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

Guru is the most important person in our life because Guru is the one who takes us from darkness to light. Guru is our good guide, teacher and also a good friend. We all need a guru in life, because guru only shows us the right path. The Guru tells us about the weaknesses we have and corrects them. He teaches us how to live and what is right and wrong for us.

Dear Gurudev, you showed me the path on which you have walked. Whatever you say, you say from your own experience and personally I am indebted to your struggle for unfolding the Path of Krishna Consciousness to the wandering souls and elevate 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 the spirituality to the thirsty souls.

Life is full of opposite values, and they pull you in different directions. When the complications in life become too much, the poor mind is unable to handle it, and it just breaks down. That is when it needs support. And for that, the Guru is available. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for evincing interest and curiosity in spiritual matters and to read many philosophical books and holy scriptures. You have guided me to minimize the mistakes and dangers on the path of spirituality and helping me to progress in the right direction.

Offering by Rajesh Divate

Dear Srila Prabhupada,

Please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet. Thank you for coming into my life and sending me the association of devotees wherever I have been travelling.

You have provided us a very joyous lifestyle –Association of devotees, Sankirtan, Morning Program, Prasadam, Yatra, Various Festivals, Book distribution etc which makes our life so blissful. I had no knowledge about Krishna Consciousness and was simply doing various religious activities without experiencing any bliss that we find in Krishna Consciousness.

It’s only because of your efforts, Iskcon has become so popular today that I see devotees in each and every town / city wherever I have travelled.

Prabhupada, I sincerely admit that I’m not capable of serving you in any way. I am still struggling with my mind/ sadhana and it’s only by your mercy that I can use this human life to please you & move closer to Krishna.

Please help me to become qualified to take shelter at your lotus feet & serve you in every possible way.

Your humble servant,
Rajesh Divate

Offering by Kumkum Sarkar

Dear Prabhupada,
Please accept my humble obeisances to your lotus feet. I am so small and ignorant that I can’t find word to express my gratitude and love to you. My journey to Krishna consciousness started by taking part in a quize competition on your life story in Kolkata Rath Yatra festival… On that moment you gave me so much mercy that, being so much fallen still I am in Krishna consciousness. As I was not progressing, you sent your dear son HH Bhakti Chari Swami Gurumaharaj, so that I can understand what is the purpose of this human life. By your mercy, I became a human…..now trying to catch the dust of your lotus feet. I know you r soo kind that you will always bestow mercy to me and my family and soon will get Krishna prem through your all deciples. Please keep blessing on me, so that I can protect myself from maya.

Dear Srila Prabhupada,

Hare Krishna, Dandavat Pranam,

I take this opportunity to express my gratitude to you for the immense contribution you have made in my life which was otherwise going on aimlessly before. You have taught to the world the purpose of one’s existence and the way to come out of it. Reading the books written by you deepens my faith in Krishna and keeps me motivated to follow this wonderful path of Krishna consciousness.

Many thanks Praphupada Ji for taking and guiding me through this spiritual journey.

Offering by P.HARITHA MATAJI

Dandavat pranam GURUJI,

All glories to Srila Prabhupada and please accept my humble obeisance. 🙏

I am very fortunate to get a chance to offer my gratitude on the auspicious day of your 126th year of appearance. Prabhupada, you have imparted precious teachings through your BOOKS to us. These treasure troves are the stepping stones for everyone to improve their quality of life.

Your gift to us in the form of ISKCON has helped us to grow faithfully and serve LORD KRISHNA better. Several unknown mysteries have been unravelled through your lectures and books about SRI SRI RADHA MADANMOHAN.

Every visit to the centre is helping us in enjoying the grace of your holiness. The fruits of serving the LORD are being felt by me every moment.

I sincerely hope to spread the chanting of Hare Krishna mahamantra to one and all.

Please continue to shower your benevolence on us. 🙏

Your servant of servants

Offering by Abhishek Kumar

Dear Srila Prabhupada,

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

This is my first offering to you Srila Prabhupada. I don’t know how to express my gratitude for everything that you have done for us. You accepted so many inconveniences and tribulations and disappointments just to spread the message of Krishna Consciousness. By your grace, only conditioned souls like me are able to chant the name of Krishna and are getting His blessings.

You brought light into my dark life and gave a purpose and direction to my life. You gave us the highest philosophy and explained to us what supreme Absolute truth is. Your mercy is the only thing that can save us from this dark cold world.

Thank you Srila Prabhupada for giving us such a nice programme of chanting Hare Krishna and Spreading Hare Krishna. You fully understood how to engage everyone in Krishna’s service and by your vision today ISKCON is able to connect with so many youths like me.

They are taking up Krishan consciousness because of its sublime philosophy and beautiful engagement that your movement offers

Kindly bless me so that I can continue my journey on this path till my last breath. I just wish to serve you and your representatives sincerely without committing any offence.

Your servant,
Abhishek Kumar

Offering by Atichandra Gaur Das

My Dear Srila Prabhupada,

Please accept my humble obesciences.
All glories to you,
Friend of the fallen,

I am writing this offering on your 126th vyas puja.

When I see so many fortunate people who have accepted Krishna consciousness then I realise that it is because of you there lives have saved. I am travelling in train while writing this offering and when I see that people are simply eating what they want then I think you have saved me from so many sins by teaching us how to offer to Krishna and take Prasadam which after so many years I learnt that it is not very difficult. As you mention in CC purport that by mercy of Lord difficult things become easy and here is what I see.

I was listening to your lecture where you were stressing so much on book reading. You were saying that ‘I am writing this books day and night so that you all take benefits’ but I am so unfortunate that I am not endovering as much as I can to read your books. On this Vyas Puja day I will now make all my efforts to read your books everyday.

This pandemic has changed life of so many people and when I saw many videos where people are taking shelter of ISKCON for Food, Shelter, emotional needs I understand that only Krishna Consciousness can save the world from all these miseries.

During our preaching activities whenever I ask a question to new people that what they ultimately want in there life and response I always get is ‘Happiness and Peace’ and it is because of you only I am able to understand the real meaning of peace and Happiness.

Last year in Book marathon while distributing books I came to meet so many people who were saying that we are waiting for this book. And that what you say in lectures that people are waiting outside. This inspires me to continue go on book distribution. I pray at your lotus feet to kindly remove all my false pride while doing any service that pleases you and your desciples.

Current I am serving at my capacity whatever the local temple authority instructs me.

I have heard that Grandfather has a special love for grandchild so a grand desciples please forgive me for all my foolish mistakes that I have made.

Your meanial servant,
Atichandra Gaur Das

Offering by Sarvanatha Krsna Das & Family

Dear Srila Prabhupada,

nama om vishnu-padaya krishna-preshthaya bhu-tale
srimate bhaktivedanta-svamin iti namine
namas te sarasvate deve gaura-vani-pracarine
nirvisesha-sunyavadi-pascatya-desa-tarine

Please accept my respectful obeisances unto your lotus feet. All glories to you! On this auspicious occasion of your 126th Vyasa Puja, I shall attempt to glorify your Divine Grace, although I have absolutely no qualification.

tava kathāmṛtaṁ tapta-jīvanaṁ
kavibhir īḍitaṁ kalmaṣāpaham
śravaṇa-maṅgalaṁ śrīmad ātataṁ
bhuvi gṛṇanti ye bhūri-dā janāḥ

This verse from Gopi Gita [SB 10.31.9] which translates to “the nectar of Your words and the descriptions of Your activities are the life and soul of those suffering in this material world. These narrations, transmitted by learned sages, eradicate one’s sinful reactions and bestow good fortune upon whoever hears them. These narrations are broadcast all over the world and are filled with spiritual power. Certainly those who spread the message of Godhead are most munificent.” Certainly, Srila Prabhupada, you are the most munificent.

yadi Prabhupada na hoito tabe ki hoito
(e) jivana bahita kise?
nitai-gaurera apara karuna ke dita sakala dese

Srila Prabhupada, if you had not come, what would have happened? How could we have passed our lives? Who else would have distributed the unlimited mercy of Lord Nityananda and Lord Gauranga all over the world?

Merciful souls like you, being eternal associates of Lord Krishna descend to this mortal world, the abode of miseries, just to deliver fallen souls like me. There was no need to undergo so much difficulty, but you decided to single-handedly write books, distribute them, travel to western countries, and take all kinds of inconveniences, just out of compassion for the living entities stuck in the vicious cycle of birth and death.

Your focus on Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura’s instruction to print and distribute books is remarkable. I recall how you did not care for food, saved on transport costs, just to print books; the innumerable nights you spent translating the scriptures, compiling the commentaries and dictating the purports on the dictaphone, irrespective of your busy schedule or failing health. You took Lord Sri Krsna Caitanya’s message of “pṛthivīte āche yata nagarādi grāma, sarvatra pracāra haibe mora nāma” as your life’s mission.

Each of the previous acharyas accomplished one significant task. But you did all the tasks that the establishment of the movement of Krishna consciousness entails. Evidently, you embody all the great qualities of the previous acharyas. You truly are the jagad-guru; you are that senapati-bhakta of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu.

You not only taught us the art of living, but also the art of dying. You taught the world every aspect of life, based on scriptures in your lectures and books. You taught us how to remain equipoised and unperturbed in every situation. When you lost all hopes in your business in your early days, you remembered Krishna’s words (SB 10.88.8: yasyāham anugṛhṇāmi/ hariṣye tad-dhanaṁ śanaiḥ/ tato ’dhanaṁ tyajanty asya/ svajanā duḥkha-duḥkhitam). You had firm faith and conviction in the words of your spiritual master. You preached to the westerners without altering the truth, irrespective of whether or not they would accept the harsh realities, and boldly spoke against their abominable habits.

You embody humility; you considered yourself a servant of your disciples; you considered yourself to be fortunate to have the association of your disciples.

ekākī āmāra, nāhi pāya bala,
hari-nāma-sańkīrtane
tumi kṛpā kori’, śraddhā-bindu diyā,
deho’ kṛṣṇa-nāma-dhane

“I do not find the strength to carry on alone the sankirtana of the holy name of Hari. Please bless me by giving me just one drop of faith with which to obtain the great treasure of the holy name of Krsna.” It’s deeply inspiring when you said that even if nobody’s willing to listen to us when we try to preach, cry out to the sun and the moon; cry out in the wilderness.

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. Your witty answers to the most challenging of questions serve as an inspiration to us to preach.

Ohe! vaishnaba thakura, doyara sagara,
e dase koruna kori’
diya pada-chaya, sodho he amaya,
tomara carana dhori

“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 se tomara, krishna dite paro,
tomara sakati ache
ami to’ kangala, ‘krishna’ ‘krishna’ boli’,
dhai tava pache pache

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

śakti-buddhi-hīna, āmi ati dīna,
koro’ more ātma-sātha

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.

Your useless and insignificant servants,

Offering by Ramakumar

Dear Prabhupad,
My humble obeisance to your lotus feet. All glories to you. You are the saviour of this millennium.
I am fortunate to have connected with ISKCON for the last 3-4 years and received your mercy through your books, lectures, letters and temples. I started my baby steps in understanding Krishna Consciousness and Guru Gauranga’s devotional service process. I am becoming strong and pure by the process of chanting, reading books and hearing your Vani daily. Your writings and divine process are straightforward to understand and elaborate to meditate. Now, I can understand my constitutional position and goal in life.
All glories to my mentors and co-devotees who are always with me and guiding me on this path. I got an opportunity to serve as an in-charge for the book stall at the recent Janmashtami celebration in one of the centres. It gave me immense pleasure and bliss to serve, and I want to become an instrument in spreading Krishna Bhakti to others. I beg your mercy in providing energy to continue my journey in Krishna Consciousness and serving Guru and Gauranga.
All glories and glories to you Prabhupad.
Your servant of servent of servent.

Offering by Mrudula Ravindran

Respected Srila Prabhupada
Humble obeisances.
I am yet to be into Krishna Consciousness. When everyone around me stops me from KC, still I don’t keep my foot back though I don’t put forward also. But when I read about you, I just wonder why should a 70 year old deceased person with three heart attacks do voyage in a cargo ship for 35 days to western countries of different cultures just having 40 rupees in hand, not knowing anyone over there, not knowing where to go…
Another thing about you that amazes me is, how could you write around 80 books and translate many after your 70. …
Thirdly you made it point to build 108 Iskcon temples across the world.

I thought Sanskrit knowledge is a must to read Bhagavad Gita and Bhagavatham. Your books proved me wrong. The deep minute explanations given in the books are exemplary.
Though many are trying to bring out the Puranas to light, only to a limited locality. You made it world wide.
I always have a question, who felt God, who told about Him for the first time. Except these sastras what could be that. Thank you very much for making it understandable even to fallen people like me.
You live through your books always as you said.
Your words are motivating and deeds are inspiring. I adhore You
Please forgive me if I have gone wrong anywhere in my words.
Humble Pranam🙏🏻

Hare Krishna Dear Srila Prabhupada,

Please accept my respectful obeisances !!!

Though I don’t have any qualification to offer homage unto your exalted divine self,
But trying to do a small offering for my entire family purification.

I always wonder how you could able to establish ISKCON: a wonderful spiritual family, touring the entire world many times at fag end of your life. Thank you for spreading the Hare Krishna maha-mantra all over the planet. You are the real Jagath Guru, in taking Lord chaitanya’s preaching mission to entire world.

I offer satha-koti-dandavath-pranams at your divine lotus feet, as you have given us

HH Jayapataka swami, your loving spiritual son as Spiritual Master for our family members. But I am a rascal/fool that I don’t have sincere service attitude, may be due to lack of reading your divine books, I will try to put constant effort to read your books on daily basis.

I humbly praying at your divine lotus feet, to shower special mercy on our BV members to take up Krishna consciousness joyfully by taking shelter of a guru and be part of your Preaching movement. That is the only way, We can please your divine self.

My father, your spiritual Grand son, during his final journey, requested our family members to establish a small Bhakti center at our native town, which is around 800 kms from Bangalore. We are not sure how we can fulfil his spiritual desire and completely depending on Krishna’s mercy. I am trying to draw inspiration From your life teachings when I embark for such difficult preaching activities, under the guidance of Senior Devotees and Also completely depending on your mercy

Thank you Srila Prabhupada for making my life and giving my life’s real goal. I will try my best to follow your teachings.

Dear Srila Prabhupada,

Please accept our most humble Obeisances unto your lotus feet!!

Once when you were asked by reporters of the grand reception that you had “What do you think of this reception?” you said “I am not very much fond of reception. I want to know how people give reception to this movement. That is my concern.”

You were always in service to your Guru and Krishna and saw ISKCON and its success as your service to your Gurumaharaj and advised all of us to maintain and increase it as our service to you and our spiritual master.

Your compassion, love and care for all was always forefront, not only for humans but also for all living beings. When you were leaving the Lenon estate after staying there for a few months,you went for a final walk to say goodbye to your friends and touched the trees, their leaves, like you used to on your morning walks during your stay. The next day there was a big storm and several trees got uprooted- liberated by your association!

By your mercy Srila Prabhupada, this year our humble center Iskcon Whitefield under the wonderful guidance of HG Harikshetra prji celebrated Janmashtami at seven places. People came in large numbers and were expressing their happiness to see such grand Janamashtami celebrations for the first time in this area. People were amazed to see all devotees happily and lovingly serving together throughout the day without showing any sign of tiredness or frown on their face. We all appeared to them as one big happy family despite the visible bodily diversities and they showed their eagerness to become a part of it. Devotee kids utilizing their talents in various services were a point of attraction and inspiration for many parents who expressed their desire to see their kids also grow up like them.State leaders had also arrived conveying the same feelings, appreciating the services of ISKCON to the society and pledged their continued support for ISKCON in the area.

All of this is because of your causeless mercy and compassion Srila Prabhupada!!

We pray at your lotus feet to please bless our humble center and all the devotees so that we can serve in your mission to spread Krishna consciousness around us as per the knowledge given by you, selflessly and in togetherness despite the difficulties that are presented to us!

Srila Prabhupada, you are our most loving compassionate grandfather and we are ignorant fools puffed up with false ego in need of your special mercy. Begging you to please bless us that we can read your books and endeavor to apply the teachings in our lives, develop some taste in chanting and always remain Krishna conscious, so that we can present ourselves as good examples to the society based on your teachings and be seen as an inspiration!

Dear Srila Prabhupada,

All glories to you.

Please accept our humble obeisances.

You carried out the instructions of your spirtual master Srila Bhakti Siddhanta Saraswati Thakur with so much conviction and sheer determination. By this you have set us the greatest example why we should follow Spirtual Masters instructions, why we should take shelter of a bonafide Guru. These instruction of yours has enabled us and made us serious enough to take shelter of Guru. Otherwise we would have just been hanging around without any clear path spiritually.

You have devised means by which people may somehow or the other come to Krishna Consciousness. You were always in a mood of yare dekha, tare kaha Krsna upadesa. We pray at your lotus feet that we too imbibe this mood of yours and do whatever we can in the smallest possible way to connect mankind to Supreme Personality of Godhead.

If your guidance through various vedic purports weren’t there then we would have wasted our life doing nothing. You have made us realize the importance of getting a human body and how we should use our senses. We both are eternally indebted to you for guiding us to take the path of devotional service. We seek your blessings so that we may continue serving you and Krishna sincerely.

Srila Prabhupad

Please accept my respectful and humble obeisances at Your divine lotus feet on the auspicious occasion of You 126th Vyas Puja. You are the Yugacharya who appeared to save humanity from the darkness of ignorance. You tolerated extreme obstacles in the material world to fulfill the instructions of Your beloved Spiritual Master the most exalted HDG Bhakti Siddhanta Saraswati Thakur, which was the very purpose of Your appearance in this world.

Srila Prabhupad You are the crest jewel of all transcendentalists for You taught the highest knowledge in a very easy way and to the most fallen population of this kaliyuga. You brought the most esoteric philosophy of Vraja Bhakti and distributed it freely all over the world as the commander in chief of Lord Chaitanya’s army. And you taught the pure, core philosophy so easily that even the most unintelligent person can understand and simply kickstart their spiritual life by hearing from You just once. GuruMahraj says Lord Ram had the help of Hanuman , Lord Chaitanya had Lord Nityananda but You had none to help you but by Your spiritual strength You single handedly created a spiritual revolution on this planet.

Your BhaktiVedanta Purports shed light into the heart of conditioned souls. You save suffering souls like me and pour Your mercy through Your books by giving knowledge of the who God and what is our relationship with the Supreme . You explain with such simplicity the purpose of life without which people like me were wandering without any peace. You gave a glimpse of real pure unconditioned love to millions who had no clue what love is.

You build a society where people can learn, follow how to achieve the purpose of life – pure devotional service. Your beloved disciples uphold and demonstrate Your principles and are examples of Your flawless philosophy. Through Your pastimes You teach how one should take the spiritual master’s instructions to heart and give everything to manifest it. I am grateful that You have given the greatest benediction of my entire existence my Gurudev though I have no qualification at all. I pray to You to forgive my offences that I do in ignorance and immaturity. I beg You for forgiveness if I been casual in my dealings with Your dear dedicated soldiers. Please bless me with Your eternal shelter and keep me fixed on Your lotus feet and Srila Gurudev’s lotus feet. Please bless me with determination and sincerity. It was Your desire that there should worship of RadhaKrishna in every household. Please engage me as Your tiny instrument in Your preaching mission as Gurudev’s servant. Though I may have no intelligence by Your mercy anything is possible. Your glories are unlimited and it is very difficult for me to understand Your elevated position and the depth of Your mercy. I pray to You to keep me in Your divine shelter always.

All Glories to SriSri Guru and Gauranga.
All Glories to Srila Prabhupada.

Dandavat Pranaams Srila Prabhupada,

I am forever grateful and indebted to you for showing the difference between a Brahmana and a Vaishnava. It is the mercy of the Lord that flows through the parampara and what mercy it is ! I experienced great moments in life after getting in touch with the HareKrsna movement and realized what HareKrsna kirtan can do to the soul. But for you, how would confused souls like me know how close the Lord is to all of us and hankering to take us back to Godhead.

The Bhakti centre has so many Vaishnavas and under the guidance of Hari Ksetra Prabhu is trying to fulfill the wish of one of your eternal disciples, His Holiness Jayapataka Swami Maharaj. The wish is to make Namma Bengaluru as the first spiritual city that is entirely Krsna Conscious.

It is your divine grace and mercy that has seen SriKrsna Janmasthami celebrated in 8 centres in and around Whitefield yesterday. The Vaishnava leaders here extended your unlimited mercy and let me do Archaka seva to their Lordships SriSri RadhaKrsna, Sri Jagannath, Baladeva and Subhadra and SriSri Gaura Nitai. Please give me strength and always keep me and my next generations at the lotus feet of the Vaishanvas who are always merciful and help us serve their Lordships through serving the Vaishnavas forever.

Hankering for your mercy eternally, humbly

Sitarama Prabhu
