Prabhupada .

Srila Prabhupada ki Jai.

Please keep me in Krishna Consciousness throughout, so that I can be servant of the servant of the servant of you and please keep me eligible to be so.

My dear Srila Prabhupada,
On this auspicious day of your 125th anniversary of your appearance, I am fortunate to express my heartfelt gratitude to you.
Thank you for giving me the precious jewel of Krishna Consciousness.
As Naradamuni instructed Vyasadev to write Krishna leela on every page of srimadbhagavatam, your beloved spiritual master instructed you to print books and preach Krishna consciousness in western world. You as senapati bhakta of Chaitanya maha Prabhu..fulfilled the instructions of your spiritual master.

You have created a beautiful Spiritual home (ISKCON ) in which entire world stay together and practice Krishna consciousness and go back home back to Godhead

Recently I started reading * A shower of divine compassion “.your heart felt songs composed during your spiritual journey. It was heart melting while feeling your compassion through the songs on the fallen souls to connect them back to spiritual father Krishna

Thank you for your wonderful teachings through your books. But I am so fallen somethings I can not understand with my dull head. Please be merciful on me, so that I can read all your books In this life time and be an instrument in your eternal preaching mission.

Dear Srila Prabhupada

All glories to you Srila Prabhupada.

Please accept by very humble and respectful obeisances.

Heartfelt gratitude for the ISKCON society, which you have created, and, for the teachings you have shared through your lectures, books and your disciples. If it wasn’t for your teachings, I would have been lost in this jungle of miseries. You have made the path, and, so beautifully paved it for us, so that we can follow you back to Godhead.
Prabhupada, your books are so enlightening. Everytime I realise, how much efforts you have taken to write the books, so that fallen souls like me, can be guided towards Home back to Godhead, I feel, I am not doing even the least effort to read and study them all.

Srila Prabhupada, since you are empowered by Krishna, and, you are an eternal beloved devotee of Krishna, you translated all the beautiful scriptures and wrote beautiful books. I am so fallen that I am not able to study your books regularly, and even when I study, my memory and intelligence is so very low that I am not able to recollect and comprehend whatever I have studied.

Today, I want to fall at your feet begging to you, to bless me, to be able to study and understand your books, so that I can pass it on effectively to many more souls, who are struggling like me in this world.

Praying and begging to You, to be able to serve You, in the way, You want me to serve,

HARE KRISHNA my dear spiritual grandfather Srila Prabhupada 🙏.
My heartfelt obeisance during your glorious 125th birthday.
All glories to you.

It is your devine birthday my spiritual grandfather and also my birthday from the darkness to KRISHNA consciousness.

I know it was not hidden from you, when I was also born on this day, that the entire Calcutta was flooded in 1978 and hence, I always remembered this day with sorrows. You made me realised how much blessed I am today, and what are the reasons of Sukha and Dukha in this material life.

Being surrounded by all great measteos in West Bengal, Shiksha was always my focus but I could never be satisfied with the University lectures as I could not retain them in my soul after passing those colleges. I was so fallen soul that I never thought of learning the true knowledge from Bhagavad Gita although I knew that Bhagavad Gita has all practical and scientific teachings of life which are eternal and trancedental.

It is Krishna’s mercy, Chaitanya Mahaprabhu’s demands and your grace that me and my family have started understanding the true Vedic knowledge and hence got a purpose of this material life.

You left with your precious Vani, priceless books in every cities, towns in this world which I beleive is enough assets for us to remain happy and make our transcendental journey successful in this Kali Yuga.

My dear grandfather, what I have to offer you? In reciprocation, you have offered me such a blissful Satsang, Seva and Bhakti which are main tatwa of my surviving today.

Please forgive me from all mistakes and consider me as a your grand child and please accept my Dandavat Pranaam with sincere respectful, blissful love in your devine Birthday.

Hare Krishna Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna Hare Hare; Hare Rama Hare Rama, Rama Rama Hare Hare. 🙏🙏

My humble pranams to the lotus feet of Sri Abhay Charanaravinda Bhaktivedanta Swami – Srila Prabhupādacharya

It goes without saying that for getting liberated from the shackles of birth n death – to attain supreme bliss r nirvana r emancipation from this world one should first find a suitable guru, fall at his/her lotus feet and surrender totally.

Dear Gurudev, personally I am indebted to your struggle for unfolding the Path of Krishna Consciousness to the wandering souls and elevating them to the spiritual journey. You are an incredible inspiration for each and every devotee by showing that age is not a matter for learning/preaching spirituality to the thirsty souls.

I thank you from the bottom of my heart for evincing interest and curiosity in spiritual matters and for reading many philosophical books and holy scriptures. You have guided me to minimize the mistakes and dangers on the path of spirituality and helped me to progress in the right direction.

Dear Srila Prabhupada,

Please accept my humble obeisances.

I am very fortunate to be able to write this offering on your 125th appearance day.

A life without purpose isn’t a life that is lived. Srila Prabhupad by making me aware of the purpose of my life you have given me an opportunity to live meaningfully than to merely exist and perish. The innumerable books that you have written are my shining light in the darkness of this world.
Each line that you have penned I see as a direct instruction. I consider myself fortunate because many a times questions that arise in my mind are answered within the next 10 mins of reading your books.

If not for your presence in my life, this lifetime would have gone begging bereft of Krishna’s service possibly like many lifetimes in the past. If I have any understanding of life it is only because of this movement that you have so mercifully started.

Your mercy is so unfathomable. Where you have seen everyone as either a potential or a current devotee.

I beg at your lotus feet to continue to keep me always in your service. Looking forward to your blessings that my enthusiasm to serve vaishnavas always remains.

As Srila Rupa Goswami in Upadeśāmṛta 3 says:

Dear Srila Prabhupada,

My heartful obeisances to all the great spiritual masters in the guru parampara. A special spiritual guru who gave a lot of books to open our dormant spiritual knowledge and the truth about our true self is you (Srila Prabhupada).

Your important lecture that gave an efficient solution for the soul to come out of this material world is the first step for spiritual life for beginners and that was to see in this human life as “we are not this body but the soul within”. That was a great start for spiritual life.

Your books made up my devotional library at home and all are still in progress. My only goal in this human life is to make use of all your teachings that you gave to us in your books and lectures and impart that eternal knowledge to every human being whom I come across in this life.

I pray to you to give me all strength to go ahead with this goal to get achieved that would value as much people as possible.

Your novice eternal servant,
Vennila

Dear Srila Prabhupada,

All glories to your divine grace. Please accept my humble obeisances.

As every year pass by , in the association of inspired devotees under your shelter, it becomes more and more clear & evident that in this world of Kaliyuga, what you have done to each of us is beyond our imagination.

You are the backbone of the devotee community and your past times thru lila mrta keeps inspiring every soul who is coming into Krishna Consciousness.

Your books are the heartbeat of our spiritual progress. If we read sincerely, tt helps us to chant better than yesterday

We are what we are today is because of you Srila Prabhupad.

You have given meaning to us otherwise would have been mundane life loitering in this material world.

It is amazing to see that with your divine association how the conditions soul are transforming every day , every minute every second in some part of the world.

Even though you are not in this physical world, but you are inspiring millions of souls.

I cannot imagine anybody doing that. You are the real magician, you are our path pradarshak, we are so so much dependent on you

Me and my family are very fortunate to be under your shelter & you are our real grand father who is the torch bearer for us and showing the path to come out of ignorance & onto the path of bhakti.

You have made Krishna Consciousnes easy to understand for everybody,…

I am offering a poem to you Srila Prabhpad. Please forgive me for my mistakes here.

कृष्ण भावना मृत है जीवन का सार

नहीं तो पढ़ रही थी माया की मार

एक प्यासे को होती है पानी की तलाश

श्रीला प्रभुपाद, आप आए मेरे जीवन में बन के कुछ खास

आप के छत्र छाया के बिना जीवन था नीरस और उदास

आप के किताब, भक्तों के संघ से आ पाया भक्ति के पास

बस श्रीला प्रभुपाद, हमें दिशा दिखाते रहिए

हम सब को अपने चरण कमलों के सेवा में लगाते रहिए 🙏🙏🙏

Thank you Srila Prabhupad … Thank you

Dear Srila Prabhupada,

Please accept our humble obeisances unto your divine lotus feet. On this auspicious appearance day of your Divine Grace we would like to express our sincere heart felt gratitude for showing us the path to attain Krishna.

In Bhagavad Gita chapter 16 shloka 24 Lord Krishna says one should understand what is duty and what is not duty by the regulations of the scriptures. And knowing such rules and regulations one should act so that he may be gradually elevated. Our senses have 4 defects : They are imperfect, they have a propensity for cheating, they commit mistakes and they are under illusion.

Therefore in chapter 4 shloka 34 of Bhagavad Gita, Krishna says, Just try to learn the truth by approaching a spiritual master. Inquire from him submissively and render service unto him. The self realised soul can impart knowledge as they have seen the truth.

Srila Prabhupada, your teacher Bhakti Siddhanta Saraswati asked you to go around the world and teach Krishna consciousness. Srila Prabhupada you had a lot of love and reverence for your teacher . And you simply followed his instructions inspite of the difficulties you faced in the path of spreading Krishna consciousness.

Your books have saved us from this materialistic existence and we are always indebted to you for having saved us from this material existence. You have come to this material world to deliver the fallen souls like us.

We have a strong desire to purify ourself and chant offensively. Please shower your mercy on us.

Your servant,

Ramesh, Vinodha.

When I first read your Perfect Questions Perfect Answers book in 2002, I was amazed by the answers you gave. You said, “Krishna means all attractive. Unless God is all attractive how can he be God? Therefore, if God has any name, or if you want to give any name to God, only ‘Krsna’ can be given”. I never heard such an answer before. Though I always believed in God in my childhood, it was a mere sentiment rather than conviction and faith. Your words have made me think, “This person who is giving such wonderful answers is really amazing”. Little did I know that my connection with you and Krishna Conscious journey has started from that time.

Again in 2007, during my Post Graduate college, I saw the same PQPA book displayed after Bhagavad Gita discourse by one devotee in my hostel. I could immediately remember the book I had read long ago. Thereafter my connection with you and faith on you has further developed by reading your books and hearing your lectures.

Had you not come into my life in the form of a book, I can’t even imagine my current situation. I always felt deep connection with your divine grace from the day I have read PQPA book. You are the Perfect teacher, Loving father, and Krishna’s most beloved devotee. You has come to show us that, it is indeed possible to live by Vedic standards and achieve Krsna prema just by following the words of a Bonafide Spiritual master.

In this age of hypocrisy, quarrel, vice, groupism, etc., you showed us how to be genuine, how to lead by example, how to walk the talk, how to be a perfect teacher and a great leader. Though I lack all those good qualities of a devotee, my only qualification if any is faith in your words. I never had even an iota of doubt in your words. I humbly beg that my faith in your teachings increase more and more. I wish to come to a stage where I conduct my behaviour as per the standards set by you. I want to follow Krishna Consciousness only to please Krishna and Your Divine Grace and nothing else. Please give me strength to properly understand your instructions and follow them.

Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu is called patita pavana. Being an empowered acharya in the line of Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, you have also come to help fallen souls like me and make us taste the nectar of Krishna prema. I humbly beg for your mercy that I get full conviction that Krishna is indeed the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Who else, other than you, can I seek shelter and mercy from?

From the lectures of HH Romapada Swami Maharaja, I can feel his love for you. I can feel the love and genuine affection that you have showered on your disciples, which have made them dedicate their life for your mission. Please shower that mercy on me too.

Please bless all our Bhakti Vriksha members who are so sincerely trying to understand your message.

Please bless all the Vaishnavas who are sincerely trying to spread your message.

Please bless and shower your mercy on myself and my wife Neelima. You are our real shelter.

Your servant,
Mallikarjuna

On this auspicious day we have no words to explain his glories.without his efforts we can’t imagine the whole world is in one string of krishna conciousness. At the age of retire he came out without any resources only with his guru’s will and with his blessings he succeed in unimanigable spiritual journey. Truly he is a Gem of india ,should be included in 7 previous stones of india.

My humble respectful obeisance to him🙏🙏🙏🙏

Please accept humble obeseinses to the greatest devotee who has come on this planet to deliver all degraded souls on this planet. When Krishna wish to purify this material world he sent purest devotee like you. At the age of 70 most wants to Retire but you Retried to spread the Krishna Consciousness. This world might have not thought that one person comes from Vaikunta, will work 22 hours and sleep 2 hours with Elephantinefocused advantage , whose only wish to spread the glories of the lord though mission called ISKCON with order of spiritual master Srila Bhakthi SiddhantaSaraswathi Thakur.

“Guru-mukha-padma-vakya, cittete koriya aikya “

Your mind desire nothing but the service of Kṛishna.

You have established gutu tattva with ISKCON. And learning which I am gaining in my day to day life from your purports from Bhagavad Gita, Teachings of Lord Caitanya, Raja Vidya, Beyond Birth and death are cleansing my heart and mind. When I was finding my purpose my life and when I was asking why me? Krishna has sent you in my life. And finally understood attening Krishna and serving you is goal of life.

During this pandemic ISKCON devotees have served food to so many people with Akshaya Patra Foundation, which is only because of your mission “No one should go hungry in 10 miles radius of Temple”.

I have no words to explain on Hare Krishna MahaMantra. The Mantra itself brings the peace of mind and brings the positivity in life. All glories to you.

Please accept these words from bottom of my heart on this beautiful occasion of Vyasa-Puja.

Hare Krishna,

Your Servant,
