Our dear and most respected spiritual master,

Please accept our most humble obeisances in the dust of your divine lotus feet. All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

On this most auspicious occasion of your Vyasa-puja, we are trying to meditate on your exalted nature, for doing so cleanses the heart of all dirty things and distractions.

A Disciple in the Footsteps of Srila Prabhupada

As I am studying bhakti-vaibhav and came across this wonderful purport from Srimad-Bhagavatam 4.28.48, where Srila Prabhupada writes, “The main business of human society is to think of the Supreme Personality of Godhead at all times, to become His devotees, to worship the Supreme Lord and to bow down before Him. The acarya, the authorized representative of the Supreme Lord, establishes these principles, but when he disappears, things once again become disordered. The perfect disciples of the acarya try to relieve the situation by sincerely following the instructions of the spiritual master. At the present moment, practically the entire world is afraid of rogues and non-devotees; therefore this Krsna consciousness movement is started to save the world from irreligious principles. Everyone should cooperate with this movement in order to bring about actual peace and happiness in the world.”

You are very faithfully following the teachings and instructions of Srila Prabhupada. You have imbibed the qualities of Srila Prabhupada as a perfect disciple. Your dedication, commitment, steadiness, confidence, patience, and consistency of effort are beyond this world. We often wonder how you can do all this! Where do you get your inspiration? The answer is clear, Guru Maharaja—your inspiration is to save the whole world from irreligious principles, and to bring actual peace and happiness in the world.

Your life and service embody Srila Prabhupada’s core mission

Each acarya carries a distinct mood, and Srila Prabhupada’s emphasis on preaching as the heart of devotional service shines brightly through you. Unshaken by setbacks or discouragement, your dedication remains resolute and selfless. You have become a living example of his profound declaration: “Preaching is the essence.” Such unwavering commitment surely places you among those most dear to Srila Prabhupada.

Your noble character and tireless outreach reflect boundless compassion for all conditioned souls. You welcome and uplift everyone who seeks shelter—bestowing mercy without discrimination. The diversity among your disciples speaks volumes: you perceive the soul beyond the bodily designations. This is the vision of an uttama-adhikari, as described in Nectar of Devotion.

Your preaching is deeply personal

Despite advancing age, you remain an unstoppable force in sharing the divine message of Lord Krsna. Each morning, as we hear your classes, we are touched by the depth of your wisdom, and the loving care with which you speak. Your words don’t just inform—they inspire, motivate, and transform.

Whether through intimate one-on-one exchanges, public lectures, or thoughtful responses to frequently asked questions (FAQs), your outreach is deeply personal. You meet each soul where they are, adapting your message to resonate with their unique journey. Your approach is never rigid; it evolves gracefully with the needs of your audience, reflecting your sensitivity and spiritual maturity.

The insights you share are not just nectarean wisdom drawn from scripture, they are the essence of decades of sincere and dedicated devotional practice. Your presence itself is a living testament to the transformative power of bhakti-yoga and an inspiration of hope for all who seek shelter in the path of devotion.

We sincerely pray from the core of our hearts to Lord Nrsimha-deva to protect and bless you, to carry out the orders and spread the mission of your spiritual master, His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada.

Kindly forgive us for our offenses and mistakes committed knowingly or unknowingly. We hope to remain disciples ever aspiring to serve you with real faith, love, and dedication.

Your servants, aspiring to serve,
