Offerings of Love

Dear Srila Prabhupada
Please accept my respectful obeisance
All glories to you.

Thank you so much Srila Prabhupada for giving us so many amazing books and translating books like Srimad Bhagavatam & Caitanya Caritamrta. I am trying to scrutinisingly study them and understand how to live in this material world. Thank you so much for giving us your association through the books.

We feel really obliged to come under your shelter, few years before we didn’t knew only about you and when we came to know about you we were mesmerised at your achievements at that age and in so much less time. We understood that you are a pure devotee of Lord Sri Krishna.

We seriously beg for your mercy Srila Prabhupada that we are able to chant nicely daily and preach. We want to become preachers of this message of Lord Caitanya. Seeking your blessings this day.

Yours eternally,

Dear Srila Prabhupada,

Please accept my respectful obeisance’s. All glories to you !!

After being associated with your glorious organization for more than 15 years, I am making a first attempt to put few lines of glorification and gratitude at your lotus feet on a piece of paper.

Although informally I have spoken about your glories on several occasions, but never attempted to write something on your birthday. I am such a fallen and wretched person that even to write few lines of Glorification of Your glorious self I need Your mercy.

Now that I have spoken about “Your Mercy” I want to thank you for saving me by “Your Causeless Mercy”:

• Thank you for creating Krishna Conscious warriors(devotees) who pulled me out of dark hell and handed over to me bead bag to kick start my service to you and Krishna by chanting the Holy name.
• Thank you for giving clarity on the Krishna Conscious philosophy , I was a wandering like a mad elephant with no ambition, you brought clarity in my life that Krishna is God and we as humans should serve him with a consciousness of being eternal servants.
• You showed by example , how to be a devotee, how to deal with a devotee, how to love a devotee, how to preach, how to manage, how to tolerate, how to forgive, how to pass Lord Nityananda’s Mercy. Thank you for all this. Despite reading so much, learning so much about you, I am a stone hearted person who is refusing to mend my ways, I always have difficulty in interaction with devotees due to my conditioning. Please bless me so that I become humble and realize that I am dependent on you and your warriors, like Purandara Dasa asked us to become “Guruvina Gulaama – Slave of your Guru” , I want to become one slave, but all the past conditioning and week will power stops me from becoming one. I from bottom of my heart thank you for making so wonder full devotees , they simple forgive all my misdeeds and accommodate me in your organization, engage me in services despite my infinite faults. Due to engagement in services I am saved from falling down fully into animalistic propensities.
• Laziness and complacency overcomes all my aspirations to strictly follow the devotional regime you provided us, by following which one can become a good servant/slave of Lord and Guru. Even at the ripe age you showed how to be enthusiastic, how to write/read books, how to be strict in your spiritual practices, thank you very much for being so compassionate towards us. At least by repeated contemplation of how you guided us someday by your mercy I will be able to follow all that you instructed (I mean atleast the basic instructions for a devotee)
• Your books are nectar , but due to lack of enthusiasm , strong interest, strong will power I am unable to taste that nectar daily and pass it on to others. By the grace of your warriors I sometimes feel a rush of adrenaline and go a reading marathon, which eventually dies out. On this one aspect of bhakti I need your special mercy, I want to be steady in my reading practices, which I am failing in my every attempt all these years. Sometimes I feel only a miracle can help me overcoming the mental blockage of steady reading habit of your books. I heard from HH Romapada Maharaja, that how you used to raise in the middle of night to write books for us and I, a thankless , lazy, ungrateful person does not even take time to read them. One thing I am sure Dear Srila Prabhupada that being with devotees and serving them, by their mercy, I may improve in this habit.
• Without you I would have been doing the same things again and again without deriving any happiness. Now I have bhajan, kirtan, katha, prasad, association of wonderful devotees, my kids are also engaged in various aspects of devotional life from very beginning of their life, all this is possible by Your grace and mercy upon generations to come. Thank you on behalf of Sunita, Vishnu and Arjun, for giving us a life of devotion.

• O Ocean of Mercy, although you are mercifully delivering me, I am unable to properly serve you at any time or in any way. I beg at your Lotus feet that Your merciful message of sanity continue to reverberate in my heart, subduing the egoism and foolishness therein, sustaining the conviction that I must remain at your lotus feet or I am doomed.
• Desiring to be your worthy servant, eternally indebted

These two, the sun and moon (Lord Sri Krsna Caitanya and Lord Nityananda), are very kind to the people of the world. Thus for the good fortune of all, They have appeared on the horizon of Bengal (CC Adi 1.102). They appeared on the horizon of Gauḍadeśa to spread the science of Kṛṣṇa consciousness, and as predicted that just as the sun and moon gradually move west, you brought the movement They began five hundred years ago to the Western civilizations. You truly are the jagad-guru; you are that senapati-bhakta of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu. Yet, out of humility, you attribute your contributions to your disciples.

Dear Srila Prabhupada, on your 125th appearance day, I pray to you, desiring to imbibe your mood in carrying out devotional service- not to maintain a rustic image of a lone Indian sage from an ancient village sparking a spiritual revolution; an image that might appeal to many on a superficial platform, but to fulfil the desires of your spiritual master and deliver the conditioned souls in the western world, who Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura said needed saving more than anyone.

You have given me the good fortune by which I am given the opportunity to chant the Holy Names, to have Lord Sri Krsna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Himself dance on my sinful serpent-like tongue. It is all by your causeless mercy that I am able to associate with the teachings of the most exalted acaryas, who are all eternal associates of the Lord (nitya siddhas). I meditate on how eternal associates of the Lord (nitya siddhas) like you descended to this martya loka, dukhalayam, facing so much criticism and suffering just to deliver the foolish suffering fallen souls, who are oblivious of their constitutional position, which is eternal. Yet, I am such a rascal that I often get bewildered and do not fix my consciousness.

“Devotees are always merciful, humble, truthful, equal to all, faultless, magnanimous, mild and clean. They are without material possessions, and they perform welfare work for everyone. They are peaceful, surrendered to Kṛṣṇa and desireless. They are indifferent to material acquisitions and are fixed in devotional service. They completely control the six bad qualities — lust, anger, greed and so forth. They eat only as much as required, and they are not inebriated. They are respectful, grave, compassionate and without false prestige. They are friendly, poetic, expert and silent.” Srila Prabhupada, you embody each and every quality mentioned in CC Madhya 22.78-80.

You are the uttama-adhikari devotee we have read of. You personify the qualities of a spiritual master that the Vedas sing of (vede gāy jāhāra carito). You embody humility; you considered yourself a servant of your disciples; you considered yourself to be fortunate to have the association of your disciples.

Srila Prabhupada, you can see the past, present and the future. You understand the mood of your disciples and reciprocate with them accordingly. I recall and meditate on the incident when one of your disciples remarked that he was the most fallen, and you replied, “you are not the most anything, you are simply insignificant.” Please make this insignificant and fallen rascal humble.

“O venerable Vaishnava, O ocean of mercy, be merciful unto your servant. Give me the shade of your lotus feet and purify me. I hold on to your lotus feet.”

“Krishna is yours; you have the power to give Him to me. I am simply running behind you shouting, “Krishna! Krishna!”

It is said that if one gets even one syllable from a guru, a person becomes eternally indebted to him for that spiritual gift. We are truly eternally indebted to you as we received thousands of purports, which comprise millions of syllables.

With a grateful heart, I beg at your lotus feet for your blessings so that I can serve you. The world has been blessed by your mercy. Please forgive me for my offences at your lotus feet and bless me with intelligence so that I do not commit offences further. Please give me the intelligence so that I can follow your teachings. I have no intelligence of my own. All that I have is your mercy.

Dear Srila Prabhupada,

Please accept my most humble respectful obeisances.

On your very auspicious 125th Vyasapuja day, it gives an utmost pleasure to share a few words for you. Forever grateful for saving me and all others souls from this miserable material world by giving the Bhakti cult process presented by Lord Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu. Your exemplary practical teachings were indeed direct, explicit, decisive, solution-oriented to root cause problems and eventually Krishna Conscious in its purest form.

Thankyou for giving us everything!!! Especially Krishna, ISKCON where we get to associate with devotees and practice Krishna Consciousness joyfully, the books which forms the basis when read and gives reflections about various facets of material and spritual life.

Requesting your blessings and unconditional mercy so that I can become an instrument in the hands of your pure devotees and spread this ever glorious sankirtan movement with utmost determination and faithfulness.

Respected Dear Srila Prabhupada,

Hare Krishna,

Please accept my humble obeisances unto your lotus feet. You have given me Krishna consciousness. You gave an opportunity to serve the Lord by taking his holy name. My heartfelt thanks to you Srila Prabhupada for your causeless mercy. By your mercy now I have understood the purpose of life by reading your books and hearing your lectures. Because of you now I have a hope to go back to Godhead. Thank you so much Srila Prabhupada.

Dear Srila Prabhupada
Please accept my respectful obeisance

All glories to you.

Being involved in this material nature fully, it was highly impossible for me to even believe that I can walk on the journey of spiritual life. But your mercy enabled me on this path by showing the light of divine teachings. So I’m very grateful to you!!

Would like to say that journey of your life truly inspires and motivate me as at the age when usually general people fear and wait for end of their lives , You started new journey of your life and your pure Krishna conscious soul awakened mankind with totally divine and joyful aspect of life. Your divine soul is mesmerising and a guiding light to us.

In this age of kali where all degraded souls are involved in toxicity, your preaching and writings are showing easiest way to come out of all the dirt and realise our love and connection to the supreme soul.

Thank you so much for all your selfless efforts and dedication to enlighten us.

Yours eternally,
Sachi, Krishna sevika

My dearmost Prabhupada,

Please accept my humble obeisances.

Thank you for taking mercy on me Prabhupada. After all, you are patita-pavana, and so it’s not surprising that you chose to take me in your shelter despite how gravely fallen I am.

Thank you for guiding me with your vani and your purports. You took so much pains to write the purports to so many transcendental books. I can feel you speaking to me and guiding me everyday via your purports. I would be so lost without them.

Earlier this month in Mayapur, as I sat meditating on you on the steps of your Pushpa samadhi mandir, you reciprocated so wonderfully to my prayers and apprehensions. It left me even more convinced that you are here with me every moment, helping me, guiding me and answering my prayers.

I can’t do anything without you. You often say with respect to devotional service ‘What is the difficulty’. Only if you are with me Prabhupada, there will be no difficulty. Else nothing seems possible. Prabhupada, you know it well that I am just a toddler in Bhakti. Please don’t leave my hand Prabhupada. I need you to be able to stand up and walk, now and forever. Please always be by my side as you have been.

Despite you being so kind, I often feel that I haven’t done anything for you or your mission. Please empower me so that I may do my bit.

Servant of the servant of your servant,

Monomita

Dear Srila Prabhupada,

Please accept our most humble Obeisances unto your lotus feet on this Glorious occasion of your 125th Vyasa Puja!!

May your glories continue to grow stronger and stronger year after year!! May more and more people get to understand, adopt and share Krishna consciousness and the whole world become Krishna conscious as you had wanted!!

Out of compassion and mercy upon all the fallen souls you gave us the absolute knowledge through your books and the purification process of Harinam sankirtan! Everytime we read your books we get to appreciate more and more of your mercy upon all of us. How much care you had for everyone and wanted all of us to make our this life itself a success. You have given us the sense of urgency and purpose. Chanting in your vani association gives us so much contentment in our hearts.

But Prabhupada, we are so conditioned that we are still taking this opportunity lightly.

We pray at your lotus feet to please bless us that we not only read your books but also understand and adapt your teachings in our lives so that we can do our sadhana attentively, endeavor to serve Gurudev in your mission and represent You and our Guru parampara nicely around us!

Your insignificant servants,

Dear Srila Prabhupad,

My heart felt sincere obeisance to you. I touch your feet to take your blessings.

I am short of words today to tell how deep a positive impact you have created in my life.

I have already been attracted to Krishna (when in my family – Lord Balaji and Ram have been the primary forms of Vishnu that are prayed to), and the attraction to Him was very gradually increasing.

Then I passed through some low time, which I now understand – was a shake from Krishna to pull me up. And then He handed over me to you – what else could I have asked for.

I have been hearing that the Guru would come in your life when the time comes, and then it happened on 23rd Aug 2020 that I started the Gita course from ISKCON Whitefield, and my life slowly started changing.

I have gradually but steadily moved upwards, and I can see that my anarthas are leaving and going off slowly. It is really like a dream for me – my Krishna has made me associate with people who only speak Krishna; and all glories to you to have started such an organization and laid its foundation in such a way that it is still continuing the same way- bringing so many souls into Krishna consciousness.

The more I hear about you, I get so astonished, but then I realise that only a real acharya from the spiritual world could have done this.

Also, what a splendid foresightedness – to have got all your lectures and classes recorded and that too in those early times of 1960s/70s- we are able to hear your voice and experience the divinity.

I hope by next year, with your blessings and Krishna’s Grace, I would have grown little more and would be able to write out my mind better and able to open up my heart in words.

My humble heart felt obeisance to you again.

Thank You
Regards
Balaji

On the auspicious occasion of the 125th Appearance Day of Srila Prabhupada, the founder-acharya of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON), I offer my humble and respectful obeisances.

Srila Prabhupada, is a true spiritual ambassador of India, instrumental in spreading the priceless treasure of Vedic knowledge globally, in a short span of time.

He endeavored tirelessly to create awareness of the great spiritual happiness that was available in devotional service to Lord Krishna.

A pure devotee of Lord Krishna, motivated by no desire other than to offer the greatest spiritual gift of devotion to Krishna to all human beings, Srila Prabhupada’s life is an inspiring story full of dedication and courage.

All glories to Him!

Hare Krishna!

Dear Srila Prabhupad,
Please accept my respectful and humble obeisances at Your Divine lotus feet on the occasion of Your 125th Vyasa puja. It is a fortune to be present at this auspicious time in the history of humanity on this planet. Your Divine Grace appeared on this planet to save suffering humanity. You have shared the most confidential spiritual knowledge to humanity to save us and give the most precious opportunity to be a part of Your mission, Lord Chaitanya’s Sankirtan Movement.

You endured many hardships and sacrificed Your life to fulfill the instructions of Your exalted Spiritual Master. You were never bogged down by the uncountable hurdles on your path and despite them, you moved with utmost faith and courage. It was Your unflinching faith in the Holyname and the unalloyed love and surrender to Your Spiritual Master – HDG Bhakti Siddhanta Saraswati Goswami Maharaj. I have read that Lord Rama had the support of Hanuman, Lord Chaitanya had the support of Lord Nityananda but Your Divine Grace, You had no support at all yet You were a one-man-army in Yourself and single handedly created a spiritual revolution on this planet.

You have given that which every soul is crying for but struggling to understand, due to contamination, what that craving is – the lost relationship with the very source and core of our existence – the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Your Dear Lord, Krishna.

You simplified the most confidential knowledge such that even the most unintelligent (spiritually) may understand and by Your mercy millions like me, miserable souls have got access and opportunity to understand purpose and direction for life. You not just wrote the books of knowledge, you personally carried reams of paper and got it printed, then bound them and personally distributed them. I have never heard of any other saint who has been so selfless, courageous, intelligent, a profound visionary and who taught the language of genuine love. Your Lilamrta is the most powerful book that I have read in my life.

You not just gave knowledge but most importantly You created a complete ecosystem in the form of the temples, deity worship, the system of mentoring, community programs and support – for people to practice this Krishna Consciousness and achieve success.

To create a process is probably the most difficult but You gave a practice-able process according to the limitations of this Kaliyuga but without any compromise in the principles. It’s a proof of Your superior vision, intelligence and mission of Your appearance.

You also gave precious jewelstones in Your beloved disciples who are brightening our lives through exemplary character, dealings, firm determination and unending love for you, who are working day-night as Your warriors to bring as many souls closer to You and Your teachings – the gateway to Godhead. We see You in them. I have learnt the meaning of love from Your life and Your beloved disciples. I personally am very grateful to You for giving the benediction of Srila Gurudev in my life without whom my life was a dark endless tunnel. Thank You immensely Srila Prabhupad.

I pray to You to forgive my offences and give me opportunity to serve You in Your mission as a servant of my Gurudev. I beg You to make me an instrument to spread Your teachings all over. Your glories are to be known by everyone especially the children. Please bestow Your blessings to spread Your glories and teachings.

I also pray to You to give Your blessings and shelter at Your lotus feet to my son and surrender to Your lotus feet to my husband to progress on this path of Bhakti.

I pray to You to protect me eternally in Your shelter and at Gurudev’s lotus feet and use this life meaningfully to the fullest extent for Your pleasure and Gurudev’s pleasure. I am praying for Your mercy, service, protection and guidance, Srila Prabhupad.

All glories to your divine grace all glories to your lotus feet

Please Accept my respectful obeisance’s to your lotus feet

Srila Prabhupda we were reading your lilamrta every day and we can feel your pain and unimaginable sacrifices to spread lord chaitanya message to all over the world. Where ever your divine grace lotus feet touched it became a temple.

Groundbreaking was the First initiation ceremony in the USA arranging everything from fire sacrifice initiation cooking feast washing vessels at the end washing prasadam plates.

Not only that you preached staying at Bowery no facility and the crowd was completely influenced by the material energy. In your room lights were always on writing Srimad Bhagavatham commentary and singing Hari Hari bifale at late night remembering spiritual master instruction.

You mercifully arranged the first marriage ceremony for Janaki mataji & Mukunda prabhu guiding them in jewelry, dress, colour of the dress & fire sacrifice you took wonderful care. You are spiritual father for every fallen soul in your words “ever well wisher”.

First public sankirtan you performed at Washington square park.

From lilamrta

“A year ago, in Butler, the Agarwals had been sure that Prabhupäda had not come to America for followers. “He didn't want to make any waves," Sally had thought. But now he was making waves, walking through the New York City streets, headed for the first public chanting in America, followed by his first disciples.”
“With Prabhupäda leading they set out on that fair Sunday morning, walking the city blocks from Second Avenue to Washington Square in the heart of Greenwich Village. And the way Srila Prabhupada looked—just by walking he created a sensation.”
Your divine grace America was flooded with rock roll music and youths were exploited with senses, no hope for this planet but now you have mercifully descended as savior.
Your walk and first sankirtan at Washington park broke the silence of America not only that broke the silence of the universe. Your plantation of Gaura bhakti seed grown beyond this universe.

Without your unconditioned love on jive doya how can a person like me most insignificant soul know Krishna is supreme personality of God Head. Rotten soul loitering in this dangerous material world how can I able to chant hare Krishna maha mantra.

You said even dog can take a part of chanting hare Krishna maha mantra that was a big hope for me. Though I don’t have any qualification in bhakti you gave me your wonderful loving son HH Jayapataka Swami as my spiritual master. Also, you blessed us with many wonderful devotee’s lovable association. I have no intelligence I am the lowest among the fool to understand your philosophy and your transcendental writing. Bless me so that I can develop deep love and affection on your books, I take a owe that I will read your book. Seeking your blessing to understand your book and distribute your divine knowledge. Having very thick conditioning in my heart with your blessing soon I will be able to come out and serve you and your followers dear Srila Prabhupada.

Please forgive my offenses and I thank you from my bottom of heart for saving us from this most dangerous material world. All glories to your dust of lotus feet Serial Prabhupada.

Hare Krishna
I offer my most respectful obeisances at your lotus feet.

All all all glories to Jagat Guru Srila Prabhupada

Dear prabhupada,
Jodi prabhupada na hoito
Tobe ki hoeto
Ay jiban bahita kishe

My Gurumaharaj’s words are so true. Without you, i would have been lost in my wasteful life. I would have kept suffering under the beatings of Maya. I would never know about the most merciful Gauranga & Nityananda. I would have never known the importance and power of the Hare Krishna Mahamantra. Infact, i would never have known the very purpose of my this human life. If it wasn’t for you, I would have continued to struggle in the cycle of birth, death, old-age & disease. Now having come in the association of your pure servants, who are most wonderful devotees, because of your causeless mercy, i am realising what an ocean of bliss, mercy, joy this krishna consciousness is. You have taken unthinkable amount of pain just to deliver fallen souls like myself from this never ending ocean of worldly sufferings. Dearest Prabhupada without your mercy, i would have never got the mercy of my Gurumaharaj and without Gurudeva I would have not received the mercy of my Siksha gurus.

Without whom i am blind, i am directionless. Dear Prabhupada please shower your mercy & blessings upon me so that i can become a pure, strong and qualified soldier of your Krishna conscious army and serve my Gurumaharaj very nicely who is serving you in Caitanya Mahaprabhu’s mission so wonderfully. I want to become a qualified servant of my Gurumaharaj for your pleasure, oh Prabhupada and for the pleasure of Guru & Gauranga. You are my spiritual grandfather, and your love is boundless, you are so merciful and loving that even the most fallen soul like me can feel the mercy immediately in this krishna consciousness. You are always so caring towards us, who are your children. I am so hopeless and fallen that i do not even know how to properly express my gratitude. Please eternally keep me protected under your shelter Prabhupada. I love you a lot but i want to love you unconditionally and serve you unconditionally. Please accept my surrender at your lotus feet.

Your most insignificant servant,

Hare Krishna Srila Prabhupada;
All glories to you.

I am extremely thankful to you and very very grateful to you for all that you have done and given for me I am really very much indebted to you and your disciples and followers,
I was rotting in this material world not knowing anything only struggling hard for sense gratification but you have revealed to me what is the goal of life and what is the mission of life. It is only because of your causeless mercy I am practicing a tiny amount of devotional service and what ever I am doing or serving the devotees and the Lord it is only and only because of you srila Prabhupada for this I am eternally indebted to you if not you then I had no hope at all for serving the Lord and devotees. You have always been with me and guided me through your lectures and books. What can i do for you for all that you have done for me and doing for me i just want to serve you all my life and eternally srila Prabhupad this is my success of this life please I am begging forgiveness at your lotus feet for all the Offenses I have done to you and your disciples and the Lord unknowingly or knowingly due to being completely ignorant.

Please please help me and requesting your blessings Prabhupad so that I can become intense in devotional service and follow all the instructions of my Gurumaharaj as it is all the time through out my life and after. This is the only thing I want in my life Prabhupad and nothing else. Please keep me under shelter of your lotus feet Prabhupad else I have no hope for my life Prabhupad.

Thank you very much,
Your servant

Dear Srila Prabhupad,

Please accept my most humble obeisances to your holy lotus feet.

Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu and in his parampara Srila Bhaktivinod thakur both have predicted that a senapathi bhakt will appear who will preach the names & glories of the supreme lord throughout the world. After receiving instructions from Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvathi Thakur to preach the Krishna consciousness to the western world, Srila Prabhupad You have taken this great responsibility and proved the prophecy as conveyed by Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu.

You knew it very well that the whole world is watching and following the west and if these people could be elevated then the whole world will follow them. Your prediction has come true. It is so amazing to see so many Hare Krishna devotees throughout the world. Your compassion to fallen souls is unparalleled. With practically no money, no followers you started this movement of Krishna Consciousness. The Asset you had however was faith in the words of your Guru maharaj . This faith and your sincere effort has lead to transformation of so many lives throughout the world. Earlier only India was the center of all this transcendental knowledge but with your divine movement the whole world is rejoicing . You have left your precious vani via several lectures, books and so on which will help generations to come. You have shown that Chanting of holy name is not mundane but it is coming straight from the Goloka and those whoever chants the Holy name :

“ Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare ; Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare” will be freed from the entanglement of birth & death.

You have practically shown the importance of devotees association, following Vani of sri Guru, Vaishnava etiquettes. Your books are so impactful and knowledgeable. While people in general are contemplating on how to enjoy the life with sense gratification you have brought in concept of body & soul and clearly outlined this concept in the Bhagavad gita. It opens a thought process to those who hear and read your books to contemplate on these wonderful aspect and signifies the urgency to chant the holy names of the lord. There is always something new to learn from your books. You have also given us wonderful Guru parampara who guide us at all times. You have built a house where all of us including the future generations can come, learn & practice Krishna consciousness . We are eternally grateful to you Srila prabhupad. Kindly bless me that I always follow this path laid by you very sincerely and preach this at my limited ability and do not get deluded by other worldly attractions.
