Your eternal servant.
Neelambari Radha Dasi

I don’t know since how many millions of years I am wandering in this ocean of dukhalayam asasvatam. What could be hope for the one who had considered the sense enjoyment is ultimate joy in life.

Please shower your mercy on me so that one day the mountains of lust and envy burn into ashes and this fallen soul can hanker for lotus feet of Lord Krishna for a moment.

Your servant,
Rahul Rajdhar Mahajan

I am grateful to Srila Prabhupada for helping me think beyond the material world. It has been about an year now I have started being part of the Sankirtan & Bhagavad Gita classes – Now I understand the selfless love for Krishna which Srila Prabhupada had. For me, never a day passes without talking about Krishna. Everything I think these days are directed towards how I can please and serve Krishna. From bottom of my heart I am very thankful to Srila Prabhupada for inspiring me to be part of Krishna Consciousness and putting me into a path of Spirtual Transformation.

Hari Bol !

Viraj Hegde

Just by reading Srila prabaupads books and associating with his disciples purity gets injected in the minds and intelligence.

Today we have greatest issues like factory farming hazards and innocent animals killed, in a simple and an intelligent way Srila prabupada’s movement has contributed to it immensely.

Srila Prabupada was highly compassionate towards everyone.

This servant came across from some people, they simply stopped eating meat after reading the impact of meat eating through the pictures of Bhagavat Gita – Though they are not part of ISKCON – they are also influenced by his teachings – just by minute reading.

Just by seeing Srila Prabupadas picture, many smile with background music in their minds Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare. Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama hare Hare.

There are many many souls who could have been directionless and wasted their life without spending in a Divine way, if there was no Srila Prabupada Movement.

When the world Love Lord Jagannath and can know about Krishna. Its because of Srila Prabupada.

Srila Prabupada gave Krishna’s love to the world with out discrimination.

Srila prabupada created a nicest environment for all of us in this Kali Yuga.

Srila Prabupada once when someone was chasing away a Dog, he said dont be harsh to it just give little prasad and pray for it.

Srila prabupad made women know about Chastity and live by it – Where on the other side there are lot of toughest path for women, he stopped them getting into such troubles by teaching the importance of Chastity. In today’s world if Chasity is followed among many women, Srila Prabupada’s contribution to it is immense.

Depression, Anger and Hopelessness are replaced with highest level of content feeling, strength and hopefulness.

Mistakes are done mainly because of lack of knowledge. Srila Prabupada gave that divine knowledge and stopped many of us doing great sins.

There are more and more reasons why this servant is grateful to Srila Prabupada. requesting for forgiveness for any offence committed while writing this offering.

Jai Jai Srila Prabupada.

The way parents give birth to a child in this material world, nurture him, make him learn to crawl, walk and run, similarly, being my spiritual father, you are the sole reason of my birth in this spiritual world of Krishna Consciousness. By your causeless mercy, you have given birth to me in the movement, due to which I am at crawling stage (because I am in the safe hands of devotees).

You are the sole reason, because of which I joined this movement.

You are the sole reason, because of which I have been getting consistent opportunities to hear Krishna Katha.

You are the sole reason, because of which I am always surrounded by such sincere devotees.

You are the sole reason, because of which I get to hear necterious Bhagvatam from such exalted devotees from across the world (within Krishna consciousness movement).

You are the sole reason, because of which I get plenty of opportunities to serve Vaishnavas in some or the other way, but it’s me who become careless while serving them.

You are the sole reason, because of which in all my sorrow and rejoice, I find such loving devotees around and with me.

Prabhupada ji, I beg at your lotus feet that please… please… please don’t leave me untouched ever with your blessings, how so ever careless and mean I become in future as well. I desperately need you.

All my obesiences, respect and love to you, Prabhupad ji. ?
Hare Krishna !!!

Rishabh Mishra

I realized in the age of kali we involve so many sinfull activity and chanting hare krishna mantra can eradicated all the sin.

I like Prabhupada because of his surrender to his guru and executing his guru’s instruction with determination even after facing so much up and down moment in india as well as abroad . While he was in abroad the people and and environment was not much comfortable to preach krishna consciousness but still with patience and determination he executed all plane and convinced the people that krishna consciousness is the purpose of human life for getting perfection.

As I indebded to prabhupada for his spiritual knowledge given to us I like to follow his instruction and preach to more people as per my capacity to follow krishna consciousness.

Regards,

Sangram

* You are so unexplainable great personality even if I madly try to use all letters in all languages in all combinations that cannot match even a drop of your ocean of auspicious qualities

* Your smile can shy away millions of sun put together which drive away the darkness of ignorance of all conditioned souls, hoping for a day to get a glimpse

* Somebody wants to know the definition of Acharya, then I would like to say “Srila Prabhupada”, there is nothing I can say more

* You have given your everything as a service unto your Spiritual master beyond ones wildest imagination possible but you keep saying the only qualification you had is the desire to hear your spiritual master and serve him, please bestow upon this arrogant fool your causeless mercy so that I can one day try to develop even a drop of drop of drop of that Humility

* Prabhupada, at your lotus feet your dear most disciple HH Jayapataka swami maharaj serving beyond your satisfaction, I don’t even have courage to ask you because of my repeated mistakes but yet since you are exalted and highly compassionate, I beg unto your dust of lotus feet to somehow make me an instrument in serving my Guru Maharaj who is serving you tirelessly by keeping his instructions as my life and soul

* Please forgive me for all the offenses I am committing and I repeatedly beg unto you for your causeless mercy unto this undeserving fool to somehow develop immunity against committing future offenses

* Once I heard from my Guru maharaj lectures, all ISKCON devotees are able to perform any sort of devotional service is only because of your Kripa Sidhi, how foolish and degraded I am beyond any comprehension but yet you were so merciful upon me. Please Prabhupada, I beg unto you again and again please, please, please somehow make me attracted to your literary contribution to have any hope in my bhakti, what else hope I have?

* I am trying to follow your instruction of doubling the service every year and by your causeless mercy somehow I am finding fair amount of success whenever I try to execute for your pleasure, so please continue care for this fool even though undeserving

* Dearest grandpa, Please always keep me under your shelter and save me from any influence of maya so that I can try serving your movement for your pleasure

Today my efficient survival is only because of you.If not for your books,temples,devotees,teachings,practical guidance facing so many hardships,I wouldn’t be living a worthy life like this.I would have wasted my time n energy like others as well.Hence want to do something for the society.I want to serve you in your mission.But I am handicapped without intelligence or without you & your achrya’s blessings. Before I give anything to the society, I should practice & preach myself well.Otherwise whatever measures I am taking in this regard,how will it be successful??.But Srila Prabhupad,I am suffering due to many inabilities due to falling in 3 modes of material nature & unable to practice your preaching well,I want to get rid of these inabilitues.I want to become good n serve you & your mission.I want to get initiated by your disciple, serve him throughout my life.Please give me strength for all of the above.I am fiiled with shame & going speechless to think of my sincerity.Unable to stand in front of you.Kindly use me as an instrument as well.Hare Krishna.Dandavats.??

Srila Prabhupad,I just want to share a realization with you .ISKCON Whitefield had decided to celebrate Krishna janmashtami in one more area this year which is Bellandur.Though we were few volunteers working for it, at every step we were stuck n felt stumbling blocks in almost all the different fields.Everywhere we were loosing hopes & felt pressure of how to proceed further.Again by your mercy & by Krishna’s will the disturbances were getting cleared on its own.But what I realized at that time was though quite a few volunteers were working we could not spread the message in one area but you went alone to US struggled n initiated this organization of ISKCON at the age of 70.You are way beyond our imagination.Of course I know there is no comparison between you &us but still felt like mentioning this pass time of yours as a glorification.Thanks for all that you a have given us & have been giving us till now.Sticking to your lotus feet to not to deprive of your any little mercy also poured from you upon me . Kindly put your glance on this orphan.Hare Krishna.

It was then, I got introduced to Krishna Consciousness through the Gita classes. As I took baby steps in my Krishna Consciousness journey, my hopelessness was replaced by hopefulness and I am beginning to understand the purpose of human life.

It is only because of your causeless mercy and compassion to all souls, that the world has Krishna Consciousness. I beg for your mercy – to give me the strength and resolve to continue and progress in the path of Krishna Consciousness.

All glories to you.
All glories to the devotees.

Hare Krishna,

Because I feel only grandfather can save his grandchildren from difficulties and save them.

I remember one instance during this Krishna Janmashtami I was not able to complete my commitment of fund collection. Then I started crying and praying to you for help and you directed me whom to call and with your mercy could able to collect more Lakshmi then commited. Thank you Prabhupada.

Please forgive me for all the offenses That I am commiting and begging you for your causeless mercy unto this fallen soul.

I beg you please help my family to come into this Krishna consciousness so that we can serve better.

Please bless me to continue in this Krishnan consciousness. Because you are only my hope and I feel you are always with me in my difficulties and happyness.

Your ever trying servent.
Manjula

You took so much pain and put endless efforts to let us know about the real goal of human life. All these years l was wasting my life before coming to iskcon. My parents provided me education but you gave the true knowledge of Krishna consciousness and taught us the Hare Krishna maha mantra. My mother taught me cooking but you taught me how to cook for Krishna. Through your books you are helping me to get rid of all the anarthas. Association of devotees helps me to learn to serve guru and Gauranga.
Please be my eternal teacher as i have understood that it is a long way to go. Please forgive the numberless offenses I have comitted. I have no qualification and I don’t deserve all this…but you are an ocean of cause less mercy who is showering your blessing day and night.
I seek your guidance at every step. Now I have understood the meaning of “Yasya prasadad bhagvat prasado,yasya prasadan na gati kuto pi….”
I humbly beg you to not leave my hands in all the upcoming births ??

Please excuse all the known/unknown mistakes committed on our spiritual journey with your kindness and help us the same way how you are guiding us right now.
Kindly accept this servant’s obeisance.

Your servant,
Revathi Ramesh.

You also mentioned about what a devotee do to progress in Krishna Consciousness and I felt extremely fortunate to have you my first class siksha guru.

On your birthday I’m not qualified to glorify you but for my purification I would like to do this. I’m happy today due to your hard work on writing books and preaching spirit. I can’t imagine where I would be if not in our ISKCON moment.

You have taken so much pain during initial years of this moment like travelling across the globe, writing books, cooking for devotees tirelessly at the age of seventy. I see you as a great mahatma having fabulous leadership qualities, love for your disciples and compassion towards jiva.

On this occasion I offer my heart and sole to you and our moment and will try to continue my services towards our cute IBC.

Thank you for all the love I and my family received by you and devotees of Krishna.

Your servant,
Vishwanath

It has been a wonderful time and memorable experiences since I got connected to this great institution,
came to know the deeper aspects of devotional service and practical applications in day to day life by
the lone mercy of the devotees.

Revisiting, the past one year many thanks from the core of my heart that under devotee’s guidance I
have been engaged nicely performing my sadhana and rendering various other services as well which in-
turn helped me a lot to be more fixed and stable. Additionally, desire is there to do more towards this
great mission, but because of some on-going challenges/limitations mine efforts are being restricted.

Begging your mercy so that I can overcome such hovering impediments which directly limit the abilities
to deliver more and more time towards this noble drive simultaneously imparting the vision to see all
your instructions and indications of how to conduct my activities, words, and thoughts in such a way
that they bear the fruit of bhakti.

I bow down at your divine lotus feet again and again praying that I may always remember you, whatever
my situation may be.

Aspiring to be the servant of your servants,

Ravi Shankar Prasad

– Preparing nice foodstuff for the Lord … and then honoring them…

But most of all you are glorious for your books in which you have revealed the whole spiritual world.

You have written about Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Gosvami: “He lives forever by his divine instructions, and the follower lives with him.” This also applies to you since you are permanently fixed at the lotus feet of your spiritual master. By your shining example, you show us how to be fixed in the service of guru, the pure representative of Lord Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead.

Everyday I approach you for instruction by reading your books.

Everyday you show me how to accelerate my progress toward the supreme destination, the lotus feet of Sri Sri Radha and Krsna, by improving my chanting of the Holy Names:

Hare Krsna Hare Krsna Krsna Krsna Hare Hare

Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare

By your pure teachings, I can understand that I am not this body made of material elements.

By your pure teachings, I can understand that the perfection of my life is to be cent percent engaged in the service of the Absolute Truth, Lord Sri Krsna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead

My simple prayer, dear Grandfather Srila Prabhupada, is that I always be engaged as an instrument of Lord Krishna’s mercy without desire for material benefit.

I beg to remain in your service, eternally,

Your servant ,

Jitendra Sabat

Please forgive for the offenses I may commit in this endeavor.

Somehow or other you have determined to bestow mercy upon me for many many years but I was so stubborn and rigid that I never listened to you.

But you being savior of whole universe, you never left me behind even after my ignoring attempts. You know very well my loop holes and you plotted a plan which I easily fallen prey. Before my self realizing what is happening to me, you sent the devotees in my life, you showed me a place to practice my devotional service and finally you sent your disciple to personally chisel me from the hard material entanglements.

What else this poor fallen soul will offer you other than surrendering myself at your lotus feet and take part in your mission?

Please allow me to remember your lotus feet all the time. I know as long as I am reciting your Pranam mantra, I know you are with me eternally and guiding me.

Thank you Srila Prabhupada.

Your Servant
Tulasi Krishna Das

Your Leelaamrita is a testimonial for what Lord’s devotee is capable of. Tidbits like “Catch hold of my dhoti, I have a backdoor entry to Goloka” are some of my favourite quotes that make me thinking deeply of your eternal association with Lord Krsna, Smt Radharani, Gopis and all the Vaishanva parampara.

Please accept my offerings and it will be my privilege to have your lotus feet’s dust on my head all the time.

Eternally striving to be in the service of Vaishanva parampara.

Sitarama Prabhu

(Rama Vootla)

I thank you for all the mercy you have bestowed on me but I am so foolish that I don’t even know how much mercy you have given.

Chaksu daan dilo je, Janme Janme Karo se. You have given us the eyes to see this world, due to which we may not be subjected to ghastly mundane miseries like death and other and engage ourselves in the loving service of supreme Lord Krsna.

People like me don’t even understand how much great fortune it is to practice this process of Krsna Consciousness. We simply run for mundane pleasures of this material world.

I thank you that you have given me a beautiful place to stay in your movement. As it is said ‘Guru mukha Padma vakya, chittete koriya ekya, ara na kariho mane asha’. But I would like to humbly admit it to you that unfortunately I have very little or almost no attraction to read your books or hear your lectures. I simply beg for this attraction and I beg for your mood through which I can be an useless instrument in your movement.

Servant of Servant of Your Servant,
onkar.

Some time I used to get tears in my eyes when I read your book, or when I hear lecture I don’t know what for I’m crying. I’m very very lazy Prabhupad. Desire is there I want to learn like other mathajis. Somewhere I’m getting stopped.
Only you can help me my Dear Srila Prabhupada.

Please help me in this life itself I should perfect in Krishna consciousness and bless me so that I should preach to please you.

As a family we want to practice and spread Krishna consciousness to people, bless me Dear Srila Prabhupad. Shower your causeless mercy upon us. I should over come all my obstacles in devotional service and want to serve my Guru and Guru parampara??

Your insignificant servant
Kavirupa kesavi Devi Dasi??

In this Kali Yuga which is an ocean of misery and hypocracy you have given us the easiest method to attain Godhead. CHANTING.

when I read your Lilamrita I was in tears reading the troubles you went through. And also when you were in the ship Jaladhutta you had severe heart attack . Still you prayed to Lord . You were a stranger in the western country. You knew no one there.when you landed there there was no one to welcome you and no one to take care of you. It was entirely a new place for you. You prayed to the Lord and also wrote prayers . You were very confident Even though you were 70.

Srila Prabhupada you have taken your spiritual master’s instruction as your life and soul.
Please bless this fallen soul to be an instrument in your movement. I want to give krishna to others and preach. But I am not confident on my self. Please bestow your causeless mercy on me so that I can boldly preach.

When ever I hear your lectures it is so simple and heart touching.

I once again beg at your lotus feet to bestow your mercy on this fallen soul and bless me and please save me from committing offences not only against Vaishnavas but also against others and be compassionate towards all.

Yours humble servant of the servant of the servant
Banumathi Yashoda Devi Dasi ???

Thank you, Srila Prabhupada, for your sacrifice and giving Krishna consciousness to this world.

You are very much Alive! in your instructions, in your books, in your disciples and Followers! It is your spirit that is driving this movement further despite all challenges put forth by the influence of Kali Yuga.

With your Divine Association, thousands of ordinary men and women became extra ordinary Vaishnavas and Vaishnavi’s.

Please keep us always engaged in the service of His Lotus Feet.

Your servant,
Sriram

In this world there are still many many many other people who has failed to take your mercy, I feel pity for them and also at the same time I feel even I was one of them but out of compassionate towards me you gave me your mercy by picking me from that suffering world to your ISKCON world through your loving devotees.

I am greatfull to you and your followers (devotees) all over the world for spreading Krishna consciousness through which souls like me can benefit and uplift our consciousness.

On this auspicious occasion of your appearance day just wanted to say Thank You!!!!

Jai Srilla prabhupada !!!

Your servant of the servant,
Roopeshwari Radha Devi dasi.

I still wonder why this mercy on me? Initially, you was like some other guru for me till I got a small glimpse of your journey to west during my participation in an ISKCON Gita course in 2013. But thereafter with your mercy only, I kept getting the association of pure devotees and always amazed to see the wonderful family environment you have created for all of us to progress in Krishna Consciousness. Later When I read your biography, it was a deep insight to your personality and mood – First time I got to know that how extraordinarily determined you are for the fulfillment of your Guru’s words, How much deep you are in terms of transcendental knowledge but still calm and composed, Your Every breath and Every word had a sole objective to serve Sri Guru and Sri Krishna only even after so many difficulties initially. Unlike others, you never kept yourself as center of your mission and thus it takes time for anyone including me to realize that you are not an ordinary guru of this material world but Lords representative.

Your whole life is a practical example of :-

vāco vegaṁ manasaḥ krodha-vegaṁ
jihvā-vegam udaropastha-vegam
etān vegān yo viṣaheta dhīraḥ
sarvām apīmāṁ pṛthivīṁ sa śiṣyāt

It is truly said that – “Even if the whole earth is transformed into paper with all the big trees made into pens and if the entire water in the seven oceans are transformed into writing ink, even then the glories of the Guru cannot be written. So much is the greatness of the Guru”

So, In last just want to pray once again at your lotus feet that – please keep all of us in your shelter and use us as your instrument in the service of Lord.

Before I came in touch with Krishna Consciousness, I was indulging in all abominable acts which are royal gate to hellish conditions of life, but I was foolishly thinking them to be source of enjoyment and suffering continuously. Gradually the suffering in ignorance became so much more that I was completely hopeless in life. Even after searching for a solution for many years at various so-called religious and spiritual organizations, meeting and listening to self-styled Guru, Gods as well as by reading various books in these topics, I was clueless about the purpose of life and started thinking that there is no real purpose of life.

I was in complete darkness, in the mode of ignorance throughout my life but now it had become intolerable but by your mercy I met a devotee called Sri Sanjay Jain Prabhu at my work place. This was the lifesaver event for me because after listening to so many renowned so-called spiritual persons and completely dejected with life due to immense suffering, there was no hope for me but here I was listening to my college who was full of hope, who could answer all my queries with amazing clarity on the purpose of life and practical implementation of them. Sanjay Prabhu took personal interest in me, very patiently spent countless hours with me, taking me to temple, feeding me Prasadam, talking about Krishna, Bhagavad Gita philosophy, fascinating pass times from Bhagavatam, Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, Six Goswamis, pass times from Chaitanya Charitamritam, introducing me to devotees, talking about life of a devotee and many more things which are endless.

I have so many things to tell but I can’t express all of them here. However, I would like to tell you that I have not been able to estimate the greatness and sacrifice done by Sanjay Prabhu for me so how can I ever understand what kind of sacrifices you have done throughout your life for saving the whole world.

Still, out of countless sacrifices done by you, what made me cry was that you were alone in a foreign country and struggling for so many things but at bare minimum even food was not available to a great saintly and renowned person in India, who could meet the then Prime Minister but you continued your sacrifices to spread this movement so that an insignificant person like me, who is fit for severe punishment, but still by your mercy, persons like me also can be saved from this dangerous condition of life.

I must admit Prabhupad that even after going through so much of trials and tribulations in my life, I am so fool that I have not learned much, I haven’t been sincere, consistent in my devotional practices and still trying very hard to follow the basics rules and regulations. I am begging for your mercy and forgiveness for all of my mistakes so that somehow or other I a fallen soul like me can remain in the association of devotees.

Trying to be Your servant
Ashutosh Kumar

You have made it so simple for materially conditioned soul like me. Only thing I have to do is just glide in & follow your instructions (Chant Hare Krishna Maha mantra, Hearing, do service , associate with devotees & read Srila Prabhupad’s book) but that itself is so challenging for me. I pray to you Srila Prabhupad to shower your mercy on me so that I can follow your instructions whole heartedly else I am nowhere qualified.

Srila Prabhupada, You are the messiah for me. I always get moved when I hear how on the instruction of Guru Maharaj His Divine Grace Bhakti Siddhanta Saraswati Thakur, you went to USA to spread Krishna consciousness at the age of 70 when most of us retire. Within span of 10 years, you have converted so many conditioned souls into wonderful devotees in & around the world. Never ever it has happened before. In the old age, to do something like that is miracle. You are pure devotee of Krishna who had come to this world to inspire us to take Krishna consciousness & take us back to Godhead.

Srila Prabhupada, when I read your books, I feel, you are instructing me through your books. Now, I understand why you slept only for 2 hours & constantly endeavor to write books & record on Dictaphone. It was for us. Your books have saved so many souls in this world. These books are my savior too. Wonder how my life would have been, if you would not have come in my life.

“yadi prabhupada na hoite tabe ki hoite jivana bahite kise” written by HH Jayapataka Swami Maharaj always ring in my head.

Even though I am nowhere qualified but you have given me hope. I beg you to bless me even with tinge of your mercy so that I can progress in Krishna consciousness.

Thank you so much Srila Prabhupad. I will be forever indebted

Your servant

Nishant

If not for you i would have spent the rest of my life without knowing the main goal of a human being. The sufferings and the sacrifice that you have done to spread Krishna Consciousness all over the world is unparalleled. We are ever indebted to you.

I seek your blessings to make progress in this path of devotion. Please guide me so that i can rectify the mistakes that i make. Though it has been a few months, i feel that you are already guiding us whenever we are stuck with any roadblocks. Thank you so much for giving this opportunity to express myself. Hare Krishna

Your humble servant

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.

Your servant,
Divya

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!

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 !!

Chetan Sharma

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.

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,
Roshni Kundu

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,
Deepak Porwal

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,
Vikram Caitanya Das

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.

Your aspiring servant
vijaya nrsimha das

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 !!!

Ankit

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 !!!

Your Insignificant Servant

Deepali

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,
ISKCON Whitefield Bangalore.

My life changed because of your teachings.i am indebted to you though out my life.Because of you,I know morning program,Srimad Bhagavad Gita , Srimad Bhagavatam and devotee assotion. I understand from your teachings,Krishna is only source of pleasure .

Yours servent
Mahateja Narahari das

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.

Your Servant

Sidhartha

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.

Your insignificant servent

Namah om vishnupaadaya Krishna presthaya bhutale
Srimate bhaktivedanta swami iti namine |
Namaste saaraswate deve gauravani pracharine
Nirvishesha shunyavadi paschatya desha tarine ||

Om ajnaana timirandhasya gnanaanjana shalakaya

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,

Sulakshana Madhavi Devi Dasi

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
Kotisasi Gaurang das

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.

Lakshmi Anand

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.

You are always very very special and highly inspirational to me because what you gave me is incomparable to any other things I got in my life. There were times I was desperately looking for happiness and searching for it in many ways. Through different yoga systems, going to different spiritual organizations in Bangalore… but nothing gave me contentment as much as conviction and satisfaction I got through your books and your teachings. Your books are simply the words of Krishna. They are the reservoir of Krishna mercy. Just like when sun is present the darkness is dissipated. Similarly the knowledge and teachings you gave are torch light for this blind human society. I cant repay what you gave me but i can only beg you to make me remain in your shelter. When I started reading your books I really felt this is what I have been looking for.

Had you been not come to my life I have no idea how pathetic my life would have been and unimaginable how many lifetimes I have to be in this mire of nescience of material existence. This place is really filthy and no sane man like to live here. 

You have got such wonderful Vaishnava qualities. Your mood is always amazing. Not taking any credit for yourself but always giving it to your disciples or your Gurudev. I am amazed by your humility and saintly conduct. By your mercy if i can draw drop of these qualities , get that mood i consider my devotional life is successful. I am pleading at your lotus feet dear Srila Prabhupad that somehow kindly be merciful to me, make me a good servant of yours and your dear disciple HH Jayapataka Swami Guru Maharaja. 

I don’t think I had ever done any service to you but striving to attempt to do little services to my capacity.

Please forgive me for all the offences I did and kindly help me become a good and sincere servant.

Thank you.

Your servant.

Dhamesvara Dharmendra Das

Your gave unlimited mercy and you made a temple where irrespective of anything whole world is peaceful and joyful happily calling gauranga gauranga and Krishna Krishna… It’s great day divine grace you appeared here to deliver all fallen souls. We don’t know how Krishna will be we knew you have taken lots and lots of pain to give love of Krishna to all the living entities you are super compassionate. I remember hearing once you called your Desciple asked them to bring water. You said the ants were thirsty. Your words about supreme lord and devotees sweets like honey but mayavadis and athist your voice roaring goes like heavy thunder. How grand children will do lots of mistake out of ignorance and you always mercifully forgive helping us everyday spiritual life. Thank you Prabhupada giving us complete poshak for us to practice and get out of birth and death go back home to serve Supreme lord Krishna. Hope someday we will make you happy by the mercy of guru and Vaisnavas.. please shower us your blessings..Jai srila Prabhupada Jai srila Prabhupada Jai srila Prabhupada

Your grand child seeking your blessings and Mercy always☺

Vraja Srirupa Devi dasi

You have always stressed that God is one and the Holy name of the Lord is so powerful that everyone irrespective of their religion, caste, creed and Race can take shelter of this holy name. So there is no conflict or dissimilarity . All can come under single roof of the house that you have built which are blessed by all previous acharyas.

You have always taken the words of your Spiritual master , Srila BhaktiSiddhanta Sarasvati Thakur as your life and soul. Despite having several discomforts you have fulfilled the desire of your spiritual master. The words meditated by you were that when you have received the Crest Jewel of Harinam it has to be distributed far and wide . Just as great Vaishnava Acharya Sri Ramanujacharya who have distributed the Narayana Mantra to all so have you spread the Holy name through out the world. So are your dear disciples taking part in spreading the holy name.

Faith in the holy name is one another important characteristic that you have deep rooted in your heart. In this Kali yuga, you have shown by your own example that Faith in Holy name can cross us easily this material ocean of desires and illusion. You have exemplified that Faith in the holy name stands as a pillar and binds us to the holy name.

You have always said that the holy scriptures could be relished through ears. Reading and Hearing the scriptures like Bhagavad Gita, Srimad Bhagavatam and Chaitanya Charitamrita relieves us from material anxieties. You have always stressed to hear from Vaishnavas acharyas. You have also made it clear that whenever Japa is done, it should be properly heard too. This is the best medicine for ill effects of Kali.

You have always instructed that one should always be in association of devotees. This is like a fencing that guards one from falling down or from getting away from the Bhakti. All your disciples and grand disciples are so enthusiastic that they always hanker to be in association of devotees and provide helping hands and pull others who are dwelling in maya or fallen in to clutches of maya by lack of devotee association.

Pls bless me that I develop a dint of the faith in holy name and I never move away from the association of devotees . I may relish the beautiful pastimes of lord and his devotees through a proper disciplined reading and hearing, thus improving the standards of my Sadhana and Service.

Your Spiritual Grand daughter,

Sirisa Haripriya Devi Dasi

Dear Srila Prabupada, thank you very much for choosing this planet to enter and allowing me to connect to this spiritual world which you created in this material world. With your mercy, I am fortunate to get association of so many of your disciples and sincere followers, who keeps inspiring me to grow in Krishna Consciousness. I am very fortunate to connected to you who is the senapati bhakta of the sankirtan movement of Sri Chaitanya mahaprabhu as mentioned in Sri Chaitanya Charitamrita. All glories unto you dear Srila Prabhupada, to who else can be given glories if it is not your divine grace, who set the standards and direct examples in all the fields and stages of a human life to show the mankind to become, stay and grow in Krishna Consciousness.

Just like the tenth canto of Srimad Bhagavatam is the Summum Bonum, Your Divine Grace is the highest good in the succession of the all acharyas. Your Divine Grace is the manifestation of the desires and mercy of previous acharyas in line of disciplic succession to preach and propagate Krishna Consciousness and the standard for acharyas of next generations. I repeatedly beg at your lotus feet to shower mercy upon me and other followers of yours and keep us engaged in your missions. Kindly empower me to face the material world and keep me in continuous touch with the spiritual activities as recommended by your divine grace. Bless me to understand your mood and mission, through your books, lectures and other forms as you desire, to give a purpose to this present life of mine and execute it as you desire.

Thank you again and again, dear Srila Prabhupada. All glories unto you and all glories to Sri Guru and Gauranga.

His Divine Grace A.C.Bhakitivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada ki Jaya.

Your servant forever,
Prafullakumar Seelam

Prabhupad without your blessings in the form of Bhakt Sangha, your books, the Ratha Yatra and kirtans, “yasy-aprasadan na gatih Kutoh api” , we would not be able to move an inch towards the absolute realization; the Bhagavan realization.

You showed us the path, a systematic approach for the upliftment of our consciousness. This in the first place made us a better human being. However, we are still in the process of endeavoring to become a devotee. Each day I fall and each day your books pick me up.

You taught the real meaning of Devotional Service which is to serve the lord with love and channelize everything in the service of God and not merely meditate on him and do nothing. You taught compassion when you made the hippies your first disciples. Your books answer all the questions which arise due to our materially contaminated conditions.

Your mission made ISKCON which gave me a family. The unconditional love which I got from this family is a true reflection of your mood which is imbibed in all the devotees. ISKCON is the only community where people yearn to render selfless service simply to contribute to your mission.

I got this opportunity to render my offering, is, in itself a piece of your mercy, as I am certainly not qualified to talk about you amongst the devotees who have been practicing for years together. I may be one of the most insignificant parts of your mission but I feel fortunate enough to be a part.

Hare Krishna!!
Anoop Srivastava

At old age other people just take retirement and sit at home. And you at old age travelled to countries and spread the glories of holy name, build temples , trained people who even didn’t knew who is Krishna, wrote many books with sleepless nights. All this in small span of time, It’s all Divine power and it’s beyond my understanding.

I feel very fortunate to be in your organization and in association of devotees.
Please bless me that I always remain in the association of devotees, never loose the taste in chanting the holy name and serve the vaishnavas selflessly.
Because of yours and acharyas mercy I am now officially connected to the glorious gaudiya sampradaya. HH Radhanath Swami maharaj accepted me as his disciple and gave the name Gaura Raya Das. My humble prayers at your lotus feet that, till last breath of my life I remember and follow the initiation vows.

Please grant me benediction that I never forget the mood and mission of yours and always strive to achieve it through the instructions of guru maharaj and senior vaishnavas.

Again I beg for association of devotees and be under the guidance of senior vaishnavas and be the servent of your servents.

Srila prabhupada ki Jai.

Your servent
Gaura Raya Das

I am very insignificant to say something about you. But I am very thankful to you for giving me this precious gift of Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON).

While celebrating your 123rd appearance day at our IBC I heard your lecture from senior devotees which opened my eyes and soul that how much struggle you have gone through in your life to change life of people and bring them in to KC. It is your greatness and dedication that you went to NY at the advanced stage of 70 years and spread the message of Krishna Consciousness, even though there was so much diversity of Culture.

You have taken so much pain during initial years to spread this moment like travelling across the globe, writing books, cooking for devotees tirelessly at the age of seventy. I see you as a great mahatma having fabulous leadership qualities, love for your disciples and compassion towards all. Please always be my guide as still there is a long way to go. Please forgive all my offenses I have committed over the years. I have no qualification and I don’t deserve all this…but you are an ocean of cause less mercy who is showering your blessing on us all the time.

Please forgive me for all the offenses I am committing and I repeatedly beg unto you for your causeless mercy unto this undeserving soul.

I pray Srila Prabhupada that your vision for every home to become a temple and for the people on this earth to be happy with simple living and high thinking will be manifest very soon.

I offer my respectful obeisances unto my spiritual master, who has opened my eyes, which were blinded by the darkness of ignorance, with the torchlight of knowledge.

I offer my respectful obeisances unto His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, who is very dear to Lord Krishna on this earth, having taken shelter at His lotus feet.

Our respectful obeisances are unto you, O spiritual master, servant of Sarasvati Gosvami. You are kindly preaching the message of Lord Chaitanya deva and delivering the Western countries, which are filled with impersonalism and voidism.

‘O saintly Vaisnava! Please hear my prayers. I am the most wretched and fallen soul, drawing in this formidable material ocean by Providence. Please help me to cross over this ocean by grabbing me by the hair of my head and pulling me out’

We didn’t deserve anything that Lord krishna gave me. Dear Prabhupad we are eternally indebted to you and Guru Maharaj. Hare Krishna!!!

Bowing at your lotus feet continuously,

Your endearing servants,

Thank you for the morning program which protects us from allurements of maya and also thank you for prasadam which is non different from the lord.

I admit that I have been unable to take full advantage of the process you have given.

I pray at your lotus feet for the strength and intelligence to take maximum advantage of the above and to constantly serve you for the pleasure of their Lordships.

Your faith towards your spiritual master and Hare Krishna mahamatra simply changed our lives.

Your exemplary behavior:
You inspire us by your achar. I have read in books that how you were tolerated the behavior of hippies, they were smoking on your face and stealing your things, but you always showed compassion to them. Whenever you are physically sick you didn’t compromise on spreading sankirtan movement and you feel good whenever devotees inform you about book distribution scores. All night you write books without taking care of your physical body health.

Life dedicated to instructions of Spiritual master:
Your spiritual master told to spread this movement in western country and printing of books. You have made these instructions as your life and soul and flooded the whole world with Krishna Consciousness. In your lectures you always emphasized where is book? Where is book? And requested everyone to distribute books. I personally see that so many people live have changed just by reading your books.

Thank you, Srila Prabhupäda, for rescuing me. Every day I feel your loving presence. Thank you for giving me a transcendental engagement in devotional service, for teaching me how to live and how to die.

Your insignificant servant,
Ankur Bajpayee

“Patita pavana”- You are merciful to dedicate your life writing books just to make the fallen souls realize the purpose of life. In fact, you had mercifully reduced the regulations to a bare minimum for practicing bhakthi just to elevate fallen souls like me.

You are strong and convincing , whenever you deliver lectures Srila Prabhupad ! – I am attracted the way how you counteract the mayavadis just by simple examples from our daily life. Hearing your lecture again and again is never the same or boring for we learn new points everytime . Your lectures have so much to assimilate. ‘Life comes from life’ – exemplary examples you have given.

You are the JagatGuru – Compiling several volumes of Vedic scriptures in modern English and present the essence alone to fallen souls like us in a simple way shows that your are an incarnation Of Vysadev in Kali Yuga. Knowing me to be unqualified, and ever needing your mercy I beg you to please use me as an instrument in your mission.

You are so potent that just by hearing your pastimes my consciousness gets purified and my faith in Krsna increases.You were totally dependent on Krsna in every moment of your life and I pray for your mercy so that I increase my dependence on Krsna for everything.

You had mentioned that you are living in your books. Along with your books, your presence is felt from your lecture recordings as well. The greatest asset that you have left aside, apart from books are your disciples. How much you would have inspired them which made them give up everything and just continue your mission as their life. Kindly bless me so that I can atleast get a glimpse of that mood.

Always dependent upon you and your disciples’ mercy and blessings to be in association with devotees throughout.

Your servant’s servant – Premasundara Madhava Das

You gave us wonderful devotees, you translated all required vedic literature to benefit us. You gave us wonderful lectures. You gave us perfect instructions through your books. Your glories are innumerable. I am so fallen and very miser, only receiving from you, not distributing your mercy to other people, please bless me so that I can able to receive more mercy and distribute all your mercy to people.?

Your grand child and wants to be servant of all your servants
Krsna Karunamurti Das.

Because of your mercy Srila prabhupada we got the chance to understand the true meaning of our scriptures Bhagavad Gita and various other scriptures you have written. Because of your mercy we are able chant Krishna’s name which is Krishna Himself.

You made clear what actually should be the goal of a person in this materialistic world that is to go back home back to Godhead. You made us realize the actual value of devotees and Guru and Gauranga and how their mercy plays a vital role in advancing in Krishna consciousness and without which we can’t progress in our spritiual path.

You told us the importance of all Dhama’s. You made Krishna consciousness so easy but still i a fallen soul is not taking it seriously. Please Prabhupada, i beg at your lotus feet, please shower your mercy on me so that i follow your and Guru’s instructions seriously and make an endeavor to serve Krishna, you and Guru maharaj in best possible ways i can.
Please always keep me in association of devotees and that i may always continue to serve my Guru and Krishna sincerely birth after birth.

Moreover, all these efforts were put just to fulfill the wish of his Spiritual Master. 

In this era of kaliyuga when many bogus gurus are cheating the innocent people’s emotions for selfish reasons, you stand out to be like a savior for the mankind. You are not only giving them highest knowledge, which is the only and only way for living entities to go back to the spiritual world but you are also transforming their lives in many ways and making them a good human being in this material world. 

I was struggling in the battle of life when suddenly your soldiers came as a savior and made me realize the value of this life. You added lot of value to my life, which I thought to be of no use until your books made me realize how fortunate I am to get this human form of life.

I have definitely done some good karma in my previous life that I got connected to you and your ISKCON family. I can't thank you enough for what you have given to me.

Your Servent
