Offerings of Love

Heartfelt offerings by devotees of ISKCON Whitefield to Srila Prabhupada on the occasion of his appearance day

Offering by Vedant Agarwal

Hare Krishna,
I read Prabhupada books daily and I am doing it since many months. Because of his books I am able to have the spiritual knowledge. Due to this spiritual knowledge my faith in Krishna is increasing and my entanglement into little material things is decreasing. If I will not read his books then I will read things which are of little or no benefit to me.

I have read his abridged biography book in which I came to know how he worked hard to parallely write books, give lectures, giving management ideas to his disciples. He is my inspiration.
Thank you.

Dearest Srila prabhupada,
Please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet!!
All glories to your divine grace.

A Septuagenerian leaving the soothing comforts of Brindavan to preach in the US surviving two heart attacks, dear Srila Prabhupad you have epitomized the very word “mercy”. It is because of your magnanimity in spreading the love of Krishna that I am in deep appreciation of the purpose of my own life.

I see a personally addressed instruction in every word of your books. Though I come from a pious family background I did not have a perfect understanding of whom to please and whom to direct my devotion to. Your instructions on why lord Krishna is supreme has made my devotion undivided. Your instructions are now my life and soul. I consider myself extremely fortunate that through your causeless mercy I have true vaishnava association. We now chant, sing and dance merrily knowing how our life is now having a true purpose. Thanks you so much dear Srila Prabhupad for everything.

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

Om ajnana-timirandhasya jnananjana-salakaya
Caksur unmilitam yena tasmai sri-gurave namah

I was born in the darkest ignorance, and my spiritual master opened my eyes with the torch of knowledge. I offer my respectful obeisances unto him.

I offer my respectful obeisances on to your lotus feet millions of times on this auspicious day of your appearance.

I don’t have any qualification to glorify you. I am so fallen and degreaded where I need more mercy from you to continue in KC.

After many many life’s where I have wasted it in sense gratification and material enjoyment now by the mercy of all the great vaisnava I came in kc and staying with vaisnavas association. But still by my past karma and samskaras I am not able to relish fully KC and chanting holy names and association of vaisnava devotees.

I wanted to preach more and more and connect many souls to Krishna’s lotus feet. This can be happen just by your mercy. I am very much interested in deity worship and feel very close to Krishna when I serve them. In future I have hope that I will serve the big deities and nicely decorated them and in this way I wanted to preach and serve guru and Krishna and leave this body at the lotus feet of Krishna.

I have committed many offences and I am doing my best to stop committing offences and focus on chanting. By the mercy of all the vaisnava devotees I became your grand son which I consider very fortunate. Kindly bless me so that I can continue in KC and stay in Iskcon till my last breath like a soled dog.

I am trying to read and understand Krishna through your books. Still I am struggling very hard just to read what to say about understanding Krishna by your books.  I have no reason to demand your mercy as I have not done anything which would please you. But I need your mercy. I am hoping on it as my only hope.

Thank you Srila Prabhupada.

Your servant

Srila Prabhupad,
On the auspicious occasion of Your 123rd Vyas Puja, I offer my humble obeisance at Your lotus feet. You are the most merciful representative of the Lord who appeared to save the suffering humanity in this point of time and save us from hellish life. I was living in oblivion, completely lost without any knowledge or awareness of myself, my purpose or anything around me. By Your mercy You picked me up just by Your glance. I remember how in 1994 I first saw the Krishna book and opened it out of curiosity.

I was taken over by the enchanting pictures of the Lord and His pastimes. I began reading the bala lilas and was completely mesmerized. I remember how I read over and over again especially the subduing of kaliya and killing of the demons. I exactly remember Your description of the Lord dancing over the hood of Kaliya serpent – the Lord’s feet are tender like lotus flowers but it weighed like a mountain on Kaliya’s hood and he vomited poison. It is the power of Your description, Your pure love for Krishna.

I am too small to understand even how to begin Your Divine Grace’s glorification. I have recently finished 95% of leelamrta and it is undoubtedly the most impactful book I have read in my entire life. I can feel how it has changed me inside out. Just by reading Your pastimes I have developed traces of faith. Its not mine. Its Yours which is so infectious! The grit with which You faced obstacles to Your mission to spread God consciousness and defeated it everytime by your personal power fueled by Your unshakeable faith and unalloyed devotion, is the most inspiring element for me in all Your pastimes. It teaches me to believe in Krishna, that He will give protection and His plans are for my ultimate welfare, no matter how bad the situation looks, apparently.

You sacrificed Your life for humanity. Your books have touched millions of souls on this planet irrespective of their past or present credentials. You have picked up every unworthy stone and are carving each one into a sculpture. and this is the greatest thing that humanity can witness and will remember forever in the history of mankind. I feel very very lucky to be a part of all the big change you are ushering on this planet and to be a part of Your family is the greatest benediction and fortune of all of my existence. Srila Prabhupad though I am unworthy, You blessed with the benediction of being a disciple of HH Gopal Krishna Goswami Guru Maharaj. please bless me with the fortune of also being His instrument in Your preaching mission, to be worthy to serve Him and hence You.

By the association of devotees, I am encouraged to take baby steps in Your movement to work for You and please You, through tiny services, which is so insignificant in this grand scheme of things! yet its an important step for my journey, because there’s so much to do for You. please help me to take strides forward to increase my surrender and commitment to You and work hard for spreading Your glories, teachings and mission. This is what I really want for myself. Please keep me determined, to be stuck to this purpose and use everything in and around me for this purpose.

Srila Prabhupad, please forgive my offences to You and Your family members that I might have done knowingly and unknowingly. I beg Your pardon for all my mistakes and please help me to improve and hold Your hand, firmly and walk forward on the path of Krishna Bhakti, to learn – to serve and love.

Your little helpless grandchild aspiring to be a part of your mission,

Hare Krishna!!!
All glories to srila Prabhupada!!!

Srila Prabhupada is saver of this world. Without his mercy there was no hope for us.

Due to your presence as scripture we always get your guidance from you.

Specially book distribution and rendering service which crush our ego and Increase our devotional capacity. When we goes for book distribution or for some services we receive many different experience that time I always feel your blessings.

Although I am not eligible to ask you anything but please forgive my offence and continue your marcy upon me that I can do little progress in my devotional life.

Offering by Sidhartha Subudhi

Dear Prabhupada,

please accept my Dandavat Pranama.

Let me tell one incident and my realization:

In my college days when I was studying in Puri, got chance to see the world famous Rath yatra of Lord Jagnnath, Baladev and Subhadra live physically, though I had seen this in television earlier. This was a different experience for me which I am unable to put in words here. Yet more exciting was to see a group of white people dancing and doing Kirtan in front of the 3 raths, in the middle of the big crowd and few more people cordoning them.

Out of anxiety and curiosity I asked one of my friends who are they, where are they from and being foreigners how do they know about Lord Jagannath. My friend said they are ISKCON people, the term I heard for the first time also my friend didn’t know more than this. Till then it was my general perception that Westerners are atheists and their culture is quite different than that of Indian culture.

After residing few years in Bangalore, I happened to visit ISKCON and attended Bhakti Vriksha. And then I came to know the answer to my question – “how the Westerners are devotee of Lord Jagnnath?”, that was dormant in my heart.

I got answer to my question: PRABHUPADA, you were the reason behind Westerner’s knowledge about Lord Jagannath.

You are the founder and architect of ISKCON, which you established with a lot of pain, effort and vision. And more importantly you followed your Guru’s instructions by soul and heart to achieve this.

I had little understanding of GOD and Bhakti in a very orthodox and traditional manner. You gave true logical and analytical understanding of Bhakti and Vaishnavism to the world and true meaning of GOD. You showed true purpose of life, the actual art of living. You showed a path by which one can lead simple yet happy life above stress and anxiety just by surrendering to Krishna and following Guru’s instructions. You gave so much simple empathetic explanation of Shastras and how to follow them.

You explained the purpose of temples is to give real education to human being is very important.

You have given very good and impressive meaning of religion and philosophy as below:

Religion without philosophy is sentiment, or sometimes fanaticism, while philosophy without religion is mental speculation.

Though we are living in Kali Yuga, you showed how the entire world can live happily and peacefully just by depending on KRISHNA and associating with devotees – a practical implementation of “Vasundhara Kutumbakam”.

Your greatest contributions to the world are:
– Your books/Letters
– Lectures
– Instructions

Though I am very small to appreciate you in any manner I just noted few of my realizations to purify myself and help myself in advancing in Krishna Consciousness.

You are very compassionate in distributing your mercy to even the most fallen souls like me. I am very obliged and grateful to you for everything.

All glories to you Srila Prabhupada.

Dear Srila Prabhupad,

Please accept my most humble Obeisance!
All Glories to You!
All Glories to Guru and Gauranga!

Kindly accept my humble obeisances at your Divine lotus feet on this most auspicious event of your 123th Vyasa Puja.

Srila Prabhupad, before coming to Krishna consciousness , I was very much impressed with the struggle of bollywood actor Amitabh Bachhan and he was my ideal. How he continuous gave 16 flop movies and then become legend of bollywood.

But when I saw your autobiography then I realized in front of your efforts to carry out the order of your spiritual master and starting the world wide movement single handedly, Amitabh Bachhan’s struggle was nothing and after that you became my ideal.

I started watching all your vedios on youtube and then I finished Abhay Charan series and remembering Prabhupad series and I fall in love with you Srila Prabhupad. Even today also whenever any devotee start telling your pastimes it’s so pleasing to ears.Whenever I feel low in devotional life , I start hearing your hindi lectures and these lectures give me lot of boost and sometime great laughter also when you argue with reporters.

From the age of 14 around I was looking for one question’s answer, what happens after death but now by your Divine Grace ‘s mercy and Guru and Krishna’s mercy all doubt are clear and we got clear goal in our life and this give us great relief. Slowly and slowly my family members also becoming devotees now. We will be very grateful to your Divine Grace life after life and on this auspicious occasion of Vyasa Puja we pray to Lord Krishna that your glories should spread like anything in the coming days and more fallen souls like me get the chance to hear them and can get relief from this material existence.

Your humble and insignificant servant,
Aacharyanidhi Das,

Please accept my Humble obeisance Srila Prabhupada!!!

All Glories All Glories All Glories to you Prabhupada!!!

By your mercy Prabhupada we got connected to Krishna conscious movement in 2016.

From my childhood I always use to think what’s the purpose of life should be, is it only just studying, growing, get a good job earn money, get married, have children and that solve.

But I never got these answers and later these questions itself got lost within myself because of this attraction towards illusionary world, but after 2016 Janmashtami, by your mercy I could start getting answers to these questions slowly.

You have given your mercy in form of ABCD and I think because of that Krishna consciousness has entered my conditioned life and has brought lot of good changes.

Now I am struggling with my anarthas, I want to imbibe these behaviour ‘trnad api sunicena taror api sahisuna amanina nmanadena kirtaniyah sada harih’ in myself.

I know Srila Prabhupad I am so fallen, still I beg for your mercy please give me some of these qualities.

Please bless me Prabhupada, so that I can serve all the Vaisnavas with right mood and become a small soldier in your mission, this is possible only by your mercy Prabhupada.

Thank you very much Prabhupad for giving us such a wonderful association of Vaisnavas in ISKCON.

Jai Srila Prabhupad !!!

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada !!!

Dear Srila Prabhupada,

I have interacted with many people during book distribution, glorifying you after reading the books. These interactions with people helped me to realize your endless effort to make this world Krishna Conscious through your books. This is your selfless contribution for all and people will always be loving and will be grateful to you for your service to them/all.

You are an Ocean of Mercy who traveled to west to preach krsna consciousness, who wrote the books to bring people closer to Krsna. You were always compassionate to all the people to take them from material world to Back to God-head

I remember when I got introduced in Krishna Consciousness by a group of devotees and brought to BACE where I saw some of your instructions to preach in colleges. If you would not have given the instructions to preach the students, fallen soul like me would never get chance to relish devotional service. This is you,who were always be merciful to all and because of you people in this material world got a chance to understand krsna.

This is your eternal insignificant servant will always be grateful to you !!!

Offering by Vijaya Nrsimha Das

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

namah om vishu padaya Krsna prestaya bhutale Srimate Bhaktivedanta swamin iti namine namaste sarawati deve Gaura vani pracharine nirvishesha shunyavaadi paschatya desha taarine

Srila Prabhupada, every year as I write the Vyas Puja offering I cannot but just keep thanking you again and again for the mercy you shower on us. It is only that which keeps me going.

During a discussion one of your disciples HG Yogeswara prabhu asked a question, “Prabhupada, suppose there are two people equally qualified for devotional service, but one becomes a devotee and other does not. What makes the difference?”, you replied “don’t try to find some formula for causeless mercy it’s causeless ultimately it’s up to the mercy giver.”

Srila Prabhupada, you simply exhibit the qualities of a Jagadguru, just like how Sri ramanujacharya announced from the top of the temple, the secret Mantra that was given by his Guru to go back to Godhead.

You never asked anyone to fill up any questionnaire for go through some kind of test to be a part of the movement or to initiate. About the young westerners who would come for your shelter, you firmly believed that they have been mercifully sent by your Guru maharaja to assist in your service to Guru and Krsna. Being a Jagadguru this was your humility. You were simply a mercy giver like Prahlad Maharaj.

If I look back at my life, everything was so complicated. Even basic maturity was lacking in me, practicing devotional life was a far cry. I did not know how to think, how to act, how to behave, how to respond to others, how to respond to relations, how to respond to situations, I was such a dumb person. I did not know how to think about myself about this life. There was never a time I felt even negligible amount of confidence in what I was doing. And then there is a part of life where I’ve been associated with your moment and I can clearly see my life before and after. The more I practice your instructions the more there is clarity in my thoughts like never before. The point being, was I ever qualified for it? No never, neither am i now!

Srila Prabhupada, due to my faith in Guru and Krsna, which is work in progress, I do not know if I will go back to godhead in this lifetime but one thing is absolutely clear that I am on the right track.

Your disciple HG Pushkar Prabhu who was an artist, who painted several murals in many temples in ISKCON. While prabhu was painting a door on the second floor in Mayapur with the scene of Krishna Balram jumping off a big mountain, you happen to walk by and you asked how long has this taken him. Prabhu, being humble and feeling overly conscious, replied “it taken a week and I am very slow”. To that you replied “slowly but surely” and kept walking very cool and relaxed. Another instance, you looked at his paintings and remarked “you are expert you should simply paint the disciplic succession and you will go back to godhead”. You made it look so simple, the process of going back to Godhead. I clearly see that you were pleased by his sincerity in service, dedication and faith which I lack. I beg of you, kindly bless upon me that i lose my duplicity and become an obedient servant to the Vaishnavas without which it would take me many many lifetimes even to desire of Going back to Godhead. However it is only your causeless mercy that i’m totally relying upon.

Offering by Vikram Caitanya Das

Dear Srila Prabhupada,
Please accept my most humble obeisances unto your lotus feet on this auspicious occasion of your Vyasa Puja!!

I cant thank you enough for what you have given to me and all of us in this age – Hari naam – The Hare Krishna Mahamantra. You have made us understand its meaning that it is the Yuga Dharma – Harer Namaiva Kevalam. The Holy name is the only savior in the age of Kali.

You have also given us the devotee association, which is like one big family taking care of us anywhere we go in the world. All are serving each other selflessly to help grow together in our self-realization. Had it not been for you, we would have continued to be lost in the useless journey of sense gratification without any aim in life. Life as I knew then was meant to enjoy as we didn’t know when it will end and it was the only one chance we got. I used to know little bit of religious practices, through family, friends but mostly as rituals that had to be done and not its meaning. Had questions which were mostly unanswered and were left to own interpretations. Religious activities these days are becoming opinions of individuals as they choose and also adjusting the dates to make for weekend holidays which gives us opportunities for enjoyment.

When I look back now I realize what ignorance I was in. Today, I still am in ignorance, but by your mercy, now I know the purpose of life and I am trying to make an attempt to walk towards the ultimate goal of attaining Krishna.

We are forever indebted to you for the knowledge you have given us. You had put so much efforts in giving us this knowledge, you used to sleep only for couple of hours in your old age to write the books. You had even fainted while distributing Back to Godhead magazine. If we exert a little bit we need a good rest. Can’t even imagine what you did at the age you did in.

Because of your efforts we all have some hope to make our life a success. The Vedic knowledge is spreading all over the world through your books and your Vani. People in general are coming to know of self, God and our relationship. We heard from people during Janmashtami festival, that they were looking for God and a place to celebrate Janmashtami and were very happy to be celebrating with ISKCON. All because of your causeless mercy!!

Prabhupada, I pray at your lotus feet to please bless me that I can read your books regularly so that I can make an attempt to move closer to Krishna. Please bless our humble center,IBC,that we all stay united in our service to spread Krishna Consciousness around for your pleasure!

Your servant,

Hare Krishna Srila Prabupada, 

All glories to you Srila Prabhupada 

Please accept my humble obeisances unto your lotus feet
“nama om vishnu-padaya krishna-preshthaya bhu-tale
srimate bhaktivedanta-svamin iti namine
namas te saraswate deve gaura-vani-pracarine
nirvishesha-shunyavadi-pashchatya-desha-tarine”

I am really an insignificant creature to thank you and glorify you Srila Prabhupada. 

It’s first time in my life when I am trying to write somthing to you Prabhupada, kindly forgive me for any mistake due to my negligence. First of all, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to you Srila Prabhupada for everything you did and continuously doing with your books for delivering so many souls of this material world. Because of you Srila Prabhupada I got opportunity to understand real meaning of life and my relationship with Supreme Lord Krishna.

Many people criticize that ISKCON is an US organization and not Indian organization, but we know the reality how because of all your effort at the age of 70, carrying mission of your spiritual master in the heart, travelled 7 oceans with hardly no money, no man power, ISKCON got established from scratch. Thank you Srila Prabhupada for creating such a nice platform with complete process of devotion for all of us so that we can think and act for Krishna always.

I keep trying to read your books and listen to your lectures Prabhupada but due to my laziness and negligence I am really struggling hard. Kindly help me to overcome my laziness and be merciful on me so that I can first become Krishna Conscious servant and then become a nimat matra in spreading the mission of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu under your guidance.

Your aspiring servant,

Offering by Roshni Kundu

Dear Srila Prabhupada,

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to you!

On the auspicious day of your 123 rd Vyasa Puja, I shall attempt to glorify and thank you with some shallow words. I have absolutely no qualification or competence, all that I have and always long for is your mercy. You are magnanimous and have very mercifully presented the gift of Hari Nama to insignificant and useless souls like me, and yet, I have no taste for It.

As Caitanya Mahaprabhu distributed nectar and as you took this nectar far and wide, I have shamelessly chosen poison instead. Please forgive me for my shameless and materialistic actions. I was knocking on the doors of hell, and you rescued me from myself, my wrong doings and gave me the greatest
treasure. I am eternally indebted to you.

Srila Prabhupada, you are an embodiment of the very first principle, ‘I am not this body but a spirit soul.’ At the advanced age of 69, you went to the West to preach. There was no need to do this, but to fulfil the instructions of your spiritual master, Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura, and out of compassion for the suffering living entities, you took up the Herculean task of going to a foreign land to preach. Although you went through extreme physical difficulties, your enthusiasm to preach was undeterred. You went through so much, just out of compassion for the fallen living entities. You had expressed compassion even towards lower animals like slugs. This shows how you practised what you preached- you’re not this body but a spirit soul.

Your firm faith and urge to fulfil the instructions of your spiritual master, Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura, depicts true guru nistha. A good guru is a good disciple and who would set a better example than you? 

Your strong conviction that Krishna takes care of His devotees is unmatched. I pray to you that someday I could also develop at least 1% of your faith and conviction. 

Srila Prabhupada, you not only taught us how to live perfectly but also how to die perfectly. You taught the world every aspect of life based on the scriptures, in your lectures and books. You gave us the perfect knowledge.

I beg at your lotus feet to bless me so that I could imbibe some of your qualities. The world has been blessed by your mercy. Please forgive me for my offences and bless me so that I do not commit offences further. Please spread your mercy on me so that I can follow your teachings. I have no intelligence of my own. Everything that I have is all by your mercy.

Your most useless and insignificant servant,

Offering by Bhargavi Subramanya

Dear Srila Prabhupada,
Please accept my humble obesciences.
All Glories to Your Divine Grace.

I have heard that there are souls that are seeking for meaning in life, on a quest for something; and others that have come to Krishna consciousness by sheer mercy. I belong to the latter category.

By Your Divine mercy, I came in contact with Bhagavad-Gita As It Is. Your presence can be felt in your books. You are so kindly giving your precious association to innumerable souls, including my fallen self. I beg Your mercy to able to take that association, and grow, so that one day I can render some service to You, Your mission.

You have given direction to this undeserving, puffed up soul, and continue to do so, by Your books, pure disciples and followers of yours, and the oasis in the desert of the material world in the form of temples.

Thank you Srila Prabhupada.

Seeking your blessings to be able to absorb Your Divine instructions and engage in spreading this movement,

Your eternal servant,
Bhargavi.

What determination, Rock solid you had !
Your Gurus instructions, you took to your heart !!

Age didn’t sway you, in difficulties you didn’t deter !
You kept going, for us fools utter !!

Entrapped by modes, I see no hope !
In the Maya’s scope, a slippery slope !!

Countless desires, infinite lust !
Quarrels many, Your books are trust !!

A pretender I am, without any devotion !
I trust my mind, irrational notions !!

I pray at your feet, a solemn one !
Save me O Prabhupad, dip me in Your mercy ocean !!

Hare Krishna Srila Prabhupad dandavat pranam,

I have been carrying the burden of life, until I met one of the follower of ISKCON. The whole life changed after that, the jewels in the form of scriptures with proper understanding becomes part of my life.

Instead of pulling the burden of life, now it is replaced with pulling the cart of Lord Jagannath. Due to your mercy things are on right direction, still the struggle is on to perfect the life. Progress is slow but a sense of satisfaction is there that someday the goal of life will be achieved.

My life is indept to you for spreading the knowledge of scriptures and reaching to the creatures like me who are happily distressed in this world and searching for contentment everywhere.

My heartfelt gratitude to you and to all the disciples of yours who are giving the light of knowledge and changing the life of fallen soul like me.

Offering by Deepak Prashanth

Dear Srila Prabhupada
Please accept my respectful obeisance.

Srila Prabhupada in one of his quotes about chanting says that
“The chanting is a spiritual call for the Lord and His energy, to give protection to the conditioned soul and
One’s chanting should be exactly like the genuine cry of a child for its Mother’s presence”

I can never forget these lines of quote and one of my goals is always to maintain this mood of a child looking for his Mother, while chanting the
holy name:
Hare Krishna Hare Krishna
Krishna Krishna Hare Hare
Hare Rama Hare Rama
Rama Rama Hare Hare

On your auspicious Vyasapuja I pray and seek your blessings to get into this mood while I chant every day!

Prabhupada you are the most merciful person in the world. Without you …..ISKCON, Bhagavad Gita, Srimad Bhagavatam, service to Lord Krisna, service to the devotees would not be possible.

You made the whole world to know how to serve the Lord. Due to this we learn many good qualities and overcome our anarthas. Without you i would have been living like an animal. Its because of you we understood real purpose of human life. Thank you showing mercy on me by selecting me for Krishna Consciousness in-spite of so many souls in the material world. But i am so stupid that i couldn’t serve you and your mission to 100 percent. I am so fallen and degraded to understand Lord Krishna and his devotees that in-spite of you giving all that we want to do Krishna Consciousness easily , for which you struggled hardly. Srila Prabhupada, you have given us so valuable thing which cannot be equaled by anything in the material world. Prabhupada please shower mercy upon me so that i could serve you and your mission to my capacity at any point in my life.
