Offerings of Love

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

Offering by Ganesha Acharya

Please accept my prostrated obeisances at your divine lotus feet. All glories to Your Divine Grace and to your unparalleled service and mercy.
You gave us matchless gift, for which I was wondering from many many kalpas.
I don’t have any qualification, I am not good at shravanam,kirtan, …any Anga of bhakti.

Prabhupada please bestow your mercy so that I can follow your devotees and do atleast a drop of Krishna consciousness service.

Like vibhishana surrendered to Shir Raam, then his 4 followers also received the shelter of Raam, just because they are with Vibhishana.

Please Prabhupad please always keep me in your devotees association.

Hare Krishna 🙏🙏
Jai Srila Prabhupada 🙏🙏

Yours insignificant,unworthy, not trustworthy servant
ganesha acharya.

Dear Śrīla Prabhupāda,

On this special day of your appearance, I offer my humble obeisances at your lotus feet. My heart is full of gratitude for the immense impact you have had on my life and the lives of so many others. Your presence in this world is a divine blessing, bringing the light of Kṛṣṇa consciousness to a world often lost in materialism.

Your journey to spread Kṛṣṇa consciousness was truly remarkable. You traveled across the world, facing many challenges, all with the sole purpose of sharing the gift of Kṛṣṇa’s love. Your unwavering faith in Kṛṣṇa and the mission of your spiritual master carried you through every obstacle. Because of your tireless efforts, people like me have the chance to understand the true purpose of life and find happiness in serving Kṛṣṇa and his devotees.

Your teachings have changed my life. Before I discovered your books, I was searching for meaning and purpose. Your books and words have provided me with the clarity I needed, helping me to understand the goal of life.
Your words opened my eyes to the eternal truths of the soul and our deep connection with Kṛṣṇa. The moment I realized that the goal of life is to attain Kṛṣṇa, everything changed for me. It gave me a new sense of direction and purpose.

As I try to follow this path, I face many challenges whether it’s the demands of work, the distractions of daily life, or the temptations of the material world. But in those moments of struggle, I find strength in your example. Your life, full of tireless devotion and commitment to Guru and Kṛṣṇa, inspires me to keep going, to overcome my limitations, and to dedicate myself fully to serving Kṛṣṇa.

I am also deeply grateful for the guidance of my mentor- HG Vaibhava Kṛṣṇa Pr and Counseller- HG Kartikeya Prabhuji. Their wisdom, patience, and support have been invaluable in helping me grow spiritually. They reflect your teachings in their lives, and through their example, I have learned what it means to live a life centered on Kṛṣṇa. Their support has been crucial in my journey, helping me stay on the right path and reminding me of the importance of humility and service.

On this day, Śrīla Prabhupāda, I renew my commitment to your mission. I pray for your blessings to serve with sincerity, to help spread Kṛṣṇa consciousness to others, and to always remember the incredible gift you have given us. I know I have many flaws, but with your mercy, I hope to overcome them and offer my life in service to Kṛṣṇa and His devotees.

Thank you, Śrīla Prabhupāda, for being a constant source of inspiration and guidance through your books and lectures.

Your aspiring servant,
Pankaj

O Srila Prabhupada, How Can We Not be Thankful to You? ❤️
Whatever I’m is just only because of You 🙏🏻Without You I would Literally be Nothing. You are my Parent because I grew up knowing about your Glories and I’ve always felt a Connection that I Love You more than KRSNA ❤️

I know that I don’t have any Good Qualities or any Humbleness inside me, I am so Fully Contaminated by the 3 modes of Material Nature mostly Rajasic (Passion) and Specially Tamasic(Ignorance) and I cannot attain Krsna maybe in any lifetime because of my Imperfections and Anarthas which I’ve attained in Previous Uncountable Lifetimes. But I’ve a Very Strong Faith that, ONLY YOU can give Krsna to Me and to Anyone in this Creation❤️

The Word ‘Thank You’ would never be a Proper word to dedicate to You, I can never thank you enough Prabhupada because you’ve given us Everything.
O Prabhupada, I pray unto the Dust of your Lotus Feet that With your Instructions and Principles to my Last breath, I can maintain all that you have mentioned in the Scriptures with all Seriousness and Urgency, May I take your Shelter in every Lifetime and Be Extremely Serious in Devotional Servive and take your Instructions in an Urgency.❤️

As an Insignificant Beggar, I beg for your Merciful and Causeless and Unconditional Glance and Blessings and requesting you to Allow me to Please You and Krsna. ❤️
You’ve given us Ganga, Allow me to just wash my hands in your Ganga like the Preaching Mission and let me be the most Insignificant part of it and your Prestigious Institution named ISKCON.
May I forever Serve You and Guru and Gauranga, ultimately Krsna with all my Heart, Mind, Body and Soul. 🙏🏻

Your Statements are Brahma Vakya and I have always become full of Tears and I still am in Tears whenever I meditate on your Last Statement that You Made,

“YOUR LOVE FOR ME, WILL BE SHOWN BY HOW MUCH YOU COOPERATE TO KEEP THE INSTITUTION TOGETHER AFTER I AM GONE!” with all Urgency!

All Glories To You Srila Prabhupada 🙌🏻
Will Always Be Forever Grateful and Indebted towards You❤️

Your Most Worthless and Insignificant Servant,
Rãñgãrãja Nãñdãsutã Dasa🙇🏻

Dear Srila Prabhupada, my spiritual Grandfather

Please accept my humble and respectful obeisances

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 Krishna Consciousness.

Srila Prabhupada without you it’s very difficult to imagine what will be the condition of me in this material world. You at the age of 80’s went to spread this movement and brought many souls to Krishna. This is your compassion and mercy on all of us. I’m very great full and indebted to you eternally.

Prabhupada we had nice grand janmashtami festival and we are going to start new courses for the intrested people, I’m not actively preaching but I’m trying my best to support in preaching. We all need your blessings, so that this endeavour brings many souls near to Krishna. Please bless us and new members who has registered for this course, so that they continue Krishna consciousness life.

Prabhupada I’m struggling with my anarthas and past samskaras, it’s very difficult for me to get rid of them. But I only hope is your mercy. Please I beg you to shower your causeless mercy on me so that I continue in Krishna consciousness and practice sincerely.

Yours fallen grandson

Srila Prabhupad Please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet. Nama om vishnu padaya ….

Srila Prabhupad I would like to take this opportunity to contemplate & express my gratitude for everything that you have done for me & the entire world.

Sometimes I have heard some outsiders saying whatever you have done was not so great, any person can do it but Prabhupad, as an active preacher in ISKCON I can say this with full conviction that whatever you did, no one in this entire world can do it. You have penetrated the hearts of people and made their hearts favourable ground to receive Lord Sri Krishna.Even today you continue to penetrate the hearts of people personally through your transcendental books. Recently in Delhi I met one senior Brahmacārī- HG Gopi Bhav Pr. I asked him how did he come to Krishna consciousness? He said said “I was going to my home town & on the way one devotee came & gave Bhagavad-Gita to me. Just by reading Bhagavad-Gita in one month I decided that I want to dedicate my life completely in the service of the Lord. I was amazed to hear this wonderful case study & my conviction faith in your books.

Prabhupad there are books by other devotees & many preachers now in ISKCON but the miracles that your books & lectures are doing is really commendable. One senior disciple of yours who is preaching in west was sharing that “SP single handedly transformed so many foreigners into devotees. Now we have everything, so many preachers but we are not able to preach to many foreigners and make them devotees.” This is your glory SP.

Your selfless mood of pleasing Guru & Krishna is always very inspiring. Whatever you did is just to please Guru & Krishna.

You are personification of Trnadapi verse. Humbler than the blade of grass & tolerant than a tree-There are so many documented pastimes where You remained humble & tolerant in most provoking & insulting situations. Once when you were speaking about 4 classes of men in the society in an university, one arrogant boy stood & asked you if you were 1st class…with tears in the eyes you said I am 5th class.

You always respected each & everyone without any expectation of respect for your own self. Once in South Africa your clothes which were kept for drying were missing & during the SB class you saw that some of your disciples were wearing your clothes, with all respect & humility you just said that “its not good for a disciple to wear Guru’s clothes.”

You continuously chant the holy names irrespective of any disturbing situation. In one of the fire sacrifices which you personally were conducting, many devotees did a lot of blunder & you were very heavy on them & very angry for their immature acts. But after the Yajna when devotees who were very fearful approached you to beg forgiveness, you were found peaceful chanting HKM with lot of bliss.

All glories to your divine grace!!!

On this auspicious occasion here I present our preaching report for your pleasure. Last year we started a new youth centre in Marathahalli, new satang programs in one community. As a team we have installed more than 55 altars in different devotees homes as per standards set by you. This year we have shifted Sarjapur centre to a new place which is well designed for our preaching programs. Also we have revived our college preaching programs. Two new youth Baces in AECS Layout & Two new Janmashtami venues-Attibele & Bellandur have got added to the previous years list.

I have been asked to assist in taking care of 4 centres- Panathur, Sarjapur, Kagadaspura, Attibele & 2 youth centres- AECS & Marathahalli. This year one more service has got added on national level preaching- I have been asked to take the role of chairman of social media team of the national youth body- IIYC.

For your pleasure this year we are starting new youth centre at Panathur, 8 Gita courses in different location, Vaishnavi forum in Kaggadasapura. Soon inaugurating a new BACE at Marathahalli. Next year by your blessings & empowerment, our team would like to start 2 youth centres in our existing preaching areas & also kick start preaching in one new area.

SP sometimes all these services become overwhelming but we would like to continue & manage as much as possible for your pleasure.

Prabhupad time is passing is very quickly, I’m very fearful of this passing time. Goal of Krishna prema is very high & our qualification is very low. Without your mercy this dwarf cannot jump & catch the mood of Krsna prema.

If you are pleased with any of our insignificant services, please bless us with deep attachment, attraction & taste for chanting Hare Krishna Mahamantra offenselessly with love & devotion & to serve Sri Sri Radha & Krishna & your Divine grace in Vrindavan consciousness every moment. Not even for a moment we want to indulge in any form of sense gratification even in our thoughts & dreams.

I am aspiring to become your loyal dog in this mission & keep serving you till my last breath & latter.

Your Grandson,

Kartikeya Das

Dear Srila Prabhupada
Please accept my respectful obeisance
All glory to you

Srila Prabhupada, your contributions to my life and the lives of millions are boundless. I am ever grateful to you for saving me from the pool of material existence. The only saving grace for a living entity who is struggling in the material world is the lotus feet of Krishna. Accessing the supreme Lord is through His bonafide representative, a pure devotee. I am very fortunate to have the association of you and your pure followers. My greatest treasure is the faith that I have in you and your pure followers as competent authorities who can deliver me from this material existence and place me as an insignificant servant of Sri Sri Radha and Krishna.

I pity those who lack faith in you. Sometimes even among devotees, many poisonous ideas float around weakening their faith in you and your teachings. In the name of esoteric realizations and confidential pastimes devotees get cheated from being engaged in the most confidential service of the most confidential associate of Lord Caitanya, a missionary perfectly crafted by your divine grace.

Srila Prabhupada, in your teachings you keep clarifying the purpose of our existence and goal of life as to attain the eternal service of the Divine Couple. You have already engaged us in such pure service through the missionary activities you have kindly given us, starting with book distribution, preaching, etc. You have given us the pure purpose, pure activities, pure understanding of scriptures, and pure faith, which are needed to attain ultimate perfection. Only a fool will neglect this and run behind illusory ideas and philosophies.

Srila Prabhupada, kindly keep me under your shelter and do not reject me, for I do not have any other shelter. I again express my deepest gratitude for engaging me in bonafide and pure devotional service, very mercifully given by your pure followers. My perfection is to be engaged in such service till my last breath, which will ensure the attainment of the ultimate perfection of my life.

Thank you Srila Prabhupada for all that you have given me. I am praying for your mercy.

Your servant
Hariksetra das
