Amitasana Dasa
Respected Srila Prabhupada,
Please accept my humble obeisance at your lotus feet.

Today is the celebration of your appearance within this world, and it is a time of great rejoicing. We are
grateful to Lord Krishna for sending an empowered representative like your good self to shake us out of
the ignorance and illusion of material existence.

In one morning walk you were asked:
Paramahamsa: Srila Prabhupada, when you are not present with us, how is it possible to receive
instructions, for example, on questions that may arise?
Prabhupada: Answers are there in my books.
Paramahamsa: Other than that, for example, that we would ask you in... Do you direct us also
through the heart? Besides the Paramatma?
Prabhupada: If your heart is pure. Everything depends on purity.
REF. Morning Walk May 13, 1973, Los Angeles
On this most auspicious day I pray to you to reveal to me how I can make my heart pure, so that I can
receive your transcendental direction and guidance.

In one letter you wrote:
Physical presence is immaterial; presence of the transcendental sound received from the
spiritual master should be the guidance of life. That will make our spiritual life successful.

On this most auspicious day, I beg you to remove the veil of wrong beliefs in my heart. Our beliefs are
usually so powerfully embedded in our mind and consciousness that they create a pattern of thinking.
Whenever we hear your instructions and transcendental sound, the message is first filtered through
these belief systems, causing the actual message heard to be distorted. On this most auspicious day, I beg
your mercy to accurately receive your instructions, understand them correctly and execute them
diligently.

Thank you, Srila Prabhupada, for the wonderful gift of devotional service that you have given me. Please
allow me to remain your servant eternally.
Your humble servant,
Amitasana Dasa, Vice President, ISKCON Bangalore.

been completely and satisfactorily dealt by you in that wonderful purport.
TheversespeaksabouthowukadevaGosvmappearedinthemidstofgreatstalwartsagesand

TheverseSB1.19.25reads:

At that moment there appeared the powerful son of Vysadeva, who travelled over the earth disinterested
and satisfied withhimself.He did not manifest any symptoms of belongingtoany social order or status of

While the different sages, without agreement about the various processes of sacrifice, yoga,
austerityand charity in their attempttogiveMahrjParikshit themost appropriate instruction,
ukadeva Gosvm came there of his own pure will. The words used in this connection are
yadrcchay,outofhisownwill(withoutbeinginvited)andanapeka,notdependentonanything

Thus your appearance in the Western world in many ways is similar to how rla Sukadeva

you are more merciful than ukadeva whowaited till all the great sages and rishis assembled to

that, you showered your grace on all of them. This is an unprecedented display of mercy of the

In the purport to the above verse you said, ukadeva Gosvm never accepted any formal spiritual
master, nor did he undergo any formal reformatory performances. His father, Vysadeva, was his natural
spiritualmasterbecauseukadevaGosvmheardrmadBhgavatamfromhim.
rlaPrabhupda,youintroducedtheconceptofthisnaturalspiritualmasteronthesepagesof

i.e.,thosewhostudyandfollowyourteachingsasgiveninyourbooks.Fromyourexplanations,it
is clear that a natural spiritual master is notone by formality or ritual ceremony, but by the
dissemination of actual spiritual knowledge. In fact Lord Ka tells Sudhm Vipra dyo 'ga
yatrrami yathha jna-do guru: The person who bestows transcendental knowledge upon the
membersofallthespiritualordersofsocietyisonesultimatespiritualmaster.Indeed,heisasgoodasMy

VyasaPuja2011

Madhu Pandit Dasa
This is the Vyasa Puja offering made to His Divine Grace A.C.Bhaktivedanta Swami ,Srila Prabhupada
on 23
rd
August 2011.

Dear Srila Prabhupada,
Please accept my most respectful, humble obeisances. All glories to Your Divine Grace!
Srila Prabhupada, Your Divine Grace have displayed so many exalted qualities during the years that you
physically graced this world. In the midst of the most degraded age we live in, it is the good fortune of
humanity to have been blessed with your transcendental wisdom. It is our greatest fortune that our lives
have been touched by your divine mercy.

On this auspicious day I humbly wish to contemplate on one of the aspects of your transcendence that
has greatly impacted me from the very first day I came in touch with you. Your presentation of the
purity of guru Tattva or the principle and surrender of a disciple to a Guru, who is a personal
representation of such purity was most impressive. You uncompromisingly present the truth by severing
the falsehood. You teach who the guru is by your personal example. Whatever you teach is based on the
highest tattva or principles of absolute truth. Hence, when you speak about bogus gurus, you include the
entire gamut of gurus, both within and outside of Vaishnava sampradaya. Generally one tends to think
that you are referring to cheaters outside of the Vaishnava sampradaya. But in order to teach us
deviations in our own sampradaya, you even point out specific examples of Vaishnavas posing as acaryas
though not qualified. But unfortunately this is one issue in your movement that had been and is being
compromised repeatedly after your Samadhi eating into the purity of your transcendental mission.

We find your instructions playing a most unique role in understanding guruship, post 1977. In order to
gain a realistic perception of what happened in ISKCON after 1977, one has to go back in time and see
things as they were then. In 1977, after your samadhi, and a few years thereafter, everyone understood
without a doubt, that guru is synonymous with pure devotee. Ie; Guru never falls. Nobody in ISKCON
even dreamt of a philosophy that accommodated the idea of a guru falling down. It was just not
ISKCONs philosophy then is an historical fact. In the following conversation you clarified that the
acarya has to be a pure devotee and that the idea that he falls down to mode of passion is a concocted
one.
Akaynanda: I was recently told by one devotee that the crya does not have to be a pure devotee.
Prabhupda: What?
Akaynanda: That the crya does not have to be a pure devotee.
Prabhupda: Who is that rascal?
Akaynanda: Well, he said it. Who said it?
Prabhupda: Who said? Who is that rascal? The crya does not require to be a pure devotee?
Akaynanda: He said it. Niti said it. He said it in this context. He said that Lord Brahma is the
crya in the Brahma-sampradya, but yet he is sometimes afflicted by passion. So therefore he is
saying that it appears that the crya does not have to be a pure devotee. So it does not seem right.
Prabhupda: So who is that rascal? I want to know who has said.
Akaynanda: Niti. Niti dsa.
Harikea: Niti said that?
Prabhupda: Who is Niti dsa?
VyasaPuja2011

Harikea: Our Niti.
Akaynanda: Niti.
Prabhupda: Oh, our Niti? Oh.
Akaynanda: He said he couldn't understand it, but he thought, he said that he thought...
Prabhupda: He manufactured his idea. Therefore he's a rascal. Therefore he's a rascal. Niti has
become an authority?
Akaynanda: No, actually he said that he thought...
Prabhupda: He thought something rascaldom, and he is expressing that. Therefore he is more rascal.
These things are going on. As soon as he reads some books, he becomes an crya, whatever rascal he
may be.
----- Morning Walk December 10, 1975, Vndvana

Many times new devotees, who enter the movement have raised a question to me; Prabhu, it is difficult
to believe that such senior devotees who did so much service to Srila Prabhupada would actually deviate
and fall for such ambition. This is easily understood from your own teachings about the shajiya trap or
pitfall that a practitioner of bhakti is prone to fall into if he one is not careful.
You said;
Sahajiy means they take very easily. I am.... Everything is all right. Now I am perfect. That is
sahajiy.
------ Morning Walk June 7, 1976, Los Angeles

Historically, we have seen that Gaudiya Vaisnavism immediately after Lord Chaitanyas times, had gone
through a phase of degradation mainly because of deviation arising out of shallow and cheap
understanding of the advanced tenets of Lord Chaitanyas philosophy.

The phenomenon of sahajiya is the greatest danger that leads to deviation from the purity of original
teachings. It is all about taking transcendental attainment cheaply. It manifests as a disturbance in
society in the form of unqualified persons imitating advanced and exalted standards, either because they
are ambitious for cheap adoration or they genuinely believe they are advanced and elevated. Sahajiya is a
common pitfall that the sampradaya falls into from time to time. Taking shelter of the instructions of the
spiritual master and strictly following them is the only way to stay on track since some of these sahajiya
traps are very subtle and pass off easily as desire for expanding ones devotional service to ones Guru. It
passes off so seamlessly and is impossible to detect as sahajiya , until after a period of time, disastrous
results show up. Phalena parichayate.

Unfortunately after your departure, leaders of ISKCON fell prey to sahajiya traps. One, in 1978 and the
other, in 1985. The first trap was immediately after your transcendental disappearance. Eleven leaders
appointed by Your Divine Grace to initiate disciples on your behalf , declared themselves to be the next
acaryas of ISKCON. These eleven were young both materially and spiritually, being in the movement
for less than a decade. In fact the leader among them, Tamal Krishna Maharaj acknowledged on
December 3
rd
1980 in a public meeting, I can definitely say for myself , and for which I humbly beg
forgiveness from everybody, that there was definitely some degree of trying to control() This is the
conditioned nature and it came out in the highest position of all. Guru, oh wonderful! Now I am guru, and
there is only eleven of us.. Thus the case of these eleven is clearly a case of being grossly ambitious in
taking a position that they were not qualified. They imitated Your Divine Grace in the manner of
VyasaPuja2011

sahajiyas and initiated their own disciples. The resultant situation that followed such a sahajiya imitation
of Your Divine Graces position is akin to what Your Divine Grace has said;
Prabhupda: A patient is thinking, "How shall I dance when I become healthy?" First of all, rascal,
become healthy, then talk of all this. The rascals are thinking like that. You are patient; first of all
cure your disease, material disease. Then talk of all this. Utopian. "When I will get rich, how I shall
treat.... I shall.... Then my wife is disobedient and I shall kick her like this," (laughter) and as soon as
he kicked on the earthen pots, all broken. Then he, "Oh, then my.... All prospects have gone." You
know this story?
Tamla Ka: What was in the pot?
Prabhupda: That.... A potter, potter boy, he had got some earthen pots selling. So he was dreaming,
that "By selling this earthen pot, I'll make so much profit. Then I shall purchase another batch, I shall
make profit. In this way, I shall be millionaire. Then I shall marry, and my wife must be very
obedient. Otherwise I shall kick." So in this way, he kicked over the pots and (laughs) all of them
broken.
---- Morning Walk June 7, 1976, Los Angeles

These eleven, being ambitious to become big acaryas, started initiating disciples on their own. The result
of the imitation of Your Divine Grace is the sad history of ISKCON over years. The self made gurus,
trapped in the clutches of illusion about themselves, have kicked and destroyed all the valuable (pots)
assets of ISKCON and rendered it bankrupt both spiritually and materially. The disaster forced
thousands to leave ISKCON, thus rendering the movement bereft of their valuable services.

When these self declared acaryas fell down one after the other, thousands of innocent disciples were
left shattered and spiritually abandoned. This is clearly nothing short of spiritual abuse of jivas.
Everyone is familiar with the million dollar law suit that hundreds of materially abused children slapped
on ISKCON leadership. Bigger law suits wait in the court of Yamaraja, for spiritual abuse of thousands of
innocent souls who stepped into ISKCON to surrender to your lotus feet.

Calamity after calamity has befallen these sahajiyas, imitators of Your Divine Grace. These fall downs
were not a merely accidental but were also steeped in deceit. All of these fallen self-made acaryas had
become habituated to illicit activities for extended periods of time before they were finally exposed to the
world. On the one side they were pretending to be pure and receiving worship like pure devotees, as
good as Krishna, and on the other side they were simultaneously involved in illicit activities behind
closed doors.
Just like Rpa Gosvm has given, ruti-smti-purdi-pcartriki-vidhi vin, aikntik harer
bhaktir utptyaiva kalpate [Brs. 1.2.101]. It is utpt, disturbance. If you do not follow the
principles of ruti, smti, pura, pcartriki-vidhi...... Without following these principles, the so-
called devotional service, Hari-bhakti, utpt, simply disturbance, simply a disturbance.
-----Lecture on The Nectar of Devotion Vndvana, November 1, 1972

These sahajiya deviations among leaders in ISKCON, have created a great disturbance due to violation
of the most important principle of devotional service. What is the principle that they violated? Their act
of becoming gurus and accepting disciples without qualification and authorization.

By the year 1984-85, these fall downs had become an embarrassment to the whole movement. There was
questioning and rebellion from the rank and file devotees against the then leadership by a 50-man
VyasaPuja2011

committee, seeking reforms. Ironically many members of the 50-man committee were philosophically
bribed into becoming gurus themselves, that year. They, disregarded and ignored the clear
direction/order on initiation given by Srila Prabhupada in black and white- explaining it off as non-
traditional and calling it a lone document. However the glaring fact is that the direction was addressed
to the entire GBC and all Temple Presidents. As if the spiritual master has to repeat himself over and
over in order to convey himself.

This resulted in rampant multiplication of the cancer of sahajiya. Today there are more than hundred
malignant tumors attacking the body of ISKCON. Thousands of innocent souls seeking shelter of Your
Divine Grace are misdirected into the faith that these persons are their personal gurus, to be revered and
worshipped as per standards taught by you in the matter of perceiving and treating a bonafide guru by
any sincere disciple. Your Divine Grace did never taught of any kind of semi qualified bonafide guru
with a lower standard of reverence and worship like once a year puja etc from the disciple.
Instead of addressing the root of the problem, which is disobedience of the order of the spiritual master,
in 1985 the GBC fell into the next sahajiya trap. What exactly was the trap? They legalized their years of
rationalization of fall down of gurus by changing the very philosophy. They conveniently accommodated
the theory that bonafide gurus can fall down. Today the ISKCON law book contains a chapter on fallen
gurus, suspended gurus, when not to reject a fallen guru, rectification of gurus, reinstating fallen gurus
after rectification, reinitiation etc. This sahajiya theory has made a cheap mockery of our exalted
parampara and made a laughing stock of the movement even to a common man. This is against
everything that you taught about guru tattva. They have struck at the foundation of truth on which you
so painstakingly built your transcendental movement.

Srila Prabhupada, you clearly taught that the guru must be a person in the category of Narada Muni.
This is the process of initiation. The disciple must surrender to the spiritual master, the
representative of Ka. The spiritual master, being in the disciplic succession stemming from Nrada
Muni, is in the same category with Nrada Muni. A person can be relieved from his sinful activity if
he surrenders to the lotus feet of a person who actually represents Nrada Muni.
---CC Madhya 24.258 Purport
Further you teach about the elevated position of the spiritual master:
Such an crya, or spiritual master, should be considered nondifferent from Kathat is, he
should be considered the incarnation of Lord Kas potency. Such a personality is kligita-
vigrahathat is, he is always embraced by the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Ka. Such a
person is above the considerations of the varrama institution. He is the guru, or spiritual master,
for the entire world, a devotee on the topmost platform, the mah-bhgavata stage, and a
paramahasa-hkura, a spiritual form only fit to be addressed as paramahasa or hkura.
--- CC Madhya 25.9 Purport
The guru must be situated on the topmost platform of devotional service. There are three classes of
devotees, and the guru must be accepted from the topmost class.. Such a guru can accept disciples
from all over the world. Pthiv sa iyt. This is the test of the guru.
--CC Madhya 24.330 Purport

You have clearly taught that to become a spiritual master one needs an order from his predecessor
acarya. This rule of needing authorization to become a guru from the predecessor guru is the only
protection against a misjudgment by oneself or other conditional souls as to the qualification of a soul
for rendering such a grave service to the guru parampara. Assessment of conditioned souls or self
VyasaPuja2011

assessment to qualify for that service, without a specific order, is a road guaranteed to lead to the
sahajiya trap, even if it is well intended by some among them.
One should take initiation from a bona fide spiritual master coming in the disciplic succession, who
is authorized by his predecessor spiritual master. This is called dk-vidhna.
-----SB 4.8.54 Purport

And you have emphasized that unless authorized, one cannot become spiritual master.
The spiritual master is the manifested representative of the Lord to help one achieve ultimate success.
One who is not authorized by the Lord cannot become a spiritual master. rla ukadeva Gosvm is
an authorized spiritual master, and thus he was inspired by the Lord to appear before Mahrja
Parkit and instruct him in the teachings of rmad-Bhgavatam.
--- SB 1.19.36 Purport

Following the order of the bona fide spiritual master is the only duty of the disciple, and this
completely faithful execution of the order of the bona fide spiritual master is the secret of success.
----SB 2.9.8 Purport
The Lord's order descends in disciplic succession through the bona fide spiritual master, and thus
execution of the order of the bona fide spiritual master is factual control of the senses. Such execution
of penance in full faith and sincerity made Brahmj so powerful that he became the creator of the
universe.
-----SB 2.9.8 Purport
The parampar system of disciplic succession is very important as a means of spiritual success. One
becomes a mahat by the grace of his mahat spiritual master. If one takes shelter of the lotus feet of a
great soul, there is every possibility of one's also becoming a great soul. When Mahrja Rahgaa
asked Jaa Bharata about his wonderful achievement of spiritual success, he replied to the King that
spiritual success is not possible simply by following the rituals of religion or simply by converting
oneself into a sannys or offering sacrifices as recommended in the scriptures. These methods are
undoubtedly helpful for spiritual realization, but the real effect is brought about by the grace of a
mahtm. In Vivantha Cakravart hkura's eight stanzas of prayer to the spiritual master, it is
clearly stated that simply by satisfying the spiritual master one can achieve the supreme success in
life, and in spite of executing all ritualistic performances, if one cannot satisfy the spiritual master,
one has no access to spiritual perfection.
---- SB 3.22.6 Purport
Sometimes the spiritual master is addressed as Prabhupda. Prabhu means "the Supreme Personality
of Godhead," and pda means "post." According to Vaiava philosophy, the spiritual master occupies
the post of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, or in other words he is the bona fide representative of
the Supreme Lord.
----SB 4.8.69 Purport

Thus you have taught in very clear terms the qualifications of a bona fide spiritual master to whom one
should surrender in order to advance in spiritual life and go back to Godhead. Undoubtedly he has to be
a pure devotee and confidential servant of Krishna, one who is constantly embraced by Krishna and in
the category of Narada Muni. Who else can certify a person to be on this most exalted platform other
than the predecessor Acharya? Thus the rule of authorization. Unless you have specifically authorized
one or more, Your Divine Grace continue to be the current link in the parampara.
VyasaPuja2011

Their imitation having miserably failed for three decades, most of the self-made gurus of ISKCON have
been humbled by kala to now state it is Your Divine Grace alone who takes everyone Back to Godhead,
except one of the original eleven. It took decades of debate and discussion for them to even concede that
Your Divine Grace is the siksa guru for everyone in ISKCON. The fact that it took decades to accede to
Your Divine Grace even your foremost siksha position in ISKCON alone goes to show how deep routed
was and is disease that has crept into the movement of neglecting Your Divine Grace. But having got
addicted to the intoxication or rasa of jivas surrendering to them, they are unable to come out of the trap
entirely and have now settled for a compromised position as unqualified small time gurus who are not
pure devotees (pre-empting disciples from shocks of future fall downs). But Your Divine Grace has said:
It is illegal to become a spiritual master if one is unable to deliver the disciple. -------SB 2.8.7 Purport

The self made gurus further reason that a spiritual master in flesh and blood is required to guide the
disciple and therefore out of necessity some have to become gurus. That such guidance from a guru in
flesh and blood is not necessary and that vani , transcendental sound, is more important has been amply
emphasized by Your Divine Grace, like in the conversation below:
Indian lady: Is that the spiritual master still guiding after the death?
Prabhupda: Yes, yes. Just like Ka is guiding us, similarly, spiritual master will guide. We are
being guided by Ka, by the Bhagavad-gt. Although Ka is not physically present, still, His book
Bhagavad-gt is there. And that Bhagavad-gt is nondifferent from Ka.
--- Lecture on HDG Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakuras App.Day, London, September 23, 1969

The very reason, Srila Prabhupada, you have mercifully set up the ISKCON institution with your
transcendentally brilliant foresight, is to make this guidance available at all levels from different
Vaisnavas who are servants of Your Divine Grace. This system of guidance or sadhu sangha worked
during your physical presence. Most of the guidance for a devotee automatically comes from your books
and the system you set up, with Vaisnavas delivering sadhu sangha. Even at a practical level, none of
these self- made gurus are really guiding the disciples on a day to day basis. Not even as much as others
in the ISKCON institution like temple leaders, temple commanders etc are doing.

So who are these new entities called gurus in ISKCON and what part are these self made gurus playing
when there was never such a functional requirement prior to 1977? Just a blind traditional ritual of
having someone in flesh and blood to be called guru. Just figure heads, doing nothing more than what
Srila Prabhupadas books and his institution are already. Just a group of imitators choking on their
attempt of trying to be as good as Krishna. The sastras point out that nobody can imitate Lord Shiva by
drinking the ocean of poison, nor can anybody imitate Lord Krsnas lifting of Govardhana Hill. By such
audacity, these self made gurus are in turn choking the institution with a parallel people management
structure. Can these very persons not do what they are doing more honorably, without being initiating
gurus and claiming disciples for themselves ?

Your Divine Grace in fact exposes a type of guru exactly like the ones in ISKCON now. They are the
ones who on their own initiative become spiritual masters i.e.; self-made gurus.
The spiritual master must never be carried away by an accumulation of wealth or a large number of
followers. A bona fide spiritual master will never become like that. But sometimes, if a spiritual
master is not properly authorized and only on his own initiative becomes a spiritual master, he may
be carried away by an accumulation of wealth and large numbers of disciples. His is not a very high
grade of devotional service. If a person is carried away by such achievements, then his devotional
VyasaPuja2011

service becomes slackened. One should therefore strictly adhere to the principles of disciplic
succession.
---- Nectar of Devotion 14

And a bonafide guru who follows the orders of his guru will never fall down.
If one always follows the orders of the spiritual master, there is no question of falling down. As soon
as a foolish disciple tries to overtake his spiritual master and becomes ambitious to occupy his post, he
immediately falls down.
----- SB 5.12.14 Purport

The latest genre of gurus is the humble guru. The fad among them now, is competing to become the
humbler guru. But guruship cannot be given up by them at any cost. They somehow want disciples.
They dont mind any guru reform as long as there are disciples. It is not just a guru disease but a disciple
disease - a disease, ranging from gross to subtle manifestation of usurping your position and your
disciples in ISKCON.

Srila Prabhupada, you have already foreseen all these shams and have written about them. You have
pointed out that these humble gurus are also sahajiyas.
This kind of mind game is described by Your Divine Grace below:
Actually a first-class reputation is due Mdhavendra Pur because he was a most confidential devotee
of the Lord. Sometimes a sahajiy presents himself as being void of desires for reputation (pratih)
in order to become famous as a humble man. Such people cannot actually attain the platform of
celebrated Vaiavas.

Today more than 40 gurus have fallen down, majority of them being other than the first set of imitators.
The results show that the so called reform of 1985 is no reform at all but perpetration of the same
disobedience and disturbance in the society. Many keep falling down and a few new ones crop up every
year. Countless souls have gone through the abuse as disciples of these self made gurus, when these self
made gurus fall down. While the world does not tolerate any institution abusive of its members, we are
pained to see what innocent souls experience in ISKCON today, by placing their spiritual faith simply to
be abused again and again. We pray at your lotus feet that this illusion be quickly broken by propagating
the truth spoken by Your Divine Grace and that people who read your books and associate with
ISKCON, understand Your Divine Grace as the current link and accept none other than Your Divine
Grace as their spiritual master; and that these self-made gurus meet their destiny of one day having no
takers of their philosophy.

Why should there be infighting in ISKCON? You Divine Grace has given an answer why this schism
happens:
This verse describes the beginning of a schism. When disciples do not stick to the principle of
accepting the order of their spiritual master, immediately there are two opinions. Any opinion
different from the opinion of the spiritual master is useless. One cannot infiltrate materially concocted
ideas into spiritual advancement. That is deviation. There is no scope for adjusting spiritual
advancement to material ideas.
----CC Adi 12.9 Purport

VyasaPuja2011

Today a guru falling down does not create a tremor as it did in 1980 when we heard that one of the
eleven gurus had fallen down. The reason for the change in reaction is easily understood from the
instructive parable used in Management:
If you place a frog in a pot of boiling water, it will immediately try to scramble out. (This is like the
initial reaction when the first few of the eleven started falling down- many jumped out of ISKCON). But
if you place the frog in room temperature water, and dont scare him, he will stay put. Now if the pot sits
on a heat source, and if you gradually turn up the temperature, something very interesting happens. As
the temperature rises from 70 to 80 degrees, the frog will do nothing. As the temperature gradually
increases, the frog will become groggier and groggier, until he is unable to climb out of the pot. Though
there is nothing restraining him, the frog will just sit there. This is because the frogs internal apparatus
is geared to sudden changes, not to slow gradual changes.

ISKCON today can be compared to this. Over the last three decades, we have gradually got used to
hearing of so many gurus fall downs. As an organization we have become incapable of doing something
about it, just like the frog, oblivious of the fact that ISKCON has degraded to a sahajiya organization
where guru has become really cheap. We are abusing the most pristine position of guru. Sadly, we have
become an organization different from the spiritual organization that you had founded and left behind.
Even this you had foreseen, and warned us about the consequences of such deviations:
r Caitanya Mahprabhu has therefore advised us to avoid bhakti-siddhnta-viruddha and
rasbhsa. In this way the devotee can remain pure and free from falldowns. Everyone should try to
remain aloof from bhakti-siddhnta-viruddha and rasbhsa.

You further quote your Guru Maharaja cautioning about sahajiya:
Prabhupda: Bhaktisiddhnta Sarasvat hkura, he said that "When our men will be sahajiy, oh,
they'll be more dangerous." So our men are becoming, some of them, sahajiys. This very word he
said, that "When our men will be sahajiys he'll be more dangerous."
----Room Conversation January 24, 1977, Bhuvanevara
Prabhupda: These sahajiys will come out of so many devotees. What can be done? From my Guru
Mahrja's disciples, so many sahajiys came. These are called sahajiys. Very easily they capture
thing. So my Guru Mahrja used to say, "When my disciples will be sahajiy, it will be more
dangerous." He used to say like that. Take things very easily. You know that Puruottama, supposed
to be my Godbrother?
----- Room Conversation January 28, 1977, Bhuvanevara

This is your most important analysis on why the Gaudiya Matha failed:
Why Caitanya Mahprabhu says guru more mrkha dekhi' karila san? This is sahajiy-vda. He
is thinking, "Oh I have become liberated. I don't require any direction of my guru. I'm liberated." Then
he's rascal. Why this Gauya Maha failed? Because they tried to become more than guru. He, before
passing away, he gave all direction and never said that "This man should be the next crya." But
these people, just after his passing away they began to fight, who shall be crya. That is the failure.
They never thought, "Why Guru Mahrja gave us instruction so many things, why he did not say
that this man should be crya?" They wanted to create artificially somebody crya and everything
failed. They did not consider even with common sense that if Guru Mahrja wanted to appoint
somebody as crya, why did he not say? He said so many things, and this point he missed? The real
point? And they insist upon it. They declared some unfit person to become crya. Then another man
came, then another, crya, another crya. So better remain a foolish person perpetually to be
VyasaPuja2011

directed by Guru Mahrja. That is perfection. And as soon as he learns the Guru Mahrja is dead,
"Now I am so advanced that I can kill my guru and I become guru." Then he's finished.
--- Room Conversation August 16, 1976, Bombay

Unfortunately the very thing that you feared has happened in ISKCON after your disappearance.
The result is now everyone is claiming to be acarya even though they may be kanistha adhikari with
no ability to preach. In some of the camps the acarya is being changed three times a year. Therefore
we may not commit the same mistake in our ISKCON camp. Actually amongst my Godbrothers no one
is qualified to become acarya. So it is better not to mix with my Godbrothers very intimately because
instead of inspiring our students and disciples they may sometimes pollute them.
-- Letter to: Rupanuga Tirupati, 28 April, 1974

Srila Prabhupada, you are the seer of past, present and future. You have forewarned of all that was to
happen in ISKCON. In your transcendental vani lie the answers for everything. Your transcendental
instructions and association of likeminded sadhus are all that is required to go back to Godhead this very
life as assured by Your Divine Grace. When the confidential mission of a pure devotee is being obviously
disturbed, it is the duty of every disciple to do something to quell such disturbance. It is only in such a
spirit of service to Your Divine Grace that , we devotees in Bangalore are engaged in vigorously
propagating your instructions regarding initiation in ISKCON. It is not in the attitude of being holier
than thou meaning holier than other Vaishnavas in this world. I am ever grateful to Your Divine Grace
for sheltering us so lovingly and protecting our devotional service in spite of always falling short of
sufficient faith and devotion unto your lotus feet. Please bless me so that I can be worthy of being the
servant of the servant of the most sincere and obedient disciples of Your Divine Grace. It is only by your
causeless mercy that I am engaged in devotional service since I am not worthy of it and have no personal
qualification to be engaged thus. I am eternally indebted to Your Divine Grace for your eternal shelter,
kindness and continued flow of mercy.

Kindly accept my respectful obeisance,

Kindly forgive me for not taking out time to adequately glorify your wonderful qualities.
The significance of Vyasa Puja is that the disciple worships and tries to repay what he has received from
Spiritual Master.

As you say:
Guru-a. Debtor to the spiritual master, to the sages, to the saintly persons, because we are
getting knowledge from them. Therefore the Vysa-pj is there. Once in a year the disciples are
worshiping the spiritual master and trying to repay what he has received from the spiritual
master.- SP
But one who thinks that he can repay the debts of spiritual master becomes a laughing stock like a joker.
A joker's activities simply arouse laughter, and a person who tries to repay the spiritual master
or teacher of the transcendental message of Ka becomes a laughingstock just like a joker
because it is not possible to repay such a debt.-SP

Even though we cant repay the spiritual master, the spiritual master becomes very pleased by such an
attitude by the disciple.
If you feel at all indebted to me then you should preach vigorously like me. That is the proper
way to repay me. Of course, no one can repay the debt to the spiritual master, but the spiritual
master is very much pleased by such an attitude by the disciple. In the Bhagavad-gita it is said,
vyavasayatmika buddhir ekeha kuru nandana [Bg. 2.41], "Those who are on this path are
resolute in purpose, and their aim is one." Our only business is to be fixed up in devotional
service by pleasing the spiritual master.- SP

So on this most auspicious day let me take up the determination of taking up the only business to be
fixed up in devotional service by pleasing you.
Your fallen servant,

Satya Gaura Chandra Dasa
Please accept my humble obeisances unto the dust of your lotus feet. All glories to your Divine Grace.

Srila Prabhupada, you have explained the secret of r Vysa-pj in your Vyasapuja offering to your
spiritual master: When we meditate on the transcendental pastimes of the Absolute Godhead, we are proud to
feel that we are His eternal servitors, and we become jubilant and dance with joy. All glory to my divine
master, for it is he who has out of his unceasing flow of mercy stirred up within us such a movement of eternal
existence. Let us bow down at his lotus feet

Your mercy has stirred-up a movement of eternal existence in millions of souls on this planet. It would
be impossible for any of us to even guess that we are eternal beings & servitors of Lord Sri Krishna. It is
even more impossible to understand pure practical devotion to the Almighty Lord. It is purely your
mercy that the world is enjoying this essence of knowledge & in fact became a familiar message to
millions.

Your Divine appearance has thus purified the entire world. The entire planet is glorified because of your
Divine presence. Despite your physical absence, your Divine presence is continuing to be available even
now in your unadulterated books & institutions which strictly follow your guidance.

In one of the conversations you mentioned:
Prabhupda: He (Srila Bhakti Siddhantha Saraswathi Thakur) said like that. I could not understand
at that time what does he expect. Of course, I knew that he wanted me to preach.
Yaodnandana: I think you have done this in grand style.
Devotees: Jaya, Prabhupda! Haribol!
Prabhupda: Yes, done grand style because I strictly follow the instruction of my Guru Mahrja,
that's all...

ISKCON-Bangalore is trying to follow your instructions strictly particularly the foundational instruction
of accepting you as the spiritual master. This is the reason why ISKCON-Bangalore is blessed with grand
style results to the envy of so called god brothers, Vaishnavas & Gurus. This envious nature is nothing
new. You had mentioned in your letter dated 29
th
Aug 1972:
Do not be depressed. All along my god brothers gave me only depression, repression, compression
but I continued strong in my duty. So never mind there is some discouragement, continue with your
work in full enthusiastic Krishna Consciousness attitude of service
It is easy to counteract the envy of snakes, bigger animals & karmies but the envy of so called
Vaishnavas having picked-up highest clarity of how things exist in this world & how world runs is
intolerable & dangerous. The Vaishnavas are not supposed to use the clarity of things to go against
grand style preaching. These so called Vaishnavas are so envious that they have become blind to
capture the bricks of the temple & trying to destroy the preaching results of ISKCON-Bangalore not
knowing that these are your blessings to the humble endeavors of the devotees of ISKCON-Bangalore.

Srila Prabhupada, only by your causeless mercy that today we are still in your service @ Hare Krishna
hill. You carefully protected our devotional services even when the combined demoniac forces
threatened ISKCON-Bangalore from all angles: financial, legal, public relations, popularity etc..,
VyasaPuja2011

Today on this auspicious day, our fervent prayer to your lotus feet is to keep us always in your service @
Hare Krishna Hill. We pray that you accept us as yours in any capacity either as dancing black elephants,
monkeys or anything. This is our most secure position.
Srimad Bhagavatam describes a pure devotee as Agdha-dhiaa dvijam: the crya is a perfect
brhmaa and has unlimited intelligence in guiding the activities of his disciple.

We pray to your Divine Grace that we be guided by your unlimited intelligence to cross through the
envious activities of demonic forces. We are neither intelligent nor capable to withstand the demonic
forces. We are weak & fallen. We need your special guidance so that your glories be spread from this
most famous & glorious temple of ISKCON-Bangalore.

Srila Prabhupada, please forgive our offenses unto you and give us the chance to serve you & your dear
Lordships Sri Radha Krishna Chandra. Please give this world a chance to come to know of your real
glories by keeping ISKCON-Bangalore under your protection. Please keep us in your services despite our
weaknesses & insincerity

In one of the conversations you mentioned:
This same man, hes guru, so long he gives the real knowledge of Ka. And the same man, hes
ordinary man, as soon as he cannot give. Same thing, just like a stone doll, when it is worshiped
according to the regulative principlesKa. And the same doll, kept in the sculptors
showroom, it is stone. So if we keep our movement pure, then you are as strong as Ka. And as
soon as you deviate from it, immediately, ordinary. This is the secret. [Room conversation,
Honolulu, 3 May 1976]

Please give us the strength to remain vigilant not to deviate from your instructions. We appeal to your
divine graces unlimited intelligence to keep us on track & pure by following your instructions carefully.
We, as GBCs, need your special blessings to remain instruments in your hand to keep this movement
pure & not make it ordinary.

It is a special blessing on me to do a specific service @ Hyderabad though I am weak & fragile. I pray to
you that you accept me as a complete fool & guide me to perfection to your satisfaction in all my
endeavors.
On this auspicious day, I beg your Divine Grace to forgive me for all the offenses that I have committed
at your lotus feet and keep me always in your service. I also beg all my god brothers to forgive me for
any offenses that I have committed to them so that I can improve my services to you.

Your lowly servant,
Satya Gaura Chandra Dasa, President, Hare Krishna Movement, Hyderabad.

VyasaPuja2011

Stoka Krishna Dasa
Please accept my most humble obeisances at the dust of your divine lotus feet. All glories to you on this
most auspicious day of your divine appearance.

As years go by, I am beginning to realize that your glories are unlimited. If I can appreciate even a small
fragment of those glories then my life will be successful. The gopis who are the topmost devotees of
Krishna have glorified you in the following verse:
tava kathmta tapta-jvana
kavibhir ita kalmapaham
ravaa-magala rmad-tata
bhuvi ganti ye bhrid jan

"My Lord, the nectar of Your words and the descriptions of Your activities are the life and soul of those
who are always aggrieved in this material world. These narrations are transmitted by exalted
personalities, and they eradicate all sinful reactions. Whoever hears these narrations attains all good
fortune. These narrations are broadcast all over the world and are filled with spiritual power. Those who
spread the message of Godhead are certainly the most munificent welfare workers."

You have come to this world out of your boundless compassion for the suffering souls. You are
broadcasting the nectarean Krishna Kathamrita all over the world. Thus you are glorified by the gopis as
the most munificent welfare worker in this world. By your mercy millions of suffering souls are getting
relief from the blazing fire of material existence. I am one such fortunate soul who has received your
mercy. But I am very selfish because I do not distribute your mercy to the other suffering souls.

I pray to you to bless me to give up my selfishness. May I become an instrument in your glorious
mission. Your mercy is very powerful for it can work in the depths of stonehearted people like me and
make me give up my lethargy to work hard to distribute your mercy. Your mercy is my only hope. Being
always dependent on your mercy, I remain,

Your insignificant servant,
Stoka Krishna Dasa, President, ISKCON Mysore.

Please accept my humble, prostrated obeisances at your lotus feet, which are the shelter for all fallen
souls of kali yuga in this universe.

Srila Prabhupada, with each passing year, it becomes more and more difficult for me to glorify you. For
with each year, I realize more of just really how unimaginably great you are and how really, really,
indescribably fallen I am. To find the right encomium of you becomes tougher, given that words keep
falling shorter and shorter of your glories by increasing miles.

Forbearance and a forgiving nature are the hallmarks of a Vaishnava. If that is so, I am unable to fathom
the limit of your forbearance and forgiving. Even during your presence on this planet, some of your
immature disciples allowed mayavada to creep into their consciousness, claiming that you were Krishna
Himself. With utmost compassion and alacrity, you nipped the mayavada in its bud, lest it should eat
away your treasured institution like termite eats away wood, making it hollow from within, while
externally it seems to be the same. However, mayavada again reared its ugly head after your physical
departure. Your disciples, maddened by their lust for lording over jivas, ambition for power and hunger
for worship, opened the doors wide of your beloved ISKCON for mayavada to come barging in. Claiming
that you were Krishna Himself and that they also were Krishna Himself was ruled out. So what was the
next best solution for mayavada to represent itself? Claim to be as good as Krishna Himself! This was a
clever ruse by maya if you cant become Krishna, then become as good as Krishna. They declared
themselves as the next gurus, claiming to be as good as Krishna Himself, like you, replacing you.

What has happened in the last 34 years is an open story. Those disciples who perpetrated this offense,
could never have imagined in their wildest dreams the horrors that this mayavada was about to unleash
on your ISKCON. Your ISKCON was meant to protect the women, children and older devotees. And
today ISKCON while remaining externally the same, has only child abuse, exploitation of women and
disenfranchising the old for its accomplishments.

People still visit your centers, see the deity worship albeit different from the standards you set and read
Jayadvaita Maharajs version of your books and appreciate ISKCON as a great movement. However, what
they fail to realize is that what they are seeing is all hollow inside. The ISKCON we see today is not the
solid, pristine, complete ISKCON you left us with, capable of making pure devotees out of conditioned
souls, filled with love for one and all who approached its shelter. The ISKCON of today is externally the
same but internally, has been rendered hollow by the termites of gurus. It can collapse any moment.

The fact is, the hollow ISKCON would have collapsed long ago. It is only your unlimited forbearance
and forgiving nature that is keeping it going even now, in its termite eaten condition. I really marvel at
your compassion in engaging all those misled and mayavada ridden devotees in Krishnas service
somehow or other, despite all their deviations and your continuing to allow them to use your and
VyasaPuja2011

ISKCONs name. However, your transcendental compassionate chastisement awaits them, just as it was
with those disciples who claimed you were Krishna.

I pray to your lotus feet, Srila Prabhupada, that you may kindly protect all the devotees of ISKCON
Bangalore and its centers from this attack of mayavada. May we never fall prey to such mayavada. Please
continue to guide us in our earnest endeavor to serve your instructions to the hilt. We seek your
continued protection of our centers from the attacks of the termite like gurus. You may protect us or
may choose to not to, from the attacks of the self appointed gurus, as you deem appropriate. But by your
blessings, that is not going to shake our resolve to follow your instructions at the cost of even our lives.

And on my personal front, what can I ask you Srila Prabhupada, except to grant me uninterrupted,
loving remembrance of Sri Sri Radha Vrindavan-chandras lotus feet. My heart fills with dread, Srila
Prabhupada, thinking that I must be committing so many sinful activities and offenses, knowingly and
unknowingly, at your lotus feet. What is the fate of such a sinful and offensive person as I? It can only be
eternal residence in the bottom-most planets of the hellish kingdom. However, I still humbly beseech
you even in those most abominable conditions, please do not allow me to forget your instructions and
the lotus feet of Sri Sri Radha Vrindavan-chandra.

Srila Prabhupada, you have so mercifully granted me all my requests and prayers till date except for
one desire which too you revealed later on how it would have only resulted in misery for me. I will
remain forever indebted to you for constantly being by my side. Although I have no qualifications to talk
of, although I have not carried out any significant service pleasing to you, although I cannot understand
your teachings, although I am unable to follow any of your instructions, I humbly beg you to please
grant me this desire of mine to not forget your vani and the lotus feet of Sri Sri Radha Vrindavan-
chandra, under any conditions and in any life time.

Please accept my humble obeisances.

Srila Prabhupada the gift of Krishna Consciousness that you have given us is the rarest of the rare. Its
my unimaginable good fortune to have received it from your divine hands. I had absolutely no
qualification to receive this rare gift. But still out of your causeless mercy you chose this soul drowning
in an ocean of material existence to be the recipient of this rare gift. I can never thank you enough for
this and will be eternally indebted to you for this.

Even in this conditioned stage of Krishna consciousness your divine instructions are so soothing for this
soul and it at once pacifies the heart. By reading even one line of your books immediately makes me feel
so relieved and peaceful.

Srila Prabhupada, you have given us such a transcendental and inspiring process for progressing in our
Krishna consciousness the process of chanting Hare Krishna and if chanted with attention, takes us
VyasaPuja2011

immediately to a transcendental platform. We simply have to go on repeating the holy names. You gave a
nice example of a child. Just like a child who cannot write very good hand handwriting. He is asked that
You write so many pages. By writing, writing, writing, writing, writing, he writes good handwriting. In
the same way just by chanting, chanting, chanting... we will achieve perfection in Krishna consciousness.

Perfecting ourselves in chanting is the best way to become Krishna conscious. In another place you
mentioned that our only duty is to be Krishna conscious. All other things will be automatically supplied
by Krishna.
The child is born; immediately there is milk in the breasts of the mother. And one minute before, there
is no milk. Just the child is born, immediately. Who supplies the milk? He does not see that one
Supreme is supplying all the necessities of the others. So our duty is only to become Krishna
conscious. Other things will be supplied by Krishna.
REF Morning Walk, May 26, 1976, Honolulu
Enthuse the people to stick to the chanting of Hare Krishna Mantra and following the rules and
regulations. Then they will be strong enough to manage things very nicely. Other things will be
supplied by Krishna.
REF Letter to Tamal Ka, October 18, 1969, Tittenhurst

This is such a nice understanding that you gave us Srila Prabhupada. We feel so secured both materially
and spiritually to feel that Krishna will supply everything if we are Krishna conscious. Generally we start
making our own material arrangements for a peaceful living forgetting the fact that if we just take care of
ourselves being properly situated in KC, other things will automatically be supplied by Krishna. This
complete dependence on Krishna is wanted. This faith we must have.

And to become KC is so simple just chant and hear.

Sometimes in spiritual life it becomes so difficult to follow these simple practises. We become
complacent with time and forget our real goal. We have to be constantly reminded about these simple
practices that we have to strongly adhere to. I pray Srila Prabhupada to please keep me at your lotus feet
and constantly remind me about all these important aspects of spiritual life. Please keep me at the service
of the servant of your servants for the rest of my life.

Thank you Srila Prabhupada.
Your servant,

Achyutha Krishna Dasa
Please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet. All glories to you.
Recently in an Istaghosti meeting among devotees, preaching and qualification to preach was the topic
we mainly discussed, each preacher shared the experiences they had and heard from their seniors in
Preaching:
1) One devotee preacher explained that he is facing criticism from a life member of ISKCON constantly
and he had been cursing devotees since he had seen many times devotees fighting among themselves in
community and even seen in newspapers constantly the fighting between Bangalore with Mumbai
ISKCONs for various reasons. Although the preacher tried to explain the differences between two
groups, he was not very much satisfied with his answers and felt all ISKCON devotees are hypocrites as
they preach differently from what they follow.
2) A Folk student was being preached by the devotee for many years. As he had no faith in chanting or
following principles, slowly this person started feeling convinced and took up some principles in his life.
He always admired his devotee preacher to be an excellent person and felt gratitude for helping him to
get out of many basic issues in his life by KC preaching and making him your follower. As time passed
they became so close to each other but the same Krishna topics which were so inspiring initially became
tasteless. The reason was that both spoke hours together about each other and sharing their weaknesses
but had a little time for Krishna. The preacher also happens to share few of his past experiences with his
friends and relatives before coming to spiritual life which were naturally immoral and unethical. Slowly
they turned to become material friends than what they were supposed be spiritual. After all this, the boy
had a new opinion now. He changed his viewpoints on that preacher, the student regularly used to
advise the devotee that it is better to be as his good friend and be straight forward in all his dealings with
them and not act in duplicity by posing himself as a great devotee.
3) One life member had told the preacher devotee not to talk to him and his family until he does his
duty as a preacher perfectly. He claimed to know the capacity of devotee for years and his due negligence
in caring his family members during emergencies. This preacher was himself so disturbed and was
almost crying incapable to justify his intentions and in neglecting them. Although the case was settled by
Lords mercy and they again started coming to temple, but their opinions changed on devotees, they
were seeing them only as opportunists to take advantage of people's weakness for collecting money for
temple.
In all the above cases, the common factor discussed was the qualification of the preacher and
qualification of the receiver (preached).
Common mistake with both of them was to forget that you, Srila Prabhupada, were the one who is
connecting all these jivas to Krishna and all others were only your institutional representatives. And to
represent you in this service does not require anyone to be a pure devotee, but a sincere follower
(sadhaka) of your divine grace.
The seeker of knowledge can benefit perfectly by this reciprocation without being entangled by a
preacher as they are connected to the movement directly through you.
The mistake of the preacher is not identifying the surrendering mood of a new comer to any spritiual
authority. He instead starts misusing those simple and honest feelings towards his personal service in
Maya. One example of yours to the preachers is to see the young girls or anyone coming in touch with
the movement to be servants of Gopis and they are meant for Krishna's enjoyment and not for anybody
else.
If preachers and followers realize their duties properly and attach to you personally then even in the
present conditioned state, there could still exist the affectionate relationship between them like anyone
shares with their family and friends.
VyasaPuja2011

Considering all above issues and sensitivities, if we start questioning ourselves why at all the conditioned
souls should preach among general public and create confusion, better they remain silent in their home.
But your opinion is totally different and your compassion to the conditioned souls in Kali yuga is
unparallel.
In a conversation with devotees in Jagnannatha Puri in 1977, you spoke-
"Prabhupda: All debauch. Because they're getting fat salary. What they'll do? They do not know how to
use it. Wine, woman, restaurant, dance-finish. So we have got very pessimistic view of this modern
world. You may like or not. Simply spoiling time. rama eva hi kevalam [SB 1.2.8]. Simply work without
any profit of the human form of life. And nobody is interested to correct the procedure. If we try to
correct them, they will accuse us that "These people are brainwashed. They are deviating these young
men from the general procedure of human civilization." Hm? What is this? Illicit sex stopped? Then
where is life? This is life, if young boys and young girls mix freely and have sex, and as soon as she is
pregnant, you go away, let her suffer, no responsibility. The poor girl, long before, father, mother
divorceno protector. And as soon as she selects somebody husband, and as soon as pregnancy, he goes
away. And old agethere is no family, no son. Ninety-nine percent the woman class live like that. How
hopelessly the old ladies are sitting downonly one cat, one dog, one television. The old men also like
that, hopelessness. Or drinking or seeing the television. And a dog friend. Is that life? And we want to
correct it"brainwash."
Gurukp: They are so mad and they have no brain to even understand this. You cannot talk to them at
all Prabhupada !
Prabhupda: No, no, we have to do. Otherwise there is no meaning of preacher. Most thankless task. We
want to save them, and they accuse us. My Guru Mahrja used to give that example: A boy is flying
kite, and he's going like this. He's just come on the edge of the roof. He is going to fall down. And
somebody says, "Hey! What are you doing this for?" (shouts:) "Why you are checking me? Oh, my kite
is gone, gone. I have gone back." This is going on. If you want to save them, they will accuse you that
"My kite-flying is disturbed. Don't do this." "And why you are. Why...? You'll fall down." "Never mind.
That is my business. Why you are checking me?" This example was given by my Guru Mahrja. You
want to save him. Who is a gentleman who will not save him? He is falling down next moment. That is
natural. But he is angry. "Why you have checked my kite-flying?" So it is a different type of civilization,
a different style of life. If you want to introduce they will accuse you, so many, like madmen. And still
we have to do. That is preaching. You cannot expect very smooth life in preaching." End
Prabhupada, your words are really an eye opener for all of us. After hearing the above words, all devotee
preachers were very much pacified and realized their mistakes, they took up the same spirit to preach in
any condition, either they are insulted, criticized and mistreated in preaching the glories of Krishna.
Even they became ready to convince any newcomer to offer all respects to you and not to themselves
and even if the newcomer respects the preacher to be your representative, they will anyway be benefited,
after all humility means not to expect any respect from others.
The words "preachers job is a thankless task" was very striking, even materially speaking there is no
holiday for a mother in a family or preacher in his spiritual family", both of them can do service day and
night tirelessly in duty and not for any salary or reward. They seek only love from their families.
Similarly every devotee should do his primary duty to love only your ambitions and preaching spirit in
this world.
Other day, one devotee asked that we can see your divine grace reciprocating so well even among us
who are so weak and inexperienced, then why are the so-called gurus and others not realizing it. First of
all, the so-called followers and Gurus are themselves bogus; they will continue to remain cheaters and
cheated for they never wanted spiritual life for satisfying Krishna but only wanted to use Krishna for
their own name fame etc.
VyasaPuja2011

So please Prabhupada, Let all of us try to understand the true love and affection you want to give to the
whole world and be your honest disciples in helping each other in not getting cheated by so-called
preachers or Gurus.
Trying to be your Servant,
Achyutha Krishna Dasa, President, Hare Krishna Movement, Puri
Jaganmohan Krishna Dasa
Please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet. All glories to Your Divine Grace! On this most
auspicious appearance day of Your Divine Grace, I simply bow down at your lotus feet, hoping with
great humility for your causeless mercy.
Who can be more fortunate than me, who am struggling with effects of karma, was handpicked by your
Divine Graces causeless mercy. I remember how, as I grew up, my miserable, unfulfilled life was the
perfect background to lead me to you and devotional service. Krishna is the perfect mystical arranger
and you are the perfect fulfiller of His will! How miraculous and fabulously fortunate for me and for all
of us who have taken to Krishna consciousness, which is the true medicine for our suffering condition.
How even more miraculous to have lasted over years and years of tests, ups and downs, and to still be
positive about Krishna consciousness. Thank God for all my mature, thoughtful, loving devotee
authorities and friends who help me weather all the storms and difficulties in life by their good council
and association.
By your mercy, Srila Prabhupada, my life has been transformed with meaningful goal, endeavors, and
activities beyond this temporary, superficial material life. As you said in SB purports, being in the
material world is certainly miserable, but certainly when one is put into the association of atheistic men
it is intolerably so. This is the condition of human being especially in this Kali Yuga everyone is put in to
conditional life according to his karma. Only a person who is practicing bhakti under the bonafide
spiritual master can understand the fact and will be eager to return home, back to Godhead taking
shelter of the lotus feet of the Lord and thus being fully trained in Krishna Consciousness. Condition
souls are constantly trying to enjoy with the help of material opulence, which may be somewhat pleasing
for time being, but it is temporary, but also one must work extremely hard to gain it. So in the material
world, whether one is miserable or happy, both conditions are miserable. If one actually wants happy
blissful life, one should become Krishna Conscious.
To make people happy, so many theories are floated by mundane leaders, scholars and learned people of
this society. But the fact is that manufacturing many ways will never be effective. However just by
following the footsteps of the previous acharyas is extremely effective. And being the bonafide
representative of the Lord, you have further simplified the whole process and it is very easy to practice
for the most fallen people of this age of kali. But it is so unfortunate that some forces are trying to
disconnect the aspiring souls to have direct contact with your Divine Grace as their sole spiritual master.
Since then few of your sincere disciples (ISKCON, Bangalore group) took up the mission of bringing
back the glory of your transcendental movement, ISKCON which is apparently got polluted by selfish,
materially overpowered leadership within the organization.
yasyaprasddbhagavat-prasdo yasyprasdnnagatikuto 'pi
By the mercy of the spiritual master one receives the benediction of Krishna. Without the grace of the
spiritual master, one cannot make any advancement.
Certainly we should always reflect on our relationship with you, on who you are to us, and on how we
are following or failing to follow your instructions. Dear Srila Prabhupada, let us find our spiritual center
in you so we can weather any storm. My sincere prayers unto your Divine Grace are please strengthen all
VyasaPuja2011

of our faith and guide all of us to succeed in this mission of revival of your divine movement, which is
the only true shelter for condition souls to get out of this miserable life.
While trying to fulfill your desire, preaching Krishna Consciousness, which is only means of our
purification, we are daily confronted with the challenges and serious obstacles put before us by the
material energy. The most serious are our uncontrolled minds and senses, which are always trying to
again drive us into the lower modes of nature. What is amazing is that, despite our uncontrolled senses,
we still want to be known as advanced Vaishnavas.
Dear Srila Prabhupada, please guide me on the way of purification. Forgive me for being lazy, foolish,
and offensive. Without you I remain the victim of Kali-yuga, the servant of my senses and mind. I pray
that you will raise me by your mercy from this aimless, materialistic mentality and convert me into
obedient, humble servant with only one desire: to please Krishna by any means, in other words, to serve
your divine mission until my last breath.
Thanking you for giving this greatest opportunity of serving your Divine Grace and Lord Krishna.
Jaganmohan Krishna Dasa, President, Hare Krishna Movement, Ahmadabad.

Dear Srila Prabhupada
Please accept my humble obeisances on this auspicious appearance day of Your Divine Grace. All glories
to you!
I wonder if I can ever offer Your Divine Grace sincere praise with all frailties and impurities. My only
hope is that by writing offerings to Your Grace one day I will become sincere.
Srila Prabhupada, as you had mentioned that Spiritual Master is the one who takes the disciple to the
other side. This side is the conditioned life; the other side is the life of freedom. The Spiritual Master
takes the disciple to the other side by opening his eyes with knowledge.
In the present state of conditioned life also there is freedom, which is nothing but moving from frying
pan to the fire. I wish that one day I will be able to open my eyes with knowledge and experience the
real-freedom, which is, serving the orders of Your Grace.
At times I feel rapturous on the causeless mercy bestowed upon me by the Supreme Lord in placing me
in Your Divine Graces shelter. But most of the time my situation is ahakra vimhtm kartham iti
manyate. To come out of this, I feel the only remedy is to continue Krsna Consciousness more rigidly
under Your Divine Graces shelter. Depend only on the causeless mercy of the Lord for deliverance and
not even slightly on one's own strength.
I beg for your benediction that I shall never leave the service of Your Lotus Feet. I shall always be
grateful.
All glories to Your Divine Grace
Your servant,
Janardhana Dasa, President, Hare Krishna Movement, Guwahati.

It is very inspiring and instilling confidence and a beam of hope upon us whenever we preach to
outsiders about your glorious position. Without a doubt and difficulty they are able to accept your
position as the only Acharya. Although they might not have studied the guru tattva still they could sense
and relate you to the sacred position of an Acharya. Then what to speak of devotees serving your mission
in spreading Krishna consciousness. But it is surprising to see that many devotees are confused of your
glorious position as the sole Acharya for ISKCON.
Perhaps Maya has played her trick on devotees also to bewilder them about the fundamental aspect of
guru tattva itself which is the beginning point in ones spiritual life. And let alone ones progress in
spiritual life. Devotees must understand and see the working of avarnatmika shakti(covering potency of
maya) and be careful not to succumb to it. I sincerely pray on this most auspicious day to remove the
ignorance and shine forth the torchlight of your glorious position as the Acharya of ISKCON upon the
mislead devotees.
After the recent development in the court case and the exposure of false gurus many devotees are
thinking of abstaining from ISKCON or from Krishna Consciousness itself or practice Krishna
consciousness at home alone. But I am preaching to them that this is the time to show our integrity,
commitment and loyalty to Srila Prabhupada and his divine movement- ISKCON. Then they will be
specially blessed by you and Lord Krishna. Maya is testing our faith on guru and Krishna at this
juncture. If we pass this test then our spiritual life will be successful and if we fail then we will lag
behind. No confusion and doubts in this regard can save us. If one doubts your glorious position as the
spiritual master of ISKCON then one will stay back in the material world to continue the cycle of birth
and death while those sincere and fortunate souls who have accepted Your Divine Grace as their spiritual
guide will go along with you to the kingdom of God, Krishnaloka.
Let us make a resolution from this auspicious day onwards if not earlier than later and persevere them
and engrave them in the core of our hearts the following:
1. The lotus feet of rla Prabhupada are my real wealth. They are the object of my devotional
service and worship. They are the treasure of my heart, and they are my ornaments and the life
of my life.
2. For me they are the reservoirs of all rasa and the conclusion of the religion of the Vedas. They
are the fulfillment of all my desires and the goal of all my vows, my austerities, my religious
activities, and the chanting of my mantra.
3. By the power of those lotus feet my activities will become favorable to devotion, I will achieve
spiritual perfection, and with these two eyes I shall be able to actually see. Both day and night
the exquisite beauty of rla Prabhupadas divine lotus feet will shine like the brilliant full moon
upon the lotus of my heart, soothing my afflicted soul.
4. O Srila Prabhupada, the venom of the snake of separation from you has enfeebled my soul, and
now my life is ever afflicted and distressed. Alas! Please have mercy and give me the shade of
your lotus feet. I am trying to take refuge of those very divine feet.
This is as important as the most confidential verses spoken in the Bhagavad Gita 18.65 and66
man-man bhava mad-bhakto mad-yj m namaskuru
mm evaiyasi satya te pratijne priyo 'si me(BG 18.65)
Always think of Me, become My devotee, worship Me and offer your homage unto Me. Thus you will
come to Me without fail. I promise you this because you are My very dear friend. (BG 18.65)
sarva-dharmn parityajya mm eka araa vraja
aha tv sarva-ppebhyo mokayiymi m uca(BG 18.66).
VyasaPuja2011

Abandon all varieties of religion and just surrender unto Me. I shall deliver you from all sinful reactions.
Do not fear. (BG 18.66)
Perhaps one can also say this is indeed what the above two verses from Bhagavad Gita mean or must
mean for all of us about Srila Prabhupada.
Srila Prabhupada this year quite a few devotees have joined your mission in spreading Krishna
Consciousness by your divine mercy. The youth preaching is picking up here and there is good response
from the students. Devotees are fired up for youth preaching. There are also a lot of
challenges/competitions/clashes in preaching in this place. Please bless our tiny efforts and guide us and
empower us so that we can bring more sincere souls under your shelter for their eternal good fortune. It
may be challenging for us but may be an insignificant task for you. I am therefore praying to you on this
auspicious day for your kind intervention. Please help us get a nice piece of land for propagating your
glories and the glories of Sri Sri Krishan Balarama and Sri Sri Radha Shyama Sundar.
I beg pardon for the offenses committed knowingly or unknowingly at your lotus feet and the lotus feet
of all vaishnavas and let they not hamper my progress in dedicating my life for eternity unto those divine
feet of yours in your divine movement. Brimming with great confidence being endowed with your
causeless mercy and always anticipating your mercy in future I offer my most important service of
glorifying you and continue my services for your divine pleasure .

Please accept my humble obeisances unto the dust of your lotus feet.
Twelve years ago when I had first come in touch with Krishna consciousness I was completely thrilled.
The excitement for kirtans, lectures, Prasadam and service was so much that I was ready to forgo all the
social formalities including ones duties to parents. The desire to follow your instructions was so strong
that any wish for sense gratification could be easily neglected. Any hardship could be accepted while
doing service. But as my life in Krishna consciousness is increasing all those experiences remain
nostalgic. My tastes for spiritual activities are decreasing. Those experiences seem to befar difficult to
achieve.
Srila Prabhupada, you are the representative of the original spiritual master - Lord Sri Balarama He gives
detachment to the material world and strength to progress in Krishna Consciousness. I beg unto your
grace, who is His divine representative, to give that necessary strength to overcome the demands of the
senses and thus remain peacefully in Krishna consciousness.
Your divine grace is the true bonafide representative of Lord Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu and the
predecessor acharyas. You have single handedly instituted ISKCON, solely for the purpose of fulfilling
Lord Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu and the acharyas mission. But unfortunately your position as the
Founder- Acharya is being denied and also miss utilized by some people. This pains me a lot. Any
sincere disciple would feel disheartened by hearing how ISKCONs progress has suffered a setback due
to the false guruship. Their entire energy is being spent for increasing their personal empires. Thus, not
only a setback but it also has brought lot of defamy due to irreligious activities performed by them. This
just reminds me the history that unfolded after Lord Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu left this planet. People
took Him to be sentimental and thus came up so with many apasampradayas. People even forgot about
Lord Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhus teaching and even his birth place. But Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur
systematically and successfully established Lord Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhus glories to its topmost
position.
VyasaPuja2011

A similar effort seems to have started now in ISKCON, Bangalore; trying to reestablish your position in
ISKCON. I will definitely support and contribute to this most important effort. Srila Prabhupada, please
give me the strength and spiritual energy for the same.
Praying for revival of my Krishna consciousness and also that I should not to become a victim of maya.

Please accept our respectful obeisances at your lotus feet. By your mercy, one gets the shelter and love of

You will to continue inspiring us to organize big feast, wonderful festivals, distribute books and Krishna

devotional service and in constructing of a beautiful temple for the pleasure of Sri Sri Radha Krishna. If
you so desire, then our dream to built a beautiful temple will become reality.
We have no qualification to render devotional service unto you, but out of your unlimited kindness and

Years back, on this holy day you made your appearance in this dark world. you descended from the
spiritual world with the shining torchlight of knowledge in your hand, the darkness of ignorance fled
before your presence. You are truly the person Bhgavata, uncovering the illusions and misinformation
of the present age by giving authoritative knowledge of the Personality of Godhead.
Anyone could see you were empowered by God. It was evident in everything you did.
No one has ever preached, nor will anyone ever preach, as you have. Who else could have made spiritual
life so practical, relevant, and irresistible? After this many years as your disciple, I am embarrassed at
how little I have served you, I therefore herein vow to intensify my efforts to serve you in a better way.
rla Prabhupda, you left Vndvana to preach in the hellish West. You were determined. You spent
many nights translating books while the world lay asleep. And at an elderly age you traveled worldwide,
tolerating all bodily ailments to spread Ka consciousness, saying, Youve had many lives, so give this
one life to Ka. Contemplating your wonderful personality, I conclude, Here is a Vaikuha man
VyasaPuja2011

endowed with all twenty-six qualities of a Vaiava, a dear most servant of the Supreme Personality of
Godhead.
You once wrote to one of your disciples: When one becomes fixed up in devotional service he never
allows anyone else or any condition at all to hamper his service to Krishna or discourage him in any
way since my devotional creeper is fragile, I seek your support. Once you assured I can kick out all
stumbling blocks immediately, provided you accept my guidance. - Please Srila Prabhupada continue to
guide me.
Srila Prabhupada, two things that you stressed as a preaching tools are Book distribution in West and
Prasadam distribution in India, I did not understand its importance till I experienced personally as
what a powerful tool you have given us. The entire political, bureaucratic, philanthropic, celebrity circles
are backing this program and it looks like your program is going to create food revolution in India. The
critics within the movement have started following by starting similar program in their centers in fact
this has rejuvenated many ailing centers.
Srila Prabhupada, I know I am the most fallen rascal. My only request is please somehow engage me in
some or the other service in your movement. As long as I am associated with your movement I feel my
life is successful.
Your most fallen servant,
Ratnangada Govinda Dasa, President, Hare Krishna Movement, Jaipur
Vyomapada Dasa
Dandavats and Please accept my humble obeisances, all glories unto you
I feel guilty when I am sitting to write this Vyasa puja offering especially because I feel as though I was
not grateful to you for the whole of last year and now that the time has come I am just remembering you
and forcing myself to re-express my fake promises and vows and to redeem and redo my commitment
unto you on your auspicious appearance day in this material world.
Although I claim to be your disciple I know that this will happen only when I accept your mastership
and thats the real challenge I am constantly facing. Sadly many a times I disregard your teachings and
act whimsically. Dear Srila Prabhupada you are so merciful that even without your physical presence you
have made yourself available as the spiritual master yet I am so unfortunate that although youre
available and willing to guide me in every aspect of my life I am not willing to learn and take guidance
from your divine instructions.
Lust, anger, greed, jealousy and every other unmentionable quality pervades me in all aspects of my life
so much so that I am ashamed to represent myself as your disciple.
There are unlimited instances where due to my irritable and impatient nature I have hurt so many
people.
Srila Prabhupada the best offering to you that I can give is to behave as a proper Vaishnava. Your whole
endeavor in life was, rather even in the present tense is to bring about Krishna consciousness in people
and this is possible only when people start following your instructions without any hesitation.
In spite of my unlimited shortcomings and repeated transgressions of ideal Vaishnava behavior. I pray to
you and I shamelessly ask you to shower your mercy on me so that I may continue in my services to you.
In my current service let me overcome all my laziness and lethargy and let me act with determination to
push on your divine preaching mission. Let me always act as a positive influence on my team to motivate
and revitalize them.
I really cannot believe and Im amazed at the commitment that I see from your devotees and disciples.
Even the biggest multinational corporation who would be paying a huge salary to their employees or
VyasaPuja2011

even an army commander from his most motivated soldiers cannot expect or even fathom the degree of
commitment displayed by some of your disciples. I see how totally strange people, who just coming in
contact with you and your teachings within a short span of time develop an unflinching commitment
towards you and your mission. In fact this commitment extends to both their personal and professional
lives. No wonder that sometimes people say that your mission is some kind of a brainwash technique.
Yes as an enlightened and empowered Acharya you are capable to wash of all our dirty brains with the
pure knowledge of Lord Sri Krishna as you are always at his Lotus feet. Your words and teachings are
like the Holy Ganges River which purifies the entire world as it emanates from the lotus feet of the
Supreme Lord Sri Krishna.
Once again I take this opportunity on your auspicious appearance day to pray unto you and to seek your
blessings to perform my devotional duties. Also please guide me and show me the ideal path as your
disciple always.
Your Servant
Vyomapada Das, President, Hare Krishna Movement, Bhilai.
Yudhisthira Krishna Dasa
Please accept my most humble obeisance at the dust of your lotus feet on this auspicious occasion of
your 115
th
appearance day.
Srila Narottama Dasa Thakura explains us the importance of nitya-siddha devotees or maha-bhagavatas
and why they descend to this material world in one of his kirtans:
gaurgera sagi-gae, nitya-siddha kari mne,se yya vrajendra-suta pa
r-gaua-maala-bhmi, yeb jne cintmai tra haya vraja-bhme vsa
One who accepts the associates of Lord Caitanya Mahprabhu as nitya-siddhas is certain to be elevated
to the spiritual kingdom to become an associate of the Supreme Lord. One should also know that Gaua-
maala-bhmithose places in Bengal where r Caitanya Mahprabhu stayedare equal to
Vrajabhmi, or Vndvana. There is no difference between the inhabitants of Vndvana and those of
Gaua-maala-bhmi, or rdhma Mypur.
Commenting on this you have mentioned in one of your lectures that- If one can understand nitya-
siddha bhgavata, then he immediately becomes eligible to go back to home, back to godhead. This is
the privilege of associating with mah-bhgavata. So our system is, .Eva parampar, to associate with
the mah-bhgavata by words or by physical exposition.
Srila Prabhupada you envisioned building a house in which the whole world can live to benefit all the
unfortunate conditioned souls of this most degraded age of Kali-yuga ,to make them eligible to return
back to godhead by giving them an unlimited opportunity to associate with a maha-bhagavata like you
for the next ten thousand years. Now that the technology has advanced to such an extent that one can
have gadgets wherein one can associate with your words(vani) just by a click on the gadget anytime
anywhere. And as stressed by Lord Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, even a moments association with a pure
devotee, one can achieve all perfection. We can just count upon the unlimited causeless mercy the fallen
souls of this age are endowed with by the limitless opportunities you have created by establishing a
worldwide institution of ISKCON where anyone and everyone can come and become your sincere
disciple by following your instructions.
Srila Prabupada you often encouraged all of your disciples to take up the preaching mood as it is very
much conspicuously seen in the parampara. In one of your lectures you have mentioned about what it
means for a disciple to be real advanced - When you become fully Ka conscious by worshiping the
Deity regularly, as we have got prescription to rise early in the morning, offer magala-rati, then
krtana, then class, in this way practicing, practicing. When you become advanced Ka conscious,
VyasaPuja2011

then your natural tendency will be how to preach. Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu Himself, the 6
Goswamis , all the predecessor cryas, in our disciplic succession have very nicely demonstrated this
by their personal example.
Srila Prabhupada, you also gave us the vivid example of the failure of Gaudiya Maths preaching activities
because of the disobedience of the orders by the disciples of Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Goswami
Prabhupada over the acharya successor issue and you gave us the warning to be very careful about this
danger and not to repeat this in our ISKCON camp. Srila Prabhupada you said that they have become
asara or useless because they had no authority, having disobeyed the order of their spiritual master. And
during your prakata-lila you personally showed how by strictly adhering to the orders of your spiritual
master you were successful in preaching activities worldwide. And out of your humility you offered the
success of your movement to your spiritual master and the predecessor acaryas.
But unfortunately the asara or useless people in the garb of devotees-who are disobeying your
instructions - have infiltrated into your movement and want to put hindrance for the glorious preaching
mission you have set up. They were very strongly checked and prevented from increasing their nefarious
attempts during your physical presence. Now they are attempting full swing to destroy the whole
movement. Immediately after your physical disappearance, the system of initiation what you had set up
and what was going on pre-1977 was totally topsy-turvy and the ritviks whom you had appointed to act
on your behalf, became over ambitious and started to imitate as maha-bhagavatas and acharyas. This has
created a lot of havoc within the movement until now and the innocent conditioned souls who sincerely
wanted to come under your shelter were deprived of this great opportunity of association with a maha-
bhagavata.
Now that your sincere devotees of ISKCON Bangalore have taken up the great task of bringing back the
glorious days in ISKCON during your manifest pastimes i.e., to reinstate your position as the only
spiritual master in ISKCON worldwide. Undoubtedly this is a very difficult task in the present scenario,
but we have complete faith in your instructions and dependent on the Lord for His causeless mercy. As
confirmed in the revealed scriptures one who has staunch faith in the words of the spiritual master and
the Supreme Lord, success in spiritual path is guaranteed. (yasya deve para bhaktir yatha deve tatha
gurav.) . Srila Prabhupada in one of your purports you have said- The Ka consciousness
movement is being propagated according to this principle, and therefore our preaching work is going
on successfully, in spite of the many impediments offered by antagonistic demons, because we are
getting positive help from our previous cryas.
I consider myself most fortunate to have come in touch with your sincere disciples of ISKCON
Bangalore, who are sincerely following your instructions word by word and who have been guiding me
all these years in your movement how to sincerely serve you. I only pray to you on this auspicious
occasion that I will keep receiving the guidance from your sincere disciples to carry on my services in
your mission until the last breath of my life and life after life for expanding the preaching activities as
much as possible following your instructions. I also pray that you give all the necessary spiritual strength
and guidance for the task of establishing your true position as the ACHARYA of ISKCON all over the
world, which devotees at ISKCON Bangalore have taken up seriously.
Always aspiring your mercy,
Yudhisthira Krishna Dasa, President, ISKCON - Bellary

Please accept my humble obeisances unto your lotus feet. A father is always merciful to his son and
Krishna being Supreme Father is all merciful. It is because of His mercy only He sends His pure devotee
like you, Srila Prabhupada, to reclaim the fallen souls from this material world. Caitanya Mahaprabhu is
considered to be the most munificent incarnation as He was freely distributing love of Godhead and you
were ordained to fulfill his mission by spreading the glories of His Holy name every town and village.
Accepting you as spiritual master is my greatest fortune as to get a bonafide spiritual in disciplic
succession is very rare. Generally it happens that a disciple chooses his guru but in my case, your
causeless mercy has given this unfortunate soul an opportunity to become your disciple. It is because of
your compassion only that this soul could play a tiny insignificant part in the mission of Lord. Some less
intelligent people claim that a guru should be living. I totally disagree with that, because a spiritual
master gives knowledge about spirit cannot be identified with body which is made of dead matter. Even
you yourself claimed that spiritual master never dies. I believe it because I got my answer from you
whenever I had any doubt even though you were not physically present. One such instance is as follows:
In the past few weeks we had undergone lot of reversals and tensed moments in our organization. So a
feeling of doubt naturally come in my mind. But I came across a purport in Bhagvatam which answered
my question. In the purport your Holiness writes (SB3.16.36 &3.15.37)
Although Hirayakaipu and Hirayka, formerly Jaya and Vijaya, became asuras, the demigods of this
material world could not control them, and therefore Lord Brahm said that neither he nor all the
demigods could counteract the disturbance they created. They came within the material world by the
order of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, and He alone could counteract such disturbances. In other
words, although Jaya and Vijaya assumed the bodies of asuras, they remained more powerful than
anyone, thus proving that the Supreme Personality of Godhead desired to fight because the fighting
spirit is also within Him. He is the original in everything, but when He desires to fight He must fight
with a devotee. Therefore by His desire only were Jaya and Vijaya cursed by the Kumras. The Lord
ordered the gatekeepers to go down to the material world to become His enemies so that He could fight
with them and His fighting desires would be satisfied by the service of His personal devotees.
Brahm showed the demigods that the situation created by the darkness, for which they were disturbed,
was the desire of the Supreme Lord. He wanted to show that even though these two attendants were
coming in the forms of demons, they were very powerful, greater than the demigods, who could not
control them. No one can surpass the acts of the Supreme Lord. The demigods were also advised not to
try to counteract this incident, because it was ordered by the Lord. Similarly, anyone who is ordered by
the Lord to perform some action in this material world, especially preaching His glories, cannot be
counteracted by anyone; the will of the Lord is executed under all circumstances.
When something is arranged by the Supreme Personality of Godhead, one should not be disturbed by it,
even if it appears to be a reverse according to one's calculations. For example, sometimes we see that a
powerful preacher is killed, or sometimes he is put into difficulty, just as Haridsa hkura was. He was
a great devotee who came into this material world to execute the will of the Lord by preaching the Lord's
glories. But Haridsa was punished at the hands of the Kazi by being beaten in twenty-two marketplaces.
Similarly, Lord Jesus Christ was crucified, and Prahlda Mahrja was put through so many tribulations.
The Pavas, who were direct friends of Ka, lost their kingdom, their wife was insulted, and they
had to undergo many severe tribulations. Seeing all these reverses affect devotees, one should not be
disturbed; one should simply understand that in these matters there must be some plan of the Supreme
Personality of Godhead. The Bhgavatam's conclusion is that a devotee is never disturbed by such
VyasaPuja2011

reverses. He accepts even reverse conditions as the grace of the Lord. One who continues to serve the
Lord even in reverse conditions is assured that he will go back to Godhead, back to the Vaikuha
planets. Lord Brahm assured the demigods that there was no use in talking about how the disturbing
situation of darkness was taking place, since the actual fact was that it was ordered by the Supreme Lord.
Brahm knew this because he was a great devotee; it was possible for him to understand the plan of the
Lord.
So presently we may be undergoing so many tribulation but Prabhupadas preaching His glories, cannot
be counteracted by anyone as the will of the Lord will be executed under all circumstances. Prabhupada
it is my humble request to you that please bless me so that I may keep all of your instructions in my
mind and execute my services with full faith and endeavor.

On this Most Auspicious Day of Your Appearance I first of all offer my humble obeisances and I
beg for all the offenses which I have done by not following your command or orders. Also I am very
thankful to you that you have still kept me under your shelter. This reflects the Unlimited Causeless
Mercy which you are showering unto me .
You have saved me from just slipping off from the crag of your Lotus feet. There are so many
times you having saved me but, most of them I have unnoticed or unrecognized it. Just like the story of
a person who was walking with God, saw just a pair of footsteps and he never saw the other pair. He
doubted the Lord and questioned Him that The Lord was not all there when there was lot of difficulties
in his life. Then God Himself replied that during the difficult phases in his life, he could not even walk
that the Lord had to carry him along. Similarly Srila Prabhupada you are saving me each and every time.
Sometimes carrying and sometimes dragging and sometimes pulling but I am so unfortunate that I am
not at all seeing your hand in each and every step of life. I am not all seeing the causeless compassion
you have on me. Causeless again because there is no reason that you are showing mercy and compassion
to me. And I am most unqualified person to get this compassion. Yet, grossly I could see that I was
somehow saved this time also from having the greatest fall. But again, it is so unfortunate that, I forget
the good fortune I am getting which is the association of devotees, wonderful movement, your
transcendental literature, very sublime and peaceful life. Yet I forget all these and hanker for temporary
material pleasures.
In the SB it is mentioned the qualities of the people of Kali Yuga ie.,
mand sumanda-matayo manda-bhgy hy upadrut
In this verse it is mentioned about manda bhagya as most unfortunate. This quality is very much similar
to me. The fortune you have given me is not being properly utilized therefore I am in the category of
manda- bhagya.
Srila Prabhupada, on this auspicious day, I am very sincerely praying that please help me come out of the
anarthas I am having. In the past I have done many mistakes and offenses, please forgive me. I am also
putting lot of efforts not to commit any mistake and offenses but sometimes done by force because of
past nature and sometimes unknowingly. Please forgive me for all these.
Your most fallen Servant,

Please accept my humble obeisance on your divine appearance day.
Dear Srila Prabhupada, I am writing this offering to you on this day, even though I am not mature
enough to glorify you, either materially nor spiritually.
After spending all these years in your movement, I still, easily get carried away by materially motivated
childish thoughts. Most of the time I think myself to be more intelligent and start finding fault in each
every matter which I am not suppose to do. But as a expert Spiritual master, You have constantly kept
guiding me through your disciples. Please guide me to take their guidance in a correct attitude.
One big Unintelligent foolish taught that had aroused in my Childish mind was Why should the ongoing
fight continue in our Organization? And I had the audacity to quote from Your own Bhagvat gita as it
is.
But when I gave a rethought to it, I found few facts:
Arjuna after observing the Battle field declines to fight reasoning not to kill his own family members,
brothers, grandfather, Guru etc.. He even offers to become a mendicant and leave to the forest.
VyasaPuja2011

Now in your teachings you have clearly explained how and why Krishna convinces Arjuna to fight the
battle.
One of the very interesting arguments which strike me is this: Druapadi was lost in the bet by Pandavas.
Duryodhan and party takes opportunity to disrobe her in front of the learned assembly and learned
people like Bhisma and Dhronacharya also did not try to stop the act. Here Krishna's argument to Arjuna
is that, such people who don't mind to insult their own family woman in front of a gathered assembly
and elders who don't even try to stop them, where is the guarantee that these leaders will give protection
to the general mass of people. Hence the battle must be fought at all costs regardless of whom we are
fighting and how we do.
In the same manner when we see bogus gurus cheating their own Spiritual masters instruction, what is
the fate of their disciples, the organization and general mass of people who go to them?
Finally after the battle was over Yudhistira Maharaj goes to Bhismadev for permission to be enthroned as
next king. Here also Bhismadev supports the Pandavas act which was under the Guidance of Lord
Krishna.
Sighting these examples one should conclude in order to reestablish a Pure devotee's Will, his sincere
disciples must take up the battle, even though the Medicine is bitter.
Concluding my offerings to you Prabhupad, all these years you have given me the strength to serve your
grace. Please continue to bless me to render service, chant 16 rounds every day, read-understand your
purports every day, and finally get fed Krishna prasadam everyday.
Thanking you,
Your immature servant,

Dear Beloved Spiritual Master,
Please accept my humble obeisance unto Your Divine Personality. Your ever pleasing & assuring
DIVINE WORDS have been the Umbrella safeguarding me from the torrential rains of ILLUSORY
THOUGHTS & ACTIVITIES.
Oh! Spiritual Master, the war which is ensuing regarding Your Divine Position as the SOLE DIKSHA
GURU OF ISKCON has brought about a stronger and closer relation between You and Your sincere
Disciples. I pray to You to kindly give us the strength to fight till the last breath, so as to feelingly
become responsible disciples of Your Divine Grace in following Your Instructions as our life and soul.
The past one year has been a learning phase of dependency & surrender to You and The Lord. Though
many times Ive been independently trying to act based on the dictations of the Mind and False ego, Your
authority structure of Devotees has been a solace to clarify these dilemmas.
I beg You to bestow Your Causeless Mercy so that I can become attentive to All my Spiritual duties of
Chanting, reading, hearing, serving etc and improve in quality of my progress in Krishna Consciousness
by always being in the association of Your sincere Disciples.
Aspiring to become Your servant,
Prataparudra Dasa.

Dear Prabhupada,
The plans of the Supreme Personality of Godhead are understood by His mercy, and the plans of the
devotees are as good as His plans. One should follow such plans and be victorious in the struggle for
existence. Bg 11.34 purport.
Prabupada, at times even though your plan is very clear it seems that I am perplexed about it, thinking
that why is it happening to me? But later on I realize that you want me to emerge victorious in the
struggle of existence as you mentioned above. Let me constantly follow your plan for attaining the
highest goal of life.
First of all thank you so much that you have kept me in your aureate mission, by training me under the
shelter of Govindadevjis devotees at Jaipur. It is most splendid and unforgettable experience of my
journey to be victorious in the struggle for existence.
And now you have put me at the shelter of devotees of Srinathji and Rancorji at Ahmedabad. We here
have no dearth of things except more full-time soldiers for your business. My only prayer to you is that
Please bestow your causeless mercy upon the souls here who can take up this dynamic preaching work
of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu. And help us identify the souls and give them an opportunity, which will
eventually do it always big for your business of spreading Krishna consciousness.
Prabupada you have said once Unless educated and intelligent people take up this mission seriously,
there is no future for this movement. So Srila Prabhupada, please bestow your causeless mercy upon
these unfortunate souls and upon our preaching centre which is in dearth of more such qualified
soldiers.
And regarding the on going battle with what we call other camp, everyting is in full control of
Chaitanya Mahaprabu and your divine grace. Now only time is separating for your MISSION to take on
the world of nescience and fulfill the prophecy of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu.
Never put me in forgetfulness of my constitutional position. Please forgive me for my offenses
committed at your lotus feet. And constantly supply your nectar of serving your mission under the
guidance of your sincere disciples.
Trying to become your humble servant,
Rasa Parayana Dasa
Raya Rama Dasa
Please accept my humble obeisances un to your lotus feet on the joyous occasion of appearance of your
divine grace.
First of all, I would like to beg forgiveness for all offences committed at your lotus feet and the Vishnu
jana and allow me to eternally remain under your shelter.
You are eternally the sole initiating Acharya of the world wide ISKCON movement. I am eternally
indebted for providing an opportunity to serve your instructions and feel proud of being able to accept
your divine grace as my eternal spiritual master by your causeless mercy in a scenario where your
glorious position is either concealed, not recognized or recognized but not able to practice due to so
called attachment to bogus guru or threat for personal/family maintenance or fear of being expelled from
the movement by so called GBC filled with bogus gurus.
The relationship between the bonafide spiritual master and disciple is eternal. I pray that no one shall
usurp your glorious position at ISKCON Bangalore and its group and bless our humble effort in
maintaining your divine grace here as sole initiating Acharya with success.
VyasaPuja2011

Let my mind, intelligence, body be used only for the pleasure of your divine grace and beg for your
guidance to strictly follow the regulative principles of devotional service. Please bestow me with
devotion at your lotus feet.

Please accept my humble obeisance at your lotus feet. All glories to Your Divine Grace.
Srila Prabhupada, today on this most auspicious occasion we seek your divine blessings for our ultimate
good. Before coming to ISKCON, I had no idea about God and spiritual life, it is your causeless mercy
upon me that such an unworthy candidate like me is able to take up spiritual life.
After coming in touch with ISKCON Bangalore, the most important aspect of spiritual life, to accept a
bonafide Guru is the greatest asset of my life. Now I can see clearly that your divine blessings have been
pouring in my life. In meantime the struggle for establishing your sole position as diksha Guru of
ISKCON has given us more strength to fight for your pleasure. We have full confidence in your divine
instructions, which will make our human form of life successful.
As a part of Hare Krishna Movement, Ahmedabad I seek your kind blessings and protection to render my
services to the movement. Without your mercy it is impossible to conduct day to day activities in
Krishna Consciousness. Association of the devotees and chanting the holy Name of the Lord
offencelessly is most required items for me to sustain.
Dear Prabhupada, I dont have any personal strength to fight against the material modes of nature which
is the cause of constant misery. Simply the pathway shown by you can lead to the ultimate happiness,
but unfortunately I am not satisfied with my effort to follow your instructions, I need more improvement
on this point.
Aspiring to become a sincere and more and more humble follower of your divine mission.

Dear SRILA PRABHUPADA
All glorious unto your mission and please accept my humble obeisance unto you lotus feet. Because the
potency of your feet can attract even the most fallen soul like me and almost inconceivably force me to
serve Ka almost against my will. I was a dog in the street engrossed in trying to satisfy my senses, but
the rays of Your lotus feet has caught my eyes, and now I am trying to drag myself past the flickering
mundane pleasures lined in the road to the dust of Your lotus feet.
PrabhuPada youre the mercy representation of Sri Caitanya Mahprabhu and are very freely distributing
pure love of Ka to everyone all over the world.
In the Caitanya-caritmta it is said:
"By the mercy of the spiritual master who is a pure devotee and by the mercy of Ka, one can achieve
the platform of devotional service. There is no other way." (Madhya 19.151)
Dear SrilaPrabhuPada I beg unto your lotus feet again and again to serve your mission till my last breath.
Servant of SrilaBhakthi Sdanta Sarasvat Gosvm Prabhupada, I offer all obeisances unto You and pray
that I want become an instrument in Your mission. You may do whatever you want with me as You like.
And I beg unto you please protect me from the external{MAHA MAYA} energy of Krishna
VyasaPuja2011

Please protect me from this devil mind.
Please protect me from lusty desires which leads to hell
Please save me from clutches of 4 miseries of life {BIRTH, DEATH,OLDAGE,DEASES}.
I am offering my repeated obeisances at Your sweet lotus feet, which alone, if You were to place them
upon my head, would extinguish forevermore the fire that is blazing in my heart. In my mind I am
keeping this small hope, for without Your causeless mercy, never, never, never, never, will the holy
name be revealed to me.
Your most unworthy servant,

It is your causeless mercy Prabhupada that I am able continue in my spiritual life from last 4 years;
otherwise I am an unworthy disciple of yours with so much contamination both in body and mind. Still
YOU are holding me with YOUR guidance and support. I thank you very much.
ISKCON Bangalore temple and its devotees, their mercy and guidance that I am able to render little bit
service to Sri Sri Radha Krishna Chandra. The perfect following of YOUR bonafide instructions from the
temple disciples and me too following in those footsteps is really a pleasure and I have determined
myself to stick on to the complete process for my whole life time without deviating at any point of time.
I can never forget the tough time that I had for some time and how YOU have brought me out of such an
ugly situation, I thank you so much for that Prabhupada. And I beg and pray to YOU and the LORD not
to put me in such situations in my future so that I can serve YOU and YOUR mission till my last breath,
it doesnt mean that I should not have any obstacles, test me as much as YOU want and please guide me
as well in such situations.
As like any other soul, I am also haunted by lust and such things because of my past anarthas! Of course
I do agree that I am not very sincere in following YOU Prabhupada, but still I beg for that ONE KICK
from YOUR side, so that all these contamination is wiped off and my thoughts can only be filled with
your instructions and that SUPREME PERSON.

So, this life time is in your name Prabhupada and I am surrendered unto YOU, please do not leave me at
any point of time, use me Prabhupada, this is only my prayer and very humble request as well.

When I examine myself, I find nothing of value. Your mercy is therefore essential to me. If you are not
merciful, I will constantly weep, and I will not maintain my life any longer.
All grace to Srila Prabhupad, Hare Krishna.
Your servant

I am not realizing how time is quickly passing under your divine shelter at ISKCON Bangalore. It has
been more than three years staying in brahmachari ashram in the midst of vaishnava community. Now I
can feel that I am one among those fortunate jivas who are full time engaged in your service.
I also feel blessed that you gave me the service of preaching work to the youth. But when I sometimes
think how much fallen I was before coming in touch with your vani, I feel your love for your disciple is
so magnanimous that you mercifully included me also under your loving shelter.
And also sometimes it is becoming very difficult to follow even your basic instructions. I do not know
how many such lives I have wasted in sense gratification until you bestowed me with initial causeless
VyasaPuja2011

mercy. Now that by your mercy I have theoretically understood that constitutional position of every jiva
is to engage in loving devotional service to Sri Sri Radha and Krishna. Still knowingly I am continuing
same thing in this life also. At the core of my heart, out of fear of the reactions of such sinful acts, I
intensely desire to STOP such sense gratification and engage in pure devotional service to Lord Krishna.
So kindly help me to understand more deeply your divine instructions which you very mercifully
delivered in so many lectures, conversations, letters and in your books. Even after committing so many
grievous offences, you have kindly kept me in your shelter. I can imagine your unlimited kind nature to
save the most fallen souls like myself.
You said in one of the purport An uncontrolled mind and an unchaste wife are the same. An unchaste
wife can kill her husband at any time, and an uncontrolled mind, followed by lust, anger, greed,
madness, envy and illusion, can certainly kill the yogi. When the yogi is controlled by the mind, he falls
down into the material condition. One should be very careful of the mind, just as a husband should be
careful of an unchaste wife.
It seems to me that I am losing in the battle against my mind with regards to controlling envy, pride, lust
and greed. I know it is possible to overcome them only by taking full shelter of your lotus feet. Therefore
I pray to you on this most auspicious event of 115th appearance day of Your divine grace on this planet
with the purpose to deliver all of us, to bestow more mercy upon me.
I leant from the below conversation that this is the last rope for us to catch and go back home, back to
godhead. Otherwise people will realize Krishna only in the form of cruel death.
Prabhupda: No. Hare Ka will be finished within ten thousand years. There will be no more Hare
Ka.
Allen Ginsberg: Ah. So what will be left?
Prabhupda: Nothing. Left will be I'll kill you and eat you, and you shall kill me. You shall eat me. That
will be left.
Allen Ginsberg: After ten thousand years?
Prabhupda: Yes. There will be no grain, no milk, no sugar, no fruit. So I have to eat you, and you will
have to eat me. Full facility for meat-eating. (laughter) Full facility. Ka is very kind. He'll give you
facility: "All right. Why cows and calves? You take your own son. Yes. Eat nicely." Just like serpents,
snakes, they eat their own offsprings, tigers. So this will happen.
Allen Ginsberg: Kali eats her own...
Prabhupda: Yes. And there will be no brain to understand, no preacher, nothing else. Go. Go to, to the
dog. And then Ka will come: "All right, let me kill you so that you are saved." So...
Allen Ginsberg: But you see it as actually a historical thing of ten thousand years for the chanting, of the
diminishing chanting of...
Prabhupda: Yes. These are...
Allen Ginsberg: Well, then do you think more people will chant Hare Ka or fewer?
Prabhupda: Oh, yes. More people. Now it will increase.
Allen Ginsberg: Until?
Prabhupda: Up to ten thousand years.
Allen Ginsberg: And then?
Prabhupda: Then diminish.
Allen Ginsberg: So what is the purpose of right now, a world increase...
Prabhupda: People will take advantage of this up to ten thousand years. Then they will...
Allen Ginsberg: So this is like the last rope, the last gasp.
Prabhupda: (laughs) Yes. So the sooner we take to shelter, shelter of Ka consciousness, is better.

Dear rla Prabhupda,
Please accept my most humble obeisance at your lotus feet.
I find myself unqualified to glorify your divine grace with my tiny ability and knowledge, but let me grab
this wonderful opportunity on this auspicious appearance day of your divine grace to purify myself by
making a small attempt to glorify your divine grace - a pure devotee of Lord Krishna.
SRI ISOPANISHAD (MANTRA-9) States
andha tama pravianti ye 'vidym upsate tato bhya iva te tamo ya u vidyym rat
Those who engage in the culture of nescient activities shall enter into the darkest region of ignorance.
Worse still are those engaged in the culture of so-called knowledge.
In the purport Srila Prabhupada, you comment,
Avidy, or ignorance, is undoubtedly dangerous, but vidy, or knowledge, is even more dangerous
when mistaken or misguided. This mantra of r opaniad is more applicable today than at any time in
the past. Modern civilization has advanced considerably in the field of mass education, but the result is
that people are more unhappy than ever before because of the stress placed on material advancement to
the exclusion of the most important part of life, the spiritual aspect.
In the world of cheater and cheated, Srila Prabhupada, you are the only fearless champion of truth
fighting to establish real knowledge. Srila Prabhupada you have tirelessly preached this sublime message
to thousands and thousands of jivas and brought them to light of this divine knowledge and saved them
from being misled by modern education and culture.
Bangalore, known by many as Education city due to its numerous colleges and universities, is witness
to causeless mercy of your divine grace. Thousands of students and working men from all around India
come to Bangalore to be Spiritually slaughtered by so called scientific education and modern culture.
By your mercy Srila prabhupada, FOLK- a transcendental rescue program for providing real spiritual
knowledge to these suffering souls was started several years ago and it has met with an significant
success. We have 11 FOLK hostels nearby major colleges in Bangalore where students and working men
practice spiritual life almost to the temple standards and they also assist in preaching this sublime
message to their community. In a year 2009 Srila Prabhupada you blessed us with 45 new full time
devotees in service of your lotus feet. In addition to the college preaching, organized preaching to
children, teenagers, and congregational members has also been expanding. By your grace Srila
Prabhupada, preaching has expanded to 17 different locations in India other than Bangalore too. Largest
NGO in the world THE AKSHAYA PATRA FOUNDATION is providing prasadam to 13 lakh students
VyasaPuja2011

in 18 different locations in India under your Divine supervision and grace. I was glad to hear your grace
that we are taking your movement to U.S too.
On this auspicious day of your Vysa-pj, I pray at your lotus feet for your mercy so that I may become
instruments of your compassion to keep spreading the message of Godhead.
On this auspicious day of your Vysa-pj, Please also accept our daily prayers Srila prabhupada for
continuing in the service of their Lordship Sri Sri Radha Krishna Chandra, Sri Sri Krishna Balarama, Sri
Sri Nitai Gauranga, Sri Srinivasa Govinda and Sri Prahalada Narasimha as we have been doing from last
12 years by making us victorious in Supreme court judgment.
Aspiring to be your humble servant,
Ananda Krishna Das.

May it reveal to the entire Universe, that you are the only Diksha-Guru in ISKCON Movement. At this
opportune moment, I only pray to your Divine Grace and Sri Sri Radha-Krishna-chandra, Sri Sri Krishna-
Balaram, Sri Sri Nitai-Gauranga, Sri Srinivasa Govinda and Sri Sri Prahlada Narasimha Deva that year
after year we may offer our Vyasa-Puja offerings to your Divine Grace only and may worship you as we
are doing now and every year in a more bigger and bigger way.
Srila Prabhupada, your Divine Grace have saved us from the greatest danger of becoming entangled in
this material world; by giving us the four regulative principles to follow and the best of the weapons like
chanting of the Hare Krishna Maha-mantra, Maha-prasadam, enlivening Kirtans, practical devotional
service, Deity worship and so on
But still, because of the past bad activities, I am accustomed to have bad qualities and I tend to offend
Vaishnavas sometimes and commit sinful actions; please forgive me for all those actions committed and
give the necessary strength to me so that it will not repeat in the future.
My dear Eternal Spiritual Father, your Purports to BG, SB, CC are the only hope for all of us; please give
the intelligence to understand them more deeply and implement it practically, since your Divine Grace is
a manifestation of Chaitya-guru, Super soul. I am unable to read and relish your purports during these
days because of so-many reasons..... Please bless all of us to taste the nectar present in your purports.
Finally, I beg you to kindly keep showering your mercy so that I may always enthusiastically serve your
mission, following always your faithful and loyal servants and the authorities.
Your eternal servant of the servant,
Anantha Kirthi Dasa
Aravinda Lochana Dasa
Please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet. Many years have passed since I dedicated as a
full-time devotee. It is only by your unlimited kindness that I am able to continue rendering service in
your movement. As a representative of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, you were able to infuse the seed of
VyasaPuja2011

Krishna Bhakti in the hearts of millions of conditioned souls simply by your transcendental instructions.
Despite my being totally unqualified, I am extremely fortunate to have come in contact with you through
your books. In the Bhagavad Gita (13.26), there is an important verse which mentions:
anye tv evam ajnanta, rutvnyebhya upsate te 'pi ctitaranty eva, mtyu ruti-parya
Again there are those who, although not conversant in spiritual knowledge, begin to worship the
Supreme Person upon hearing about Him from others. Because of their tendency to hear from
authorities, they also transcend the path of birth and death.
Somehow I developed faith in your instructions and also started relishing your vani. Your books had
given me the initial push to seriously pursue Krishna consciousness. As the Chaitanya Charitamrta states
This bhakti-lat-bja is received from the spiritual master by the grace of Ka. Along with this bhakti
creeper some unnecessary creepers also grow. If we are not careful, we may be nourishing these
unnecessary weeds instead of the bhakti-lat-bja and hence the growth of our devotional creeper may
get hampered. Sometimes these weeds become so big and dangerous that in order to satisfy these weeds,
one may even dare offend his own beloved Spiritual master. This has happened to the bogus gurus in
ISKCON. These weeds have become so destructive that these fake gurus commit offenses to Your Divine
Grace and also to anyone who supports the cause of Your position as the sole Diksha Guru in ISKCON.
Unfortunately spreading Your message of Krishna consciousness with Yourself as the only initiating
Guru in ISKCON has become extremely difficult. A big battle almost on the lines with the battle of
Kurukshetra is being fought against the false gurus.
In the Bhagavad Gita, it is mentioned thus:
Jayas tu pu-putr ye pake janrdana. Victory is always with persons like the sons of
Pu because Lord Ka is associated with them. And whenever and wherever the Lord is present, the
goddess of fortune is also there because the goddess of fortune never lives alone without her husband.
Therefore, victory and fortune were awaiting Arjuna, as indicated by the transcendental sound produced
by the conchshell of Viu, or Lord Ka.
We are confident of winning this battle because You are by our side which means Lord Krishna and the
Goddess of Fortune are also by our side.
Since Maya is very strong, if a devotee is not careful, he can become a victim of different weeds and
totally forget the purpose for which he had joined ISKCON. Sometimes he even goes to the extent of
committing offenses to his own spiritual master from whom he had received transcendental knowledge.
In conclusion I simply pray that you always protect me from falling down to such allurements of Maya
and give me the strength to follow the rules of Bhakti yoga. I also strongly desire that the devotees
fighting for your cause win the battle and you will be recognized as the sole Diksha Guru not only in
ISKCON, but as the Jagad Guru or Guru for all living entities in the Universe.

Let me offer my humblest of obeisances at your lotus feet which are the shelter for all the people of the
three worlds whom you have so kindly accepted. Please I beg from you to remove the oblivion which
has blinded me, and has implicated me to so many mental tribulations.
I pray to you Let this anarthas and contamination not affect my services which is an undeserved
opportunity I have got to serve your great mission. You are the savior of the whole world at this point
of my life filthy mental concoctions have over-ridded me please always keep me stepped in proper
conscience. Giving me the strength to follow four regulative principles making me fit to practice Krishna
consciousness
Lord Sri Rama showed his mercy by engaging few monkeys in his service although the service they
rendered was insignificant, Lords blessing made their life glorious. Similarly please bless me to be a
small instrument in your movement.
Even though I have committed many offences in the past and I am still committing offenses but still you
are very merciful upon me, blessing me with more opportunities to serve Your Movement.
Most Fallen Soul,

Chitra Devi Dasi
Pujya Gurudev Srila Prabhupad,
Please accept my humble obeisance on this auspicious occasion of Vyasa puja.
You are the most powerful acharya who is spreading Gaura Karuna, the mercy of Sri Chaitanya
Mahaprabhu, to the fallen people of Kaliyuga. Please bless me with enough intelligence to understand
your supreme benevolence and act with apt gratitude.
You have said that by preaching Krsna consciousness to the masses we can please you. Our humble
effort in the form of Krsna Ashraya program to preach Krsna consciousness has taken a flight only by
your causeless mercy.
mukam karoti vacalam pangum langhayate girim
yat-krpa tam aham vande sri-gurum dina-taranam
By the mercy of the guru, even a dumb man can become the greatest orator, and even a lame man can
cross mountains. (Madhya 17.80)
This verse from Caitanya caritamrta has very much come true in my life. Today through Krishna
Ashraya program I am preaching Krsna Consciousness in local language to many. This is all because of
your mercy. Prabhupad please save me from Maya. While preaching lording tendency may dominate the
preaching spirit. Please help me to be always humble. I thank you for blessing me with many other
services also in the temple and a life of temple devotee.
Please bless me to continue serving you year after year, more and more. In one lecture you have said that
if one follows the Guru one can return to Goloka Vrndavan and see Lord Krishna face to face in this very
life. Please bless me to become that fortunate disciple.
Your eternal servant, the most fallen,

ALL GLORIES UNTO YOU OUR DEAR SRILA PRABHUPADA
On this auspicious day of r Vysa-pj-tithi, I Beg to offer my most humble obeisances at the divine
lotus feet of my eternal spiritual master and my eternal spiritual father and guide, O Vishnupada
Parmahmsa Parivrajakcrya Aottra-ata r rmad Abhay Charanaravinda Bhaktivednta Swami
Prabhupada, who is the spiritual master of enter world and founder-crya of the International Society
for Krishna Consciousness and the Bhaktivednta Book Trust.
PRABHUPADA 115 years ago you appeared in this world in 1896 in Calcutta, India. On this most
auspicious day know as nandottasva, we are celebrating your115th divine appearance day know as r
Vysa-pj-tithi, rla Prabhupda as you said "The spiritual master lives forever by his divine
instructions, and the follower lives with him." you are living with us you will continue to live with us.
You taught us what is the importance of offering homage to spiritual master by his disciples on r
Vysa-pj-tithi day , as you explained in one of your Lectures that: Guru is the representative of God.
Therefore the stra says, the authority says, skd-dharitvena samasta-strair. Guru is as good as God.
Today, on this Vysa-pj day, we are teaching or they are doing, offering respect to guru. That means
they are learning how to offer respect to God. It is not personal affair; it is required. Because they are
trying to be God conscious, they must learn how to offer respect to God or God's representative. That is
required. Skd-dharitvena samasta-strair. In all the stra, Vedic literature, guru is described as good
as God. (What is a Guru? London, August 22, 1973). To practice bhakti-yoga rla Rpa Gosvm,
advises: in his Bhakti-rasmta-sindhu, (1.2.74-75)
guru-pdrayas tasmt ka-dkdi-ikaam
virambhea guro sev sdhu-vartmnuvartanam
sad-dharma-pcch bhogdi-tyga kasya hetave
One's first duty is to accept a bona fide spiritual master. The student or disciple should be very
inquisitive; he should be eager to know the complete truth about eternal religion (santana-dharma).
The words guru-uray mean that one should personally serve the spiritual master by giving him
bodily comforts, helping him in bathing, dressing, sleeping, eating and so on. This is called guru-
uraam. A disciple should serve the spiritual master as a menial servant, and whatever he has in his
possession should be dedicated to the spiritual master. prair arthair dhiy vc. Everyone has his life,
his wealth, his intelligence and his words, and all of them should be offered to the Supreme Personality
of Godhead through the via medium of the spiritual master. Everything should be offered to the spiritual
master not as a matter of duty, but the offering should be made to the spiritual master with heart and
soul, not artificially to gain material prestige. This offering is called arpaa. Moreover, one should live
under the shelter of spiritual master to advance in spiritual life and learn the etiquette and proper
behavior of devotional service. rla Vivantha Cakravart hkura remarks in this connection that
whatever is offered to the spiritual master service and prayers should be offered with love and affection,
not for material adoration. SB (7.7.31-32) ''again I am offering my respectful obeisances unto you srila
prabhupada by whose mercy a dumb man can become a great speaker and a lame man can cross over a
mountain, and who thus delivers all fallen souls towards go back to home back to godhead who is
purifier of all fallen souls. "O Lord and I submit this prayer at your lotus feet: That unmotivated
devotion to you may constantly awaken in my heart. As much attachment as I have now for worldly
affairs, I pray that a similar degree of attachment may develop for your holy feet. O beloved spiritual
master, you are always in the presence of the cowherd girl Rdh, the daughter of King Vabhnu.
Please award me service at your lotus feet, which are the proprietors of devotional service. Please place
me in the ocean of joy by bestowing upon me happiness in the mellows of service at the lotus feet of r
Rdh in the groves of Vraja-dhma. the fruit of the highest bliss-the bliss of love of Godhead who
bestows bliss upon the land of Vraja.
VyasaPuja2011

I pray that my devotion for you may remain undisturbed in any condition of life both in misfortune and
fortune, and that day after day it may increase by the power of your influence making me to always
engaged in your lotus feet, may devotion to you always remain within my heart. As you mentioned if the
spiritual master is considered an ordinary man, the disciple surely loses his chance to advance further.
Despite a very rigid life in devotional service, As soon as a foolish disciple tries to overtake his spiritual
master and becomes ambitious to occupy his post, he immediately falls down, if we wont consult you to
advance in spiritual life then consequently we strongly being attached to sense gratification, and
forgetting our spiritual routine, fall down from spiritual life. If one always follows the orders of the
spiritual master, there is no question of falling down.
We are glad to you prabhupada, with your usual kindness, saved us from this horrible type of
degradation, and therefore I bow down at your lotus feet with all humility. Prabhupada although we are
like ignorant children in the knowledge of the Transcendence, still you kindled a small fire within us to
dissipate the invincible darkness of empirical knowledge. Prabhupada if you had not appeared before us
to deliver us from the thralldom of this gross worldly delusion, surely we should have remained for lives
and ages in the darkness of helpless captivity. Had you not appeared before us, we would not have been
able to understand the eternal truth of the sublime teaching of Lord Caitanya. Had you not appeared
before us, we could not have been able to know the significance of Ka, who is known as Govinda, the
Supreme Godhead. He has an eternal, blissful, spiritual body. He is the origin of all. He has no other
origin, and He is the prime cause of all causes." [Bs.5.1] although we are imperfect, by your grace we
have been enabled by you to understand the sublime messages, we must admit that we have realized
definitely that the divine message from your holy lips is the congenial thing for suffering humanity. If we
listen to your transcendental sound without opposition you will surely have mercy upon us Your
Message will take us back to our original home, back to God. Let me bow down at your lotus feet to get
your causeless mercy upon us for releasing us from our present unwillingness for serving the Absolute
truth the supreme personality of godhead Sri Krishna.
You appeared to teach us .like me, and all others. prabhupada you are empowered by the direct potency
of Lord Ka to fulfill His desire and you are being specifically favored by the Lord, Only an empowered
personality like you can distribute the holy name of the Lord and enjoin all fallen souls to worship
Ka. By distributing the holy name of the Lord, you are cleansing the hearts of the most fallen souls
like me; by broadcasting the shining brightness of Kas effulgence throughout the world. You
extinguish the blazing fire of the material world. Prabhupada Personally I have no hope for any direct
service for the coming crores of births of the sojourn of my life, but I am confident that some day or
other I shall be delivered from this mire of delusion in which I am at present so deeply sunk. Make me
with all my earnestness pray at your lotus feet please allow me to be as your obedient servant, but to let
me have this power of recollection: that I am nothing but a tiny servant of the Almighty Absolute
Godhead, realized through the unflinching mercy of my divine master. Let me therefore bow down at
your lotus feet with all the humility at my command make me always be engaged in your devotional
service which is the abode of devotional service.
O Lord! This is my humble submission at your lotus feet. Please make me not to commit any kind
offenses not to desire any kind of sensual pleasure, learning, wealth, or followers. Begging for residence
on the celestial planets, nor wish liberation from this mundane existence. Nor pray for the attainment of
any mystic powers. Please teach me only how to love Krishna through following your directions, I pray
that I may sing the glories of your holy name and execute your instructions birth after birth. Please give
me shelter in your lotus feet and make me follow all your instructions without committing any offenses.
Always being engaged in devotional service under your direction, by constant associating with you by
reading your books attending all temple programs morning to evening like mangala arati attending
bhagavatam class, chanting sixteen rounds every day on beads, and following four regulative principles
and always engaged in service of their lordship sri sri radha krishnachandra, sri sri Krishna balarama, sri

My worshipable Srila Prabhupada,
Kindly accept my unworthy obeisances at your lotus feet, the dust of which can purify the entire world.
Sriman Mahaprabhu told Srila Rupa Goswami that
brahma bhramite kona bhgyavn jva guru-ka-prasde pya bhakti-lat-bja
According to their karma, all living entities are wandering throughout the entire universe. Out of many
millions of wandering living entities, one who is very fortunate gets an opportunity to associate with a bona
fide spiritual master by the grace of Ka. By the mercy of both Ka and the spiritual master, such a person
receives the seed of the creeper of devotional service. I am such a fortunate jiva on whom Your Divine
Grace showered your causeless mercy.
Through out my expeditions in search of spiritual light I came across many personalities, organizations,
literatures, holy places, temples, rituals etc. But I remained confused & answerless for many years.
Material miseries stared on my face showing its appalling features. Obviously I could hear a clear inner
voice telling me that your path is not this abominable material life. You should take up the path of
Sanathana Dharma & become instrument in the hands of the Lord. I tried worshiping Krishna by
chanting the Mahamantra, Sahasranama, offering him incense & flowers, & visiting His temples.I prayed
to Him, My lord I dont know what is good & bad for me. I dont know what to do & what not to do. But I am
strongly feeling that I have to follow your path & serve you. But I dont know how. Please guide me & help
me.
Because of His sweet will Krishna blessed me with the transcendental v of Your Divine Grace in the
form of a small book, Transcendental Teachings of Prahlda Mahrja. Gradually the mercy of Your
Divine Graces transcendental outpourings started coming to me one by one in the form of various
books. But because of Myvdc contamination which was the result of my prolonged association with
advaitic & pseudo spiritual literatures & persons, it took time for my mind & intelligence to perceive
the real glory of your words which are eternally true, supremely pure & full of compassion towards all.
This imbalance in my expedition continued till Your Divine Grace brought me under the protective
shade of your unshakable Vyasasana beautifully placed on top of Hare Krishna Hill, Bangalore. I saw that
this Vyasasana was properly worshiped & adored by your sincere disciples who understood the purpose
of your incarnation in this material world, who truly realized Guru Tattva. It is impossible for me to
verbally express my gratitude towards you or to repay you for what you have given me.
But I pray-
Please give sufficient strength & protection to Madhu Pandit Prabhu, all my authorities & god brothers
in expertly defeating all the abominable & cowardly attacks by men who aim at usurping your position
as sole Diksha-Guru Of ISKCON.
Please never allow the bogus gurus to disturb your seat in Radha Krishna Chandra Temple & its
affiliated centers.
Please make me humble & tolerant.
Please forgive my offenses against you & other Vaishnavas. I am sorry for It.
Please keep me as your servant for ever & never forsake me.
VyasaPuja2011

Please give me proper attitude, strength & intelligence to execute more & more service at your lotus
feet.
Please establish your true glory as the empowered Senapati Bhakta of Sriman Mahaprabhu, as the only
initiating Spiritual Master in ISKCON. This will deliver the whole world.
Let my mind be always fixed at your lotus feet. I take shelter of your Lotus feet.

"I was blinded by the darkness of ignorance, but my Spiritual Master opened my eyes with the torchlight
of knowledge. I offer my respectful obeisances unto him."
"I offer my respectful obeisances unto His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupda, who is
very dear to Lord Ka, having taken shelter at His Lotus Feet."
"My respectful obeisances are unto You, O servant of Sarasvat Gosvm. You are kindly preaching the
message of Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu and delivering the Western countries, which are filled with
impersonalism and voidism."
Just as worship of the Ganges cannot be properly performed without first obtaining Gag-jala, so
glorification of the Spiritual Master cannot be successful without first obtaining His mercy. That is why,
falling down at the Lotus Feet of my Eternal Lord and Master, Om Viupda Paramahasa
Parivrjakcrya 108 r rmad A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupda, I humbly offer him my most
respectful obeisances and pray that He will kindly fulfill my desire to glorify Him.
Dear rla Prabhupda, I can understand that without Your Divine Graces mercy I would have no
standing whatsoever and would be totally worthless in all respects. I am eternally indebted to Your
Divine Grace and see no possible way of ever repaying the unlimited debt I owe You. Still, I see no other
way than trying with whatever strength I can muster to serve You as much as I possibly can to contribute
something against this incalculable debt I owe Your Divine Grace. Yet with every passing moment Your
Divine Grace increases my indebtedness by continuing to allow me to serve You. I can only pray again
and again that I may never be separated even for a moment from serving Your Lotus Feet. You bring
about the remembrance of Ka because You are always thinking of Ka. You are the boat that carries
us across the ocean of this material existence. You are the source of strength that will keep us pure. So
on Your auspicious appearance day, I want to beg You to grant me the boon that I may get attached to
Your Lotus Feet. This attachment by far exceeds and in fact includes all other boons. To love You, rla
Prabhupda, means to serve You by following Your instructions. We should only focus on Your desires
and make them our life and soul. We should never doubt Your words or misinterpret Your words. We
should know without any doubt that there can be no happiness in this world without full surrender to
You and to Lord Ka.
rla Prabhupda, I am completely dependent upon Your mercy to have the strength, intelligence, and
determination to stay on this path of devotional service.
VyasaPuja2011

rla Prabhupda, You are the savior of the fallen souls. I am very grateful that despite my health
problems last two years my sadhana was very weak and still by Your causeless mercy I am able to do
service in your institution.
Dear Srila Prabhupada I have no other shelter than You.
Thank you,
Your servant of the servant.

Hare Krishna Srila Prabhupada!
I am very proud today to say to the whole world that I am disciple of Your Divine Grace. In fact, really I
am not eligible for this position as your disciple.
I have no qualification to come out of material life, but Prabhupada, by Your grace blazing fire of
material existence is getting extinguished!
I have no qualification to utter the Holy name of the Lord, but Prabhupada, by Your grace I am living
with it today!
I have no qualification to worship deity in the temple, but Prabhupada, by Your grace You are engaging
me in the worship of deities!
I have no qualification to recognize what is Krishna Prasadam, but Prabhupada, by Your grace today I
am satisfied by taking only Bhagavat-Prasada!
I have no qualification to understand the highest philosophy of Sri Sri Radha-Krishna worship, but
Prabhupada, by Your grace I surpassed all false philosophies!
I have no qualification to act as servant of Supreme personality of Godhead, but Prabhupada, by Your
grace you are breaking my false ego and engaging me in devotional service!
I have no qualification to get a spiritual master like you who is as good as God, but Prabhupada, You
mercifully blessed me!
I have no qualification to speak about Lord Krishna, but Prabhupada, by Your grace today I am able to
speak on Your behalf and get the benediction of Krishna to carry out His service!

Srila Prabhupada, after saving me from many so called spiritual paths You are engaging me in most
joyful devotional service, but I am so contaminated and sinful that I am still unable to serve You better.
My hope of serving in Your army can sustain only by Your causeless mercy. So I beg Your mercy to give
me sufficient strength to render service throughout my life joyfully.
Prabhupada, today You are giving me lot of opportunity to serve You and Your transcendental mission. I
never thought in my life till now, that such a great opportunity would come! It is beyond my Karma and
all Jnana, Bala and Kriya is supplied by you. I beg You that do not make me proud of anything whatever
You are making me to achieve as an instrument.
Prabhupada, as Your disciple I want to see that Your glory is spreading all over the three worlds. Now we
are in the junction of proving Yourself as spiritual master of this entire world, kindly bless our
authorities who are sincerely trying to establish Your position back in ISKCON. I am very clear that we
all are instruments in Your hand, still as an aspiring servant I would like to see masters glory as soon as
possible.
Your wannabe servant,

My Dear Eternal well wisher Srila Prabhupada,
I offer my respectful and humble obeiasance unto your lotus feet. Prabhupada, you have sacrificed
everything for Krsna. You have received Lord Caitanya's blessings to spread the holy name of Krishna all
over this material world.
It is my great fortune to be part of your movement. You are a true, sincere and confidential servitor of
Lord Krsna. Your books are amazing. Your purports gives access to the confidential meaning of spiritual
science. Just like in the prescence of sun everything becomes visible in this world, your purports also
make the confidential meanings of the scriptures clear for a sincere soul. Everything about your
movement is sublime: Chanting, Deity worship, Festivals, Prasadam, Wonderful devotees and Fully
engaging services. I am always indebted to you Srila Prabhupada for this.
I was really like Maya's dog loitering in this world and kicked left and right by many wicked and miserly
masters. But now, you have mercifuly dragged me into your divine house and saved me from being
exploited by Maya's agents. I was dancing like a puppet in Maya's hands. But the result of dancing
according to Maya's dictates was repeated suffering in this material world. Now let me become a puppet
in your hands for your pleasure. You are really my saviour, there is no doubt about it. you Srila
Prabhupada for accepting me as one of your disciples.
Just like a baby being attracted to fire, touches it, and burns its hands, similarly I am a baby in Krsna
conciousness and easily get attracted to Maya's allurements. Just like a mother give special care to her
baby, please give me your special care and save me from Maya's attractions.
Please bestow your causless mercy on this fallen soul so that I can follow the instructions of your sincere
disciples to push on this movement. Let me always try my level best to hear, understand, and implement
your divine instructions.
Srila Prabhupada, You are the ONLY HOPE !!! save us from Maya. It is my desire to remain always
under your shelter.
Yours Eternal Servant,

Please accept my humble obeisances at Your lotus feet. I am extremely fortunate to have come in contact
with ISKCON which has brought about great changes in my life for which I am very thankful to You.
With Your uncompromising teachings, Srila Prabhupada, You have made so many, including myself, to
realize the goal of life which is to serve Lord Krishna.
You have started this movement specifically to preach Krishna consciousness and bring all conditioned
souls under the shelter of Lord Krishna. I, being very limited, do not have any capacity on my own to
preach to others. Still, if You desire I will be able to do anything for Your pleasure as it is stated in the
scriptures:

VyasaPuja2011

By Your causeless mercy, I am given this opportunity to serve in Your movement where You are accepted
as the sole Diksha Guru. But I am not fully utilizing the wonderful chance given by You. Instead my
sadhana is very poor. Kindly help me overcome my shortcomings so that I can do my sadhana very well.
Maya is so powerful that it can very easily deviate a devotee from Lord Krishnas service. I pray that you
always protect me from this falldown and keep me at Your Lotus Feet life after life.
Your servant
Jahnavi Devi Dasi
Kalakanta Dasa
Please accept my humble obeisances unto your lotus feet. All glories to you.
I consider myself to be the most fortunate to be a disciple of your Divine Grace, especially in todays
situation where in there are over 80 Gurus who claim to be your successors and are cheating innocent
public. You have descended from Goloka Vrindavan, the supreme abode of Lord Krishna, to this
material world, just to reclaim fallen conditioned souls like myself.
I was born in the darkest of ignorance and until you had bestowed your mercy upon me, I was running
on the royal road to hell. You who are known as friend of the fallen and ocean of mercy have very
kindly opened my darkened eyes with the torch of knowledge, unto your lotus feet, I offer my
obeisances again and again.
Today it's disturbing to note how your legitimate movement and beloved disciples are being harassed by
the followers of the opportunistic self proclaimed Gurus. They claim to be Vaishnavas but actually
they are the greatest offenders. Gurudev, if you so desire, let this battle within ISKCON come to an end
once for all in the near future, and may your majestic self be reinstated as the only Diksha Guru in
ISKCON all over the world.
The Krishna consciousness movement you have started in the footsteps of previous acaryas is the only
saving grace for humanity. These temples you have started are like oasis in desert, for they afford seven
star facilities to practice Devotional Service.
Kindly bestow your mercy Srila Prabhupada so that I may always be engaged in the service of your
servants with all humility and sincerity. May I never give up the association of your devotees life after
life. May I never commit offences at the feet of vaishnavas and the holy name. May I always remember
that without your causeless mercy and blessings nothing is possible.

I offer my respectful obeisances unto you. Two years ago, I was struggling outside making future plans
but now, I am engaged in service of Lord Sri Krsna in the association of devotees without any struggle
for existence. If I look back, I can find that this is possible only because of causeless mercy of you and
Krsna. Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu has said that even by a moments association with a pure devotee, one
can achieve all perfection. Without your mercy there is no way that conditioned souls like me can chant
holy name and render service to Lord Krsna. It is only possible by your divine grace to convert hippies
VyasaPuja2011

into devotees. You are ever well wisher of all living entities. You are sum total of all demigods, even
demigods seek association of a pure devotee like you. Attachment to your lotus feet is best way to make
spiritual advancement.
Chaitanya Mahaprabhu says:
trnd api sunicena, taror api sahishun, amnin mnadena, kirtaniyah sad harih.Cc. di 17.31
"One can chant the holy name of the Lord in a humble state of mind, thinking himself lower than the
straw in the street. One should be more tolerant than the tree, devoid of all sense of false prestige and
ready to offer all respects to others. In such a state of mind one can chant the holy name of the Lord
constantly." (Sikshashtaka 3)
I pray to you to make me sincere in following and realizing this instruction. I pray to you to make me
submissive in hearing about Krishna from you, understand and realize the essence of your teachings
with humble attitude. I request you to involve more with me, chastise and correct me when I make
mistakes, teach me humility, teach me how to behave with others, give me determination to follow your
instructions sincerely, give me ability to always glorify transcendental pastimes of you and Lord Sri
Krsna.
Aspiring to be your eternal servant,

Let me offer my humble obediences unto you again and again on your divine appearance day.
Before a decade if somebody had told me that after some time you will leave your family, education ,
career etc..., to live a life according to the instruction of a person who is not even physically present, I
would have laughed at him. But now when I look back, I can see how miracles can happen even in the
life of a person who is completely under the control of maya (guna, kala and karma) by simply coming
in touch with a pure devotee like you.
My beloved eternal father! Srila Prabhupada! I was thinking that Lord Krishna is also like innumerable
demigods in this world. It was in the year 2000, that I got the opportunity to read the most nectarine
book Krishna-The Supreme Personality of Godhead in which you have very beautifully described the
unique supreme position of Krishna. You have clearly explained that Krishna is all attractive, Supreme
Personality of Godhead, having six opulences in full. I was amazed to know this fact about Krishna and
read the entire book. But somehow or other I was still immersed in material engagements.
In 2004 December again you showered your mercy upon me. My brother had got a pass to attend Yoga
Retreat program organized by ISKCON Bangalore. He wanted me to attend this program, but I was not
willing to attend. Still he dragged. me. By attending this program I understood that before performing
any action we should not ask What I have to do?, rather we should ask Why I have to do it? What
permanent benefit will I get from it?Soon I started asking this question to the people around me.
Nobody were able to give proper reply to these question, they tried to avoid me, many of them rejected
me. In the Yoga retreat program they told me to follow sadhana for 21 days, but I could not follow that
schedule. But my eagerness to know about how to work to get permanent benefit was increasing day by
day.
In 2008 I purchased Bhagavad Gita As It Is written by your divine grace and tried to understand the
subject myself. But it was difficult for me to understand. Later on when I had faced some material
problems I followed the 21 day sadhana schedule that was given in yoga retreat program. After
following the 21 days schedule I found some changes in my life but I was unable to recognize your hand
behind all these things. By this time I was completely puzzled about the goal of my life. In 2009 April
again Your Divine Grace showered Your mercy by allowing me to attend a similar session which I had
VyasaPuja2011

attended five years ago. There I completely understood that what I was looking for is already with you
and you are distributing it freely for everyone. It took sixteen months more to receive the benediction of
your shelter as menial servant at your lotus feet.
Since from that time Your Divine grace have guided this mudha / rascal in many many ways which is
beyond my conception. On this most auspicious day of Your Divine Grace's appearance I beg forgiveness
from your divine grace all vaishnavas for my countless offenses committed at their feet. I also beg at your
lotus feet that you please continue to shower more and more mercy on me, although I do not deserve to
receive such mercy. Without your mercy I do not see any other hope. Finally I beg from Your Divine
Grace that please give the Single pointed attention and inner strength and protection to follow your
instruction in toto so that I can execute your will as you desired
Aspiring to be your sincere servant,

Krishna Sakha Dasa
Please accept my humble obeisances at Your Lotus Feet.
It is said that out of so many wandering living entites in this material world only a few fortunate souls
come in touch with a bonafide Spiritual Master. And You said in one lecture That is our Ka
consciousness movement. Even there is..., there is no taste for Vsudeva-kath-ruci, still, our process is
so nice that we create the taste. Nobody was interested in Ka consciousness, but there are thousand
now. How? Because we are trying or we have created the taste, by this process. One may ask what is
that extra ordinary process which can create the taste for Ka consciousness even in demons? You said
Now how this taste is created, that is also explained in the next line. Syn mahat-sevay. Mahat-sevay.
Mahat means... I have already explained. A devotee, pure devotee, whose..., who has no other business
than to serve Ka, he is called Mahat. So one has to engage himself in the service of the Pure Devotee.
So, it is my great fortune to have come to the Ka consciousness movement though my tendencies
were demoniac.
It is also Your causeless mercy to institutionalize this process of serving the Pure Devotee (Your Divine
Grace) for all the members of the ISKCON movement. You have prescribed this principle in all the
centres by activities beginning from morning Samsara dava-nala song, chanting Hare Ka-16 rounds,
Guru Puja, hearing Srimad-Bhagavatam(your Bhaktivedanta Purports), sankirtan, following 4 regulative
principles and many more. In other words each and every devotee in ISKCON has to adhere to Your
instructions in every step of his life, which means we have to serve Your vani. No one in this institution
has the right to change the process that You have prescribed. In another lecture you reveal that
Following the order of the bona fide Spiritual Master is the only duty of the disciple, and this complete
faithful execution of the order of the bona fide Spiritual Master is the secret of success.
But it is unfortunate that after Your physical manifest lila Your own unqualified disciples have rubber-
stamped themselves as the pure devotees. This has led to the greatest hoax by misguiding a devotee to
serve an unqualified person as good as God. Because the principle of serving the pure devotee is
misdirected, it has led to choas both for the so-called disciple and the so-called Spiritual Master. The
situation is so degraded that the ISKCON law has even changed the eternal principle that the disciple
cannot perform his guru-puja in the temple. He has to privately worship the guru in his room and
picture of the guru should not be placed in the altar. So, goes on the ISKCON law that the disciple of
the fallen guru should take re-initiation from another rubber-stamp guru.
And it is even more unfortunate that devotees in ISKCON Bangalore who try to establish your worship
in ISKCON as the summum bonum are considered to be apa-siddhanta. If we scrutinizingly see the
activities of the Bangalore temple, what are we doing wrong? We only want to keep You in the center
VyasaPuja2011

and execute the orders You have mentioned. We dont want to worship the bogus rubber-stamp gurus
and we want to follow the orders of Your Divine Grace.
Please make me an insignificant instrument in the mission of Your Divine Grace and help me be always
loyal to Your instructions.

divine appearance.

My humblest prayers to Sri Guru Srila Prabhupada, who has the sat-cid-ananda form, you are a resident

Srila Prabhupada, all these years you have trained me physically to fit into the spiritual camp, but now
you are training me mentally, as well as spiritually as a ceaseless candidate and thus preparing me to stay
fit for Lords use, which is actually my intended purpose.
Spiritual potter:
Srila Prabhupada, you picked me from the swamp of this material world as raw red clay and mixed it
with the sand of godly association. You rolled and pounded me in the company of devotees and then you
put me on a spinning wheel called sadhana. To suit your plan you spinned me on the wheel of time,
shaped me with your divine compassionate hands and now you have placed me in an oven where I am
feeling hotter than hell. But by your grace I have full confidence and conviction that you will shape me
into a person who will fit into the plan the Lord has for this creation. And this final process which is so
painful will also pass off, I simply have to wait for your call and be ready to be used by Krishna. You
know that my strength in executing my real activity are brittle, and so being kind you are strengthening
my thoughts, beliefs and actions by putting me through challenging situations and making me strong to
suit the will of the Lord. You have taken so much hardship to shape me, just so that I should not crack
and break apart from my intended purpose. I am eternally indebted to your Divine Grace for all your
care and concern for me. As you had said - One who continues to serve the Lord even in reverse
conditions is assured that he will go back to Godhead, back to the Vaikuha planets, The Bhgavatam's
conclusion is that a devotee is never disturbed by such reverses. He accepts even reverse conditions as
the grace of the Lord - your words are indeed true. Thank you my dear spiritual father.
GURU means one who explains the GUna (attribute) and the RUpa (form) of our Supreme Personality of
Godhead, Sri Krishna, but actually you gave us more than what the Vedas could give. You gave us the
Ruchi (taste) of Krishna Prasada, you gave us the gandha (flavor) of the supreme and absolute
philosophy, the sparsha (touch) of devotees association and finally the sabdha (sound) of the holy name
directly coming from the transcendental world.
Srila prabhupada, I came across one scripture which quoted, there may be as many number of gurus as
there are uncountable hairs on our body but there will be only one Acharya. Acharya sreshto
gurunam Among gurus acharyas is absolute -Gauthama in Dharma suthras.
Likewise you are the one and only one Acharya who can dispel our delusion just by your compassionate
glance upon us. Interestingly, I came across another verse from the Vedas which said there are many
gurus who purify the people by their touch known as "Sparsamathra Gurus", and still there are few
gurus who by their words purify the society known as kathanamathra Gurus furthermore there is only
one who can purify our material existence just by his compassionate look celebrated as Drushti Maatra
guru.
Acharya drushtya mushitha nikhila mohah mukdhaarsana matrena kampathe patakam dhruvam||
Even the greatest sinner who can commit the sins equal to the number of atoms existing in the universe
can also be purified completely, just by the divine momentary glance of an Acharya. Furthermore, that
VyasaPuja2011

sinner will become the most pious and virtuous person who will acquire all the pietys which cant be
even counted by our lord and even he would feel incapable of doing so.

The so-called gratitude which I have expressed in my offering is only limited to words, but in reality no
content, nor any paragraph or sentence, a word or even a letter is adequately competent or capable to
explain your grace on us and for which even we cant offer such gratitude through the limited and
imperfect intelligence.

We cannot repay anything adequately to a teacher, who teaches us alphabets and to read and write.

Compassion personified: (guravo dna-vatsal)
You have taken sankalpa (vow) to protect and deliver us, you have taken all the troubles and pains of
your surrendered servants to remove all the sufferings on their account, you have taken the burden of
cleansing their sins, you have taken all the difficulties to ensure all who have taken your shelter will
reach the abode of Krishna Chandra.

our Ultimate wealth, you are our knowledge, you are our treasure, yourself is the means and end, you
are to be worshipped at all times, under all circumstances, your name shall always be uttered by
everyone at all times.
You have dispelled all our sins. You have removed the ignorance from our spirits. You as our Father and
Hare Krishna Maha Mantra as our Mother have given us this new birth (vidya janma). This birth takes
us on the path which leads us to an end to all our future births and deaths. You have endowed us with
this divine knowledge. You have taken away all of our anxieties. You have given us the most confidential
knowledge and made us understand. You have an infinite amount of compassion towards us. You are
always interested in our welfare. On account of all of these, you are always to be worshipped as the Lord
Himself.

With the intense desire to serve the lotus feet of an Acharya we can easily get rid of the burden of
repeated birth and death, what to speak of the troubles in Bhakti yoga, which also becomes easier.

So please bestow the required faith and a craving desire to hear your words, so that I can be blessed with
the sword from Krishna and be delivered by cutting the knots of material life without further
complicating my attachment to this material world. Please accept this useless property of Krishnas and
engage in your service always.
May your glorious Srila Prabhupada, the greatest among the teachers of the Gaudiyas, and the tiger
among the gurus, reside forever in my heart.
This insignificant wretch begs a tiny corner of shelter under your fearless lotus feet.

Srila Prabhupada, I can't conceive how I am connected to the greatest parampara which will connect to

where a group of devotees are working hard to bring back Your movement from Your deviant disciples
and place You as a sole Diksha Guru of ISKCON. Bless me to become an instrument in Your hand to
help these devotees bring back Your movement.
So far I didn't face any challenges to practicing Krsna consciousness because You gave me a cool entry to
ashram life. Please bless me do more and more service and give strength to face the challenges and
successfully practice Krishna consciousness.

My dear Srila Prabhupada,
Please Accept My Humble Obeiances at your Lotus Feet.
This year there were many downs in my path of Krishna Consciousness. I am not able to follow the basic
instructions like getting up early in the morning, attending Mangala Arati, Chanting Hare Krishna
mantra 16 good rounds, Reading your books etc.
Many places you said that little tapasya we have prescribed, that "Rise early in the morning at half past
three," but they are so downtrodden, they cannot do it. "Let me sleep five minutes more. I'll enjoy." You
see? Such downtrodden. They were performing austerities, standing in the water in winter season, and
we are recommending, "Please rise early in the morning at half past three. Be prepared for mangala-
arati," it is very difficult job. Just see how much we are fallen. But it is not going in my heart and not
able to get up and follow your instructions. Many days I have not attended mangala arati.
Also You said, So in my absence you read the books. What I talk, I have written in the books. That's
all. I have not read your books for more than four months.
Although I am in Vaishnava association, I am always with envious, jealous and speculative about other
devotees behavior and character and fault finding tendency. Due to this kind of mentality I am not
getting taste for reading and whenever I want to read some disturbance comes and I get deviated from
reading.
Prabhupada, few months ago you saved us from the big danger caused by the ISKCON apasamparadaya
community and you are protecting us every moment.
VyasaPuja2011

Even this Vyasa puja offering I am writing as a custom, I dont have love to glorify You. What all you
have given to me, but I dont have value to show my gratitude in the form of (atleast) homage offering to
you on this auspicious day. I dont know any philosophy except what you have given in your books, I
dont know any service other than what you have given through authority system, I dont know what is
Bhakti other than what you have given in the Hare Krishna Movement.
Somehow, I want to be under your shelter eternally without any other desire, please shower your divine
grace unto this insignificant soul to follow your instructions 100%, without deviation and be a
significant instrument in your hand to preach your message and be a part of in your movement.
Thank You Prabhupada,

Dearest Srila Prabhupada,
Please accept my humble obeisance at lotus feet.
Srila prabhupada I thank you very much for everything you have given me. I will never be able to pay
debt for it.
My life was just vague before I came in touch with you. I did not know what to do in life, what most
important thing in life is, what is good and what is bad. You have taught me real way of living. But
unfortunately as the time passed on I have forgotten this gratitude towards you and I dint keep the
standards of being called as your disciple. I am really sorry for all these.

''I am offering my respectful obeisances unto you Srila Prabhupada by whose mercy a dumb man can
become a great speaker and a lame man can cross over a mountain, and who thus delivers all fallen souls
towards go back to home back to godhead who is purifier of all fallen souls."
I offer my respectful obeisances unto you Srila Prabhupada. You are devotee of Lord Krishna who is
Supreme Lord of all lords. You are the ocean of mercy and friend of all living entities. You are just like
desire tree you can fulfill desire of everyone full of compassion for fallen condition souls.
As we stand before Your Divine Grace today, in your manifested spiritual form of deity, we are conscious
of your total presence with us, just as we feel your presence 24hours 365days on HARE KRISHNA HILL,
guiding us to serve the lotus feet of SRI SRI RADHA KRISHNACHANDRA. We are grateful that you
allowed us to serve you in your deity form, giving us the opportunity to bath you, dress you, cook for
you, participate with you in festivities, present reports of our services for your pleasure, to carry out your
instructions.
SRILA PRABHUPADA, it is by transcendental design that you have instituted your daily worship in your
temples and the placing of your deity in the altar. Thus you have clearly and practically stated your
transcendental position as the current Acharya for all times in this movement. You desired to manifest in
your instructions and your deity form and taught us to honor and respect you as the sole Acharya of the
movement in order to lead us to KRISHNAs lotus feet.
You have clearly established all daily practices in your movement to facilitate the spiritual growth of
sincere souls who reposed their faith in you as their SPIRITUAL MASTER. You wanted to prevent any
ambitious person from tampering with the faith of your followers and misleading them.
We are grateful to you SRILA PRABHUPADA that you have rescued us from the deep danger of
considering you as a purva acharya. We got the opportunity of living with your DIVINE GRACE and
continue your transcendental mission in your direct association. The SPIRITUL MASTER, even after
leaving his physical body continues to remain the current link in the PARAMPARA for as he does not
bestow his mantle upon another. That is real continuation of parampara..

Please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet. All glories unto you.
Thank you for giving me an opportunity for being part of your great movement here in ISKCON,
Bangalore. This year we had a tough time due to legal and other media related issues. But finally its all a
plan of Lord Krishna to glorify his pure devotee like you. And make us develop more and more faith and
attachment towards you. This year we had the special occasion of all our devotees being initiated in the
format of Ritvik system as per your desire.
Please give me the proper intelligence to understand your books when i read them. Keep me always in
the association of your devotees so that this crazy mind can be controlled. Please bless me so that I chant
properly without any offenses and develop an attachment for chanting the holy names of the lord.
Let me overcome all the disturbances either from my so-called family or my own body mind system to be
fully focused in the service of their Lordships Sri Sri Radha Krishna Chandra. I would like to be a puppet
in your hands so that you can use me any way.

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories unto You!
On this auspicious occasion of 115th anniversary of your divine physical manifestation on the surface of
the earth, this undeserving recipient of your causeless mercy is attempting to express gratitude towards
you. Please provide me the strength and intelligence to be able to glorify Your Divine Grace to my fullest
capacity, although this insignificant wrteched fellows homage makes no difference to you. But by
glorifying Your Divine Grace, I have the only hope of getting purified of my uncountable anarthas.
Krishna Consciousness is so dynamic, and how time flies! In one year of rendering devotional service
unto you, how much have you taught me and how much have you moulded me from an immature over-
enthusiastic boorish young lad to a young man who is just now beginning to come to his senses and is
attaining the maturity of being a responsible preaching instrument in Your Divine hands!
When I look back at my previous attempt in offering You homage, where I begged you to provide me
with maha-utsaha (great enthusiasm), in line with the name You bestowed upon me, I can safely
mention that You have bestowed not just with maha utsaha upon this Mahotsaha dasa but also You
have taken me through tough situations, making me earn dhairya (patience, perseverance). What you
did, to teach me the principle of dhairya is needless to be discussed in a homage offering, for You know
it and I have felt it and has made a tremendous differnce in my life.
Although enthusiasm is good, the words of my leader and your powerful instrumental servant authority
rings in my ears to this day, as you spoke through him to me,
Enthusiasm is good, but being over enthusiastic is dangerous and you may lose service attitude in your
enthusiasm of achieving big things. Please learn to do the small but most important services better first,
and become humble as a devotee
If not for these timely words of advice, I wouldnt really be in Your glorious movement this day to be
writing this homage offering unto You. I frankly admit that I had mistaken my over ambitious nature to
enjoy sense gratification to be maha-utsaha (great enthusiasm) for bhakti (devotional service), and I was
blissfully unaware that I was nicely watering the weeds in devotional service namely, labha, puja,
prathishta (profit according to material calculations; adoration achieved by satisfying mundane people;
becoming an important man in material calculations).
It was only by your timely intervention through the glorious system of authority that you have set up in
your movement of ISKCON that I was able to recognize my fault and have begun to rectify this nature.
When I reflected upon your words spoken through your representative, I went back to re-reading your
glorious vani in this regard, about six items that enhance bhakti. Indeed I found that it is not enough to
have utsaha (enthusiasm) for bhakti (devotional service) but indeed dhairya (patience) is even more
important for proper progress in bhakti (devotional service). The point that struck me most was from
your wonderful rendering of Rupa Goswamis masterly instructions of Upadeshamrta into English as
Nectar of Instruction in the purport of Verse Three You spoke to me,
VyasaPuja2011

These activities must be executed with patience. One should not be impatient in Ka
consciousness. Indeed, this Ka consciousness movement was started single-handedly, and in
the beginning there was no response, but because we continued to execute our devotional
activities with patience, people gradually began to understand the importance of this
movement, and now they are eagerly participating. One should not be impatient in discharging
devotional service, but should take instructions from the spiritual master and execute them
with patience, depending on the mercy of guru and Ka. The successful execution of Ka
conscious activities requires both patience and confidence. A newly married girl naturally
expects offspring from her husband, but she cannot expect to have them immediately after
marriage. Of course, as soon as she is married she can attempt to get a child, but she must
surrender to her husband, confident that her child will develop and be born in due time.
Similarly, in devotional service surrender means that one has to become confident. The devotee
thinks, avaya rakibe ka: "Ka will surely protect me and give me help for the successful
execution of devotional service." This is called confidence.
You taught me the value of dhairya (patience) the hard way, but slow learner as I am, still struggling to
learn the lesson yet. But how can I thank You for Your constant shelter at Your Lotus Feet, except for
rededicating my life to Your glorious mission in this world. Please continue to teach me the unlimited
lessons and give me the strength and intelligence to learn them, even if they be in the hard way.
You are alive and active in Your Divine instructions; for one who wants to take these instructions! You
are proving it true to the hundreds of devotees surrendered exclusively unto Your Lotus Feet, in your
institution as rightly named, Srila Prabhupadas ISKCON Bangalore. Please give me strength to be an
able foot-soldier in the war to re-establish Your Divine Grace as the sole acharya of ISKCON, under the
commandeering of Your able servants here at ISKCON Bangalore.
Yes, I admit that I had personal desire to serve You in a specific capacity, You have bestowed the
fulfilment of that desire, and I am now feeling the burden of that responsibility, of bringing more souls
unto Your Lotus Feet by rendering service as a Youth Preacher in ISKCON Bangalore. Please bestow me
with enough strength and mercy to overcome my struggle to practice complete daily sadhana bhakti, and
also please give me the privelege to bear Your message as an effective tape recorder and player, in
propogating Facing life Challenges The Bhagavad Gita Way to youngsters of Bangalore city, thereby
bringing more souls to shelter of Your Lotus Feet.
Begging you to bestow me with more utsaha, dhairya, and nischaya and please throw out the weeds in
the cultivation of my devotional service.
Begging for Your unlimited causeless mercy,
Your insignificant disciple,
Mahotsaha Chaitanya Dasa
Megha Shyama Dasa
Dear Srila Prabhupada, please accept my humble obeissances unto Your Lotus Feet. On this most
auspicious day of Your divine appearance on this planet it becomes the duty of all those jivas who are
fortunate enough to receive Your mercy, to come in touch with Your vani & associate with You, to offer
there glorification of Your Lotus Feet & to remind themselves about the indebtedness we all bear
towards the unlimited compassion You are bestowing upon all the fallen souls of kali yuga.
Dear Master in this age of Kali, where everyone is immersed in the ignorance of sense gratification being
lost in the world of false hopes & ambitions & in various plan making businesses to make themselves
happier in this world, they are always in anxiety, worried & fearful. Dear Prabhupada Your divine words
are like soothing moonshine & saving grace for these battered souls who are struggling with the material
VyasaPuja2011

nature from degrading themselves to hellish planets. Your mercy is the only hope to safeguard ourselves
from the traps of so many varieties of bogus gurus , Babas & so called spiritualists.
Dear Srila Prabhupada, it is terrible to know that without understanding the position of an Acarya or a
bonafide Spiritual Master the very same people whom You taught & groomed in Krishna consciousness
have removed you from the august seat of the Diksha guru of ISKCON & are falsely assuming the post
of an acarya without even realizing the preliminary qualifications of a bonafide Spiritual Master.
Srila Prabhupada as you write in Sri Caitanya Caritamrta Without being empowered by the direct
potency of Lord Ka to fulfill His desire and without being specifically favored by the Lord, no human
being can become the Spiritual Master of the whole world. He certainly cannot succeed by mental
concoction, which is not meant for devotees or religious people. Only an empowered personality can
distribute the Holy Name of the Lord and enjoin all fallen souls to worship Ka. By distributing the
Holy Name of the Lord, he cleanses the hearts of the most fallen people; therefore he extinguishes the
blazing fire of the material world. Not only that, He broadcasts the shining brightness of Kas
effulgence throughout the world. Such an Acrya, or Spiritual Master, should be considered nondifferent
from Kathat is, He should be considered the incarnation of Lord Kas potency. Dear
Prabhupada, no ordinary living entity grappled under the grips of material nature can even dream of
assuming the post of an Acarya & accept the surrender of innumerable jivas because it only remains an
external show & both the so called guru as well as so called disciple continue to bear the brunt of
material existence.
Dear prabhupada, You said that a bona fide Spiritual Master is never a conditioned soul. The Spiritual
Master comes in the category of nitya siddha an eternal associate of the Lord. As it is stated The nitya-
siddha never forgets his relationship with the Supreme Personality of godhead. By the order of the
Supreme Personality of Godhead, the nitya-siddha remains within this material world like an ordinary
man, but the only business of the nitya-siddha is to broadcast the glories of the Lord. All nitya-siddhas
within this material world may appear to toil like ordinary men, but they never forget their position as
servants of the Lord.{ CC, madhya lila 5.113 }. Srila Prabhupada, it is very evident that from very birth
You were never forgetful of Your original relationship with the Supreme Personality of Godhead.
Without proper understanding of the position of a bonafide Acarya & without being specifically
authorized by the predecessor Acarya, some of the materially ambitious & greedy men have dethroned
You from Your rightful position as the sole Diksha Guru of ISKCON & even though unqualified they
want to pose themselves as Diksha Gurus in ISKCON. This is an outright violation of Your Divine
Graces orders & the biggest offence as You write in Srimad Bhagavatam purport 4.19.37 ka-akti
vin nahe tra pravartana: one cannot explain the glories of the Holy Name of the Lord without being
specifically empowered by Him. If one criticizes or finds fault with such an empowered personality, one
is to be considered an offender against Lord Viu and is punishable. Even though such offenders may
dress as Vaiavas with false tilaka and ml, they are never forgiven by the Lord if they offend a pure
Vaiava. There are many instances of this in the stras.
The ISKCON, Bangalore under the leadership of His Grace Madhu Pandit Prabhu has waged a war
against these so called gurus & wants to reinstate You in Your original position in ISKCON. Srila
Prabhupada, it is my good fortune that I am also part of this Dharma yuddha - a war to establish true
religious codes, true Spiritual Master in ISKCON so that your Divine Graces mercy is available to
millions jivas & they can establish their eternal relationship with You & Lord Krishna. Instead of
unnecessarily blocking the progress of jivas in their spiritual journey these bogus gurus should only
facilitate our relationship with Your Lotus Feet & the Supreme Lord through their instructions as siksha
gurus.
Dear Srila Prabhupada, let this war be ended as early as possible & let Your channel of mercy inundate
whole world which has been unnecessarily blocked by these guru aparadhies.
VyasaPuja2011

Dear Prabhupada, Kindly bestow us the required strength & capacity to strictly follow Your instructions
without any deviations or concoctions & be always engaged in the service of Your Lotus Feet.

Please accept my humble obeisances onto Your Lotus Feet
This year I was initiated by the mercy of Prabhupada. I pray to Prabhupada to give me strength to attend
morning sadhana and do offenseless chanting. It is more difficult to understand Guru than to understand
Lord Sri Krishna. Only by the causeless mercy of Krishna one can understand Guru. In kaliyuga
anything can happen. In future whatever situation may happen, keep me always in Your association and
Your devotees association.
Still I am shamelessly committing unlimited offenses at Your Lotus Feet. Please forgive me and give me
more strength to avoid these dangerous offenses.
I beg You to please continue to provide Your shade and protection to this fallen soul so that I may always
be engaged in Your service to repay Your debt which can never be repaid.
Praying for Your guidance and shelter,

Hare Krishna
Please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet. All glories to your Divine Grace.
First of all, I beg pardon at your lotus feet for not following all your instructions & having crazy mind
which commits offences & is envious towards not only non devotees, but also towards your devotees. I
am proud of being in the parampara of Rupanugas, but I am not liked even by devotees, what to speak of
non devotees? I fall at your Lotus feet again and again seeking for your special mercy on this very
auspicious day of your appearance upon this dull headed, fallen, demonic disciple who cannot be
delivered by any means other than your special mercy. My life will be successful, if I run behind your
special mercy for two purposes:
Let me take all your instructions as my life and soul & follow the same for your transcendental pleasure.
Let me become servant of your disciples by all means. Let me serve other living entities who are
wandering in this material world for sense gratification by spreading your mercy & your Bhaki Vedanta
purport.
As you aware I am not able follow all the instruction given by you to your satisfaction. I beg to take
shelter of your lotus feet, which alone can bestow your special mercy, so that, I may one day, follow all
of your instructions and please you.
I am determined like the worm in stool to go back to stool again and again. You are unlimitedly merciful
and are taking away this suffering soul from the forest fire of material existence again and again. Please
shower your special mercy, so that I will remain eternally at your lotus feet renouncing stool like
material sense gratification.
Your have brought the ocean of Lord Gaurangas mercy, in very exciting mood, in the form of Great
Sankirtan. Without taking advantage of this uncomparable opportunity, I am becoming more & more
VyasaPuja2011

like a show bottle devotee, because of above two reasons. Please shower your causeless special mercy to
swim in the Great Ocean of Sankirtan & relish.
You are the perfect teacher to make all classes of fallen souls (including cow eater) to be perfect
worshiper of their Lordship Sri Sri Radha Krishna Chandra, Sir Sri Krishna Balaram, Sri Sri Nitai
Gauranga, Sri Srinivas Govinda, Sri Prahalada Narasimha & Your Divine Grace with high standard of
cleanliness, but I have missed out your teachings, even though I am very proud of being your disciple.
Please shower your causeless special mercy upon me, so that I can also be qualified to worship You and
their Lordships.
I am proud of being a part of your mission in distributing unlimited prasadam, but I am not conscious of
this & it is becoming mechanical. Please shower your causeless special mercy to be conscious of this
wonderful service bestowed on me by your Divine Grace.
You taught us with your practical example how to be eager and relish hearing & chanting the glories of
Sri Sri Radha Krishna Chandra always. But, I am so busy & eager to hear & chant my glories and relish
them only. Please shower your causeless special mercy, so that I will get attracted to hear & chant the
glories of divine couple Sri Sri Radha Krishna Chandra eternally.
You are very dear to Supreme Lord Sri Krishna & Srimadi Radharani, because you are expert in assisting
the gops, who at different times make different tasteful arrangements for the perfection of Rdh-Kas
conjugal loving affairs. Please shower your causeless special mercy, so that I will assist you as your
eternal servant, instead of assisting my eternal enemy- lust, which at different times make different
tasteful arrangements for sense gratification with my material mind & senses.
Even though it said in all revealed scripture that you are as good as Supreme Lord, I am not in position
to perfectly realize this fact. Please shower your causeless special mercy, so that I will be able to realize
this and take full advantage of Your Divine Grace and become your real eternal servant.
Unless I am fortunate enough to receive your mercy, I cant even think of the mercy of Supreme Lord. In
this situation, I have no other hope than your causeless special mercy upon me. Let me always think of
you and your instruction & follow them fully by your special mercy for the pleasure of you & Krishna
only.
I am once again begging pardon at your lotus feet for not following all your instructions & having crazy
mind which commits offences & envious towards not only non devotees, but also towards your
devotees. I fall at your Lotus feet again and again seeking for your special mercy on this very auspicious
day of your appearance on this dull headed, fallen, demonic disciple, who cannot be delivered by any
means other than your causeless special mercy.
Please be merciful upon me, so that I can follow all your instructions perfectly & I will not commit any
offences at any one and I will not be envious of any one for your pleasure.
Your insignificant & foolish servant,
Nanda Nandana Dasa
Nanda Kishora Dasa
Please accept my humble obeisance.
As I write this homage I realize that one year is over since I joined ashram. Before I came in touch with
ISKCON, I thought I don't need to know anything about spirituality. I have seen so many gurus & gods,
but only you spoke the truth. They say that there was nothing in the beginning & everything came
automatically. Then men created God for peaceful living. But You proved that God created everything
and he gave Vedas for peaceful living. This was an eye opener for me. Vedas not only contain Dharma,
Artha, Kama, Moksha but also Prema. I was born in the darkest of ignorance and you opened my eyes
with the torch of knowledge. O Prabhupada! I offer my respectful obeisances unto you.
VyasaPuja2011

In past one year I have understood one significant point. Earlier I have read books non-stop. I have read
many story books without even caring for lunch or dinner. So the question is why is it that I cannot read
your books so intensely? Why within a few minutes of reading I feel drowsy? The answer is that these
books are not mundane books filled with data or mundane stories. They are actually sharp chisels which
remove the dirt of millions of lives which covers the heart. So with every reading a lot of dirt gets
scratched out. When all our concocted theories of happiness gets scratched we feel sad and don't feel
like reading anymore. Some say that mind becomes very peaceful and so we feel sleepy. O Prabhupada!
for providing such transcendental books I offer my respectful obeisances unto you.
Actually my mind doesn't want to read or attend mangal arati, or darshan arati, or Bhagwatam class or
do any devotional service. But theoretically at least I know that actually I want to do only this. So for
now, I'll go on reading everyday at least one hour. Just like a few years back I thought it'll be impossible
for me to join temple. But just see, you have accepted me as your disciple. And now you are engaging me
24 hours in devotional service. Similarly, one day I'll relish the nectar of your books. O Prabhupada! my
eternal spiritual master, I offer my respectful obeisances unto you.
Krishna is the Supreme Personality of Godhead - I have understood. But how he is the Supreme
Personality of Godhead, I need to learn. And it is you who has made it so easy. Our full day routine is
designed for this purpose. Getting up at 3:30AM, Sadhana and Devotional Service broadens the
intelligence to grasp the complex spiritual subjects. Simply by following the routine I progress. I see how
much I am bound to this material world, and how far I have to go. I am getting detached to so many
anarthas simply by following the authority. By your mercy this big ocean will become as small as a
calf's hoof print. O Prabhupada! You have provided such a wonderful system, hence I offer my respectful
obeisances unto you.
May your glories be proclaimed throughout the three worlds.

Dear Guru Maharaj,
Please accept my humble obeisance at your lotus feet. Hare Krishna.
By your causeless grace I am serving the lotus feet of their lordships Sri Sri Radha Krishnachandra, Sri
Sri Krishna Balaram, Sri Sri Guaranga Nitai, Sri Prahlada Narashima, Sri Srinivasa Govinda,
Garuda Dev and Hanuman.
Even though I am not personally qualified to render any kind of service still it is your grace that you
have given such an opportunity to this fallen conditioned soul.
Your Divine appearance in this material world was meant for the upliftment of the degraded human
society. I myself an example of your causeless mercy.
When I turn back in my life I still remember that how much disturbed I was till I joined and took shelter
of your divine lotus feet in the year 1982. My only request at your lotus feet is that please always keep
me at your divine shelter. Oh! My lord you are ocean of mercy, please never kick me out of your
service. Even though knowingly or unknowingly I have committed tons of offences at your lotus feet,
still I beg for your mercy and pray that you please forgive all my offences and keep me engaged in your
service.
Material world is blazing fire and without your mercy nobody can come out of it. samsara davanala lida

Srila Prabhupada from past three years I am not being able to render proper service due to my ill health.
In spite of all this the temple authorities are trying to engage me according to my health situations I am
very much grateful to them for their help and all kinds of support for my family and myself.
Present situation of the court case between us and so called ISKCON is not pleasing to me but I am very
much confident and sure that we will surely come out victorious in the battle of dharma because your
mercy and Lord Krishnas mercy is upon us.
At the dust of your lotus feet,
Your fallen (disciple) servant,
Narahari Thakur Dasa.

By being a very obedient servant of the Supreme Lord & His devotee, one becomes extremely powerful,
in bodily strength, influence, and effulgence. SB 7. 8. 50
Its been more than 4 years since I have been serving as a full time devotee in your movement. You are
taking me through a lot of challenges and experiences, which are making me, realize that this world is
dangerous, temporary & the only hope is the service to You and through You. And also hence
distribute this mercy to one and all.
Presently, Your Divine Grace has put me in Public Relations service and given a challenging task of
convincing the Big Guns in society about Krishna Consciousness. Surely its a great responsibility. And
if we are successful in convincing even a small section of this class, we can create a revolution in our
movement.
I would like to share just one experience that has infused a lot of faith in me about the power of You &
Krishna. Recently, soon after the High court order was pronounced, the bogus guru camp agents created
a lot of bad publicity in media. Even after that, for almost a week, a lot of bad campaigning was done.
This had resulted in a lot of damage to the temple reputation. I was thinking whether Ill be able to go
out at all, and face the people, who might be humbugged by this false propaganda. This was when we
started projecting the truth, about the false self-proclaimed Guru system as the cause of our fight,
exposing their disgraceful fall down through Krishna voice monthly magazine & other means. I was
hesitating to tell people about this, fearing the repercussions. But, having faith in Your system, & hence
as directed by my authorities, I started preaching about this to top politicians, Bureaucrats, Judiciary,
and other Whos Who of society. Surprisingly, most of them accepted this truth, started feeling for us
and came forward to help us. I strongly feel that this sort of response is due to your causeless mercy and
the act of Yoga Maya. This has given me immense faith and confidence to go to anybody boldly & tell
the truth that You are the only Guru and our fight is for this.
I wholeheartedly thank you for all that is being done to me. I would like to very stubbornly beg that you
give me the ability with respect to bodily strength, mind, intelligence, etc. powerful enough to convince
the Srestas in the society to take up KC and hence help the organization in every need.
I also ask your divine help for the following specific desires of mine:
1. TochantHareKrishnaoffenselesslyandreadYourbooksnicelytopurifymyselfandalsopreachto
others.
2. Powertoconvince&influencetheBigGunsinsocietyaboutKrishnaConsciousness.
3. TobehumbleandalwayshaveatendencytoserveotherVaishnavas.

Jai Srila Prabhupad,
All glories to Your Divine Grace.
One more glorious year added to Your Divine Appearance.
My dear Srila Prabhupada who appeared on the threshold of dark material existence which is like a
blazing fire and fulfilled the prediction and mission of Lord Sri Chaitanaya Mahaprabhu by spreading the
holy name of lord: Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare, Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama
Rama Hare Hare at every possible nook and corner of the world.
You very carefully handed down the teaching of Lord Sri Krishna and Sri Chaitanaya Mahaprabhu as it
was received by you from your spiritual master, His Divine Grace O Viupda Paramahasa
Parivrjakcrya 108 r rmad Bhaktisiddhnta Sarasvat Gosvm Mahrja Prabhupda in a bonafide
guru parampara system. Under the authorization of your spiritual master you very meticulously
organized a world wide organization ISKCON to spread the glories of Lord Sri Chaitanaya
Mahaprabhu and the holy name of the Lord.
Every thing that is required for each and every individual to become God conscious was incorporated in
ISKCON.e.g
1. Bonafide guru paramparam 2. Bonafide Spiritual master and Diskha system
3. Vedic literatures as it is 4. Association of vaishnavas
5. Twenty Four hour service of the Lord, shelter to stay, prasadam to honor, principles of
regulations, kitans and chanting of the holy name of lord.
There is no need of any additional requirements for making progress on the path of devotional service.
Anyone who sincerely and seriously takes benefit of these facilities as provided by you, there is no doubt
of ones going back home back to Godhead.
Going back to Godhead is not so easy for those who keep material desires, ambitions and aspirations of
enjoyment in their mind.
Let us keep ourselves always pure by following the regulative principles and become the recipient of
Lords direction and dictation along with your blessings.
At the end I would like to thank you for your causeless mercy upon me. Even though there are many
discrepancies in me and my service still you have always encouraged and guided me at every step even
without my knowledge.
I beg your pardon for any offenses that I have commited at the lotus feet of your divine grace.
Please bless and guide me to upkeep the standards of devotional service that you have laid down at every
moment of my life.
Your eternal servant,
Nayanabhiram Dasa.

Hare Krishna,
Please accept my respected humble obeisance at your divine lotus feet.
It is only because of you that this fallen soul has got chance to revive his Krishna consciousness. I was
lost in the ocean of nescience and was unknown that I was suffering. It is because of your causeless
mercy, my eyes were opened and I was saved. I had no qualification of becoming your disciple. You are
the only bona fide agent of Krishna in the present age, through which one can get to know the extreme
confidential secret of Love of Godhead Krishna. You are the true representative of Lord Chaitanya and
beloved of your Guru Maharaja.
In the present situation a tug of war against ISKCON Mumbai, we are striving with heart and soul to
upkeep your Grace as the only DIKSHA GURU. We are facing lots of challenges in preaching because of
lots of damage has happened to our ISKCON Bangalore.
Truth is also truth, even we may die but until and unless we are breathing we will strive for the truth.
That type of determination and dedication we learned and inculcated by the guidance of our leader
Madhu Pandit Prabhu. So even result of High court might sadden us, but the will power to execute your
order is in every drop of our blood to install your Grace as the only DIKSHA GURU OF ISKCON
movement. Because of your causeless mercy, I have become the most fortunate soul.
Still, I am full of Anarathas to Kama, krodha, lobha, mada, moha, matsarya, labha, puja and prathista are
there in my heart. I know, it can be counteracted by conquering the lower self with the higher self
backed up with spiritual strength.
Please forgive me for my offenses and kindly save me from the onslaught of Maya. Dont let me use my
free will in serving Maya. Guide me and my intelligence to exercise my free will in serving your
instructions as it is throughout this life and life after life. Exploit me in your service of Lord Chaitanya
and your Guru Maharaj. I am so unfortunate that I can only ask from you but cannot repay you
anything.
Srila Prabupada although I am lowest of all and have no good qualification of any kind, you have
mercifully bestowed upon me some attraction towards devotees, yourself and Lord Krishna. I beg you to
keep me at your Divine Lotus feet as your eternal servant.

I offer my respectful obeisances unto the Lotus Feet of my Spiritual Master. After many years of
travelling, somehow by Krishnas mercy I visited ISKCON temple Bangalore and I read Srila
Prabhupadas books. Somehow by His mercy I became attracted to Srila Prabhupada and his ISKCON.
His divine books changed my life. I accepted Prabhupada as my Spiritual Master before coming to
ISKCON. I have met many so called swamijis and gurus. When I read Prabhupadas books, my mind
totally changed. I understood the value for human form of life. Human form of life is mean for God
realization. I should surrender unto the Supreme Personality of Godhead Sri Krishna. The goal of life is
to know Krishna, who is situated within the heart of every living being as Paramatma, the four handed
Vishnu form. Krishna is the ultimate goal of life. Our only one aim is to serve Krishna.
VyasaPuja2011

In todays world you will find many gurus, but getting a genuine Guru is very difficult. A genuine Guru
always speaks about God. He is the actual representative of God. Srila Prabhupada, You gave me the
chance to chant the Hare Krishna Maha Mantra, chance to do Deity worship. Prabhupada, please give me
more strength to do more devotional service. Give me strength to stick to ISKCON. Give me strength to
follow Your instructions. Give strength to spread Your Hare Krishna movement.
Knowingly or unknowingly if I have committed any offence against anybody, please forgive me. Once
again I offer my respectful obeisance unto the Lotus Feet of my Spiritual Master and unto the feet of all
Vaisnavas.

My Dear Srila Prabhupada,
Please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet. Your Divine Grace is a messenger from Goloka
Vrindavana, and your mission is to attract the conditioned souls to associate with Sri Krishna and His
eternal associates. You are yourself not different from Lord Krishna because who but the Lord can
deliver His devotees. You are the representative of Balaramji, the original spiritual master and the source
of spiritual strength for all devotees. You are the manifestation of the Lord's infinite mercy, and therefore
you are more merciful than the Lord. Thousands of births of penances and austerities cannot liberate one
from the whirlpool of material energy but one word from the spiritual master, and the conditioned soul
is at once free.
I offer my most humble obeisances a thousand times at the lotus feet of my spiritual master, Srila
Prabhupada, who is so merciful as to have simply glanced over my wretched self and rekindled the spark
of loving devotional service .
Your servant,
Pankajanghri Dasa.
Payasvini Radha Devi Dasi
Please accept my humble obeisance. All glories to your divine grace.
The scriptures glorify the appearance of a pure devotee who comes down to claim fallen conditioned
souls on behalf of the Supreme Lord. Your appearance is a great fortune for all of us. Although we are
neither knowledgeable nor eligible to know about the spiritual realm, we are able to taste the nectar of
spiritual life today by your mercy. Srila Prabhupada, it is certainly hard for anyone who has taken shelter
of you to imagine life without your mercy or blessings. Your mercy has changed the life and spiritual
journey of thousands of souls who would otherwise have had no hope of redemption.
The year gone by has been very special for us in Bangalore. Many of us have had the opportunity of
receiving formal shelter of your lotus feet through formal initiation. We have also had the great and rare
fortune of becoming soldiers of your divine graces army to fight against the gurus who have illegally
usurped your position. The scriptures declare that opportunities to fight for dharma are rarely bestowed
VyasaPuja2011

even to highly qualified kshatriyasand yet, we, who are the lowest of conditioned souls, have been
given the same rare chance. How else can it be possible but for your mercy?
Srila Prabhupada, I pray to see the day when the hard struggle of our leaders led by Madhu Pandit
Prabhu bears fruit. I pray that nobody but you continue to be the sole initiating spiritual master of
ISKCON Bangalore. I also humbly beg you to claim back all your stolen temples and disciples and bring
back ISKCON to its erstwhile glory.
Srila Prabhupada, I personally do not have the qualification to be an insignificant soldier in this fight.
Yet, out of your great mercy upon me, you have led this useless soul here and are mercifully engaging
me in your service. I thank you and pray to continue being a part of your mission till my last breath.
Srila Prabhupada, on this auspicious day I beg you to please give me the strength to continue practicing
my spiritual life the best I can. I have nothing but a mind that is deeply conditioned and my weak
struggles against it to offer at your lotus feet. Please give me the strength to rise above the dictates of my
mind and become situated properly in your service. Please give me the strength to chant my rounds and
do my services to you to the best of my ability every single day. Please give me faith in your protection.
Please help me become a good disciple, servant to the Vaishnavas, and mother. Please always shelter me
from falling prey to maya and straying away from your lotus feet. I humbly pray to you to engage me in
your service eternally, in whatever condition I may exist.
Your most fallen disciple,
Payasvini Radha Devi Dasi
Prachetha Dasa
Every year on your transcendental appearance day, I never take my own step to write offering to your
divine grace. It will be a push by the senior authorities. Since I dont have any sense of gratitude towards
you for you have shown and given me the highest goal of human life, which is awarded to rear souls
(bramanda bramite kono bhagyavan jiv). It is by your causeless mercy today I am within your
movement still serving as a so called full time devotee with too many shortcomings within mind and
body.
Srila Prabhupada there are devotees who are having knowledge but not realization, or may not be
knowledge but realization and also there are devotees who have both knowledge cum realization, but I
dont have either of the both, nor this, nor that, neither head or tail. I am still continuing, I wonder how
is it possible. It is again by your causeless mercy only.
So I request you to please keep me in your glorious movement if not life after life at least this one life
time. And also praying you to make us get rid of fighting the battle in the court with those guru camps,
by making us utilize same energy and time in the spreading of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu movement.

Dear Srila Prabhupada please accept my humble obeisances unto your lotus feet. My dear spiritual
master I was a dirty boy, looking for dirty sense enjoyment every moment. But you have showered your
causeless mercy upon me. I do not know when my life has been changed.
My dear spiritual master I came in touch with your books in the year 2006 feb. From that day onwards
you personally took charge of my life, then in the year of 2007 on 8
th
April I came in touch with
ISKCON Bangalore. I came to Bangalore for my studies but now I can clearly see that you brought me to
Bangalore to associate with devotees and receive your causeless mercy.
Srila Prabhupad. before coming to Bangalore temple I didnt know who Krishna, where does he stay is.
You have taught me who Krishna is, where does he stay, how can we associate with him, who am I, why
have I taken birth, where I have to go etc.
Srila Prabhupad.ISKCON Bangalore devotees are very merciful and they are trying to keep your
position as you want sole diksha guru in ISKCON. They all are trying to follow your instructions as
you want but some of your disciples are trying to destroy your mission because of their bad association.
Srila Prabhupad, guide us and other devotees to spread your holy mission all over the world and keep
your position as sole diksha guru in your mission as you want. We cannot spread Lord Chaitanyas
mission on our own, please sit in our hearts and guide us for each and every step. Srila Prabhupad as you
accepted your gurus order to preach this cult of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu in western countries, in the
same way you give us strength to follow your order as life and soul.
VyasaPuja2011

My dear beloved spiritual master I do not have anything to offer you .Please give me strength to follow
your instructions as it is and keep me in your mission as faithful dog.

Your mercy and compassion knows no limitations. It is true that a jiva cannot understand the acts of a
Vaishnava. Its only a flood of your kindness towards this jiva which has retained me in your shelter.
Your attention even on this infinitesimal & negligible jiva shows your magnanimous sympathy my Lord.
Im millions of life-times and light-years away to even know a speck of your glories, your devotion to
Radha-Krishna, your spiritual form and activities. Your chanting of the Hare Krsna maha mantra is truly
a flood of nectar to desperate souls. Your form is a soothing balm to the eyes hurt by lust. Your words
about Krsna are the beacons of knowledge. You are the only cause to receive the causeless mercy of my
Lord Sri Krsna.
To fulfill ones desires, he should come to Krsna and His devotees. Only Krsna and His devotees can do
so. You are my desire fulfilling tree- vanca kalpa taru. Help me endure in your service with body, mind
and words in spite of my limitations and impurities. Please, bear with me dear Prabhupada. I'm a weak
beggar, begging strength to even suffer the reactions of ones own sinful lives. This jiva loaded with false-
egos, committing offenses, being a slave to senses and loitering aimlessly. Am I worthy of even speaking
about, forget praising you? Srila Prabhupada.

My dear Lord, one who earnestly waits for You to bestow Your causeless mercy upon him, all the while
patiently suffering the reactions of his past misdeeds and offering You respectful obeisances with his
heart, words and body, is surely eligible for liberation, for it has become his rightful claim.

All glories on to you Srila Prabhupada. Please accept my humble obeisances to your lotus feet.
I offer my respectful obeisances unto my spiritual master who has opened my eyes which were blinded
by the darkness of ignorance with torch light of knowledge.
Dear Srila Prabhupada you are my spiritual master, by your mercy I have received the benediction of
Krishna. Without the grace of you I cannot make any advancement in Krishna consciousness. Therefore
I always remember and praise you. Please accept my humble obeisances unto your lotus feet.
When will Srila Rupa Goswami Prabhupada, who has established within this material world the mission
to fulfill the desire or Lord Chaitanya, give me shelter under his lotus feet.
Dear Srila Prabhupada, always make me to chant the Holy Name Hare Krishna Maha Mantra attentively
free from the ten offenses. Make me to accept everything favorable for the execution of the devotional
service and carefully reject the things that are unfavorable. Make me to strictly avoid fault finding and
analyzing others behavior and free from envy. Help me develop humility, compassion and tolerance in
executing the devotional service of Sri Sri Radha Krishna Chandra.
VyasaPuja2011

Srila Prabhupada, make me accept the chanting the Holy Name is eternal religion of the living entity.
Make me accept devotional service to Lord Krishna as the essence of all human activities and to render
devotional service to Srimati Radharani and Krishna in Vraja in the mood of a Gopi.
O Spiritual master, ocean of mercy, friend of fallen souls, you are the teacher of every one, life of all
people. O Master, be merciful unto me and give me the shade of your lotus feet. May your glories now be
proclaimed throughout the three worlds.

rla Prabhupda, on this very auspicious day of your Divine Appearance, I beg to submit homage at the
dust of your Lotus feet & am begging your mercy.
Although I have no qualifications whatsoever, today I come before you with a humble prayer. Please
accept my respectful obeisances unto your lotus feet. All glories to your Divine Grace.
Srila Prabhupada words fail to describe your causeless mercy, what was I before coming in contact with
you & now, where Ive been placed. You have given me practically everything.
'sdhu-saga', 'sdhu-saga' sarva-stre kaya lava-mtra sdhu-sagesarva-siddhi haya(Cc.Mad 22.54)
The verdict of all revealed scriptures is that by even a moments association with a pure devotee, one can
attain all success.
I am very fortunate Kono Bhagyavan Jiva to have come in contact with you. Its the causeless mercy of
you & Krsna on this insignificant fallen conditioned soul. Whatever little service I've done or am doing
is only possible by your blessing & causeless mercy.
rla Prabhupda, I am infected with too many diseases which makes me think I am this body. I am the
doer. Diseases like pride, false-ego, lust, envy, anger, rage, jealously, greed, fear, sense enjoyment, desire
for prestige, name, fame, post, position & so on. I am filled with lusty desires & am always craving for
acceptance, appreciation, notice, praise, recognition & love.
I really want to come out of all these & stay at the platform where I am naturally the servant of the
servant of Lord r Krishna.
O Master! O My Lord! On this very auspicious day, I beg you, please empower me so that I can remain
strong & be fixed in Krsna Conciousness. I cannot on my own strength fight this infectious dangerous
disease. Let me take full shelter of your divine instructions. Please empower me so that I can follow your
instructions taking or making them as life & soul. Please guide me & protect me so that I may not
deviate from your instructions & orders even an inch.
All I pray from the bottom & core my heart is, please give me shelter at the lotus feet of the servant of
the servant of your servant & engage me in unalloyed devotional service unto the supreme Lord r r
Radha Krishna unconditionally.
If I could somehow please you rla Prabhupda, then I think my life is successful.
Your unqualified conditioned servant,

Kindly accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet. On this auspicious day of your appearance. I am
trying to remember and glorify Your presence in my every step of life.
As mentioned by Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, that his name will spread to each and every nook and
corner of the world, Srila Prabhupada, you have made this word of Mahaprabhu as reality. You have
taken lot of hardships to build a home where everyone can experience spiritual touch in this material
world. Your instructions are the only survivor and shelter for a hard and dumb person like me. When
you are physically present, many people got attracted to your movement just by seeing you once. In fact
they dedicated their lives for the service of your mission but the whole situation changed after your
physical disappearance. The so called senior discipline of you diverted from your instruction and
misguided the innocent devotees.
But by your mercy, there are a few devotees in Bangalore and its initiatives who wanted to bring back the
glories and importance of your movement. As per your directions, you are the only Diksha Guru in
ISKCON for next ten thousand year and you have affirmed this point many times. We want you as the
only Diksha Guru in ISKCON, who can transform the hearts of millions of soul and take us back to the
supreme lord Krishna.
Please guide us in this regard and help us to propagate your glories to everyone.
Trying to be your servant

All glories to the blissful movement you have created to deliver all the fallen souls like myself from this
material existence.
It is only by your Divine grace that I am able to render service unto your Lotus feet and our Lordship Sri
Sri Radha Krishna-Chandra, in spite of all my foolish acts and disobedience.
I am weak in my commitment to serve you and lack spiritual strength Srila Prabhupada. There are times
when I have felt guilty and unfit to be your servant, but you have always guided me out of these
VyasaPuja2011

situations through your books and quotes. I have a strong desire to serve Your mission Prabhupada and
hence humbly pray, that you please correct me when I am swayed away by Maya in a wrong path.
Srila Prabhupada, I beg your mercy to give me enough strength to act as a good instrument in the hands
of Lord Chaitanya, whose teachings can dissipate the darkness of this material world.
I thank you for giving me the association of your sincere devotees and wonderful authorities, who truly
care for our spiritual growth and help us in practicing pure Krishna Consciousness.
We the devotees in ISKCON Bangalore have strong faith in your instructions and we are confident that
you will help us in establishing Your Divine Grace as the sole Diksha Guru in ISKCON.

Rathayatra Dasa
(Initiated in 1975, 1976 by A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada)
Srila Prabhupada's ISKCON, Bangalore, India.
You have ordained and implemented a system for initiations in your mission using deputed priests of the
acarya, who offer formal initiation on your behalf (rivik). This system has been in place and functioning
in the Krishna consciousness movement since 1970, or slightly prior. I myself had a rivik
initiation in 1975 using your deputed priests. By your grace, you were personally present for my second
initiation, which I will always remember. After giving me my Gayatri mantra / thread, your spoke those
kind words to me to continue chanting my 16 rounds and to follow the four regulative
principles.
Srila Prabhupada you never suggested that your system for initiations using deputed priests on your
behalf should be discontinued for any reason. To the contrary, via numerous spoken and written
directives, you clearly delineated your intention to continue initiating disciples in the Krishna
consciousness movement by this system perpetually. Your sincere followers accept your
system without speculation, following the infallible authority of sadhu-sastra-guru.
I remain your servant praying for your mercy and blessings to continue to serve in your movement
delivering the western countries, which are filled with impersonlism and voidism. By your mercy, I am
here in ISKCON Bangalore, where your final order is obeyed, and your vision of the real ISKCON is
happening.
Sincerely,
Rathayatra Dasa.
Saci Tanaya Dasa
Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories on to you.
Sampradaya Sun or other sites may misrepresent your position, wicked people may bad mouth about
you, bogus gurus may say you do not exist anymore. But that will not shake our faith on you, Oh! Our
beloved Spiritual Master. We are the living examples of your magic. We came across your books and like
a touch stone you have changed our lives and blessed us with the highest gift Service to Supreme Lord
Krishna. This is the proof that you are living through your books as you have mentioned.
This year our temple leaders are going through very tough time because of those wicked people who
want to destroy your position in ISKCON as the only Spiritual Master. No matter what those people are
doing to us, we have seen you in the past and present, how you have lifted us from all troubles they have
caused. We will fight till end of our lives to establish your position and spread the Sankirtana movement.
VyasaPuja2011

We are sure that we will bring back the movement and the force that you have established to spread
Krishna Consciousness across the world. When we have your mercy, there nothing exists in this material
world that cannot be achieved.
Even though I have committed many offences in the past and I am still committing offenses like a fool
but still you are very merciful upon me, blessing me with more opportunities to serve our beautiful
Lordships Sri Sri Radha Krishna Chandra. I know that I am not qualified even to glorify your position,
what to think of serving you. This shows how merciful you are. THANK YOU SRILA PRABHUPADA.
You are our beloved spiritual master life after life. You are our ever will wisher.
Please bless me to become your servant,
Saci Tanaya Dasa.
Sampati Dasa
My dear Srila Prabhupad please accept my humble obeisance.
It is stated in Srimad Bhagavatam that we have met Your Goodness by the will of providence, just so
that we may accept you as captain of the ship for those who desire to cross the difficult ocean of Kali,
which deteriorates all the good qualities of a human being. rmad-Bhgavatam 1.1.22
But in my case I did not even have the iota of what is material world or tinge of desire to cross the ocean
of Kali. Rather I was completely immersed in deep ignorance of bodily concept of life. It was you who
mercifully came into my life, lifted me up from that gutter of materialistic life and placed me in this
Krishnas abode (ISKCON BANGALORE). I thank you a million Prabhupad.
If I look back into my life and ask for myself that what made me to get such an unimaginable fortune of
serving the lotus feet of a pure devotee like you and Supreme personality of Godhead Krishna. I just
have only one answer, that is Your causless mercy upon unqualified person like me. Because neither I
had good birth, pious account, performed austerity nor I was interested in surrendering unto you. In
spite of all these disqualifications you bestowed your causeless mercy upon me to serve your lotus feet.
This is the glory of a pure devotee, who can at once purify the most sinful person & give him highest
benediction of serving the lotus feet of vaishnavas and lord Krishna.
Oh my lord Prabhupad, as a result of your mercy I can practically see in my own life how you are acting
to purify me! In last year you have taught me many valuable lessons to make me a sane man. I clearly
know that I am the most dishonest, disobedient and dull headed student to receive your teachings. In
spite of your repeated teachings I see great tendency to commit mistakes again and again. I pray to your
lotus feet to correct me and protect me from such sinful tendencies.
Prabhupad you have mercifully protected me in all dangerous and difficult situations in last 4 years of
my ashram life. I can see how much you are committed to keep this fallen soul at your lotus feet but I do
not even have fraction of that commitment towards your lotus feet service. I have only offensive
behavior towards your mercy. My dear Prabhupad I pray to you for my deliverance from such offensive
behavior.
Oh my savior Prabhupad, You have given me an opulent life both material and spiritual. I am just feeling
that I am one big exploiter of your mercy as I am not doing any tangible service to you. I beg at your
lotus feet to change this exploiting attitude to serving attitude so that I may become civilized person at
least.
Prabhupad I again and again beg at your lotus feet to help me out to overcome my mind which is
contaminated by wicked inclinations to enjoy material sense gratification so that I can focus on your
service properly.
My dear Prabhupad at last I want to offer this following prayer from your purports of Srimad Bhagavatm
and seek your mercy.
VyasaPuja2011

"O devotee of the Lord, the purpose of the visual sense is fulfilled simply by seeing you, and to touch
your body is the fulfillment of bodily touch. The tongue is meant for glorifying your qualities because in
this world a pure devotee of the Lord is very difficult to find." (Hari Bhakti Subhodaya)

Shanta Narsimha Dasa
My Dearest Guru Maharaj,
Please accept my humblest obeisances at Your Divine Lotus Feet on this holy day of Sri Vyasa Puja. All
Glories to Sri Guru and Gouranga, who out of His unlimited compassion and mercy has brought Krishna
Consciousness to the most fallen souls of the Kali Yuga. One can only approach Krishna by the mercy of
the bona fide representative of Krishna. How can we know how to approach Krishna by ourselves? Only
someone who already knows how Krishna wants to be approached can direct others in the proper way of
approaching Him. For this reason the Spiritual Master is honored and respected as much as Krishna
Himself. This can be easily seen in His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami; for, we could not know
anything about the Supreme Absolute Truth, the All-Attractive Sri Krishna without the causeless Mercy
of our Spiritual Master. What can I say; what can I do; what can I write to communicate? Krishna
Consciousness is perfect. Prabhupada is the perfect Spiritual Master. Everybody should fall at His Lotus
Feet in humility and surrender. He has made His Mercy available to everyone and anybody. Anyone who
neglects this opportunity is a fool. Who else is showing so plainly the Beautiful Truth, the Supreme
Person Sri Krishna? Who else is teaching us how to love Krishna the way that Krishna wants to be
loved?
Youre most fallen soul

Please accept my humble obeisances unto your lotus feet. In this fallen age, it is very difficult to progress
in the path of spiritual advancement. By your teachings, conditioned souls brought under the shelter of
Krishna Consciousness are getting delivered from the conditioned life. Lord Krishna Himself says in
Bhagavad Gita, among all the yoga systems Bhakti Yoga is the simplest process. By following the
regulated way of Bhakti gradually one surrenders fully to the supreme Lord. Just by keeping in touch
with your movement one can easily practice the regulated way of bhakti (Sadhana Bhakti). No one is
fortunate enough to come to this Bhakti Marga on his own good fortune. It is cent percent true that only
by the grace and causeless mercy of spiritual master one can come to this path of Bhakti. You are the
true spiritual master of the whole world, coming from the bonafide disciplic succession. By your
teachings alone one knows Krishna in truth.
Krishna Says,
manushyanam sahasresu kascid yatati siddhaye yatatam api siddhanam kascin mam vetti tattvatah
Translation: Out of many thousands among men, one may endeavor for perfection and of those who
have achieved perfection; hardly one knows Me in truth.
Please always keep me in your shelter and let me never deviate from your teachings. Everyday we sing
Guruvandana at Guru puja time.-
VyasaPuja2011

guru-mukha-padma-vakya,cittete koriya aikya, ara na koriho mane asa
Translation: My only wish is to have my consciousness purified by the words emanating from the gurus
lotus mouth.
In your Final Lesson, you have given more stress for being in the association of devotees. So I must
always remain in the devotees association. Just like a group of birds co-operatively cross over the ocean
very easily, similarly being in the association of devotees one can easily cross over the ocean of material
existence. Bless me with detachment from this world and attachment to your lotus feet, for it can bestow
upon me the highest perfection of my existence.
Always trying to surrender.

fulfill the orders of Your Spiritual Master will inundate the earths surface with Krishna Consciousness
which was already foretold by Srila Bhaktivinod Thakura Prabhupada.
But at this point pleasure, pain and fear invade me. Pleasure of being accepted and blessed by your
Divine Grace. Pain that following your mandate is understood as a hearsay in your organization. Fear
because this mind purloins sense gratification in varieties.
At this juncture I appeal to you to bless me with your special protection, for it is celebrated throughout
the scriptures that Your mercy brings fulfillment of all Spiritual Desires.
I beg pardon of the offenses I have committed at your Lotus Feet. Prabhupada, let pleasing you only be
my occupation throughout my life. This is my desire.
Your Servant,
Shreshta Rupa Dasa.

Hare Krishna,
Please accept my humble obeisances,
This is my third offering letter. Its been almost one and a half years inside the ashram out of 8 yrs since I
came in touch with you. By your grace and the system you have set up, I am able to survive till now,
even though I came across some accidents and incidents, which could have shaken my stability,
confidence level, hope etc. on continuing as full time devotee, if I were supposed to be living outside.
I never expected that I would reach a state where I am totally detached from family, being aloof even
though some adverse situations happened in the family. I could sustain my EQ only because of the right
SQ doses being injected at right time by authorities which could absorb me in the devotional services.
Thereafter, I started reading Srimad Bhgavatam, which gave me even more strength. By your mercy, I
got a chance to associate with sages like Narada, Vyasdev, Suta Goswami etc. which I never imagined of.
Especially, the life of Narada muni has inspired me a lot and I am trying to follow those jewel like
qualities of His mentioned by you.
Its been 9 months since I have been given LLP preacher service. Trying to carry out your orders on field
practically is itself an adventurous activity in the service of Krishna. Today when I go outside, the
respect or time or importance or value that we are getting from people is just because of your movement
and just because we are your representatives. I never expected or even thought of big businessmen,
respected, age old people bowing down and touching my feet. My Master Srila
Prabhupada, its really an embarrassing moment, but please do forgive me for that, that I am unable to
stop them from doing so.
Srila Prabhupada, considering Preaching is the Essence as lifeline, I am trying to do my best in
preaching Krishna Consciousness and raising funds, for which your guidance is always required.
As I had already mentioned in my previous letter, that I am fortunate enough for being in the association
of real leaders, who are trying hard to keep up the esteem of your movement and you as the only
Spiritual Master of ISKCON and world forever.
When I see all the bogus gurus, unimportant so-called spiritualists, philosophers and philosophies being
projected, recognized in society I feel very bad about it. At the same time, I am told that they are like
glowworms found in the dark night, which will vanish or go unnoticed or wont have any power to show
off when the bright Sun comes up. Similarly, when the world would come to know you and your purity
of devotion to Lord Krishna, and since you being very dear to Lord Krishna, your glories, name, fame
will start shining back like a bright Sun, rising back from those post 1977 days.
Hoping, to the full extent of my heart, I want to see, experience, feel and be a part of those same old
glorious days of your time. This is what I pray to Krishna. In this regard, I am very fortunate enough to
be a part of the revolution being led by your true disciples like Madhu Pandit Prabhu, Chanchalapati
Prabhu etc.
Thank you once again Srila Prabhupada, for all those you have been bestowing upon this insignificant
fellow.
Jai Srila Prabhupada
Your servant forever,
Shyama Krishna Dasa

Please accept my humble obeisances unto our Lotus Feet.
My dear Srila Prabhupada, before coming in touch with you I was fully absorbed in fruitive mentality
and was full of lording over tendency. Your Divine Grace, I remember you had mentioned in one of the
purports (Narada Munis instructions in the first canto of SB), that lording over tendency is the biggest
obstacle in the stage of anartha nivvrtti. My dear Prabhupada, after hearing from you my desires to lord
it over has been reduced to a great extent.
Your Divine Grace, by Your causeless mercy I came to know how the living entities, right from Brahma
to the small ant within the material world are suffering from birth, death, old age, and disease and the 3
fold miseries - adyatmika,adhibautika and adhidaivika kleshas.
Your Divine Grace, it is only after many many millions of years one may come to know that Vaasudeva is
the cause of all causes. By Your grace I came to know that Vaasudeva is the cause of all causes and got
the opportunity to dedicate my life and serve Vaasudeva through your instructions. By Your grace I came
to know Lord Krishna is the Supreme Personality of Godhead. If I had not come in touch with you I
would have got entangled in many sinful activities. My dear Srila Prabhupada, You really protected me
from the entanglement of materialistic life. My dear Srila Prabhupada it is by your grace I came to know
that I am part and parcel of Krishna and my duty is to serve Krishna. My dear Srila Prabhupada please
protect me from maya, and please give me the inspiration to serve their Lordships Radha Krishna
Chandra, Krishna Balaram, Nitai Guranga, Prahlada Narasimha and Srinivasa Govinda with my body,
mind and words. My dear Srila Prabhupada I desire that your purports may completely fill my thinking,
feeling and willing always 24 hours a day. My dear Srila Prabhupada I should not have any other desire
except satisfying your desires.
My dear Prabhuapada, Your so-called ISKCON, Mumbai devotees are imitating like acharyas. It is like
someone imitating Shivas drinking posion. Your Divine Grace, ISKCON Mumbai devotees are putting
lot of obstacles in spreading your mission at our ISKCON, Bangalore. My dear Prabhupada, Krishna can
always be purchased by his pure devotees. If a pure devotee like You informs Krishna about the current
problems ISKCON Bangalore is facing due to ISKCON Mumbai, then Krishna would definitely protect
us from all difficulties. I pray to You and beg You to inform Lord Krishna about our problems (how
ISKCON Mumbai is putting lot of obstacles) so that very soon all obstacles in the path of spreading
Chaitanya Mahaprabhus movement can be removed.
Please forgive me if I committed any offenses at your Lotus Feet unknowingly and for my inability to
follow all your instructions strictly,
I beg forgiveness for the offenses committed at my god brothers,
Your servant,
Sitakanta dasa.
Suguna Krishna Dasa
Our Dear loving spiritual master, Srila Prabhupada,
Since You are always watching me, You know, in what hopeless condition I am, what a nasty character I
am. Of course the only good fortune of mine is that I, being very fallen, have become the target of Your
Divine Causeless mercy- which is the characteristic of a Pure and most merciful devotee of Krishna, as
confirmed by the prayers of Srila Rupa Goswami to Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu.
Dear Srila Prabhupada, I admit my rascaldom. I have failed to follow, execute, obey your instructions
and have lost the qualification to be your disciple. But there is no shelter/hope other than You. I have
never considered you seriously and have never taken up devotional service seriously. In other words I
have embraced the witch Maya. You also know that I was foolishly considering the thought of leaving
VyasaPuja2011

ashram and you saved me. Whether that is a stage all have to cross or whether that was an indication of
my fall down, I do not know.
My dear Lord, I always seek your divine association & service unto you to constantly engage me, for I
understand by your causeless mercy that there is no better person to associate/serve than You, in the
entire creation. O Lord, please fulfill this only desire of mine that I always engage in your service, even
forcefully, till I become pure by constant service to You, and finally surrender to your lotus feet.
Your servant,
Suguna Krishna Das
Surabhi Devi Dasa
My dear Srila Prabhupada.
Please accept my respectful obeisances to you.
First of all I want to convey my gratitude and thank you for allowing me to serve Your grace and their
Lordships Sri Sri Radha Krishna Chandra, Sri Sri Krishna Balarama, Sri Sri Nitai Gauranga, Sri Srinivasa
Govinda and Sri Prahalada Narasimha. How could I possibly get even a glance of their Lordships without
your causeless mercy? Thank you for giving this unworthy soul also a share of your mercy.
We have learnt from you that the human life is the most auspicious and favorable opportunity to serve
the Lord and go back to Godhead. It is a must that all the human beings follow the four regulative
principles and aim at the perfection of life. Otherwise human or dogs, all are the same. One day it so
happened that I saw a black ant lay dead at your Lotus Feet of your Deity . What a holy death! Dying at
the feet of an empowered Acharya like you!! I dont know in what consciousness that ant died, but no
doubt it is the most auspicious death. I thought, who knows what is in our consciousness when we die,
despite all our effort to achieve perfection- the art of dying, we may ultimately end in the most wretched
forms of life unless you bless us with your causeless mercy. Hope I had taken the form of that black ant
than dying without following your instructions. But since I am already trapped in this human dress
please allow me to serve Your grace by serving Your instructions, which is the highest transcendental
activity one can ever imagine.
When I stand before the Deities I say O Lord, all the great souls have called you Urukrama, Adhokshaja
etc., which means on a whole You are not easily understood because the Your glories are so great. So
how can an unintelligent person like me pray or glorify You? My vocabulary is not very good to offer
prayers and glorify You with very good words. So my only wish is that, please make me a sincere servant
of Srila Prabhupada. Because He is the mercy personified who can lead us to You and also because I have
full faith that surrender to Srila Prabhupada is directly proportional to the surrender to Lord Krishna.
At last I want to again thank you Srila Prabhupada, for giving us the association of such wonderful
devotees who are your most sincere disciples. We, the devotees of ISKCON, Bangalore, are no doubt the
most fortunate devotees in the whole world who are under the direct guidance of the most sincere
disciples of your Divine Grace. Srila Prabhupada, You are aware of the present situation in relation to
your succession caused by our so called God brothers. I dont understand why you are exhibiting this
lila, but I know that you are directly protecting us. The strong fort of faith on the Spiritual Master and
following his instructions shall surely protect us from any kind of danger, of course, only if you
sanction. So Srila Prabhupada, please help us sustain this faith and strengthen it more and more by your
boundless mercy.
Thank you for everything.
Aspiring to be your sincere disciple,
Surabhi Devi Dasi.

Vainateya Dasa
Please accept my most respectful obeisances unto your Lotus Feet. All glories to Your Divine Grace.
By some good fortune, I have come in contact with Your preaching mission and Your mercy has enabled
me to become an integral part of it. I sometimes wonder how such a person like me (who wanted to
enjoy name, fame, money etc.) can practice spiritual life in the association of devotees. This is definitely
because of Your causeless mercy. It by Your mercy that I have got an opportunity to participate in the
mission of Krishna. Its not an ordinary thing to live in the house of Sri Sri Radha-Krishna chandra. Let
me be grateful to you for imparting direction and meaning to my life, which otherwise would have been
wasted in meaningless pursuits.
Srila Prabhupada, even after getting Your causeless mercy, I'm afraid that I commit offenses by not
following your instructions and offending Vaishnavas. Please pardon me for whatever mistakes I have
done and make me a passenger in your ship for going Back To Godhead. Please make me a puppet in
your hands and serve Your instructions till the last breath of this body.
On this auspicious day, I beg You to bless me with the enthusiasm, patience and determination required
to execute Your instruction to
a) Chant 16 rounds of Hare Krishna mantra everyday without fail.
b) Follow the 4 regulative principles.
c) Follow the sadhana programme
d) Do practical devotional service just to please Your Divine Grace and Krishna (not for name and fame).
e) Serve all the Vaishnavas and co-operate with the temple authorities. Constantly be engaged in
devotional service with mind, body and words and to be within the four walls of ISKCON under any
circumstance.
Srila Prabhupada, please give me courage and buddhi to approach all kinds of people and bestow Your
mercy upon them and please let it fructify (while doing this activity, please help me, so that I don't
become proud, thinking I'm the doer and cause for everything).
Please help me always remain humble and never claim doership. Keep bestowing Your causeless mercy
upon me so that I could contribute something tangible to Your great movement.

Srila Prabhpada this year went off in a fraction of second. If I look into myself, I am surprised to see the
changes in my heart by your merciful glance. As Kunti Maharani prayed to Lord Krishna

All these cities and villages are flourishing in all respects because the herbs and grains are in
abundance, the trees are full of fruits, the rivers are flowing, the hills are full of minerals and the oceans
full of wealth. And this is all due to Your glancing over them.
Before coming in touch with your grace my life was confused without any goal and always dissatisfied
but by your glance on this most fallen soul my life has got a direction and my goals are set towards Lord,
otherwise I was floating in the waves of Maya with my so called friends and relatives
Srila Prabhupada your Hare Krishna Movement is an oasis in a desert. Without your movement this
world is a hell or decoration of a dead body - mandanam loka ranjanam, with so called temporary
entertainment of family life, wife, children etc.
Srila Prabhupada as you know, I am very neophyte, I do not know or understand the mood of worship, I
am committing so many offenses. But only due to your causeless mercy our Lordships Sri Sri Radha
Krishna Chandra, Sri Sri Krishna Balarama, Sri Sri Nitai Gauranga , Sri Srinivasa Govinda, Sri Prahlada
Narasimha, Bhakta Hanuman and Garudadev are accepting my offensive worship. I am really thankful to
you for giving me a little attraction to worship our Lordships and I am really thankful to our beloved
President Sriman Madhu Pandit Prabhu and other true devotees who were behind the construction of
this world class monument so that I can take shelter of you and the Deities.
Whatever I am enjoying today materially and spiritually is only because of your causeless mercy. As you
know, where ever we go we can see only Mayas attractions, and Kali yuga ramping up. Practicing Bhakti
yoga with these many facilities is unimaginable. This shows your compassion to most fallen souls like
me, so you are Patita Pavana. I offer my special obeisances for all these arrangements you have given
me. In spite of all these arrangements, I am so fallen that only you can know and understand my
condition. I cannot recognize being fully immersed in this Maya world and trying to enjoy. I am neither
feeling for your movement nor your instructions. So please give me special shelter and bless me with
more seriousness to understand your philosophy and advance in spiritual life and not to slip into this
gham andha-kpam.
Srila Prabhupada I am really thankful to you for all the things you have given me in the form of temple,
deities, prasadam, charanamrutha, Deity worship, devotees association. I am really enjoying each and
every aspect as if I will never get this opportunity if I miss them. Please therefore bless me to continue
my service to your lotus feet and to Their Lordships.
Srila Prabhupada, now I understand that only your instructions are the drivers of enthusiasm to do
service. Therefore I need to be always in touch with your instructions by continuously reading your
books and listening to your lectures and discussing with my devotee friends. Srila Prabhupada give me
the right intelligence to focus on right things to understand your mission and feel for the same
absolutely without any contamination and carry on my spiritual activities under your guidance and
under the guidance of your true followers.
Srila Prabhupada, I personally convey my thanks to you and Their Lordships for the protection and
staunch faith being given to all Bangalore devotees during the recent crisis created by your opposing
elements. By this achievement you have set an example that whatever may happen to this world your
movement will flourish in this material world and wipe out all other opposing elements and as per your
desire Hare Krishna Maha Mantra will spread in every nook and corner of this world. The future
generations will only know Bhaktivedanta purports and nothing else. All other translations and purports
will be wiped out and you will forever remain the Founder Acharya of this ISKCON branch of the Sri
Chaitanya Mahaprabhu's devotional tree.
Srila Prabhupada please give me benediction to understand your philosophy thoroughly and improve my
preaching skills as per your desire and protect me not to fall for name and fame. Make me always
remember that you are the cause of my preaching - mukam karoti vachalam, and everything coming out
of me is your causeless mercy. This is one hundred percent fact.

Srila PrabhuPada please bring me to a stage where I will only desire to be your humble servant life after
life and desire nothing other than this in this material world. I am only praying not to get entangled in
this material world again. Please bless this most fallen soul. With this I am ending my offering at your
lotus feet.

Dear Prabhupada, you said only most fortunate soul by the grace of Krishna, spiritual master receives the
seed off devotional service as if proving the statement or sastra you appeared in this material world and
distributed love of KRISHNA devotional service to KRISHNA every to the most fallen. One of these most
fallen soul is this who is always materialistic most sinful.
Prabhupada even a most fallen person like me sustain in this movement, associate with devotees. Take
prasadam serve the lord personally etc., because our cousin compassionate upon me. Without your
guidance, compassion mercy I would have not been here for these many years.
Prabhupada even though you give me all facilities to advance in Krishna Conscious. I am struggling to
fallow your instructions always getting up, falling getting up falling beaten up by
Prabhupada being me to fallow your instructions, give me attachment from thing material world. Pure
devotion to Radha Krishna, I compassion to breath your message to every one, enjoying in your
bhaktivedantha purpose always, I always singing the glories of Radha Krishna.
Finally Prabhupada we want you to see the soul likes a guru, one and only guru of ISKCON movement.
So that whole world, every one can practice KRISHNA can without any fear, which is a very rare gift.
Please give us strength to __z____ and serve you sincerely to put you back to your position.

Veda Vyasa Dasa
Please accept my humble obeisances unto Your Lotus Feet. You have initiated me this year by showing
Your causeless mercy. By Your mercy I have been engaged in the service of Your mission. Dry mental
speculation and powerful material nature are becoming constant obstacles in devotional service. I am
trying to measure the spiritual potency of Your instructions with my foolish intelligence. I pray for Your
causeless mercy to overcome such obstacles. The false ego that which is unfavorable to devotional
service is forcing me to be a non recipient of Your mercy. The association of Your kind devotees is giving
me constant strength to be engaged in Your service without which I might have become a prey for maya.
Caught up between the dualities I am continuously struggling while engaging in the service. The hope of
being conscious of Guru and Krishna gives knowledge to identify such dualities. When the future
appears to be problematic, this hope rejuvenates me to move forward.
Your spiritual strength is continuously giving us protection from the attack of self proclaimed Gurus.
You have saved us on a number of occasions.
Dear Srila Prabhupada, I beg for Your forgiveness against the offenses that I have committed at Your
Lotus Feet.

Please accept my humble obeisances at Your Lotus Feet on this most auspicious day of Your appearance.
I am the most unfortunate fallen soul carried away by false and temporary sense enjoyment but by Your
causeless mercy today I have become most fortunate soul to be in ISKCON MOVEMENT especially in
ISKCON BENGALURU where everyone directly surrendered to You and rendering service in spreading
Krishna consciousness.
We are seeing how good it is to render devotional service under the guidance of a pure devotee like You.
Many times I feel when will the day come where all ISKCON devotees serve under Your shelter as a
disciple of Yours, like how it was happening before 1977 in ISKCON.
I am fortunate to be in the association of devotees. Still I am carried away by false ego and not taking
Krishna consciousness seriously.
Please bless me with Krishna Bhakthi and give me the spiritual strength to serve You.
Your most fallen soul

Please accept my humble obeisances on this auspicious occasion of your 115
th
divine appearance day.
I was a most foolish person, loitering in this material world. I was attached to so called family and
friends thinking them to be all in all. I had innumerable material desires and working hard hard to fulfill
those desires. I used to get afraid when ever I got a thought of joining in your mission. But, after joining
I feel that I am unlimitedly fortunate to be a part of your divine mission. In the material world, I have
seen everyone wants to become masters of others, but here is in your home I see that every one is
wanting to become servant of others. This is a unique experience of my life.
You have very expertly given us the morning sadana programme which is the essence of all the
instructions in the Vedic scriptures for anyone to make rapid advancement in spiritual life. Just as a
child when he brought up from English parents could comfortable speak English, in the same way just
by being and serving in your mission any person's heart gets cleansed. Even though everyone has got
different prospectives, view points,way of thinking, You have taught us to keep Krishna in center and
dovetail all our abilities for His pleasure with mutual cooperation. This I am now practically seeing in
your mission.
You have given me an opportunity to stay with your sincere devotees by whose association and guidance
I am able to realize my anartas. Kindly bestow your mercy upon me to overcome these anarthas and
become a sincere servant.
Srila Prabhupada, I feel so much immersed in reading your books, Your every statement touches my
heart and makes me humble. I feel indebted to you at the core of my heart for this super excellent
contribution. I eternally offer my humble obeisances at your lotus feet. My dear Prabhupada I desire to
serve you as my eternal master. My dear Prabhupada, Maya is always alluring me by presenting various
sense objects. Please bestow your causeless mercy so that I can withstand all such allurements and serve
your mission with one pointed attention.
Srila Prabhupada, I am trying to do my service to the best of my abilities. Please forgive all my offenses
that I might have committed knowingly or unknowingly.
Your eternal servant, Vilasa Vigraha Dasa.

Virupaksha Dasa
It is the duty of the disciple to glorify the spiritual master everywhere and always but I am so fallen that
what to talk of it, even to write a Vyasa Puja offering has become a difficult task. Srila Prabhupada, there
is so much to glorify about you but being engrossed in my own concocted priorities I kept the most
important duty aside. This it self shows how fallen I am. Kindly pardon me for this offense. Please bless
me that I follow the dharma of being a disciple nicely.
This year we got a glimpse of the dark shadow of the court case that covered the holy Iskcon of yours.
The shadow went away but brought us so many realizations. It reawakened the missionary spirit within
us. Taught us how to depend upon Krishna. Increased the love towards you and Sri Sri Radha
Krishnachandra. Opened our eyes towards our good fortune of being here. Even though turmoils come
and go Lord Krishna is mercifully protecting us. What contribution I am actually making towards your
mission is nothing compared to all others. Seeing the hard work of our authorities to protect this temple
I felt that I am not doing even a penny worth of service to this movement.
Your glorification in not complete without glorifying your ISKCON and its management. This is the
safest place in the entire universe. Looking at ISKCON Bangalore and then looking at rest of the Iskcon
movement, and then looking at myself in ISKCON Bangalore only one thing comes to my mind you
are an unlimited ocean of causeless mercy and by that causeless mercy only you have brought me here
and are keeping me here. In spite of all my false ego and rebellious tendencies you are keeping me here
in the personal service of Sri Sri Radha Krishnachandra. Directly and through the authority system you
have always guided and protected me Srila Prabhupada. The authorities in this temple are your true
representatives; compassionate and free from envy and selfishness. Because of their compassion today I
and my wife are able to serve your mission as full time devotees, which is the greatest benediction in the
entire universe. Not only we are able to serve but we are so secure and happy too. A million thankful
obeisances unto you Srila Prabhupada. Seeing what is happening in rest of the Iskcon I feel, destiny
could have taken me anywhere but then mercifully you pulled me out from this vicious cycle of karma
and brought to this Vaikuntha. In the entire world Iskcon Bangalore is the only place where a person can
claim to be yours and yourself to be his. What can be a greater benediction than this, Srila Prabupada. I
do not know how many punyas one should have done in order to get the privilege of saying, I am Srila
Prabhupadas disciple. So greatly unfortunate are those who even after coming to Iskcon have happily
given themselves unto bogus people. Because devotees here are in direct connection with you thats why
there is a Vaikuntha atmosphere here.
Shamefully I admit again that I am still unable to read your books. I dont know when will I be able to
read. The shower of your blessings is constantly there but like a hard rock I am not absorbing it. The
more I introspect, more I realize that in the matter of spiritual advancement I have not achieved
anything. There are so many vices firmly sitting within my heart, but there is a sincere urge to become
an ideal disciple of yours. Everytime I take vow to move in this direction, maya devi checks me and
slams me nicely. On my own I am a ruined soul but in the association of your devotees I am sure that I
will be safe. Just as you had said in one lecture that thinking of Krishna is very easy but in association of
devotees, not alone; alone you will go to hell. I realize this truth very well, Prabhupada, thats why I beg
before you that please always keep me in association of your devotees and that too only in your Iskcon.
This is my sincere prayer to Your Divine Grace. Kindly bless me that I serve your instructions very nicely
and this head of mine eternally remains stuck to your lotus feet.
Virupaksha Dasa.

Please accept my humble obeisances at Your Divine Lotus Feet on this holy day of Sri Vyasa Puja.
I offer my respectful obeisance unto my spiritual master, who has opened my eyes, blinded by the
darkness of ignorance, with his teaching.
I am not qualified to glorify you; I have absolutely no qualification for your mercy. So when I think how
low I am, my heart grows heavy. But when I remember Your Divine Grace, I have great hope for myself.
For surely it is of no quality of my own, but your own causeless love and mercy. Surely if one as fallen as
I can obtain your mercy, then no one can be beyond your mercy. Oh srila Prabhupad, Your love for us is
a boon over me and all fallen souls and I fear we are drowning in an ocean of nescience. I can never
appreciate your causeless love and mercy.
Begging you to keep us forever in the Divine Service of your and Radha krsna candra.

Due to ignorance I cant understand what is the purpose of life, but your grace coming to material world
to establish the religious principles for the deliverance of the conditioned souls. Your appearance in the
material world is similar to supreme lord Krishna, in the sense there is no difference between your
purpose and Krishnas purpose. The purpose is,
As you mentioned in srimad bhagavatam
A human being should not work hard like dogs & cats for sense gratification. The human life is
especially meant for the revival of our relationship with the Supreme lord. To attain this perfection
one has to take shelter of a devotee & serve him. Then the door of liberation will be open. Those who
are materially attached to women and sense gratification gradually become entangled in material
consciousness and suffer the miseries of birth, old age, disease, and death. Those who are engaged in the
general welfare of all and who are not attached to children and family are called MAHATMAS. Those
who are engaged in sense gratification, who act piously or impiously, cannot understand the purpose of
the soul. Therefore they should approach a highly elevated devotee and accept him as a spiritual master
by his association; one will be able to understand the purpose of life. Under the instruction of such
a spiritual master one can attain devotional service to the lord. Detachment from material things, and
tolerance of material misery and distress.
But sometimes unscrupulous people in the dress of vaishnavas spoil whole religious principles. And in
this way they put obstacles for delivering the conditioned souls.
Your grace have mentioned in the srimad bhagavatam.4.28.49
Whenever an crya comes, following the superior orders of the Supreme Personality of Godhead or his
representative, he establishes the principles of religion, as enunciated in Bhagavad-git. Religion means
abiding by the orders of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Religious principles begin from the time
one surrenders to the Supreme Personality of Godhead. It is the crya's duty to spread a bona fide
religious system and induce everyone to bow down before the Supreme Lord. One executes the religious
principles by rendering devotional service, specifically the nine items like hearing, chanting and
remembering. Unfortunately, when the crya disappears, rogues and non-devotees take advantage and
immediately begin to introduce unauthorized principles in the name of so-called svmis, yogis,
philanthropists, welfare workers and so on. Actually, human life is meant for executing the orders of the
Supreme Lord, and this is stated in Bhagavad-git (9.34):
man-man bhava mad-bhakto mad-yji mm namaskuru
mm evaishyasi yuktvaivamtmnam mat-paryanah
"Engage your mind always in thinking of me and become my devotee. Offer obeisances and worship Me.
Being completely absorbed in me, surely you will come to me."
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 crya, the
authorized representative of the Supreme Lord, establishes these principles, but when he disappears,
VyasaPuja2011

things once again become disordered. The perfect disciples of the crya 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 Krishna 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.(SB 4.28.49)
After your disappearance your so called disciples in the name of guru, spoiled the whole atmosphere in
ISKCON.
Making disciples, getting guru dakshina, grand puja for themselves, and misusing the temple money. In
this way they are cheating innocent people. And they are telling, for spiritual progress of the disciple
physical guru is required. But your grace, never mentioned any where.
In the Srimad Bhagavatam you mentioned :
The disciple and spiritual master are never separated because the spiritual master always keeps company
with the disciple as long as the disciple follows strictly the instructions of the spiritual master. This is
called the association of vni (words). Physical presence is called vapuh. As long as the spiritual master
is physically present, the disciple should serve the physical body of the spiritual master, and when the
spiritual master does no longer physically exist, the disciple should serve the instructions of the spiritual
master.
A devoted disciple of the spiritual master would rather die with the spiritual master than fail to execute
the spiritual master's mission. As the Supreme Personality of Godhead comes down upon this earth to
reestablish the principles of religion, so His representative, the spiritual master, also comes to reestablish
religious principles. It is the duty of the disciples to take charge of the mission of the spiritual master
and execute it properly. Otherwise the disciple should decide to die along with the spiritual master. In
other words, to execute the will of the spiritual master, the disciple should be prepared to lay down his
life and abandon all personal considerations.(SB 4.28.51)
I have full faith in you and your instructions I dont know except your divine grace as my spiritual
master. Whether I leave or die I dont know anyone but you. Please accept me as your weapon and use
whichever way you want.

All Glories To His Divine grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupda
I was born in the darkest ignorance, and my Spiritual Master A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupda
opened my eyes with the torch of knowledge. I offer my most humble & respectful obeisances unto Him.

Its said in r Caitanya-caritmta madhya lila19.151
brahma bhramite kona bhgyavn jva
guru-ka-prasde pya bhakti-lat-bja
Out of many millions of wandering living entities, one who is very fortunate gets an opportunity to
associate with a bona fide Spiritual Master by the grace of Ka. By the mercy of both Ka and the
Spiritual Master, such a person receives the seed of the creeper of devotional service.
O Srila prabhupada, Before coming to contact with your own movement ISKCON,Bangalore, I was like a
two-legged animal wandering here and there for little happiness. I was simply wasting my time and
energy in playing cricket, watching movies and gossiping nonsense and indulged in unmentionable
VyasaPuja2011

sinful activities. But in 2006, when I read Your divine book Journey Of Self Discovery which one of
my roommate had purchased from ISKCON, Bangalore, I was really convinced by your logic, arguments
and analogies with which you present. We are not this body but we are spirit soul and Krishna is
Supreme Personality of Godhead. Later I attended Yoga retreat level-1 program and started following
the 21- day schedule which was given at the end of the session with chanting 1 round of Hare Krishna
Mahamantra daily. In one month I saw a complete change in my thinking, behaving and many other
activities. Thus I was firmly convinced and accepted You as My Spritual Master. After that I saw Your
personal guidance and protection to me for advancing in KC.
Moreover its said in Bhagavad gita (7.28)
ye tv anta-gata ppa jann puya-karmam
te dvandva-moha-nirmuktbhajante m dha-vrat
Persons who have acted piously in previous lives and in this life and whose sinful actions are
completely eradicated are freed from the dualities of delusion, and they engage themselves in My service
with determination. Here I realized that You are so merciful. Even though I am most sinful and fallen
soul, still You accepted and allowed me to join your ISKCON, Bangalore movement and engaged me in
the service of Your Lotus Feet and Supreme Personality of Godhead, Krishna.
O my beloved spiritual master rla Prabhupda, this material world is like ocean of miseries which is
very difficult to cross but whoever take the shelter of this transcendental boat Chaitanya Mahaprabhu
sankirtan movement of which You are the Captain will easily cross over this material world and attain
Supreme Abode of Krishna.
Begging to remain Your servant eternally

Hare Krishna Prabhupadaji,
Kindly accept my humble obeisances unto your lotus feet.
PRABHUPAD whenever I hear or read or chant this word, it connects me with KRISHNA. Krishna
comes to impure persons like us though his Pure Devotees like you Prabhupad. Srila Prabhupada the
way in which you presented Krishna to this world shows that how merciful you are on the jives of this
world. You was always chanting Krishna in your heart.
Prabhupad, I am remembering that day when first time I touched you in Krishna-Balaram Temple
Vrindavan. Now I am realizing that how you saved my life to pulled me towards Krishna. Now because
of your grace and mercy I have joined your movement, who is a pure devotee of Krishna.
Prabhupad, at the time of joining your movement I was having only desire, I now also I am expressing
same desire that My only desire is to spread your this Krishna consciousness movement according to
your desires by following you each and every instructions and orders As it is, as a Bramachari
throughout the life.
My respected spiritual master now I am a lazy, less intelligent, dull and untrained soldier of your Army.
But still I want to fulfill your each of every desire.
Stile Prabhupad, please help me, please guide me. Please help me to practice the principles of Krishna
consciousness strictly with determination, patience and enthusiasm.
Please help me to chant Hare Krishna Maha-mantra purely, offencelessly.
Wishing you 115th Birthday
Yours Servant, Bhakta Mahendra
VyasaPuja2011

Bhakta Mohan N
This year Vyasapuja is very special to me because, I am celebrating as a dedicated missionary in Your
glorious organization. It's only by the causeless mercy of You, Gauranga and all the Vaishnavas, that I
am here today. I really feel that I am the most fortunate person in this world because, a worthless stone
like me has found a place among your collection of the rarest of jewels, the dedicated missionaries in this
organization. In this context, I would like to recall one of Your purports in the Bhagavad gita. Because a
bona fide Spiritual Master is a representative of Ka, if he bestows any blessings upon His disciple, that
will make the disciple immediately advanced without the disciple's following the regulated
principles(Bg 13.8-12 purport). This truly applies to me.
After joining your movement one very valuable lesson I learnt is 'Purification is the most important
thing for a jiva to realize that he is eternally related with the Lord as His part and parcel' and also 'Purity
is the force'. So on this day I beg Your causeless mercy on this unqualified, useless, unfit jiva to progress
on this path of devotional service very seriously utilizing every moment of my life in serving You life
after life.
When a man is attached to material enjoyment, he is attached to many miserable conditions, but
nevertheless he accepts his condemned position as one of happiness. Sense enjoyment is so strong for
such a person that he cannot give it up, exactly as a worm in stool cannot give up the stool. From the
spiritual point of view, when a person is too absorbed in material enjoyment, he is exactly like a worm in
stool.(CC Antya 6.197 purport).
Dear Srila Prabhupada, at present my position is of like a worm in the stool. Please lift me out of this
precarious condition and keep me eternally engaged at the service of Your lotus feet eternally.
r-guru-carae rati, ei se uttama-gati, je prasde pre sarva
Attachment to His Lotus Feet is the best way to make spiritual advancement. His mercy fulfills all
desires for spiritual perfection.
Dear Srila Prabhupada, please bless me with the strength to be attached to Your Lotus Feet eternally.
The best service to the people in general is to awaken them to Ka consciousness so that they may
know that the Supreme Enjoyer, the Supreme Proprietor and the Supreme Friend is Ka. Then this
illusory dream of lording it over material nature will vanish. (SB 3.27.4)
After coming to Krishna consciousness, my joy in life has no bounds, but what about those unlimited
number of living entities who are still in the darkness of this material existence. I beg You to make me a
good instrument in Your hands, by blessing me with the ability to take this eternal knowledge to
whomever I come across in my life. I consider this life of mine to be worthwhile, even if a small
contribution can be made to your glorious movement by this insignificant jiva.
Thank you Prabhupada for all that You have bestowed upon me and will be bestowing in the future.
Jagadguru Srila Prabhupada ki jai!

Bhakta Nishank
I offer my humble obeisances unto You on this auspicious occasion of Your divine appearance. I am very
thankful to You for accepting me as Your servant among billions of living entities suffering in this
material world, although I am not qualified for this. But somehow by the causeless mercy of the lord I
got in touch with You. Otherwise I would have wasted this rare opportunity of human birth in mundane
VyasaPuja2011

activities. And that too when the Golden Period of Lord Caitanya's movement is going on. Because if
anyone does not surrender to KRISHNA now then it won't be possible for him for millions of lives. But
just see my conditioning that still I am not serious.
The way You have presented the philosophy of Krishna consciousness is very appealing especially for
this age where people can't think beyond sense gratification. Before coming in touch with You I too was
passionate about the same. But You brought me out from this deep illusion created by maya.
Please bless me so that I can chant the Holy Name attentively and dovetail my passion in preaching

Dear Srila Prabhupada.
Thank you Srila Prabhupada, for accepting me as one of your disciples. All glories to Srila Prabhupada
on this most auspicious occasion of your appearance within this world. I thank Srila Prabhupada for the
causeless mercy that Srila Prabhupada has showered on me by which I have been given an opportunity
to practice Krishna Consiousness at ISKCON Bangalore ashram. I thank Srila Prabhupada for giving me
this opportunity of serving Srila Prabhupada's ISKCON movement as a dedicated member of the society.
By the grace and causeless mercy of Srila Prabhupada I was able to select the right path of my life, at a
time when there was no direction in my life, Srila Prabhupada guided me to the right path of Krishna
Consiousness, because of which I am now able to perceive the real aim of my life. By your grace Srila
Prabhupada I am learning how to offer all my activities to Your Divine Grace and thereby become happy
and find meaning to my fallen life and I am also learning how to tell others of this message so that they
may be benefited by Your association and I am slowly trying to learn how to develop the sincerity to try
to please You so that Krishna is pleased. In the course of my daily activities I see so many people
wandering on the brink of disaster that I cannot but wonder why only a few are so fortunate as to be
chosen to fit the exalted position of acting as servants of the Servant of the Supreme Personality of
Godhead, Sri Krishna. If only everyone could come in contact with Srila Prabhupada, that would be the
greatest thing that could ever happen. It is my joy to know that Lord Krishna exists, and the
unquestionable proof is to come in contact with Srila Prabhupada. Srila Prabhupada's transcendental
qualities are above everything to be experienced in this material world. My incapable words of praise are
like trying to show someone the sun with a candle. My only happiness is to remember that You are fully
present with me always by Your divine instructions. By the mercy of Krishna one gets a spiritual master,
and by the mercy of the spiritual master one gets Krishna. I pray to always remember Your glories and
instructions so that I can be an humble instrument in Your great plan in serving Lord Chaitanyadeva, to
deliver the fallen souls drowning in the ocean of birth and death. My words are much too dry, too
materially contaminated to praise Your infinite mercy.
I pray to make Srila Prabhupada's instructions my life and soul and be able to follow Srila Prabhupada's
instructions as a humble servant and remain Srila Prabhupada's humble servant till my last breath.
All glories to you, Srila Prabhupada.

Bhakta Sandeep
Let me offer my humble obeisance unto you on the day of your divine appearance day I am eternally
grateful to you for saving me from this ocean of material suffering. It feels that I can never repay for what
VyasaPuja2011

you have given to me Srila Prabhupada you are so mercifully teaching us the great science of Krishna
consciousness. You have given us a very simple process by which we can know what the real aim of
human life is and I am so lazy that I am not taking it seriously. Srila Prabhupada my condition is like a
monkey who is having a diamond in his hand but he is such a fool that he does not know what he is
playing with, thinking of an ordinary stone. Srila Prabhupada you have came in this material world on
the order of Krishna which is the only way in this material world and going to our real home which is
eternal, full of bliss and knowledge and there is no more birth, death, old age and disease and by
following your instruction only one can surpass the darkness of this material world. In your book you
have explained this great science in simple language and I feel myself very fortunate that I am going in a
right direction. Srila Prabhupada your glories are infinite, I cant explain and also not able to explain.
On your appearance day please bless me so that I can understand your words and keep me always in the
shelter of your divine lotus feet.

My respectful obeisance unto your Lotus feet.
I was tossed by so called family, relatives, friends and I have become godasa. Do not know what to do
what not to do. Then I was put in to pitch dark place. After reading Srimad Bhagavad Gita and
VyasaPuja2011

Krishna, The Supreme Personality of Godhead, beam of ray entered through some sort of realizations
but in a perverted way. Again I have to face reactions wandered extensively for a search of Guru who
knows about Krishna.
By Krishnas grace I came in touch with you Srila Prabhupada. Just by dint of glance on your words, all
the miseries came to an end. Once I was proud of my position, name and fame, which automatically
evaporated.
I do not know how to be submissive with the vaishnavas. So please, Srila Prabhupada, guide me in all
circumstances. I decided to serve you eternally where you have shown the perfect path how to get
Krishna prema.
Srila Prabhupada I want to glorify you elaborately through actions but not with words.
Your trying to be humble servant,

Jai Srila Prabhupada!
Please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet . Srila Prabhupada , you are my savior. I was also
rotting in the deep ignorance like other billions of living entities, who are ignorant about the aim of life
but you saved me and showed me the right direction. Although I had no qualification, no intelligence,
still Srila Prabhupada, you selected me. I had so many plans & I was thinking of fulfilling those plans, I
was working towards achieving them. But you came to my life & showed me the right direction that our
aim is to serve Krishna. You have given us all facilities by which we can easily go back to godhead .You
are the most confidential messenger of the Supreme Lord carrying the topmost yoga system - Bhaki
yoga .
Although , I am trying sincerely to follow your instructions, still I get attracted to Maya. But you are
protecting me through your books & lectures. Please Srila prabhupada, keep protecting me like this so
that I may always remain in my constitutional position of serving the Supreme Personality of Godhead
Krishna.
All Glories to Srila Prabhupada !!

My Dear Prabhupada,
I offer my respectful obeisances at your lotus feet.
I came in touch with your teachings through one of your book. Science of Self Realisation in which
you have thoroughly explained the aim of human life, what is Guru, authorized system and parampara.
You have also explained that chanting the Holy name is the only way in this kaliyuga where everyone is
suffering. That book gave me a clear understanding of life. Before coming in touch with you I was
following other so called spiritual organization and was thinking that that was the best way, but your
causeless mercy brought me to KC which is natural to every jiva. I remember how you influenced my
heart to take up KC which is the rarest in this whole creation. I read your other books and understood
about your life and naturally got attracted to your pastimes on this earth. Prabhupada you went through
VyasaPuja2011

great austerity and penance to deliver fallen souls, you went to a foreign land where people were
completely absorbed in sinful activities like meat eating, illicit sex, gambling, intoxication but your
purity and faith in Krishna made them vaishnavas - the top most human beings on this planet. I was
thrilled to know that within a short span of 11 years your divine grace established 108 temples all over
the world, initiated 10,000 disciples (most of them with shaved head in dhoti kurta), your divine grace
circled this entire world 14 times was unbelievable history. Nobody could have performed such a
marvelous work ever before. The more I knew about you, my surrender towards you and your vani
increased more and more. You wrote the bhaktivedanta purports with hard labor and now whenever I
open your book I remember that at midnight you used to write or translate for me, then feeling of awe
and reverence comes in my mind to read your divine purport. Lots of anarthas are there with in me but
your purports are washing them day by day. Prabhupada kindly bless me with such intelligence which
will never allow me to stray away from the divine knowledge in the form of your purports which you
describe as my ECSTATIC REALIZATIONS. You say in Bhagvatam 1st canto one can see KRISHNA
face to face in your mysterious divine purport. This insignificant jiva is dependent completely on your
causeless mercy. Please Prabhupada kindly guide me, instruct me, help me to become fixed in KC .
Again and again I offer my humble obeisances at your lotus feet.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada,
your aspiring dasanudas,

Dear Prabhupada,
Please accept my humble obeisance towards your lotus feet.
You are very merciful on this fallen soul. I cant say how much merciful you have been on me through
this small letter. I am not eligible for all these services, but you have showered your causeless mercy on
me and have given me an opportunity to serve your movement.
Prabhupad I request you to please bless me to chant my rounds with devotion. I am confused many
times and get depressed and as a result I will not be able to chant, I chant forcefully. I can get faith on
chanting only by reading your books which I am not doing. I am getting into the clutches of maya day
by day. I beg you and fall at your lotus feet to save me from this ocean of Birth and Death.
Prabhupad I always remember one lecture of yours that is A devoted disciple of the Spiritual master
would rather die with the Spiritual master than fail to execute the Spiritual masters mission. I am not
able to execute my service to you my dear master.
I am drowning in the ocean of maya thinking that this is happiness. How should I come out from this?
Every day I ask this question to myself but I am not serious.
I dont have any schedule to start my day. If I get up for Mangalarthi I have some problem if I dont get
up I have some other problem. I am always confused and engaged in solving these material problems. I
am very much fed up of this confusion. Only by your mercy I can come out of this. I dont know how
you have kept me in your movement. If you would have not shown your causeless mercy I would have
got lost in this material world long back.
I beg you to keep me at your service. I request you to give me devotion towards Krishnas lotus feet. I
thank you for your causeless mercy.
I thank Krishna for giving me a great Spiritual master. I dont expect any position or name or fame my
only request towards you is dont let me go anywhere away from your movement.
If I have meant any wrong statement or any wrong sentence in this offerings to you please forgive me.
Prabhupada till my last breathe of my life I want to serve your movement.
JAI SRILA PRABHUPADA.

Please accept my respectful obeisances at your lotus feet.
Please forgive me for being one of the last few to submit this offering on the auspicious occasion of your
115
th
appearance day.
You have given this wretched soul the most special blessing of having a shelter at the safest place on the
planet Your lotus feet. In spite of being an unworthy recipient of such a wonderful blessing I
understand what my position is when I was not able to spend even a little time to glorify Your Divine
Grace.
Before coming to your shelter how precarious my life was! And now how secure my life is, in this safest
place! Being causelessly merciful you have taken me from that world and put me at Your lotus feet.
Thank You Srila Prabhupada!
Words always fail when I want to express my gratitude to you for all that you have given me in my life,
Srila Prabhupada. Sometimes I have even come with adamant or actually arrogant demands How
merciful you are that by blessing me with every such thing you have saved me from committing more
offenses at Your lotus feet Thank You Srila Prabhupada!
In a letter written in July 1976, Your Divine Grace said, It is not possible for the disciple to repay the
debt to the spiritual master. Therefore the disciple remains eternally indebted to the spiritual master and
continually works in such a way that the spiritual master may become pleased upon him for such sincere
services rendered.
So please bless me that I start rendering my services sincerely, wherever I am, and try to please Your
Divine Grace by pleasing my immediate authorities. Please continue to forgive me for all the offenses
that I am committing everyday knowingly and unknowingly and please do not deprive me of this
secured shelter at this safest place.
Dear Prabhupada, we are praying to Lord every day that your rightful position in this temple as the sole
Diksha Guru of ISKCON never be disturbed. Please continue to guide us so that very soon all this
anxiety gets over and we continue to serve Your Divine Graces mission life after life.
Praying that I always remain your servant,
Bhaktin Sripriya.

I Offer my respectful obeisance to our spiritual master, A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, who is
our only real and eternal father, has given us the desire to serve eternally in the position of a
transcendental worker in the Hare Krishna Movement and Srila Prabhupadas ISKCON Bangalore.
rla Prabhupda, you have instructed us that Purity is the force, Preaching is the essence, Books
are the basis, and Utility is the principle.I see that all these instructions are followed rigidly and
vigorously in Bangalore ISKCON.
The self appointed gurus instructions are Penny is the force, Propagating false allegation against Srila
Prabhupadas dedicated devotees is the essence, False documents are the basis, utility of media to
malign Bangalore ISKCON is the principle.
Srila Prabhupada, by following your instructions Bangalore ISKCON is leading in book distribution and
Prasadam distribution. Expansions into various centres, having more than 300 full time dedicated
devotees, receiving over 30 lakh visitors every year and having many projects that can qualify as national
heritage sites in future, distributing prasadam to millions of people. As you have said Judge by results. So
there is no doubt that you are pleased with the programs conducted by your chaste and dedicated
disciples of ISKCON Bangalore, Srila Prabhupada, You are the inspiring and mobilizing force behind all
such accomplishments.
Self appointed gurus wants to pull down the devotees of ISKCON Bangalore by filing false litigations,
maligning campaigns, usage of some politicians with vested interests, presenting false charges in the
media. Envious gurus have caused a great violence and great harm to your International Society for
Krishna Consciousness, to your very body and very self, as you have told us that you are not different
from ISKCON. Surely they will ultimately burn to ashes in the fire of their own envy.
By following self appointed envious gurus instructions 95% of your disciples left ISKCON, Children
from ISKCON gurukul were betrayed by child abuse, many temples went bankrupt due to misuse and
squandering of funds, large properties of ISKCON sold.
mka karoti vcla pagu laghayate girim
yat-kp tam aha vande r-guru dna-traam
Thank you, Srila Prabhupada, for giving me this opportunity to engage in your devotional service under
your chaste disciples. I am trying my best to be a good servant, and all that I have in this world and in
my spiritual life has truly come by your divine grace. I am not very good in glorifying you. I have many
faults and shortcomings, but I do have desire to serve you always .May your fame and glories be spread
all over the three worlds. All that I have in this world and in my spiritual life has truly come by your
divine grace.
Please accept my humble obeisance in the dust of your lotus feet! All glories to you! All glories to your
dedicated servants who are trying their best to bring back the glories of Your ISKCON which is non
different from yourself.
Yours eternal servant

My dear Srila Prabhupada, please accept my respectful obeisances unto You.
Srila Prabhupada, your mind is always fixed on Lotus feet of Lord Krishna. Kindly show me with Your
mercy how my intelligence is full of faults and how my mind is crazy. Therefore I am completely
surrendering onto You. Please instruct me and guide me. I am remembering Sridhara Swamys prayers
to Spiritual Master. Oh Lord please keep me on Your Lotus Feet and instruct me, guide me & constantly
engage me in Your service.
Surrendered souls, even from groups leading sinful lives, such as women, the laborer class, the
mountaineers and the Siberians, or even the birds and beasts, can also know about the science of
Godhead and become liberated from the clutches of the illusory energy by surrendering unto the pure
devotees of the Lord and by following in their footsteps in devotional service. (S.B. 2.7.46)
The loving representative of the Lord is more kind and more easy to approach because a sinful soul
cannot approach the Lord directly. But such a sinful man can very easily approach the Pure Devotee of
the Lord. He can also understand the science of God and can also become like a transcendental pure
devotee of the Lord, and thus get his liberation back to God, back home for eternal happiness.
Srila Prabhupada, the above statement shows how important it is to approach a bonafide Spiritual Master
and get instructions from Him to make our valuable life perfect in devotional service.
Divine grace Srila Prabhupada, Your 115
th
Vyasa puja day is very auspicious to me & to all your disciples
for remembering the glories of Your Divine Grace.
Srila Prabhupada, I am a very fortunate person. I got shelter under Your dedicated disciples for spiritual
perfection.
Srila Prabhupada, please keep me at Your Lotus Feet and constantly engage me in Your service and give
me remembrance to meditate on Your instructions always and not to deviate from devotional service.

In the middle of huge ocean there were many people floating on the water. They could only see four
directions and they were suffering by three big waves they could not think anything else, suddenly one
fine day one boats man appeared there with his boat after seeing suffering of the people he become so
compassion to them out of his causeless mercy he started calling everybody to climb his boat to come
to the shore, but only few fortunate people boarded the boat then boats man started his journey towards
the sea shore, he was very expert boats man very expertly he drew the boat on to the shore after reaching
the sea shore that people could see sandy beach, small rocky hills on right side many big trees front and
left side then the boats man started even guiding them to cross even that forest, then everybody entered
the forest walking behind the boats man after walking some time inside the forest some people become
prey to the forest animals like Lion & Tiger etc., those who neglected his instruction and those who
could not follow him.
After little further some people became enamored by fruits & beauty of the forest, they started enjoying
that forest. Still few people following the boats man to get out of that forest, but who were enjoying that
forest become envious of those followers who were following the boats man they started giving trouble
to them still that sincere followers they did not give up following him by tolerating all those troubles
given by envious people by helping weak people among them. One very weak person of those followers
he praying at the feet of that person who is guiding them is mercy upon him because he is very very
weak.

Dearmost Srila Prabhupada,
Please accept my humble obeisances unto Your Lotus Feet. Prabhupad, You are very great. Prabhupad,
its almost 1.5 years completed since I joined Your movement as a full time devotee and I came to know
that it is Your causeless mercy upon me, which is keeping me till now in ISKCON. This is despite the
fact that I am not obeying so many rules & regulations. Prabhupad, its been almost 6 months since I
came to this small centre at Bellary. Prabhupad, it is by Your mercy that I am learning so many things in
this place.
So, Dear Srila Prabhupada, please keep on bestowing Your causeless mercy upon this fallen conditioned
soul, so that this soul can be under Your shelter life after life.

Our most beloved Spiritual Master His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupda,
Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Your Divine Grace!
First of I would like to convey my thanks to You for giving me an opportunity to serve the Supreme
Personality of Godhead, Lord Sri Krishna. Before I came in touch with You, I was in the material world.
I did not know what my actual goal was. By Your mercy I can understand the actual aim of life. Let me
bow down at His Lotus Feet on this auspicious day.
I identified myself with my body, mind and intelligence etc. I was full of ignorance, without knowing
what the fact is. I was in the material world with full of anxiety, suffering from three- fold miseries. By
Your grace I am trying to understand what the fact is. I am so happy at Your feet. Let me bow down at
His Lotus Feet with all the humility on Sri Vyasa Puja day.
Now I am happy at Your Lotus Feet, enjoying devotees association and other facilities. When I came in
touch with You, I was bewildered by Your voice, Your way of giving lecturers etc. Within 6 months I
started thinking, how I can become Your student. Once again thanks to my beloved Spiritual Master
for accepting me as His disciple. Let me offer my respectful obeisances unto the Lotus Feet of my
Spiritual Master.
My beloved Spiritual Master, I like Your voice, Your way of giving lectures etc. I like so much Your
straight forwardness. O my Master , I only beg from You, please engage me in Your service eternally.
Once again I offer my respectful obeisances unto the Lotus Feet of my beloved Spiritual Master.
Visva Bhavana Dasa.

I offer my respectful obeisance to the lotus feet of His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami
Prabhupada, who went to the western countries at age of seventy years to spread Krishna Consciousness.
Your divine grace, out of great compassion you delivered so many fallen conditioned souls and engaged
them in Krishnas service.
Your teachings of Bhagavad-gita are very potent in the age of Kali for all the people. Srila Prabhupada, I
was one of the fallen souls who had no intelligence and engaged in so many abominable activities before
coming to your mission. By your mercy, I joined your movement and have been rendering devotional
service in the last three years according to your instructions through the guidance of your sincere
disciples.
Your divine grace, I am not as intelligent as others. All other devotees are coming from highly respected
family and dedicated their life to your mission. Please give me good intelligence so that I can do my best
in my service.

Hare Krishna Srila Prabhupada, kindly accept my humble obeisance to your lotus feet. My grateful
thanks to your divine grace for giving me a chance to write this offering on this auspicious day of your
appearance. Its only by your mercy that I am able to render service to your mission.
Srila Prabhupada, by your divine appearance people all around the world have been enlightened with the
knowledge of the value of the human form of life, real goal of life, formula of peace and received the
unimaginable mercy of the chanting of the HOLY NAME of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Lord
Sri Krishna. Even in the physical absence of your divine grace, people are receiving your mercy through
your transcendental books and many other ways, such as The Akshaya Patra Foundation and so on. Your
statement, especially the I will never die, I live in my books, I realized this, because by reading your
Srimad Bhagavad-gita As It Is, I came to this level of becoming your disciple, although I have no
qualities in me.
Srila Prabhupada, kindly make me humbler than the grass and tolerant than the tree in order to execute
your orders by following the authority process without any self-interest. I am so fallen that I have no
strength and quality to execute your missionary activities. Kindly bless me with little faith and strength
in order to serve your mission. I seek the mercy of your divine grace that all my activities (throughout
this life and eternally) may please your divine grace without a tinge of material desire and self-interest.
Jaya Srila Prabhupada.
Your Servant,

Srila prabhupad please accept my humble obeisances unto your lotus feet.
PRABHUPAD, it is duty of the disciple to remember & glorify his spiritual master all the time. I am
thankful to you to remind me this, unqualified so called disciple, to glorify your unlimited glories, at
least on your glorious birthday (VYASA POOJA DAY)
It is almost ten years since I got introduced to your divine grace, but if I look back towards my
dedication to your lotus feet is very very less. But your causeless mercy has kept me in your shelter
.Many times I was bewildered, what kind of unimaginable good fortune brought me to your divine grace,
because so many so called intelligent & learned people are not able to reach or understand your divine
teachings, how can I express gratitude towards you?
So many times I was confused, by seeing the people who are engrossed in the material enjoyment, is
there any hope in my life? But when I remember your teachings, read your books, here from you,
associate with your disciples, see your sachidanandavigraha. I will be filled with lot of hopes in my
life.
Srila Prabhupad my only one request unto your lotus feet, please engage me in your service
enthusiastically & make me free from stream of desire ,which hinders me in your service & Krishna
bhakti.
ALL GLORIES TO YOU
Your servant,

Prema Vilas Krishna Dasa
Please accept our most worthless obeisances at your holy lotus feet.
On this most glorious day of your appearance day, we beg you to please bestow your causeless mercy
upon us throughout the life. I came here as a beggar and whatever incident happened in my life, I am
thankful to you and to My Dear Lord for that kind of arrangements, otherwise my life wouldve been
totally doomed. Even though I have committed so many offenses at your lotus feet, at the lotus feet of
the Lord and to the Vaishnavas, you are still allowing me to remain at the lotus feet of Ka and giving
an opportunity to render some service. Please forgive all our offenses and keep us in the shade of your
lotus feet forever. Many thanks for giving rare chance to serve Lord.
I beg to remain your eternal servant and never become separated from you. After Ka, you are the
second person that I ever felt the desire to completely serve and love. Kind request- days are passing like
anything, please teach us to control our six passions; rectify our six faults, bestow upon us the six
qualities, and offer unto us the six kinds of holy association. Please bless us by giving just one drop of
faith with which to obtain the great treasure of the holy name of Ka. Please help us to surrender fully
through six ways unto the lotus feet of the Lord. Please bless us to remain aloof from six types of
unwanted creepers. Please bless us to render service with love and devotion with body, mind, work, and
words throughout the life without any hindrances and obstacles.
Our only ambition in life is to please the cryas. But we are very wretched and have no good qualities.
Kindly, let us to just remain in the shade of your lotus feet throughout the life, and give us the strength
to spread this great mission to every unfortunate jva of this miserable material world. That will be the
perfection of our lives.
Please bless us with pure Ka Bhakti and Ka prema. Kindly be merciful unto us so that we will stay
forever in your ISKCON being fully Ka conscious and following strictly in your footsteps.
VyasaPuja2011

We pray that despite our disqualifications, we may hang on to the lotus feet of your servants forever and
also that we may be able to do a little insignificant service for the pleasure of your servants. We may
never become fallen in your eyes, your Divine Grace and always aspiring to remain loyal to you. Thank
you for all, Your Divine Grace! Paying satakoti Mahadaavats Pranams at your lotus feet, we beg to
remain dependent upon your mercy forever. Please use us as your tools in crafting the vessel of Lord
Caitanyas mercy. May Lord Ka enable us at some time to make something that makes you feel
satisfied to have left your legacy in our hands.

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada,
O Srila Prabhupada, my divine spiritual master, please accept my humble obeisances unto your lotus feet
and show mercy on this poor fallen soul.
I came in touch with Iskcon Bangalore just three years before and have been serving your mission for
almost one and half year. If I just look back at my past material life (three

years before) I see a drastic
change in my life and in my activities as well. I did not have any qualities of becoming a vaishnava, but
your divine Grace gave the hope to become a vaishnava.
In spite of having no qualification to achieve Krishna Bhakti, your divine grace has given me a chance.
A person can become millionaire only in two ways.
(i) By hardwork, by intelligence, by business techniques etc.
(ii) Simply getting millions of rupees from a Billionaire.
I do not have any qualifications as mentioned above, still you are so merciful that you gave me a chance
to become one of your servants to follow you and preach Krishna Consciousness, which is the highest
gift for Human life.
Your divine grace mentioned so many times that, the Spiritual Master is pleased when his disciple is
gradually progressing in Krishna Consciousness. So I will try my best to please you in all respects.
Now I am serving your mission in Akshaya patra, Bhilai. By your guidance and blessings all our
preaching activities like Japa, kirtan, prasadam, youth and congregation preaching, festivals, Cultural
activities and book distribution are going on nicely.
Srila Prabhupada, please give us the strength to follow the regulative principles so that I can do my best
service to your mission.
Yours unworthy Servant,

Mukunda Madhava Dasa
I offer my respectful obeisance at your lotus feet. I sincerely thank you for giving shelter to me inside
your wonderful institution of ISKCON.
As a living being in the material world, especially in Kali Yuga I was completely ignorant of my self
interest. I was forgetful of my own death and had no knowledge of my next life. Taking this present
body to be all in all, I tried to enjoy in various ways, both pious and impious. By great fortune I have
come in touch with you, and by your causeless mercy I have managed to join ISKCON. Dear
Prabhupada, your most wonderful quality is your intense determination to give Krsna consciousness to
the suffering souls of the material world. The conditioned soul is very lazy to work for his spiritual
interest and your tireless efforts to create this institution and distribute Krsna consciousness is the only
hope for him. You have devised various means to attract the conditioned souls towards Krishna so that
he gets a chance to begin devotional service which alone can save him from the greatest danger.
(Svalpam apyasya dharmasya traayate mahato bhayat). What is so evident from your words is the amount
of concern you have for all of us so that we may go back to Krishna. May I act in a way which pleases
you and may I never forget my eternal indebtedness towards you. Kindly bless me that I stick to this
institution of yours till death and I may be able to go back home, back to Krishna. I have borrowed the
following phrase which describes you so nicely.
To Srila Prabhupada,
Who combated illusion with the fury of Arjuna, the powerful, victorious and ferocious warrior-hero,
but who also embodied the gentle simplicity of fearless Prahlada, a young boy
Your servant

Sadachara Dasa
To our eternal spiritual master. All glories unto you.
You are most compassionate and merciful. You appear in this world only to deliver the fallen
conditioned souls-the souls who have come here to the material world with a motive of enjoyment by
the mind and the five organs of sense perception. You appear before us to reveal the light of the Vedas
and to bestow upon us the blessings of full-fledged freedom. You come to this world to deliver the
message of the Absolute world which is the transcendental abode of the Absolute Personality. You are
non-different from the Supreme Personality of Godhead in the sense that you do not speak anything
different from what is revealed in the scriptures. Your appearance in this world is also for the same
reason the Lord descends, i.e. to reestablish religious principles and bring people on the path of dharma.
You have no other aim other than the mission of the Lord. You are the most confidential servant of God
and it is only by your mercy that we can attain the lotus feet of Krishna.
Srila Prabhupada, you are the direct representative of Srila Vyasadeva coming in the line of disciplic
succession. Today is the most auspicious day, i.e. your appearance day which is also called Vyasa-tithi or
Vyasa puja. It is the duty of the disciple to glorify you on this day. The disciple should also consider
himself as a fool before his spiritual master. He should surrender to him fully and serve him just like a
menial servant. If the spiritual master is pleased by the disciples service he will bestow all blessings
upon him. Only after wandering in the universes for millions of lifetimes does a fortunate soul come in
VyasaPuja2011

contact with a bona-fide spiritual master or a pure devotee. Such a soul is surely very fortunate. As it is
said in the Chaitanya Charitamrta
brahmanda bhramite kona bhagyavan jiva guru-krishna-prasade paya bhakti-lata-bija
Even though we have received the bhakti lata bija we have to carefully water this creeper of devotional
service just like a gardener has to very carefully take care to grow the plants in his garden removing all
the weeds from time to time so that one day this creeper will grow and reach to the spiritual sky and
attain the lotus feet of Krishna.
I joined this movement 4 years ago and am presently serving in Chennai center. It is all by your
causeless mercy upon me. Please bless me to stay fixed in my devotional service and purify myself so
that I may have no other desire than to serve your desire.

Please accept my humble obeisance to your lotus feet
First of all thank you so much for keeping me still in your mission of preaching Krishna consciousness
and giving me the opportunity to undergo purification to qualify to know the absolute truth, Krishna.
Prabhupad, you have given me the life style where Everyday is same and simultaneously Different!!!
Because undergoing Purification and new new realization differently everyday.
Prabhupada ,when I was sick for 3 weeks continually, Thanks for your association, in the form of
KRISHNA book ,Now I am dare to tell like Kunti Maharani ,Give me more Troubles so that I can have
VyasaPuja2011

the mind set to read and absorb and relish the teachings nicely. Once again thank for the enlightenment
given that time.
Prabhupada thank you for giving me the biggest challenge in the form of LLP preaching now, where I
was thrown into the ocean of people who are not interested in spiritual life and collect from them the
huge amount of Money!!!, But you have given me the enlightening teachings which can save them all,
please bless me for realization of your teachings so that I can preach with more conviction, thank you.
Yes, Prabhupada now I agree whatever you have told in your books about material world are true,
everything happening 100% as you described ,but about spiritual world and transcendence I dont have
the necessary feelings and realization so, please bless me if I qualify for that.
Regarding my realization of aspects of material world, it starts with realizing MAYA, Prabhupad , as they
say friction is the necessary evil ,I will use this fact for realizing KRISHNA, But give me strength to
fight against maya , so that I will not be carried away by the waves of maya.
And, Prabhupad please bless me not to apply the following principle to me familiarity breeds
contempt, so that I can utilize the resources, Devotees, temple worship methodseffectively and
respectfully. JAI PRABHUPAD!!!
Please Rear and Bless (me for) Heartily Utilize Principles for Advancing Devotion

Satya Sankalpa Dasa
Dearmost Father Srila Prabhupada,
All glories to you. Its a great opportunity to write about you. There is no doubt that without your
unflinching showers of mercy, this fallen soul would not even have dared to take your mission seriously.
I recollect the early days of KC when there was no idea of joining at all. I always was thinking of
somehow settling down with one leg in Krishnas home and another in mayas dungeon. It was only your
divine message that made me realize the hazard and pulled my second leg out of the vicious material
quicksand.
What a gift I have got. I seriously think that all the people should give KC a try. Whatever you have
taught seems to be so true that no intelligent man will ever deny. Yet when I put forth this point; even
amongst the most intellectual boys; they seem to curtain the reality and see with tinted fancy glasses, the
world that they want to see.
Sometimes I wonder how you exploded this movement amongst the most heinous section of the society.
Those who came to you were not even half as cultured as the boys here, but surprisingly, they took to
the process quite diligently.
Please reveal the secret to attract more intelligent boys and make them very strong devotees and book
their tickets back to Godhead. I am becoming very much disturbed at not seeing the flurry of boys that
bloomed in your physical presence. It is cent percent true that only you can attract young boys, hence I
seek lot of help. I know that you are very helpful. Please help me Prabhupad.
I am sure your mercy is not limited to only a few souls; The missionary spirit that you have inculcated in
us must spread in a chain reaction and cause a huge nuclear explosion: The Second Hare Krishna
Explosion.
Kindly bless us to preach your gospel Srila Prabhupad.
Your insect,
Satya Sankalpa Das.

I have read from Srimad Bhagavatam that the value of a moment's association with the devotee of the
Lord cannot be compared even with the value of attainment of heavenly planets. Therefore I am proud to
live in homage of such a pure devotee like you, since past three years.
In fulfilling the desire of Lord Sri Krishna Caitanya, you have come here directly from spiritual world.
Srila Prabhupad, to deliver the fallen souls like me, you have established a well defined organization. So
please engage me nicely in execution of your missionary activities, so that my desires should not go
independent of yours. Give me enthusiasm to serve along with your other disciples who are trying to
bring as many souls near to you. It is clear that the attack of maya is more for those who are trying to
come out from her jurisdiction. So give me more strength to overcome the speculations that are
occurring in my mind which is worthy of none.
Srila Prabhupad, by causeless mercy of Their Lordships Sri Krishna, Balarama, Caitanya Mahaprabhu
and Nityananda Prabhu, they have descended in this place of Chennai in the form of Archa Vigraha.
They have descended on the material world just to distribute favor to the fallen souls. Let me utilize this
great opportunity to constantly engage in Their Service under your guidance. Being a full time
missionary of this temple let me cooperatively engage along with your other disciples to spread the Holy
Name of the Lord.
Srila Prabhupad, in execution of my service, let me carefully take your instructions to answer my mind
whenever it dictates me to take pleasure on the sensory objects.
Your humble servant
Shravana Mangala Dasa.

Dear Srila Prabhupad,
Let me offer my humble obeisances unto your lotus feet.
You are the father of the entire world, so also for your loving disciples.
We become closer to you when we start knowing more and more about the love that you have
contended in your heart for the entire world. Blessed by your compassion any conditioned soul can
receive the highest perfection that is eternal service to Krishna. I beg you to bless me with this
benediction and make this wretched soul a valuable instrument in your mission. I also beg you to bless
us with required strength and intelligence that we may be able to take your mission in a big way which
may please you, for your blessing is my only hope.
Your Servant, Smita Krishna Dasa

I offer my humble obeisance to your lotus feet, O spiritual master, savior of the whole world, ocean of
mercy, all glories to you, all glories to you and all glories to you.
Prabhupada, you have given me a chance and showered your ocean of mercy on me. To practice this
wonderful and glorious Krishna consciousness, Prabhupada I was completely doomed in material world.
Out of ignorance I did not know anything about spiritual or material values of life. I was completely in
darkness. I was full of fear, anxiety, worries about future, tension, not able to control any of the senses.
Thinking of past, bad things happened in my life. I was absolutely alone without any guidelines, advice
VyasaPuja2011

at right time, lot of ups and downs in life, did not know what to do, whatever I do or I start it was
failure, including aim, goal, career, situation and circumstances was always unfavorable. I was saved
from material miseries and material ignorance. You have showed me the path which is directly
connected to Krishna, which is the topmost transcendental knowledge about Krishna known as Krishna
Prema which again regains my original constitutional position. I will be saved from all the miseries and
ignorance of life. You have changed and touched millions and millions of hearts in this universe. All
glories to you. Let your glories, name, pastimes, your fame, your association spread all over the universe
which Krishna has created both in spiritual world as well as material world. There is no word to describe
you. All glories to you Prabhupada. I am also one of your servants serving your mission, helping to
expand the movement and spreading the knowledge of Krishna Consciousness and fulfilling your desire.
Thanking you for giving me great opportunity to serve in your mission.
All glories to you, Srila Prabhupada.
Your humble servant
Surananda Dasa.

Our beloved spiritual master Srila Prabhupad has given us this divine spiritual knowledge. This has
helped us to get out of the concept of body and mind. We have an aim in life that is to go to
Vaikunta(The abode of Lord Narayana). Before Prabhupad we were aimlessly drifting in the ocean of
material existence not knowing what to do with our life simply wasting our time in committing many
sinful activities.
VyasaPuja2011

Now I have a proper aim in life. I have a spiritual goal. To free myself of this bodily cage, spiritually
advance myself; learn more about Krishna. Srila Prabhupads books have helped me a lot. They have
shown the proper direction to advance in spiritual life. Without Prabhupads books we would be lost in
our Endeavour. Srila Prabhupads books are very informative, easy to understand and most importantly
have given us the original Vedas as given by Srila Vyasadeva. Books have helped greatly in the initial
period of my spiritual life. They have answered many of my questions. They have helped me greatly in
understanding Krishna consciousness.
My life is on the path of progress in spiritual life. Iskcon the institution which Prabhupad has created has
also helped me a lot. The devotees are there to answer our doubts, give us in detail the instructions of
practicing Krishna conscious activities like chanting, offering food, singing bhajans, deity worship etc.
Iskcon has been highly helpful as a place to practice spiritual life. Especially the association of devotees
which can help us in our spiritual life.
Srila Prabhupadas mission of spreading nama sankirtan throughout the world has attracted lot of
youngsters like me. This has given me the opportunity to participate in this glorious movement of Sri
Chaitanya Mahaprabhu. May with the blessings of Srila Prabhupada I shall improve my Krishna
conscious life and spread this movement throughout the world. All glories to Srila Prabhupad, the jagat
guru of the world.

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. Everyone is in the darkness of ignorance. One
who enlightens his disciple and saves him from rotting in the darkness of ignorance in this material
world is a true Guru.
Srila Prabhupad is an epitome of the true Guru who can release all of us from the clutches of the
material existence. Born as Abay Caran in 1896 on the auspicious day of Nandotsava, he started
worshipping Radha Krishna deities at the age of five itself. In 1918 he got married and soon graduated
from the Scottish churches college in Calcutta. He then entered into chemical industry where he excelled
in business.
In 1922, he met Srila Bhakti Siddhanta Saraswati Maharaj, founder of Gaudia mutt and was initiated at
heart that very moment but, officially got initiated in 1933. In 1959, he accepted sanyas order of life and
began his master piece, the English translation and commentary on Srimad Bhagavatam. He started his
magazine- Back to Godhead in 1944 and was personally editing, publishing and distributing it. In 1965,
at the age of 69, he started to New York to preach Krishna Consciousness on a cargo ship during which
he suffered two heart attacks on consecutive days without budging an inch from his strong
determination, he started the Hare Krishna Movement in 1966 in New York.
In just twelve years, Prabhupada established 108 beautiful Krishna temples spread across continents. He
established BBT, the largest publisher of Vedic literature in the world and published over 80 volumes of
Sastras translated to more than 28 languages. He initiated more than 10,000 disciples from all over the
world, delivered more than 3000 lectures, wrote more than 6000 letters, started Gurukulas for importing
Vedic knowledge to children, initiated free distribution and bestowed numerous other gifts.

My dear Spritual Father Srila Prabhuapada, please accept my humble obeisance at Your Lotus Feet.
Every year on this auspicious day of your divine appearance I wanted to write your glories in the form of
poems and songs so that if anybody sings Your glories he will feel his heart being filled with happiness.
But I being a conditioned soul am always failing. This may be due to my disqualification and Lord
Krishna is not giving sufficient intelligence because there may be some desire in the corner of my heart
to enjoy independently in this world. As You had taught us, Lord Krishna is sitting in our heart as
Supersoul and watching the souls activities, desires, thoughts, feelings and willing.
Prabhupada, as I heard from Your lecture and read from Your purport of Srimad Bhagavatam slokas,
Spiritual Master is the mercy manifestation of Supreme Person. Out of causeless mercy of Lord Krishna
You have appeared in this universe, in this planet, in this world, in this land of India, in this kali yuga
where Ive fallen into this world with my conditioning of enviousness towards Lord Krishna. Im really
fortunate to have a Spiritual Master like You despite my struggling in this material existence of birth and
death repeatedly. You are so merciful and showing us really that You are personification of mercy of
Lord Krishna.
Who will go to the western world by crossing all oceans by a cargo ship at the age of 70 and take the
hardship of teaching Krishna Consciousness to all the people who do not know even ABCD of spiritual
life or even civilized life. But you made them all happy. You made them experts in singing the Holy
Name of Krishna, dancing for Krishna, playing all kinds of musical instruments for Lords glorification.
And brought those white elephants to eastern world and shown Your causeless mercy to all of us where
all of us had rejected Your mercy and sent You there.
O! Prabhupada, You are so merciful on all these Jagais and Madhais. You are delivering us and giving us
Love of Godhead. Initially, by the mercy of Lord Nityananda Prabhu, only one pair of brothers, Jagai and
Madhai were delivered. But Prabhupada, You are continuously delivering many Jagais and Madhais. This
is the best example of Your perceptible mercy. Unfortunately these Jagais and Madhais are committing
offenses at Your Lotus Feet by claiming themselves as gurus though you have not authorized them. They
dont realize that they do not have the capacity to accept disciples despite experiences of many self
claimed gurus falling down. Prabhupada, the rithvik system You have given us is very wonderful. The
day Id received initiation through this system is a memorable day in my life. I remember that day when I
went out for getting my offerings for you; Ive seen many people giving with veneration.
I met a group of intoxicated young boys. In spite of this condition, they offered a little biksha to me. So,
I realized they are still conscious of the fact that they should be respectful to devotees. The only
shortcoming is that they were not able to get out of mayas entanglement which makes them perceive
unhappiness as happiness. At that point of time I really felt happy about my fortune to get a Spiritual
Master like You who has enlightened me out of His causeless mercy.
Prabhupada, please give me shade at Your Lotus Feet so that I can serve You and Lord Krishna with
great respect by staying in brahmachari ashram the rest of my life. Give me strength to follow proper
sadhana so that I get more strength to serve the Lord with my intelligence. Prabhupada, You are the only
One Person who has no other desire other than the desire to serve the Supreme Lord. Please bless me
Prabhupada. Prabhupada, You are the one having no other business other than taking all these
conditioned souls back to Lord Krishna by purifying all their contaminated desires. It is our great
VyasaPuja2011

fortune that you have given Your hand to pull us all out of all these miseries which are like an ocean of
nescience or bhavasagara and take all of us with You wherever You go. Prabhupada please excuse me for
any offenses Ive committed at Your Lotus Feet knowingly or un-knowingly. Please accept my repeated
humble obeisance at Your Lotus Feet.
Yours menial servant,
Narasimha Dasa.

Please accept my respectful obeisance

Your Lordship is my only means of getting out of this darkest region of ignorance because You are my
transcendental eye, which, by Your mercy only, I have attained after many, many births.
I feel very fortunate today to write my second Vyasa puja offering & completing my two year of service
to Your movement under the guidance of Your sincere disciple. Today I feel so indebted to You that just
by being in your movement I learn so many things & also learn what is devotional service. But there is a
long way to go. I have just started my journey of self discovery and You are my captain for this journey
who will decide the destination of this jiva. I personally feel as a soldier of Lord Chaitanyas army and we
are standing in a sharpened blade. A little inattention may cause our falling down into the clutches of
Maya. I seek Your causeless mercy & your association through Your books. Because a pure devotees
association is very rare in this material world. I pray to always keep me in association of Vaishnavas
because that is the only hope for such an unqualified conditioned soul like me to render service for a
Pure Devotee & Krishna.
I beg of You, help me develop appreciation and love for You, and allow me to always be engaged in some
little service for Their Lordships Sri Sri Nitai Gaura Sunder.
Instead of making an offering on this auspicious day, I am coming to beg Your mercy. Please pardon all
my offenses I have committed in the past. Now give me the strength to remain pure, and allow me to
assist you in completing Your mission.
Begging to remain Your servant eternally

Please accept my humble obeisances to Your Lotus Feet. All glories to Your Divine Grace!
Prabhupada, you are full of compassion, and I thank You for that.
You feel sorrow for the souls in this world. We always make plans to succeed in material life. Our lives
are wasted as we aspire to live and enjoy eternally in a body that is destined for doom.
This material world is an overwhelmingly difficult place. The more I experience this, the more I realize
there is no safe place here. But then I remember there is one safe place, one place where there is no
danger but rather an eternal security that is unshakable under any circumstances. Even death or things
worse than death cannot touch us if we are in that place.
Where is that place? That is the shelter of Your Lotus Feet, specifically in the form of Your
transcendental instructions.
VyasaPuja2011

To uplift us you have given the maha-mantra and the teachings of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu. By Your
grace we will not only awaken but will taste the ever-fresh nectar of loving Krishna.
Clearly no one has ever done what You have done. I am certain that it will take many days before anyone
may even begin to approach the standard of Your profound appreciation, realization, and love for the
messages of Your Guru and Gauranga.
Srila Prabhupada, I am presently deeply hurt by what is happening to Your Movement. I feel every
devotee connected to Your movement is hurt. But I am sure if we fix ourselves at just following Your
instructions, then we will come out of this struggle. We devotees of ISKCON Bangalore have no interest
to acquire any kind of land or property; we are only interested in the service of the Deities at the
Bangalore temple. We are not sure what is Your desire for Your Movement but we strongly believe that
victory will be there where You and Krishna are present, as it is said in the Bhagavad-gita (18.78):
yatra yogevara ko yatra prtho dhanur-dhara
tatra rr vijayo bhtir dhruv ntir matir mama
Wherever there is Ka, the Master of all mystics, and wherever there is Arjuna, the Supreme Archer,
there will also certainly be opulence, victory, extraordinary power, and morality. That is my opinion.
With this I would like to end my small offering unto you.
Your servant,
Satya Sandha Dasa.
Sura Shresta Dasa
SRILA PRABHUPADA OFFERING
My dear beloved Srila Prabhupada,
My dear Lord Srila Prabhupada, today is Your auspicious appearance day and is it an extremely joyful
moment for celebration for the whole world, because You have appeared in this fallen age for
distributing causeless mercy of Krishna to fallen souls by changing their hearts and connecting them to
Krishna. Oh! Ocean of mercy, Oh! Friend of the fallen, just by Your glance You purify the whole world
and illuminate the path back home, Back To Godhead for the fallen conditioned souls of this age. Please
accept this insignificant servants humble respectful obeisances again and again.
I still remember when I saw You the 1
st
time on television with Your disciples chanting and dancing on a
Janmastami festival about 15 years ago. The 2
nd
time when I saw your photograph on one of the books in
my school library, I was stunned with wonder as it was very much attractive to my mind and I thought
that You are an incarnation (now I know You are an Empowered Incarnation) of Krishna and can make
the whole world happy. The 3
rd
time I saw You in person at SRILA PRABHUPADAS ISKCON Bangalore,
at that time I became aware that You are the Founder Acharya of this Movement. It was an unbelievable
experience when you came into my dream twice and guided me to come close to Your kirtans, books,
devotees etc. I was very much attracted towards Your devotees, temple, prasadam etc. Later,
unfortunately I got attracted to some other so-called spiritual organisation and wasted my 2 years with
them. Again by Your causeless Mercy alone, I was attracted to this Transcendental Movement.
I was living like a hog and passing days with sense gratification as the only goal of life. I was deeply
submerged in ignorance like cats and dogs and facing so many miseries and difficulties just to achieve
so-called happiness. I still remember how I was harassed mentally, physically and emotionally by so-
called relatives and friends for their sense gratification. It was so painful and I used to cry silently with
no hope of any ray of solace from this rotting condition. And today I see what an unlimited compassion
and causeless mercy You had towards me that You forcefully pulled me out of this utterly painful life
and allowed me to stay near Your Lotus Feet.
Now I am convinced that You are my only saviour and my ever well wisher but my dear Lord Srila
Prabhupada, still I am not able to appreciate Your love and care for me. I am a busy fool and a 1
st
class
VyasaPuja2011

rascal. My dear Lord Srila Prabhupada, I am begging for Your blessings to help me serve Your Lotus
Feet to the fullest and follow Your instructions of spiritual life strictly, so that I can serve You at least by
my life.
My Dear Spiritual Master Srila Prabhupada unto You I must humbly pray, that a serpent like non-
devotee in the dust of Your LOTUS FEET may always stay. JAYA JAYA PRABHUPADA I offer my
respectful obeisances unto your LOTUS FEET again and again and again....
Wanting to become your eternal servant,
Sura Shresta Dasa
Vaikunta Narayana Dasa
You are a pure devotee of the Supreme Lord SHRI KRISHNA,
Please accept my humble obeisances at Your Lotus Feet. Sometimes I feel that I cannot even imagine
how much fortunate I am to serve ISKCON Bangalore Organization, the only organization that is
following your instructions sincerely. This shows you are very merciful upon this fallen soul. But I do
not know whether I am properly receiving and utilizing it for my spiritual advancement. There is
nothing in this world that can repay You for Your causeless mercy other than serving Your instructions
throughout my life.
Srila Prabhupada, I humbly pray You give me more strength to become fully obedient to You and serve
Your mission more and more.
Thank you Srila Prabhupada,

I was born in the darkest ignorance, and my Spiritual Master opened my eyes with the torch of
knowledge. I offer me respectful obeisance unto Him.
I offer my respectful obeisance unto his Divine Grace A.C Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, who is very
dear to Lord Krishna having taken shelter at His lotus feet.
Our respectful obeisances are unto You, o Spiritual Master, servant of Sarasvati Goswami. Youre kindly
preaching the message of Lord Caitanyadeva in the western countries which is full of impersonalism and
Voidism.
It is very painful to experience the happenings at ISKCON. We preach the real peace formula to the
whole world, but today within our society we really going through hardship to keep that peace. The
reason is to only reestablish that youre the sole Diksha guru in ISKCON.
In Caitanya Caritamrta Madya 1.220, it is described that a jealous person in the dress of a Vaiava is not
at all happy to see the success of another Vaiava in receiving the Lords mercy. Unfortunately, in this
Age of Kali there are many mundane persons in the dress of Vaiavas, and rla Bhaktivinoda Thkura
has described them as disciples of Kali. This kali celas are not happy to see the success of our temple and
success of our programs like Akshaya Patra. In various ways they put hindrances. Our only fight is to
teach them a good lesson and make them good Vaishnavas.
Further to that Bhaktivinoda Takura says, that there is another Vaiava, a pseudo Vaiava with tilaka
on his nose and kah beads around his neck. Such a pseudo Vaiava associates with money and
women and is jealous of successful Vaiavas. Although passing for a Vaiava, his only business is
earning money in the dress of a Vaiava. With the same motive there are many kalicelas inside
VyasaPuja2011

ISKCON. They are looting ISKCON assets from across the world. Our only fight is to stop this. And use
everything in the service of the lord.
Bhaktivinoda hkura therefore says that such a pseudo Vaiava is not a Vaiava at all but a disciple of
Kali-yuga. A disciple of Kali cannot become an crya by the decision of some high-court. Mundane
votes have no jurisdiction to elect a Vaiava crya. Our fight is not to elect an acarya by election. Just
follow the ritivik system as you had prescribed in July 9th 1977 letter.
A Vaiava crya is self-effulgent, and there is no need for any court judgment. A false crya may try
to override a Vaiava by a high-court decision, but Bhaktivinoda hkura says that he is nothing but a
disciple of Kali-yuga. Give us enough spiritual strength to make them understand that youre the only
Acarya of ISKCON for the next 10,000 years.
Currently I am holding a new responsibility as a preacher. Its been a wonderful experience preaching
the sublime teachings of Lord Caitanyadeva to everyone and I wish I would be doing this service
eternally by Your causeless mercy. As a preacher I get ample opportunity to present this message to
highly educated individuals. I beg for your mercy so that they will all surrender to your teachings.
I see that in Guwahati, we can preach to younger generations at big universities like IIT and many other
colleges. And more prasadam distribution to all the communities through prasadam restaurants and
preaching to highly qualified and intelligent class of society. I know I have no qualification to do
anything but strongly believe with Your causeless mercy anything in this world can be achieved. I beg to
kindly enlighten me (Mkha karoti vcla pagu laghayate girim.) with all the spiritual strength.
My only wish is to keep me attached to Your Lotus Feet eternally. I will keep following Your instructions
sincerely. Your association through books and lectures kills all doubts and enlightens towards progress
in spiritual path.

To glorify,it is not possible for me to glorify you with my material blunt senses
I am just trying to express my feelings whatever little I have understood by your causeless mercy.
Krishna and Krishna shakti is ananta. You have descended to this world to reclaim the fallen souls who
are suffering in this world.You reveal yourself to those desciples according to thier degree of
surrenderance
Sun can dissipate the darkness of this world. To dissipate the ignorance of the conditioned souls one has
to take shelter of your divine lotus feet. Taking shelter of your lotus feet means following your
instructions as life and soul. A drop of your mercy can enlighten the conditioned souls.
I beg on this auspicious day to engage me in the devotional of service eternally and it is my humble
request you and give me protection to my crepper and see that I will not commit any offence at your
lotus feet at the feet of vaisnava at the Krishna.
Make me an qualified disciple to do pure devotional service at your devine lotus feet. I am really
indebted to you, which I cannot repay.

Our dear Srila Prabhupada,
Please accept my humble obeisances unto your lotus feet, which deliver a fallen soul from this miserable
material world. You have appeared in this material world by the will of Supreme Lord, Sri Krishna. You
have performed wonderful pastimes, through which you have taught us how to execute devotional
service and how to surrender to Supreme Lord. People of this material world are engaged themselves in
sense gratification working all time of a day. They do not have time for devotional service. You are so
merciful that you have appeared to deliver them by giving transcendental knowledge of Krishna
Consciousness.
But I am so fallen that I am unable to follow your order. I am so much disturbed because of my
uncontrolled mind and senses. My mind makes me so disturbed that it does not allow me to render
devotional service. Whenever I am chanting or doing some service it disturbs me by unwanted thoughts.
Even though I am putting my sincere endeavor to control it, because of my previous sinful activity I am
unable to control it. It is only possible for me to control my mind and senses by your causeless mercy. So
please be merciful unto me.
Srila Prabhupada I have full faith that only you can help me. With your mercy only I will be delivered
from this condition. So please give me required jna or intelligence for attaching myself to your service
and for advancing in spiritual life. Please make me understand that only by pleasing you with sincerity
by following your orders under the guidance of senior vaishnavas, can please Krishna.
Please Srila Prabhupada shower your mercy on me. So that I can be able to render service to you.

My dear Spiritual Master Srila Prabhupad, Please accept my humble obeisance at Your Lotus Feet.
The benediction which You have given me cannot be penned on paper with a few words. On this
auspicious and most important day of Your appearance, I want to thank You from my heart for showing
me the real purpose of this human life.You have given the real struggle to perfect the human form of life
to attain pure love of Godhead, in the quarrelsome material world.
The real ISKCON can be there, only under one flag and that is Your Divine Grace A.C Bhaktivedanta
Swami Srila Prabhupada, as the sole initiating Spiritual Master for everybody in ISKCON. In one letter to
Your disciple, You said I blindly followed my Guru Maharaj, I do not know what the result is. O Master,
I can never repay a pinch for giving me shelter at Your Lotus Feet and let not maya move me away from
Your shelter.

Dear Srila Prabhupada!
Nobody else would have chosen this most fallen soul as His eternal servant. But You did. How can I
thank You, His Divine Holy Grace? Every time whenever I am disturbed, feel irritated and angry
because of unwanted desires, You carefully take me in Your refuge, guide and nurture me with pure
thoughts. How can I thank You, His Divine Holy Grace? You tolerate all my misbehavior and misdeeds
by Your causeless mercy upon me. How can I thank You, His Divine Holy Grace? I have no words of
this world to thank You for Your boundless mercy upon me. I can only offer You my prostrated
obeisances unto Your Lotus Feet. Oh my dear Lord, my Eternal Guide, my Eternal Friend, my Eternal
Father, Please keep this most unfit disciple Rama Gopala Dasa always at Your Lotus Feet as Your dear
servant,

Dear Srila Prabhupad.
Please accept my humble offerings unto Your Lotus Feet. Prabhupad, I have joined this movement with
very less faith and without any service attitude. Even after passing so many months and years still I am
feeling something very valuable which is very necessary for developing in Krishna consciousness is
lacking. Prabhupada, I am trying my best to develop the qualities like humbleness, Vaishnava etiquette
etc. But still I am unable to achieve the same.
I have heard from You by reading Your books that one is not required to put any extra effort to
accumulate all the qualities of Vaishnava but if one is simply engaged in the service of Lord Krishna and
Spiritual Master then all these qualities automatically develop within him.
VyasaPuja2011

Even though I am not having any desire to develop further in Krishna consciousness but still as You
have told many times that if You be in the midst of devotees then You will all also become a devotee. So I
am trying my best to be in the association of Your servitors, so that I can also get little taste in Your
service.
As You have told in Your purport that being surrounded by blazing fire is better than being surrounded
by non-devotees. The association of non devotees is so dangerous.
So please Prabhupada, bestow Your mercy upon me and please let me carry out Your service in a more
efficient manner and in this way in due course of time I can get pure loving service of our Lordship
Radha Krishna.

Yagneshwara Dasa
Dear srila Prabhupda,
How do I start to express your glory? I had no personal time with you, but somehow through your flock
of devotees I was able to access some of your mercy. There cannot be a better expression of your love
than these devotees my godbrothers. How would I describe them? When I first met these great souls,
I saw them as people rich with reason and people rich with rhythm. They were bright, philosophical,
and highly enthusiastic and artistic. I wanted to spend the rest of my life with persons of such caliber. I
saw that they were mirroring your optimism. You were spreading something contagious, a genuine love
of godhead, nothing artificial but something so practical and other worldly at the same time.You offered
a complete wholesome culture of constant music, exotic prasdam, colorful divine images (windows to
spiritual world), great books and social intercourse. How is this gift of yours to be repaid? Moreover,
your gift of strength constantly finds its way to me. My greatest moments of weakness come when I feel
an inability to cope with negativity, which sometimes originates with sectors of that original flock. You
always maintained optimism. You were and are the most upbeat person I have ever known, and your
optimism is what sustains me in the midst of occasional cynicism. But unfortunately some people are
trying to subdue you and your glorious activites, by accepting some bogus gurus.I beg you to make them
to understand your DOM,accept you as the sole diksha guru ,and bring back the original glory of your
movement.
It would be wrong to say that in our guru-disciple relationship my end of the job is done, that I have said
all I possibly could in regards to your kindness. Rather, I beg for your continuous assistance. I can see
that my dependence on you will be a perpetual reality.
I always remain your insignificant servant,
Yagneshwara Dasa.

Bhakta Ambadas
Dear Srila Prabhupad
Please accept my fallen obeisances at Your Lotus Feet.
Let me offer this homage unto You by remembering some of Your transcendental qualities. My dear
Lord, You are a Vaishnava, full of mercy as magnanimous as the ocean where there is no end to it. You
have given shade of Your Lotus Feet to me, though I am a fallen soul. Because of my fallen condition I
am drawing the water of mercy from Your Ocean of mercy, but Your Ocean of mercy is remaining full!!
What an exalted position is Yours, my dear Lord! Therefore You are that Supreme Personality of
Godhead for me. Because You always carry Krishna in your heart as You have described many other
Vaishnavas. Thus You are moving Krishna for me.
My dear Lord, I have fallen into the ocean of birth and death. Therefore I am wishing to become a speck
of transcendental dust of Your Lotus Feet which is always away from material desires.
Prabhupad! You gave us this Krishna Consciousness by working day and night for pleasing Supreme
Lord without considering Your comfort. By this we can understand that You were a liberated person!
You were the most intimate friend of all of us! Your qualities and pastimes are numberless and I am
unable to & unqualified to describe them but I know well that activities of Yours are as potent as
Krishnas qualities and pastimes. Please make me remember these always in my heart.
Prabhupad, I thank You a lot for giving an opportunity to this fallen soul to render service unto Your
Lotus Feet. Please accept this small offering of submission. Finally I beg that Your vani always falls on
my ears.
Your fallen servant

Please accept my most fallen obeisances.
First of all thank You for having tolerated & allowed me to stay under Your shelter for 3 years Srila
Prabhupada. I am the most unworthy person to stay in Ashram, I really do not deserve it. I pray to You
that somehow I continue here till my last breath.
Srila Prabhupada You have given everything required to progress in spiritual life. Devotees association,
inspiring quotes, sadhana program, an opportunity not to bother about our living and fully focusing on
Your mission, Your books, Your lectures, opportunity to be engaged in service for the whole day,
PRASADAM.. are just few of them. But still somehow this fallen servant of Yours is not able to take
benefit of these things and is still running behind material enjoyment, not realizing the opportunity that
he has got.
SRILA PRABHUPADA I PRAY YOU TO BLESS ME SO THAT:
1. Istickontothismovementforever.
2. IprogressonspiritualpathasinstructedbyYou.
3. Ireadyourbooksregularly.
4. Iamalwaysintheassociationofdevotees.

11. Idevelopcommitment&dedicationtowardsYou&Yourmovement.
12. Idevelopenthusiasmfordevotionalservice.
Srila Prabhupada you built a house in which the whole world could live. Please bless me so that I never
leave this house, I never leave this house, I never leave this house.
Your aspiring servant,
Kaunteya Dasa
Namamruta Dasa
I offer my respectful obeisances on to Your Lotus Feet. By Your causeless mercy there have been
fantastic realizations, by trying to follow your instructions under the guidance of the authorities.
Please bless this fallen soul to always be at the service of your Lotus Feet. Let my lovable object be
nothing else but the Supreme Lord Sri Krishna.
Thank You for all the guidance and help for our advancement in spiritual life for which we are eternally
indebted to You.
Srila Prabhupada, as told by You, You have constructed a home where the whole world can live happily.
Your movement is glorious, spreading the ultimate, Love of Godhead by chanting the Hare Krishna
Maha Mantra and saving the lives of millions around the world. You have changed our perceptions in
this world and gave a glimpse of the Spiritual world, otherwise being frustrated by the modes of material
nature, we were displeased.
Your insignificant servant, Namamruta Dasa.

Prema Bhakti Dasa
Srila Prabhupada,
Please accept my humble obeisances on the 115
th
anniversary of Your appearance in this world. You
have been showering causeless mercy upon me all through this year.
You have opened my eyes and have shown how powerful your books are and how they can change the
life of conditioned souls. I handed over a LP set to one of the donors. 15 days later he told me that from
the day they just touched Your books once even before reading them, they left meat eating. Just the
touch of your books can change them and bring closer to Krishna. Prabhupada, please give me the
strength to understand Your purports and follow Your teachings in every walk of my life.
This year was full of turmoil in my life. But only by the soothing shelter of Your Lotus Feet has saved me
from Maya. There was no hope about my spiritual life after my fathers death but you saved me from all
my unnecessary lamentation and gave again the golden opportunity to serve Your mission. Prabhupada,
please always keep me under Your Lotus Feet and protect me from useless thoughts. Prabhupada, please
give me the strength to improve my skills and work efficiently for Your mission. Please give me the taste
of reading transcendental literature.
Prabhupada, we are at the threshold of a grand project to spread Your mission in Hyderabad. Please give
me the energy in spreading your mission and constructing a monumental temple in Hyderabad. I want to
offer a small poem in telugu at Your Lotus Feet. I am not a poet nor do I have the qualification to glorify
You. So please excuse me for the mistakes I have done in glorifying You.

Yours ever servant,
Prema Bhakti Dasa
Raja Hamsa Dasa
Please accept my most respectful and humble obeisances on this auspicious appearance day of
Your Divine Grace.
Today is the celebration of Your appearance within this world, and it is a time of great rejoice.
Your appearance was the most significant day for fallen souls like me to come in touch with You
and get opportunity to take to Krishna Consciousness.
VyasaPuja2011

I was reading Lilamrita As It is. There I came across the following statement:
I do not remember any part of my life when I was forgetful of Krsna
This proves that You are perfectly Krishna Conscious. How seriously You have taken up the
words of Your Spritual Master (BSS) as Your life and soul Always Remember Krishna and
Never Forget Krishna. We are so fortunate to have You as our Spiritual Master.
As the Supreme Lord Krishna himself says in BG 7.19
bahn janmanm ante jnavn m prapadyate
vsudeva sarvam iti sa mahtm su-durlabha
After many births and deaths, he who is actually in knowledge surrenders unto Me, knowing Me to be
the cause of all causes and all that is. Such a great soul is very rare.
I really thank you for giving me such a wonderful opportunity to understand the divine message of
Supreme Lord Krishna through You by Your books.
This material world is full of struggle for existence and you are guiding us from within and outside,
through Your instructions. But nothing in this material world is as sure as Your causeless mercy.
As a bonafide Spiritual Master, You are personally taking care of Your disciple and our duty as
Your disciples is just to remain under Your divine shelter and simply follow Your instructions
without any speculation.
I always have a hankering in me that Ive to do something to satisfy You and also do something to
please You. In one of Your letters to Your disciples You have instructed that, If you feel at all
indebted to me then you should preach vigorously like me. That is the proper way to repay me. Of
course, no one can repay the debt to the Spiritual Master, but the Spiritual Master is very much
pleased by such an attitude of the disciple. So please give me the strength to practically follow and
execute Your instructions.
I always beg to keep me at your Lotus Feet. Please forget and forgive for all the mistakes I have done
knowingly or unknowingly. Please give me the opportunity to serve You life after life. That should be my
only desire. Please sanction this. Please take charge of my life and awaken unflinching determination
in me by providing me the strength & intelligence to follow Your instructions under all
circumstances.
Your Servant & lovingly Son
Raja Hamsa Dasa.
Ravi Lochana Dasa
Please accept my humble obeisances at the dust of your Lotus Feet on this most auspicious occasion of
Your appearance. Srila Prabhupada, some 15 months back I had the good fortune of being a recipient of
Your causeless mercy. Although I was a little hesitant to join the Movement, You mercifully dragged me
in for which I shall be eternally indebted.
Prabhupada, by your mercy my Ashram life has been really purifying and has made me to adjust & adapt
to various situations. Thank You for introducing me to my eternal Spiritual Family of Vaishnavas.
Elsewhere it is said in the Gita vyavasayatmika buddih ekehah kuru nandana i.e., a disciple should take
the words of the Spiritual Master as his heart & soul but fallen as I am, my heart is full of lust, self
interests, hankerings for name, fame, recognition & independent enjoyment. On this most blessed day
let the seed of independence be destroyed forever & let me always utterly seek Your dependence.
Srila Prabhupada, as time passed on, this rotting soul was bestowed with Harinama Diksha and renamed
as Ravi Lochana Dasa and was made a Preacher of Krishna Consciousness. This was clearly a show of
VyasaPuja2011

Your boundless compassion on this Jiva.Now I am posted at Hyderabad where You have envisioned a
magnificent Radha Krishna Temple and by Your will things are falling in place here. Prabupada, please
use me as an instrument in Your hands in the execution of this Grand Project under the able guidance of
Your Senior Disciples.
Lastly Prabhupada let me improve on my Sadhana, Service, Kirtans & Vaishnava Etiquette for I am very
poor at all of them.
Aspiring to be at the dust of Your lotus feet
Your most fallen son,
Ravi Lochana Dasa.
Shruthidhara Dasa
My dear Spiritual Master Please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet:
nama o viu-pdya ka-prehya bh-talermate bhaktivednta-svmin iti nmine
namas te srasvate deve gaura-v-pracrienirviea-nyavdi-pctya-dea-trie
Srila Prabhupada, it is by your causeless mercy that I had an opportunity to be under your shelter for the
last two and half years. Now it is my duty as your disciple to follow strictly the rules and regulations
laid down by you and purify myself.
It is quite evident that thousands of people are continuing to get attracted to your divinity, purity,
simplicity and above all obedience to your Spiritual Master Srila Bhakti Siddhanta Sarasvati Thakura to
carry out the mission of Gauranga Maha Prabhu.
Your compassion towards fallen souls, humble dealings with disciples, your sound vibration that
penetrates the conditioned soul rotting in this material world and your gentle smile that relaxes any
disturbed mind are some of your divine features that are binding me to your lotus feet.
On this auspicious day I beg to bestow upon me a fraction of these unparalleled qualities in order to
serve better Guru and Krishna.
Srila Prabhuupada, as you have marked this tract of land, Hyderabad, with your lotus feet we are eager to
gift you with a great monumental temple here and seek your guidance in this respect.
When authorities from ISKCON Bangalore and associated temples are working hard to establish you as
the sole Diksha Guru of ISKCON there is a great opponent force from self appointed Gurus and their
agents. I submit at your lotus feet to give our authorities required strength to nullify their vicious plans
and attempts.
Srila Prabhupada I seek your blessings and guidance to associate with you and your dedicated servants
more and more to continue in Hare Krishna Movement and preach to others.
All glories and glories to Sri Guru and Gauranga.
Servant of your dedicated servents,
Shruthidhara Dasa.

Srivasa Pandit Dasa
I offer my respectful obeisances unto my spiritual master, who has opened my eyes, blinded by the
darkness of ignorance, with the torchlight of knowledge.
I am very fortunate to become selected by You, among the few to receive You Mercy. Actually your grace
is there for the entire humanity. I was one of those who blindly rejected that and was suffering to get
happiness in the concocted world of false relations and mundane things.
You really have a special care for me, as you pick me up from the dark well and took me to your home.
This house is full of Sat Cit Ananda. I was always searching for these things in the wrong place until I
met you through Your institution, books and lecture.
Now, you have not only showed me the light of Srimad Bhagavatam but also selected me into your
mission (which brings as many souls as possible nearer to their eternal position giving them the most
sublime object Krishna Prema.) Today, though internally, I have not changed much, still feel very
delighted to be an instrument in your mission for this period. Pushed by the three modes and haunted
by lust, anger and false ego, I am afraid that I may miss this opportunity of your association. Kindly give
me whatever possible learning so that I will always understand that you are my only hope in this world.
There is no other place I can seek shelter, happiness, or any support except your lotus feet. My only
hope is your instructions. I pray to the Almighty Lord Sri Krishna to bless me with the remembrance to
approach you at every situation through recalling your instructions. Sri Krishna Chaitanya Mahaprabhu
warns only against two great offences: against the holy name and against the vaishnvas. I pray to you to
shower mercy so as to enable me to taste the mahamantra which you have been relishing and guide me
to develop the necessary qualities to honor vaishnavas in this community. As everyone is an individual,
there will be differences in suggestions, options, understanding etc. Kindly keep your special watch over
this servant and see that I get going in this mission cooperating with everyone in the best way possible,
remembering that I am a servant of all your servants.
Lord Krishna himself assures that there is never any chance of losing or diminishing the absolute
knowledge. In this Kali-yuga, I am blessed to be in this institution which is in direct touch with your
good self. I pray that these leaders be blessed and protected by your grace from the onslaught of the Kali-
yuga demons both internal and external. Krishna is in control of everything, this is what we have
understood from you. Whatever may be the situation in ISKCON Bangalore today, we feel it is still in the
control of yourself and Lord Sri Krishna. We want to render more devotional service and spread the
glories of yourself and Lord Krishna and His message to many more suffering souls; in this regard we
pray to you to save us from this situation.
VyasaPuja2011

As far as our project in Hyderabad is concerned, this year we are blessed by you, with the temple
landand have an opportunity to come up with a beautiful monument to spread your mission. You gave
us Lord Sri Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy to whom we are fortunately rendering daily service. Since we
were only a few devotees it was difficult for us to take up many responsibilities. Slowing as days
progressed, you sent good devotees and the team started building. Each one is expert in their own field,
they took up various responsibilities and HKM Hyderabad is building its strength and coming to
limelight.
The monumental temple for their Lordships Sri Radha Krishna is far way ahead. Lots of obstacles, some
known and some yet to unfold, lie in the path. I pray, for your guidance through the journey in assisting
this team here in Hyderabad. With the multifold mission & vision of HKM Hyderabad, please bestow
me the spiritual strength to contribute to the various aspects of preaching to FOLK, Congregation,
members etc.
Under the leadership of Satya Gaura Chandra Prabhu, HKM Hyderabad started the Nitya Annadanam
program, distributing your mercy to hundreds everyday. Here, similar to Akshaya Patra program many
people are getting benefit, through contributing money or time or skill or manual labor or at least
honoring prasadam. I pray that this program multiplies and many more people will soon receive your
blessings.
My only wish life after life is that I just want to be rendering humble service to you at your lotus feet.

Syama Kunda Dasa
All Glories To Srila Prabhupad!
My humble obeisances unto you. You are eternally liberated soul who can deliver eternally conditioned
soul from the real problems of life i.e., birth, death, old age and disease.
If a conditioned soul gets an opportunity to associate with you and if he follows and takes up the
instructions as life and soul then he will reach the ultimate destination he will go back home back to
godhead. But it is up to condititioned souls free will whether to follow or to neglect your instructions.
Instead of following your instructions and working for your mission people are misled and they are now
engaged in jiva himsa i.e., either unnecessarily killing of living entities or stopping spiritual activities of
your mission. By this jiva himsa you will never be pleased and Krishna will also not be pleased by such
activities and worship because yasya prasadad bhagavat prasado, yasya aprasadan na gatih kuto api.
So please give us sufficient spiritual strength and knowledge to take your instructions as life and soul
and to overcome the obstacles which are interrupting your mission which is the message of Lord
Chaitanya Mahaprabhu to preach this message of Krishna consciousness to all villages and towns.
Your servant,
Syama Kunda Dasa.

Hare Krishna Prabhupada
You have bestowed Your mercy on me. I was having big big material aims, all of which were stupid.
Getting into job and then following Krishna Consciousness, is very difficult. Even if I had followed
Krishna Consciousness, I doubt, for how long I could have maintained it. You rescued me from the deep,
dark and useless well. I do not know how to thank You for accepting me as Your disciple. I could not
even imagine becoming a devotee. I, the mad person was thinking that whatever may happen, I will just
stick to the job. Along with the job I can follow Krishna consciousness.
But you showed me that following Krishna consciousness along with a job and following Krishna
consciousness as a devotee, cannot be compared. In a job, I would have been in front of a computer
doing some stupid, meaningless coding or projects from 9 AM till 5 PM. And then orders from boss and
seniors would have harassed me enough. Instead of thinking about Supreme Personality of Godhead,
Krishna, one will think about those nonsense things. But here from 4O clock in the morning till night
one is engaged in service of Krishna.
VyasaPuja2011

You have made such a nice system that devotee seems to be fired up to serve you at every moment.
Knowingly or unknowingly whatever devotees are doing that is for Krishna.
Prabhupada, give me more strength so that I can serve You very well. I am not able to do services in a
proper manner. And I beg You to give me strength to increase quality of sadhana , particularly my
chanting and reading.
Your fallen disciple,
Bhakta Bhanu.

Please accept my humble obeiscences unto Your Lotus Feet. Today I am feeling very fortunate to glorify
You on Your appearance day in this world. It is only the causeless mercy of Yours that I am a part of this
movement. When I look back at my past life, I am surprised because I was so much degraded. I was
aimless and engaged in all bad activities. Still I am so ignorant that despite having a diamond, I do not
know the value of it. I am trapped by lust and bewildered by so many small things. Please give me
strength to remember Your instructions in all circumstances and follow it and not be disturbed by lust.
Please allow me to be a part of Your transcendental movement as a full time devotee in whatever stage or
circumstances I may be.
I hereby seek pardon for any offences I have committed at Your Lotus Feet and any other Vaishnava

My dear Gurudeva, Srila Prabhupada
I bow down onto those Lotus Feet without whose grace it is not possible to attain spiritual perfection.
Prabhupada, what can I offer You on this auspicious occasion? It is due to You, Krishna and your
disciples mercy that I came touch with this great movement of Lord Chaitanya. Prabhupada, I know that
I am not eligible for it. I do not have any good quality / trait. I dont know how I will be able to serve.
Prabhupada, give me direction and bestow Your pure mercy so that I can serve You and Krishnas Lotus
Feet.
Prabhupada, I am a fully materialistic person. You are the only Guru in this universe who can assure
that You can take us back to Godhead by removing all material contaminations.
Prabhupada, a few days back I joined temple. Please accept me as your lower graded disciple. Give me
shelter at Your Lotus Feet so that I can follow and carry out Your divine instructions.
Prabhupada, always keep me at the shadow of Your Lotus Feet. I may try to move away from You but
Prabhupada, never let that happen.
Your dasanudasa,

Dear Prabhupada,
O my loving spiritual master!
This year again I am writing my Vyasa-Puja offering and this year again I am short of words. I want to
glorify you more and more, but, the words of our material languages are always a limitation.
I just want to pray to Krishna that:
eva jana nipatita prabhavhikpekmbhikmam anu ya prapatan prasagt
ktvtmast surari bhagavan ghtaso 'ha katha nu visje tava bhtya-sevm
My dear Lord, O Supreme Personality of Godhead, because of my association with material desires, one
after another, I was gradually falling into a blind well full of snakes, following the general populace. But
Your servant A.C Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada kindly accepted me as his disciple and instructed me
how to achieve this transcendental position. Therefore, my first duty is to serve him.
r rmad Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, who is very dear to Lord Gaurga, the son of mother
ac, is unparalleled in his service to the Supreme Lord r Ka. He is that great saintly spiritual master
who bestows intense devotion to Ka at different places throughout the world. By his strong desire, the
holy name of Lord Gaurga will spread throughout all the countries of the Western world. In all the
cities, towns, and villages on the earth, from all the oceans, seas, rivers, and streams, everyone will chant
the holy name of Ka.
Its your appearance day Prabhupada and I should give something to you which could please you. But, I
find myself most unqualified when it comes to serving you and fulfilling your desires, although I have a
great longing for it. You always used to say that you are most pleased when your disciples advance in
Krishna Consciousness. Therefore, I just want to become a very strong and sincere brahmacari disciple
of yours and remain like that always. I am just made up of your causeless mercy which you have
bestowed upon me and I just hope and pray to Krishna to give me spontaneous attachment to your
divine lotus feet.
Today, on this day, I just pray to Lord Krishna that more and more sincere souls take shelter of your
divine lotus feet. Because then only, the vast mercy of r Caitanya Mahprabhu will conquer all
directions and a flood of transcendental ecstasy will certainly cover the land. When all the sinful,
miserable living entities become happy, your desire is then fulfilled.
Always seeking the dust of your divine lotus feet on my head

back home, back to Godhead. Now it is more than one year in the Ashram. Here, under the guidance of
your senior disciples I am regulating my spiritual life, rendering devotional services and trying to
understand the intricacies of the science of Krishna Consciousness. As Lord Brahma has mentioned in
the Braham Samhita karmi nirdahati kintu ca bhakti-bhjm. I am practically experiencing in my
VyasaPuja2011

life that reactions of my past sinful life are decreasing and my health has improved and I have become
more peaceful than ever.
Srila Prabhupad, though you have accepted me as your disciple but still I am not following your and
your senior disciples instructions very seriously and sincerely. Please forgive me and give me Sad
Buddhi to become more serious in my devotional life. At the same time please give me a taste to relish
the holy name of the Lord.
Srila Prabhupad, as you know that people of Jaipur are already very pious & naturally very devoted to Sri
Radha Govinddev Ji. They just need to be fed with the philosophy. I have a strong desire that our Jaipur
Temple should come very soon. It will be a big preaching tool and our preaching program will be
accelerated. Kindly sanction this desire.
Srila Prabhupad I know that this life is very short and precious. Please empower me with great
enthusiasm to preach the message of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu and bless me sufficiently so that I can
become a pure devotee of the Lord in this life only.
Your Humble Servant,
Ajit Krishna Das.

Please accept my respectful obeisance unto your lotus feet.
Prabhupad, what a glorious way of life you provided to me. You know how I loitering in blind alley of
materiel existence. I was one among who fighting for survival of the fittest theory. Fortunately I touch
your Vani which change my attitude towards goal of life.
Srila Prabhupada you said that if a person reads "one verse, one line, one word," his life will be
changed and in another place you told "What is not possible to achieve in thousands of lives can be
achieved in one moment if there is an opportunity to meet a saintly person. It is therefore enjoined in
Vedic literature that one should always try to associate with saintly persons and try to disassociate
oneself from the common man, because by one word of a saintly person one can be liberated from
material entanglement.
rmad-Bhgavatam 3.22.5, Purport.
In your house ample opportunity to associate with your vani , here all devotees feel vibration of your
mission, of course temple authority nurture devotees to understand your mission properly . Srila
Prabhupad because of you we felt real meaning of togetherness, otherwise people name of togetherness
they satisfy subtle need, which arises out of sense perception. Hear hardly any devotees says this is mine,
it is your and create differences among out of it.
In one lecture you says If someone hear Srimad Bhagavatam three things vanquish 1) Lamentation
2) Fear 3) Illusion and knowledge has to be experience and practice otherwise it is theory. Prabhupada
you are my only hope who can make me humble and meek. Humble is always backed by knowledge and
meekness is whatever quality an individual having it is borrowed from Krishna. So Prabhupada these
two spiritual quality will not manifest without your causeless mercy.
Prabhupad in my walk of life, I have executed various services to satisfy different individuals and my
extended self but service to your lotus feet is my purification. Why purification?
There is no being existing, either here or among the demigods in the higher planetary systems, which is
freed from these three modes born of material nature. (B.G.18.40)
So give me strength so that I always shift my mind in your loving devotional service, actually war is in
mind not outside.
I apologize to all the vaisnavas for all my mistakes.

Respected and Dearest Srila Prrabhupada,
Please accept my humble obeisances unto your lotus feet,
One more year passed since I offer my last homage to your lotus feet, but there is no improvement in my
consciousness since then. It is your mercy only, who is making me move even though I do not deserve. I
do commit many stupid mistakes, but you are so merciful that you always bestow your merciful glance
over me. As a dear most father you blessed me with everything, whatever is most suitable for me to have
that particular moment.
Last year was not very good for us specifically for the FOLK, as we were not very systematic in our
approach to preach FOLK, but still you made things happened upto some extend, this is your special
mercy. You have been guiding us and facilitating us with many sincere devotees. Hope with the help of
devotees and your blessings we will be able to preach Krishna consciousness more systematically and
produce good result.
We are not able to do proper justice to congregation preaching, but hope by you grace and blessings may
be by next one year we will be make to atleast few sincere congregation devotees.
We have planned to come up a huge temple complex here in Jaipur, but it requires lots of resources, we
do not know how it will be possible. But your mercy can do anything and everything. Once, its come
up, and then this will be a great source of preaching.
You have given such a glorious thing as Krishna Consciousness to all of us, but our deviant god brothers
made a mass out of it, and also trying to mass our preaching work as well. But we have complete faith in
your mercy that once again things will become normal and our preaching work will go on beyond limits.
I pray on this wonderful occasion that please keeps bestowing mercy on this unqualified disciple, so that
I can purify my though and mind and completely engage in your service forever.
Anantha Sesha Dasa.
Arjunnath Dasa
Please accept my obeisances.
Almost one year has passed since I wrote to you in last Vyas puja. The secret of success for a disciple is
to have a strong attachment with the spiritual master. I am sorry that due to my laziness , offences and
my past conditioning I am not able to appreciate your position. Living entity is revolving in the
whirlpool of material existence. How fortunate one ought to be to come in touch with a mahabhavata
and blessed with the opportunity to serve him. Prabhupad, yours is the only movement which can take a
jiva back to Godhead. I am waiting for the day when I understand the seriousness of this movement,
then and only then I can infuse that seriousness in the hearts of many many people. I am weak, small,
immature and fallen. Over that the great force of material nature is insurmountable. If I gaze myself,
there is absolutely no hope that I can render even a bit of devotional service and over that I am very
impatient. Still Prabhupad, how merciful you are to this unworthy disciple, that even after committing
so many offences to you, you are still keeping me in the movement and not only that but loading me
with responsibilities .And seeing that I will not be able to handle anything ,you are also guiding ,
reciprocating and directing and making my little attempts a success.
VyasaPuja2011

Prabhupad I dont remember if I have added anything in your movement. I am only taking from you and
still I dont feel indebted to you. If I had even a little sense what you are offering to those ,who have
surrendered to you, I would be serving you like my other godbrothers who are all so rigid and
determined in their devotional services. Yes, one thing which I am so expert in is dreaming. I have great
plans for your movement, for spreading Krishna consciousness. This great movement of yours cannot be
confined to handful of people. This is a movement of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, the Lord Himself. It has to
reach to millions of people, it has to grow like wild fire and capture every nook and corner. How will
this happen Prabhupad if you have such a weak disciple like me in your movement? I am an expert
dreamer but dreaming will not fetch anything into your movement.
Last five months have taught me many things, after I got initiated by you. It brought a turning point in
my life, which you are well aware of. I have developed more attachment to you. Lot of perceptions has
changed. But it is a long journey and I am not even at the first step.
Today on this auspicious moment of your appearance day I beg you to empower this useless soul so that
I can carryon with my services with great faith and devotion. Please pardon me of sins, mistakes and the
offences which I have consciously and unconsciously committed. I want to thank all my godbrothers to
be so kind to me. It is your blessings that I am able to carry on little devotional services. Please keep
blessing me and forgive my offences at your feet. I am giving a stop to my immature offering, but
Prabhupad I know that you will accept it because you are the savior of fallen souls. I also beg you to
bless all the people present here whom you have brought to your shelter. Empower all present here so
that the prediction of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu will take no time to get executed.
Your most unworthy disciple,

nama o viu-pdya ka-prehya bh-talermate bhaktivednta-svmin iti nmine
Dearmost Spiritual Father rla Prabhupda,
You are an ever liberated personal associate of the Supreme Personality of Godhead r KA who
descended into this universe upon the order of Lord r KA to show by personal example how to
become a Pure Devotee. The entire world is purified simply by the appearance of Your Divine Grace and
all conditioned souls are also glorified due to Your transcendental presence.
You are living eternally with your disciples through Your Books and Instructions and we feel Your
personal presence through Your Institution. You taught us what a devoted disciple means:
A devoted disciple of the spiritual master would rather die with the spiritual master than fail to execute
the spiritual master's mission. As the Supreme Personality of Godhead comes down upon this earth to
re-establish the principles of religion, so His representative, the spiritual master, also comes to re-
establish religious principles. It is the duty of the disciples to take charge of the mission of the spiritual
master and execute it properly. Otherwise the disciple should decide to die along with the spiritual
master. In other words, to execute the will of the spiritual master, the disciple should be prepared to lay
down his life and abandon all personal considerations. -rmad-Bhgavatam 4.28.50
rla Prabhupda, kindly showers your causeless mercy upon me and all your disciples to become so
much devoted and dedicated. On this auspicious day of Your Divine Appearance I beg pardon of all my
offenses unto Your Divine Lotus Feet and all the Vaiavas. In my prayer unto Your Divine Lotus Feet I
can just repeat the song of rla Bhaktivinoda hkura:
gurudev!

My humble obeciences are at the lotus feet of Our Spiritual Master His Divine Grace Abhay
Chanrnarvind Bhaktivedanta Swamy Srila Prabhupada.
Srila Prabhupada I thank you again for correcting me and inspiring to execute devotional service at lotus
feet of Lord Sri Sri Radha Krishna Chandra. Give me opportunity to serve your lotus feet and to serve
mission of Lord Chaitnya.
I remember Srila Prabupada whenever I got new service your instruction guided me to maintain right
attitude. Please continue guiding and chastising as You Wish.
Today also you guided me to, how to carry forward Preaching Activities at Udaipur. Please bless me to
be your servant forever. By Krishnas mercy I have got you, and I was saved from mayavadic philosophy.
And now by your mercy alone Srila Prabhupada I can reach Back Home Back to Godhead. My words are
feeble and crippled to describe you glories completely. Please bless me to remain in your shelter and at
your mercy.
Our opposite camp has become very expert in Defaming Our Beloved leaders and guides. Please save us
so we can execute your orders as it is.
Yours Forever in the service of your lotus feet,
Dheer Damodar Das.
Gaur Mandal Dasa
Please accept my humble obeisance at your lotus feet. All glories to Your Divine Grace. It has been over
an year now that you took such an unworthy fallen soul as me under your shelter and allowed me to be
an instrument in fulfilling your desire of preaching the cult of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu all over the
world. I know I have not been a disciple of which a master can be really proud of. My reciprocation
towards the ocean of blessings of Your Divine Grace has been that of gross ungratefulness and utter
insincerity. But Srila Prabhupada please try to understand and forgive me of my misdeeds as nobody
knows better than you that this poor soul has got no other shelter, no other savior but you Prabhupada.
Yet one thing that I have got by the causeless mercy of Lord Krishna and yours is the sincere and
desperate desire to serve your mission and to become a das-dasanudasa in true sense. Please engage me
more and more in your service and please help me overcome the tendency of sense gratification, I really
detest it and want to overcome it completely. I myself being so impure have been entrusted with the task
of making others pure, how shall I do it Prabhupada! I have got no clue. Though I am most impure still
Prabhupada, please make me an instrument in fulfillment of your desires as your mission should not
stop for want of purity in your fallen disciple and I also promise you Srila Prabhupada that I will pray
and try my level best not to become an embarrassment for you and Lord Chaitanya for the prophecy
nagradi gram to come true.

In service of Your Divine Grace,
Your unworthy servant,
Gaur Mandal Das.
Gopanandini Devi Dasi
Please accept my humble obeisances unto your lotus feet. I totally feel unqualified to write an offering to
you. How can the lowest personality in existence write a glorification to the highest personality to have
walked the earth? How can I thank you for what you have given, when that realisation of your kindness
and magnanimity has not yet manifested in my heart?
Compassion is wonderful quality because you Srila Prabhupada epitomized the essence of a parama
Vaishnava- Para dhuka dukhi. Just the vision of such a compassionate being as your Divine Grace is
enough to take away all sorrow. If you examine me, you will find no qualities .Your mercy is all that I am
made of. If you are not merciful unto me, I can only weep and I will not be able to maintain my life. As
Srila Bhaktivinod Thakura prays for the mercy of Gurudeva,I also pray for your mercy Srila Prabhupada.
Your past mercifulness has saved me from the darkest of ignorance. Please help me to stay out of
wretched side of life predominated by lust and various illusions. When Srila Bhaktivinod Thakura prays
that he is lower than a blade of grass offcourse we know that this is merely expressing his humility.
Please help me develop such humility, for with such humility I will not take my next birth as the worm
in the stool. With your help, with just a drop of your strength perhaps I can utilize this human form of
life as it should be used, in the eternal service of lord Krishna.
When I hear about the glories of great souls who are serving you faithfully and selflessly, then my heart
only weeps for not having had sufficient intelligence to recognise your greatness and uniqueness since so
many years. I pray that in my next body I might be given the opportunity to learn how to serve you and
please you better. Only if I give up all my personal motivations and selfish desires will that chance come.
Of course I treasure the sweet moments when sometimes a little service did come my way. By some good
fortune I have come in contact with your preaching mission and your mercy has enabled me to become
an part of it. But I face many obstacles while engaging in serving your mission. I realize that these
obstacles are due to the many anarthas in my heart. I pray to you to guide me in removing all these
anarthas so that I can serve your mission better and contribute something tangible to this great
movement.
I wish to thank you for the immeasurable mercy that you have shown me. I am thousands and thousands
of times indebted to you for what you have given me as well as so many others. I pray to you for the
realisation of this mercy. And pray for forgiveness of my indolent behaviour and repeated offences. I
deeply pray to you to forcefully take me away from the dangers of material life, which are hurting me
and keep me always at your divine and glorious lotus feet and I may serve you in same away that will
please you.

Please accept my most humble obeisances at the dust of your lotus feet. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
Who has so mercifull given me shelter of his lotus feet. The Guru Pada-padma-madhu means the hony
emanating from the lotus feet of Sri Guru is so sweet & nectarean that if a fortunate sisya gets it &
relishes it & everything will be cleansed out.
VyasaPuja2011

I am sure that if one could hold your lotus feet his going back to god head would be guaranteed but
being a very, very fallen soul. I depend upon your mercy.
I would like to pray to you to bless me so that I may take perfect preacher eternally life after life. Plz
make me your perfect preacher just of your louts feet.
Now I am offering a poem in my tiny knowledge on dust of your lotus feet!

Please accept my humble obeisance at your lotus feet on this most auspicious day of your divine merciful
appearance on this planet. Although being an atmarama completely satisfied in serving Krishna in
spiritual world, by your unlimited compassion and mercy you have brought Krishna consciousness to
the most fallen souls in kaliyuga. By your causeless mercy you planted a seed for serving Krishna and
gave me the opportunity to serve mission of caitanya mahaprabhu. Every conditioned soul has four
major imperfections imperfect senses, tendency to commit mistake, to become illusioned and cheating
propensity. With all these imperfections it is impossible for us to understand transcendental subject. By
your divine appearance in the material world you eradicated the darkness of illusion and with the torch
of knowledge showing the path towards Krishna. This transcendental gift of Krishna consciousness
given by you is the rarest thing to possess in the whole universe for which even the demigods in the
heavenly planets are waiting for. Even though I was gifted with this unique opportunity I am unable to
fix my mind completely in your service due to so Many anarthas. The mind very often being attracted
my illusionary sense pleasure is forcing me to serve to its demand. Please bestow your blessings and help
me to come out of this vicious cycle of serving senses and suffering for it. Please help me in improving
the quality of my chanting and hearing. Kindly help me to develop determination in following your
instructions and service attitude while being engaged in your service.
The Hare Krishna centers which you have created are like doors to the spiritual world where we can
regain our lost relationship with our eternal master Krishna. It is very sad that self proclaimed gurus in
ISKCON having offended you by not following your will, is remaining stumbling block to preach
VyasaPuja2011

Krishna consciousness. The position of a diksha guru is very unique and rare and cannot be imitated by
ordinary conditioned soul. A Bonafide guru is a nitya siddha and confidential associate of the lord who
comes to material world to awaken Krishna consciousness in the forgetful soul. On this most auspicious
day I pray to lord to kindly establish Srila prabhupada as the sole diksha guru in all ISKCON centers and
thus enabling all sincere souls to connect to Krishna through a bonafide guru.
Yours insignificant servant,
Keshi Hanta Dasa.

As it is explained in the sastras: Mkha karoti vcla pagu laghayate girim, by the mercy of
guru a lame man can cross mountains, a dumb man can speak eloquently, and am begging for that
Causeless Mercy on this poor soul.
Thank you for the Timeless instructions, whoever follows it seriously the Success is guaranteed and the
only reason for Failures are due to not following the instructions.
Thank you for the evergreen instructions, whenever found some difficulty in understanding from books,
I remembered you saying Read it again and again, you will understand then I found there is no
difficulty.
Thank you for the inspiring instructions, because of taking shelter of your instructions, I am able to see
things through the help of sastras, which otherwise would speculate and concoct.
Please give me necessary strength to practice spiritual life and also intelligence to preach this Ultimate
Knowledge to everyone.

I offer my respectful obeisance at your lotus feet.
Srila Prabhupad I dont have any qualification to become your disciple and render service to Krishna. It
is due to your causeless mercy. Sometimes I think I am very fortunate being selected by you. I request
please continue your mercy upon me. Past few years good preaching is going on in Jaipur, folk preaching
and other activities. I am disturbed for passing away of Aindrya prabhu and because of Bangalore issue.
Prabhupad , the other camp is very active to disturb us. I pray to you to correct them and give them
good sense. Please allow me to continue your service . Forgive me of my offences and give me strength
to do good sadhana and service. It was your desire to have a Krishna balram temple in Jaipur since you
came here in 1971. Please give me intelligence to finish this project. Again I pray to you to give me your
blessings for my services.

You are eternal father but actually i can not fully understand the wonderful things which you have done
for me and doing. Now i am gradually realizing that everything happening in my life is part of your
transcendental arrangement to purify me of my material contamination and situate me as your eternal
servant. I was too much envious but by your grace i am able to understand things as it is.
I think my self as unqualified for devotional service but i am so fortunate that you have selected me for
your movement.
Now i can realize that maya is always pushing me back but by your mercy only i am able to sustain.
Maya as my parents and relatives is behind me and by your support only i am able to fight. Sometime i
am very much afraid of my parents but i have faith that one day i will cross over this barrier.
You have given us the most powerful thing as morning sadhana. By this i can face all the obstacles. Like
lusty desires are so powerful but i am able to face
My desire is to serve you and Krishna life after life. So save me from maya and please keep me always
under shelter of your lotus feet.

Jai Srila Prabhupada,
Oh! saviour of the whole world, and my spiritual master please accept my humble obeisances unto your
lotus feet. Today on this auspicious day of your divine appearance. I got one more chance to offer some
insignificant words of mine. Although I am unqualified to follow your divine instructions, still you
initiated me for spiritual enlightenment and gave me adhikara to render service to you, for the
perfection of this human life. Not only this but you also brought me in Hare Krishna Movement Jaipur
Ashram. Where all my authorities are as caring as parents are for their newly born infant. Prabhupada
.Although we have small centre and lots of services, still devotees are very much co-operative to each
other.
Recently under your divine guidance we conducted one residential program in Folk named, JSD. In
which almost 50 fresh students came and took your blessings .Many of them have started chanting and
are very much fired up. In LLp service also everyday different kinds of sweet and bitter experiences I am
going through. You only tell, dont you that Krishna consciousness in not static. Yes, it is really very
dynamic and full of experiences.
Prabhupada, please give me more determination, enthusiasm, and patience to execute your instructions.
Please bring more sincerity and simplicity in my behaviour. Save me from committing any Vaishnava
apradha and always keep me under the shelter of your lotus feet.

Please accept my humble obeisances at your divine lotus feet
,Srila Prabhupad today is the most auspicious day of your divine appearance and you came to this world
to spread the message of Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu and deliver all the fallen souls of this material
world i request you to forgive me also for all my mistakes and give me an opportunity to sincerely serve
at your lotus feet.
Srila Prabhupad every year we all devotees wait for this most auspicious day of your divine appearance
and all of us get an opportunity to write an offering to you, but every year i think that even countless
words are less for your glorification and for the cause less mercy you have showered on a fallen soul like
VyasaPuja2011

me ,hence i would request you to forgive me for all my mistakes and give me the required intelligence
and strength to take up all the responsibilities sincerely .
Prabhupad the Folk Program here at Jaipur is going on very nicely and apart of Jaipur we have also set
up Folk Hostels at Udaipur, Kota, Bhilwara and Jodhpur and all this progress is only by your mercy, and
we request you to kindly guide us so that we can work hard and spread the message of Lord Chaitanya
all over Rajasthan.
Srila Prabhupad as per your desire to construct a temple and install the deities of Sri Sri Krishna Balaram
at Jaipur, we have started the construction and we request you kindly shower your mercy on us so that
we could complete the construction as soon as possible and we get an opportunity to worship their
Lordships Sri Sri Krishna Balaram, Sri Sri Nitai Gauranga in their diety form so that the entire Jaipur City
can get blessed by their mercy, but this all can be possible only by your mercy Prabhupad.
Finally i would request you to forgive me for all the mistakes and faults i have commited at your Lotus
Feet, and give me the required intelligence to to serve you.

Please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet. Srila Prabhupada you are very merciful upon this
fallen soul. You saved my life and allowed me to practice Krishna Consciousness which is not available
to big big demigods, sages, jnanis, yogis. Though I dont have any such qualities, nor do I have any
qualifications rather I am full of all the faults, but you mercifully protected me and have given me a
chance to revive Krishna Consciousness in this life. But I am such a great fool that I am losing its value.
Instead I am becoming more and more entangled in sense gratification. My consciousness compared to
what it was when I joined the temple has come down. My reading is very irregular for past few months.
Please Srila Prabhupada save me from this onslaught of Maya as I have no strength to control my
flickering mind. Please save me from committing spiritual suicide. Let my only attraction be for Krishna
and his devotees.
Prabhupada you have transformed many lives and established the glories of Krishna and Chaitanya
Mahaprabhu all over the world. Nityanada prabhu saved the lives of the most degraded jagai-madhai and
made them Krishna Conscious. And you have saved crores of jagai-madhai all over the world. You are
the true representative of Nityanada Prabhu. You have established centers to allow anyone and everyone
to practice Krishna consciousness in the association of devotees in any part of the world. Please help me
to bring more souls to your divine shelter, and guide me to do so.
Prabhupada help me to become the servant of your sincere disciples who are following your instructions
as it is and are trying to re-establish you as the only spiritual master in this Krishna Conscious
Movement because no one but only you can save us. Help me to serve all the vaisnavas. Help me to
follow all your instructions. And help me to become Krishna Conscious.
Hare Krishna.

Namaste Sarasvate deve Gaura Vani Pracharine Nirvishesha Shunyavadi Paschatya desha tarine.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
My worshipable spiritual master, please accept my humble obeisances. I beg to all who have accepted the
material body, please surrender to Srila Prabhupada who is an eternally liberated soul and personal
associate of the Supreme Personality of Godhead and beg for his mercy for our own good, there is no one
in this world more merciful than him to deliver the fallen conditioned souls. We are fallen from our
position of serving Krishna and now struggling hard to exist in this miserable material world. He has
taught us by his personal example, the key to attain perfection, how by strictly trying to execute the
orders of the spiritual master one can get all success in his life. We all must take complete shelter of Srila
prabhupada who is more purifying than the Ganges. It is said that to become purified one has to take
bath in the Ganges but if one simply sees a pure devotee one becomes cleansed of his contamination.
Such is the quality of a pure devotee. It is also said that the perfection of eyes is to see a pure devotee.
Perfection of the limbs of body is to serve the body of pure devotee. I have heard from my god-brothers
that once you said, Iskcon is my body and BBT is my heart . So let us make our human body worthy by
serving the mission of His Devine Grace. It said that the Supreme Lord Govinda always resides in the
heart of Pure Devotes. BBT which you have said, It is my Heart is filled with your books and your
books are over flooding with Krishna. Let us be careful not to commit any offence at the Lotus feet of
Srila prabhupada because such offences are never tolerated by Krishna. Let us all simply follow HDGs
instructions and become glorified by executing his will to fulfill the desire of His spiritual master. Let the
people from all over the world reunite and with focused energy engage in spreading the glories of our
beloved spiritual master. That may satisfy Krishna. Then there may be more and more devotees
advancing in spiritual life.
To my deviant godbrothers,
HDG has proved all the statements made in connection with a Maha Bhagavata in the revealed
scriptures. HDG has delivered the species lower than Varnashrama by his mercy. Why we should bring
unworthy substitutes to Srila Prabhupada. The first lesson of Spirituality is that we are not these bodies
but Spirit souls; ordinary conditioned soul never dies what to speak to Maha Bhagavata. And HDGs
words also will not be affected by time as in the case of conditioned souls. Anybody who hears HDG
through his books will be liberated. Many times HDG has taught that one can associate with Krishna and
his devotees through sound. Let us understand this and not deprive many suffering souls from the
association of HDG. It is said, it is very very rare to obtain the association of a Pure devotee and
moments association with pure devotee can bestow all success on the conditioned souls. All this is
already proven. It is the mercy of HDG that today there are Krishna Deities in the lands of Mlechhas and
Yavanas. Hare Krishna mantra is being chanted in many corners of the world. Few years back how many
people knew about Krishna? Why should we hesitate to accept this? Let us give up our stubbornness and
simply surrender to Srila Prabhupada and execute the orders of HDG. That may convert the whole world
into Vaikuntha.
With this, I humbly request Srila Prabhupada and all vaishnavas to bestow their blessing upon me so
that one day I may be able to please Srila Prabhupada.
Your servent,

Srila Prabhupada ki jai
I offer my respectful obesiances unto my Spiritual Master.This is my 2nd offering in ashram. From last
one year due to mercy of Srila Prabhupada I have learned to play kartal, how to cut fruit ,make juice &
offer it to lord, how to behave with vaishnavas, how to be more humble. In Blore due to mercy of
Prabupada I was able to get deity services like MMD, Main/Down temple asst. & lot more which reduced
lot of anarthas from inside. Here in Jaipur I got this LLP services which I am finding little bit difficult &
I want to praise RMTP for his fired up preaching. I beg Prabhupada, that I can also get same preaching
spirit like him so that I can increase my dependency on Krishna. Change of perception I think it will
take many years of devotional service. Lot of anarthas are there inside me like to be envious, lusty. In
end I beg Prabhupada that let my all desires be centered towards Krishna likeanyabhilasita sunyam.
Your Humble Servant

Ill offer my respectful obeisance to your lotus feet .
I thank you for giving me one more opportunity to serve your movement with the association of the
devotees.
Prabhupada, please give me the strength and conviction to follow your orders very strictly. I can make
no progress without your grace, hence please bless me to overcome the negative thoughts in executing
your orders. Even though Im not eligible to serve Radha and Krishna, you have given me the
opportunity to serve them through various services.
My mind is filled with all anarthas and unwanted things. I need to clean up all those things, which can
happen only by your causeless mercy. Your spirit of praching Krishna Consciousness till the last day of
your lila in the material world is the inspiration to every devotee and I seek your blessings to do the
same. Thank you Srila Prabhupada for keeping me in your home and giving me an opportunity to serve
Krishna and your mission.
Your most fallen servent

How we can explain about glories of Shrila Prabhupada. We are so insignificant & fallen .He is pure
devotee of Supreme Personality of God Head Krsna . His glories are unlimited .Still he is showing his
causeless mercy for me ,who is totally deviated soul . Even I have no quality to serve Krsna & his
devotees ,but still he accepted me as his disciple .And always guiding me for engaging in K.C. duties .
Even many time I victimized by maya but he is so mercy full that simply by praying, he is giving full
shelter & guiding for further progress.
It is only his cause less mercy that I am able to do properly sadhana & trying to engage fully in service .
It is his mercy that he is increasing faith in chanting of Holy name of Lord & shelter of Lord .
Many time offence happens ,some time ego comes ,but he is so mercy full that he is making me
understand , how to deal with different -2 condition & situation .
It is your cause less mercy that,you gave us such a organized system to follow K.C. that even we are not
spiritually mature & not that much serious to engaged fully in K.C.. But due to this system
VyasaPuja2011

automatically we are able to follow K.C. in proper guided way .Other wise we knows that out side no
one knows ,what to follow ,how to follow .
So Prabhupada I always pray to your lordship that please give me unflinching faith on you, Krsna &
Chanting the Holy Name of Lord so that what ever condition may be there I never be deviate from
devotional service.
Please Prahupada give your mercy that hole life I can follow fully your instruction & sadhana.

Please accept my humble obeisance unto your divine lotus feet.
Srila Prabhupad, today is the most auspicious and pleasant day since it is the day when you appeared in
this mortal world to save the entire human society from this planet, who were wrongly directed and
entangled in the three fold miseries of this material world. Prabhupad you are the only person who
delivered innumerable condition souls rotting in this material world. Being ordinary unqualified and
fallen condition soul , I am unqualified to offer any homage to you, but prabhupad this the only way
by which I can purify myself as I have committed uncountable offences unto the lotus feet of
Vaishnavas knowingly or unknowingly. So this is just my humble attempt to glorify you.
Prabhupad you know how weak I am in controlling my mind and senses, as I easily become its victims.
So my lordship I want your especial favor , though I dont deserved it, But I know very well you are
patitpavan, so please shower your causeless mercy to this fallen creature who is always hovering on the
material platform , and posing himself to your disciple, but you know very well my actual position as
how sinful i am.
So again and again I beg your mercy on this auspicious day so that I could able to chant properly lords
holy name and please give me enough intelligence, so that I could able to follow instructions of sincere
devotees because as I am progressing years in your movement I am encountering all kinds of weeds
sprouting within my heart which hampers my spiritual progress.
Being a part of your movement ,I am really proud of .Though I am failed to follow many your
instructions ,you are kind upon me and given your shelter. So please empowered me so that I can
become your disciple in real sense.
Aspiring to become servant of your servant.

My Dear Spiritual master and Father Srila Prabhupada,
Many a times you have explained that a true disciple is one who is disciplined by the Spiritual master.
He obeys the order of the Spiritual master and live life strictly according to the instructions and
teachings of the Spiritual master. If we see in that respect I am not even your disciple.
You bestowed your causeless mercy on this fallen sinful soul and gave the gift of Krishna Consciousness
which I never deserved. Actually, I deserve to rot and suffer in hellish planets eternally because of my
intrinsic sinful nature and enviousness to Krishna.
The day you accepted me in your house ISKCON you became my real father, my parent, my guardian.
Srila Prabhupada I am your worst son and find myself incapable to please you. But by seeing the
dedication of your disciples in your TRUE MOVEMENT and by the mercy of the lord gradually I am
developing a desire to serve Lord Chaitanyas and your mission but I have no spiritual qualification to do
VyasaPuja2011

that. Being a conditioned soul I am a puppet in the hands of Maya and I cannot properly perceive lords
guidance. You have already started your mission in Kota city. Please bestow your mercy and make me
qualified so that I can please you and lord by becoming an instrument in your hand.
I beg forgiveness for the offences which I have committed knowingly or unknowingly at your lotus feet
and at the feet of your disciples. Help me regain my original Krishna Consciousness and come out of my
anarthas.
Aspiring to become your true disciple and an instrument in your hand,
Your most fallible servant,

Let me offer my respectful obeisances unto your lotus feet again and again because that is the only way
to achieve devotional service unto the lord.
Srila Prabhupada I beg your mercy and forgiveness in executing devotional service. Mercy is needed
because without it I will not be able to move even an inch closer to Krishna, forgiveness because of not
executing your prime instructions. Prabhupada I wish to execute your instructions for my whole life
and after life also but I sometimes take your instructions casually and does get fail to execute them.
Please give me the required help to execute your vani seva.
Prabhupada the problems created by the ISKCON mumbai devotees are too many in number. Although
we follow you but unfortunately we cannot call ourselves from ISKCON. Please help us in spreading
glories of your name and the glories of Hare Krishna mantra under Hare Krishna Movement. Please help
us build a beautiful temple of Sri Sri Radha Krishna for your pleasure and more than that please provide
us the required spiritual help to be in your mission for our whole life.
It is said that we can cross over this material existence under the guidance of a bona fide spiritual
master. Srila Prabhupada thanks a lot for accepting me as your disciple and giving me a chance to serve
your mission. Please give me the strength to follow the four regulative principles and the chanting of
sixteen rounds of Hare Krishna mantra every day for my whole life and please help me build and
maintain the enthusiasm to serve you more and more.

All glories to shrila prabhupada
You are merciful spiritual master for every condition soul. You are giving chance to condition souls to
attain Krishna which is very rare. Even big-big person are not getting this chance in millions of years
and without cause you are providing us this nectar. I do not have any qualification to get in to your
mission still you selected me. Please keep on your merciful glances upon me. I do not have any strength
to save myself from this illusion, so I beg your mercy. Thank you for showing me right path and putting
me under the leadership of ISKON Bangalore. Your glories are unlimited. You are the ocean of mercy,
only through your mercy we can get devotional attitude towards supreme lord.

Jai Srila Prabhupad
It is very truly said that you are the ocean of mercy because you have allowed such a rascal to enter in
the aasram life.since three years i had been writing the offering as folk boy but this time,i am in aasram
as bhakta.
Its the fact that alone i was not able to take this discission; it is you who made this possible.
Now just bless me so that i can serve your lotus feet and mission till the end of this physical body, and
also that am able to follow all the standars set by you and sastra in this community.
Kindly stand by me as my master while dealing this world.i am handing over my rest of life and free will
to you,so that it can be used for the right purpose.

All Glories to the most Merciful, the most Munificient & the most Benevolent Spiritual Master-THE
A.C.BHAKTIVEDANTA SWAMI SRILA PRABHUPAD
OH! Prabhupad..although I do not have any qualities to become your son cum disciple cum servant
but it is your causeless mercy that I am in your institution as a girl in her fathers arms or a boy in his
mothers lap
This is my first Vyasa Puja offering to you & I do not know why you have made this system to publicly
speak the offerings
But as you order,I want to say that among all your disciples I am the most neophyte & almost everyone
say that he is the most fallen but in actuality onlu You & Krishna knows that nobody is more fallen then
me
I am very much obliged to you in so many ways that I can not delineate it & even after offering my
BODY, MIND & SOUL I cannot repay your obligation
Even though I am not initiated but from heart you already initiated me
What to say now..I really dont know but You are always our Inspiration & there is lot to aspire for
The Path which I have chosen by your Causeless mercy is like a ROPEWay tied between two ends of a
pole & I am just like a neophyte boy who is trying to cross that ropeway & you are like a support of
STICK whom that boy used for balancing himself or like a Spongy NET tied beneath that rope to save
me from, If I fall down
Year after Year I have to write this Vyas Puja offering; but I dont want it just for the sake of writing but
it must be like You Persoanlly hear & BLESS UNCONDITIONALLY what I desire
O Prabhupad among many many problems I have one thing by which I am very much scared...that after
joining Ashram I am not able to develop the due respect & value for the devotees beginning from new
ones to senior & Super Senior Devotees
I am taking very lightly the association of devotees which is the hindrance in my Spiritual Progress &
there is always a chance of Vaishnava Aparadha although I am not intended to do this
So please Prfabhupad protect me from this danger
After Joining in your mission; Now What you wish is my wish; what your desire is my desire & although
you a Pure Devotee you have no enemies, but still your enemies are my enemies;; But I am a little tiny
Jiva, full of false ego with no strength of my own, so by looking at my pitiable condition please bless me
that I become successful to Please Yoy & meet upto your expectation
And Prabhupad one thing what I desire is that when you give initiation to me please give me a very
SWEET name on the name of RadhaRani
For this year I only have this much to say & offer you but till next offering I will keep praying you &
you please bless me in each praying
In seek of Your Causeless Mercy
Your most downtrodden servant, Bh. Shubham

Dear SrilaPrabhupada,
Please accept our most humble obeisances at your lotus feet :
namaomvishnu-padayakrsna-presthayabhu-tale srimatebhaktivedanta-svaminitinamine
namastesarasvatedevegaura-vani-pracarinenirvisesa-sunyavadi-pascatya-desa-tarine
All glories unto you, who are the most illustrious transcendental savior of this Kali-yuga. As a father
carefully instructs his children so they may properly mature, you are providing the immature, fallen,
VyasaPuja2011

childlike people of this age with the divine instruction by which they may see the Absolute Truth, Lord
Krsna, and regain their natural, sheltered position at his lotus feet.
We would really like to know how to appropriately address such a great soul as yourself in order to
glorify you. Without you, we would never have known who Krsna is, we would never have known
whether we were the body or not. To not know about this is terrible! The mercy comes from you, and
now we know a little about this. How happy we are! Unlike many Vaishnavas, or great souls, we are
stupid materialists here, yet still we are trying to worship you on this Vyasa Puja day.
No doubt, SrilaPrabhupada, you are great soul, a saktyavesa-avatara empowered by krsna to preach the
glories of his holy name. You are the founder-acarya of the International Society of Krishna
Consciousness. We are very pleased and happy, because you saved us from the dark well of material
existence. We promise to go on helping your mission ofspreading Krsna Consciousness to everybody.
Because of your mercy, we are full of hope.
We promise you that we will always chant our sixteen rounds every day, trying to avoid the offences,
and that we will follow the four regulative principles and attend the spiritual programs with full
enthusiasm. We promise to somehow or other stay in the association of devotees, living peacefully and
without false prestige. And we also promise to try to please you by distributing your books, Making a
beautiful temple, preaching to guests, worshipping the deities, cooking, etc.
Please, SrilaPrabhupada, allow us to build the temple for SrisriRadhaGopinath.Thats our goal of life to
improve your mission and send us more and more nice people who is interested in Krsna Consciousness.
Please, SrilaPrabhupada, free us from envy, laziness, and false ego; allow us to always chant the Hare
Krsnamaha mantra at every second of our lives, which are so short and miserable.
PleaseSrilaPrabhupada, allow us to be spiritually strong so that we do not fall victim to maya. We will
remember your teaching forever.
We simply pray on this most auspicious day that you kindly excuse the countless offences we have
committed at your divine lotus feet.
Always praying to remain your servants,
Radha Ramana Dasa & Padmini Devi Dasi, Penang.

Prabhupada,They have given me life; They have given me hope; They have given me a purpose;They are
truly meaningful . It is so wonderful that you have given everyone an understanding of God that you
have simply promoted love of God. Please let me be your eternal servant. Your glories are immeasurable,
it has no end. We feel Your presence in the form of Your books, lectures, conversations, letters and so
on. I should never give up the association of the devotees by Your mercy. I should improve myself in

Our respectful obeisances are unto you. O spiritual master, servant of Saraswati Goswami. You are
kindly preaching the message of Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu and delivering the western countries,
which are filled with impersonalism and voidism.
We are the most fallen candidates for engagement in your service. It is really impossible for us to write to
you an offering. Only through your wonderful mercy are we attempting to be understood. The glories of
a pure devotee can only be realized by other pure devotees. So I am begging you to forgive me and accept
us as your disciples. It is only by your wisdom that the Vedic literature can be understood.
Youve given us the easiest method of self-realization. Youve saved us from all impersonalism and
voidism now existing.
Dear Srila Prabhupada, your glories are unlimited. So how can we hope to praise you? Yet that is our
heartfelt desire, so on this glorious day we beg to remain at your lotus feet.

All glories to you. Please accept our humble obeisances at your lotus feet on this most auspicious day of
yours. In the age of Kali, you have came to distribute the teachings of Lord Chaitanya and spread the
love of godhead. The only weapon you gave to fight the powerful maya is the holy name.
You opened our eyes, which were blinded by the darkness of ignorance, with the torch of transcendental
knowledge. You rescued us from the raging waves of the ocean of birth and death by giving us the holy
name which is the only means of liberation in this age of kali.
You will continue to encourage us to build temples so that the sweet sound of Krishnas holy name,
accompanied by karatalas and mrdangas will be continually sung and heard in every corner of every
town and village just as the prediction of Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu.

kindly preaching the message of Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu and delivering the Western countries, which
are filled with impersonalism and voidism.

By the mercy of the spiritual master one receives the benediction of Krishna. Without the grace of the
spiritual master, one cannot make any advancement. Therefore, I should always remember and praise
the spiritual master. At least three times a day I should offer my respectful obeisances unto the lotus feet
O my ever-worshipable eternal spiritual master, O Lord of my heart, His Divine Grace Abhay Charan
Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, kindly accept my prostrated Dandavat Pranamas at the holy dust of
your divine lotus feet on this occasion of your appearance day.
Only by the grace and blessings of the pure devotees of Lord Sri Krishna can the conditioned souls get
out of the struggle for material existence and attain devotional service at the Lotus Feet of Sri Krishna.
Srila Prabhupada, please bestow your blessings and guide me so that I never move an inch from being
attached to your Lotus Feet. I am unworthy children of yours. I have just recently taken initiation from
you. Please guide and keep me attached to your Lotus Feet. Srila Prabhupada, please forgive me for all
the offenses I have committing, knowingly or spreading Krishna Consciousness.
I beg to remain as your eternal servant and continue to engage in the Radha Gopinath pray that I may
never leave your shelter.

Please accept my humble obeisance unto your lotus feet on this most auspicious day. As a disciple its
my duty and also its my fortune to glorify your good self, where there is no end to your glories.A blind
man cannot appreciate the sun or sunlight. Being a blind person how can I appreciate your good self?
Some years ago before joining the temple, I was regularly attending programs, lectures and classes which
were being conducted in the temple. In the lectures many devotees were referring your name for their
examples, explanations, etc. But I was wondering how all these devotees were always praising your
name. But later when I became a full time devotee I was fully convinced about all these things and such
praise is possible only for a pure devotee of Krishna. A conditioned soul always wants to see by his
naked eyes. There are 2 kinds of processes to acquire knowledge - one is the ascending process and
another is the descending process. The descending process is authoritative and transcendental whereas
the ascending process is defective because it is based on what we perceive using our limited senses and
mind. One thing I can tell frankly - even though I am not a sincere devotee like many others in the
movement, still I am getting an opportunity to serve your mission whole heartedly and purify myself in
their association. It is only because of your causeless mercy that I am serving your mission otherwise I
could not.
Srila Prabhupada, please forgive my offences at your lotus feet and other vaishnava devotees committed
by me due to my anarthas or ignorance. Please give sufficient strength and inspiration to serve your
mission throughout my life and even life after life.
Jai Srila Prabhupada.

Please accept my respectful obeisances at your lotus feet. I am one of the most fortunate souls being
under the shade of your lotus feet. What an opportunity we got from you and Krishna! You are the
cause, that, today at least once in a day I am remembering how fortunate I am! A few years ago, if you
examine my life, I was a person who was hankering after some material desires, false dreams, all of
which are like a hog hankering after fresh stool. Now you have made us directly princes in this world.
How can I express this happiness and satisfaction? Day by day I am becoming debtor to you and other
vaishnavas.
Prabhupada, today my desires are changed, dreams are changed, activites are changed, goal is changed
and so on. At last my life changed only because of simply believing the words which are coming from
your lotus mouth, now which is like Shastra or Vedic scripture full of knowledge for me. Please help me
and keep me at your lotus feet forever to follow all your instructions as life and soul, even though I have
no capacity to take them as life and soul.
Thank you Prabhupada, today faith on deities has increased a lot. Sometimes we are feeling some kind of
separation and remembrance when we go out of station. This is because of your causeless mercy on us.
Prabhupada, today at this auspicious time I am sincerely praying to you - Please keep me under the
shelter of your lotus feet until death comes without any material desires in the core of heart, give me
opportunity to worship and serve your lotus feet without any pride. Taking shelter of your lotus feet
means drinking nectar in the desert, which is full of bogus and personally interested gurus and
incarnations and avataras.
Really I am very fortunate soul because I am with ISKCON Bangalore, which is following sincerely your
words and trying to spread your glories. Sometimes by seeing them alone I am getting lot of inspiration
and enthusiasm. All glories to ISKCON Bangalore and Madhu Pandit Prabhu and other Vaishnavas.
Now days there are many spiritual organizations, none of which are bona-fide and authorised according
to shastras. Recently one donor was saying you people are guaranteed to go back to godhead,
Krishnaloka, you are genuine people, I would like to associate with your ISKCON devotees. It is really
our good fortune to serve your mission. You are the first bonafide acharya in Vaishnava sampradaya
who created many devotees not only in India but throughout the world. How can we adequately
appreciate your glorious deeds?
Prabhupada please remind me always your instructions and directions in my heart, even though I am not
a sincere soul. Many times I forget your instructions and come down to the material platform which
causes ignorance. Please give this adhama low born jiva proper buddhi or necessary intelligence
forever. Please show mercy on me, forgive any offences committed at your lotus feet and other vaisnavas
lotus feet. I will try to become the eternal and sincere servant of servant of servant of your servant.
Jai jagadguru Srila Prabhupad, All glories to you.
Your Servants, servants, servants, servant,

Jay Srila Prabhupada,
I am very happy that once again I am getting an opportunity to glorify my Guru and express my feelings
towards Prabhupada. This year Prabhupada showered special mercy by giving me an opportunity for
Deity worship by giving me brahmana initiation, because prior to this all my activities were sinful. I am
not at all qualified for this. On this auspicious day, I pray to Prabhupada that I should not commit the
same sins again.
VyasaPuja2011

I am always fearful of maya, that any time I can slip away from devotional service and also I dont know
the importance of devotional service. So I am praying at the Lotus Feet of Prabhupada to always keep me
in his organization, to help me follow the rules and regulations, to be humble, to follow the authorities
because the mercy of Prabhupada flows through authorities, to behave nicely with devotees and not
committing any more Vaishnava aparadha. I also beg forgiveness for committing offences at the feet of
Prabhupada and devotees.
So on this auspicious day I thank Prabhupada for allowing this sinful man to stay in iskcon and perform
devotional service to Krishna. I also pray to give me physical and spiritual strength to preach the glories
of Krishna to the society.
Jai Prabhupada
Your servant

Day after day, while associating with You in the form of reading, hearing lectures and conversations, I
find You greater than what I previously estimated .Your transcendental glories are unlimited to satisfy
VyasaPuja2011

my soul during this life time .I feel secure at least for this life time that I have a bonafide Person from
whom I can find solace. Hope the same will continue in the future journey of the soul .
Your preaching especially in the west has given us the perfect pattern of activities by which everyone can
interestingly engage in devotional service .Its amazing ,how You could identify the peoples conditional
tendencies and perfectly use them in the service of the supreme personality of Godhead, Lord Krishna
.You have so expertly devised the trap for conditional souls, who in the spell of ignorance decide not to
go back to Godhead .Present civilisation is mostly putrefied with animalistic propensities as all in all.
You successfully in every case turn the persons life without You getting affected; You perfectly proved
the phrase You often use catching the fish without getting wet.
The heat of court cases rose this time to the max, but I was quite confident of Your protection.
Fortunately now we see that in the combat where we challenged the greater part of ISKCON, the
followers of pseudo guru system could not even dare enter the temple premises, though they could
manipulate in the judicial system. Atleast now they realise that it is not so easy to penetrate ISKCON,
Bangalore. Every day new issues are put in the eyes of the public from both sides creating confusion in
the minds of innocent .I am afraid if the other camp sustains for more time, it will result in heavy tug-
tags and sound of war thus spoiling the ground for preaching .Let the fate of ISKCON in India not be
like that of America where its heard that the preaching is completely stopped due to wars and faulty
systems. Hoping to receive Your mercy and continue my existence.
Your servant,
Rukmini Vallabha Das

Srila Prabhupada, please accept my humble obeisances.
One cannot make any progress without the blessings of the Spiritual Master, and the way to achieve that
causeless mercy is to become your guileless servant i.e. follow Your instructions very strictly which
includes four regulative principles, chanting Hare Krishna Maha-mantra and playing the role assigned by
You in Your movement in which I am very weak. Please help me improve my sadhana especially
chanting, Srila Prabhupada.
Srila Prabhupada, I know that you are trying to mould the devotees to become fit to go back to Spiritual
World for which you told ISKCON life is like an apprenticeship, a Vrindavana in this material world.
Please help me become a nice devotee in Vrindavana created by You and take all the lessons taught by
You in various ways through the system setup by You and thus receive Your causeless mercy which is
already showered upon me.
Srila Prabhupada, we are trying to build student preaching in Mangalore and ensure that no student will
miss an opportunity to hear about Krsna and surrender to You, for which we require Your mercy Srila
Prabhupada.

Sharad Vihari Dasa
Let me offer my sincere obeisance unto Your Lotus Feet, the unlimited reservoir of pure devotional
service. Let the dust of Thy Lotus Feet that can actually result in even an inch of spiritual advancement
and the most aspired treasure of the devotee, be my only focus in the perpetual journey. Offenses at the
same Lotus Feet can be detrimental to ones spiritual life. Therefore I beg deep from my heart to forgive
VyasaPuja2011

me of all the variety of offenses committed at Your Lotus Feet, the Lotus Feet of the Holy name and all
the Vaishnavas.
The very fact that I am today in Your own house, to be counted as one of Your own family members is a
greatest privilege beyond which there is no further aspiration, dream or endeavor. Your causeless mercy
on this useless trying to be servant is the only reason for this present opportune state of my existence.
Still I am so obstinate and rascal that I am not grateful to this causeless mercy of Yours everyday rather
only recognizing it on Your holy appearance day. That is exactly why it is termed causeless mercy, since
you shower on me irrespective of me receiving it or even recognizing it. Please help to constantly take
shelter of Thy Lotus Feet continually admiring Your activities, contemplating Your nectarine words,
holding the image of Your lotus feet constantly in my subconscious eye.
I have been really poor in following Your orders especially in the aspects of sadhana. I must completely
depend on Your causeless mercy alone to counter this problem enabling requisite daily spiritual
revitalization. Due to my personal inability, lot of services have been improperly completed, I beg
forgiveness deep from my heart and also beg to help me come out of the vicious anarthas so as to make
my services effective. The recent tumult in the organization about the organization has effected me as is
the case with any other devotee, but I am sure things are in perfect control especially in Your vigilant
hands which is also giving us an opportunity to further depend on You helplessly.
Dear Prabhupada, by Your grace I am given further responsibilities, though I am not capable of, not
worthy of. But I beg for devotional strength from you so as to execute it to the best of my capacity.
Further in my circle of influence, let the spreading of the glories of Your lotus feet, never be a function of
my personal capacity/strengths/skills. In both the aspects of spiritual life be it my personal krsna
consciousness or the vyavaharic services, let me remember Your teaching in the context of Lord
instructing Brahma, the summarization of Srimad-Bhgavatam in four verses, the essence of which is
to fix up our mind on the conclusion/ goal of our joining the movement, irrespective of our day to day
happenings filled with ups and downs. Then no pride will disturb us rendering us stanch in Your vision
for the movement.
Dear Prabhupada, the books you have left back are the real treasures that I want to fasten deep within
the chambers of my heart and try to follow them earnestly as it is. In one of Your lectures, you pointed
out that a disciple achieves success in following the order of the Guru or even if the disciple tries to
follow the order the Guru sincerely though executed imperfectly. Drawing inspiration from these words
of Yours, I sincerely, deep from my heart, with folded hands beg sincerity and determination to serve
Your lotus feet forever.
Your lowly trying to be servant,

Dear Prabhupada
It is through your mercy I know who supreme lord is-Krishna. The shelter that you have given me
under your lotus feet is more than life itself. The debt of your mercy on me which I can never repay,
please accept my service unto you, which is all I can do. I am a conditioned soul bound in this material
world. Its you who brought me to knowledge from ignorance, from darkness to light, suffering to
happiness. And it is you who carried the message of lord caitanya all around the world to deliver the
fallen souls. My words are too less to praise your glories. It is only by your mercy that I can go back to
Krishna; it is your causeless mercy to the fallen soul like me. Let your blessing be with me always. And
please forgive me for the offences committed unto your lotus feet.

Please accept my humble respectful obeisances unto your lotus feet. All glories to your divine
instructions, which are continuing to guide the fallen souls of Kali-yuga on the path back to Godhead. I
dont have any qualification. How to glorify you?, Im not fit for becoming your disciple. Because of your
causeless mercy Im here now. From Prabhupad I have got many things like One day Prabhupad told in
Bhagavatam class that in Kali-yuga to chant holy name of the lord that is
Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare
Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare.
By chanting this mantra and dancing in front of the lord, and eating prasadam of the Lord. A person can

Please accept my humble obeisances at your divine lotus feet.
Today is the celebration of Vyasa puja. Vyasa puja means Guru puja, so our guru is Srila Prabhupada,
and it is the time to get the mercy of Srila Prabhupada. Srila Prabhupada is great devotee of lord Sri
Krishna. He started preaching the holy name of Lord Krishna some years ago then he got success in his
preaching and its spread over the three worlds.
Its called as ISKCON Internal society for Krishna consciousness. Because of Prabhupada I have come to
this stage. After I read his books my mind has changed, like we have got a new Life. He has changed our
life in the future by giving his mercy unto us. If Prabhupada had not come to this material world then we
would be rotting in the material activities. And we would have wasted our life in doing some unwanted
things. But now we cannot spend the time in doing that type of thing. If time is there we can chant the
holy name of Krishna or we can read his books etc. Oh pure soul, please engage me in your devotion and
please give mercy to me so that I can spend my time in serving you whole of my life. I beg for
forgiveness from you for the mistakes that I have committed.
Please engage me in your service.

Please accept my humble obiesances at the lotus feet of you. It is said in CC that hardly one person in
the creation of Brahma is favoured by Lord to get Krishna Consciousness. It is only by the causeless
mercy of you that I have been allowed to become a part of your mission. If not I would have rotten in
this material world in a bewildered state without proper aim in life. But I am such a fallen soul so much
so that even after being favored by you and Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, still I am not able to realize
your shower of blessings upon me which is very rarely achieved.
If I inspect myself for spiritual strength and qualification, I dont find even a bit of love, faith and
determination towards Lord Sri Krishna. Though it is a fact that you have saved me from this blazing fire
of material existence, though I have received so many instructions from you, I never took your
instructions as my life and soul. I have been eternally indebted to you for you saved me from the
attempts of so called parents and relatives who tried to take me back into the material world. Its only by
your causeless mercy that we can remain fixed in devotional service in spite of so many attacks of Maya
who can be kicked by one single Kick of You.
My only request at your Lotus Feet is that Please engage me eternally in the service of Lord Krishna( The
worshipable deity of the entire creation), Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabu and let me take your instructions
as my life and soul with faith, determination and patience. It is said that Lord Krishna is attracted only to
devotional service. It is only by the glance of your mercy and Lord Nityananda Prabhus mercy that I
have been provided facilities to practice devotional service under your complete shelter and vigilance. I
am eternally obliged and indebted to you for saving me from this nescience.
As you know that out of four of us who were about to join, bhakta Vishnukanth and I have joined
successfully. Please favour good conditions for Bh Sharath and Harsha Vardhan to join successfully with
your transcendental blessings. Also our unit President is sincerely searching for land to build very big
temple for their Lordship Sri Krishna and Balaram. So please help us to come up with big temple to give
chance for more and more souls to take to Krishna consciousness. By your blessings FOLK at NIT
Calicut is running successfully and I expect FOLK at NIT Suratkal also run successfully. There are many
sincere souls who have taken shelter of self proclaimed gurus in VOICE camp in NIT Suratkal. So I
request you to please take them under your shelter through our FOLK arrangements.
Knowingly and unknowingly I have committed offences at the Lotus Feet of You and Vaishnavas. I
humbly request You to please nullify all offences so that I can advance spiritually to serve your
movement full of my heart and soul and let me never commit any further offences in future by the
transcendental blessings of You my Guru Maharaj. Please consider the begging of this insignificant soul
and engage me eternally in the service of Lotus feet of lord Krishna under the guidance of you
throughout my entire existence.

Please accept my respectful obeisances at your lotus feet on this most auspicious day of your divine
appearance in this material world. I am very thankful to you Srila Prabhupada for your mercy unto me.
You have bestowed me great opportunity to serve you Srila Rupa Goswami mentions in Bhakti-rasamrta-
sindhu the first five basic principles of devotional service which are as follows,
(1) Accepting the shelter of the lotus feet of a bona fide spiritual master,
VyasaPuja2011

(2) Becoming initiated by the spiritual master and learning how to discharge devotional service
from him,
(3) Obeying the orders of the spiritual master with faith and devotion,
(4) Following in the footsteps of great acaryas under the direction of the spiritual master,
(5) Inquiring from the spiritual master how to advance in Krishna consciousness,
I beg for your mercy so that I can remain eternally your servant to carry out your divine instructions.
Please forgive me for all the offences I had committed at your lotus feet and other Vaisnavas.

Please accept my humble obeisances unto your lotus feet.
Since 3 years I am in touch with this ISKCON movement. I am reading many book of yours. I have
attended many festivals like Sri Krsna Janmastami,Vyasa puja ceremony,etc and I have done many
services.These were possible because of your gift-ISKCON. This has changed my life and also the life of
many people from evil to good-KRSNA CONSCIOUSNESS. Common people know you as a great
scholar. You had translated Srimad Bhagavatam,Sri Chaitanya Caritamrta,etc . to English which
everybody can understand.
You are the only spiritual master. Give me the strength to render service unto you. You are the only one
who can make us understand the message of godhead and help us to attain KRSNA. And you are as good
as KRSNA. We are trying to serve and satisfy you without offences. I am very grateful to you Prabhupada
for showing mercy on me (fallen souls). All glories to you Srila Prabhupada.

Srila Prabhupada ,
I offer my respectful obeisance unto your lotus feet sincerely. From the moment I came in touch with
Iskcon I was very much attracted by the devotees characteristics. By the association of devotees I have
developed a desire to join your transcendental movement. By your unlimited mercy I am able to give up
the association of materialistic people and ideas. Prabhupada you have provided everything for me to
practice spiritual life even when I was living as college student .By your mercy I was able to practice little
spiritual life for one year. Due to this practice and your unlimited mercy my desire to join Iskcon was
strengthened. Finally you have fulfilled my desire of joining your movement(jey prasade pure sarva
asha). Thank you Prabhupada.
Now my only desire is to serve you eternally. Whatever I am today is only because of your mercy. Please
keep me at your lotus feet forever. Please give me strength to follow your instructions and there by
please you. Please guide me so that I may not commit any offense at lotus feet of vaishnavas even in the
mind. Please protect me from false pride and false ego.
Your mercy is like the cloud which pours water everywhere, in desert or in the ocean. I am a sinful
person with all asuric qualities but your mercy is so unlimited that you have changed me with your
divine glance and blessings upon me. By your mercy I am able to read your books and understand as far
VyasaPuja2011

as you reveal to me. By your mercy I am able to see the beauty of Krishna Balaram in our Mangalore
center.
I thank Lord Krishna and Lord Chaithanya for giving me such a nice spiritual master who can deliver the
most fallen souls who are in the dark well of material world. Srila Prabhupada, please settle the guru
issue that is going now in our movement, so that we can spread our movement very rapidly under your
leadership. Thank you Prabhupada for giving me an opportunity to glorify your divine grace. I beg your
pardon for the offenses I have committed at your lotus feet knowingly or unknowingly.

Prabhupada please accept my humble obeisance unto your lotus feet. Due to your mercy anybody can
attain Krishna. Prabhupad by your mercy so many living entities are able to chant and serve Radha
Krishna. Your are an eternal devotee of Lord Krishna and spiritual master of whole world. By the light of
knowledge you opened my eyes. Only your are my hope. Due to your mercy and Krishnas mercy, I
joined this movement otherwise my life would have been a waste. You saved me from material disease
and provided the chance to serve Krishna that is ultimate goal of human life.
For the benefit of people in age of 70 you went to foreign country. During journey you got heart attack,
however you preached the Krishna consciousness and fulfilled the order of your spiritual master. You
gave chance to foreign country people to be a Krishna conscious person. By your endeavour you
converted Mlecha and Yavana into Vaishnava. You built 108 Krishna temples and many gurukulas. Out
of your pure love and kindness, like Jesus Christ, you are forgiving the devotees who have disobeyed and
disrespected to accept you as the Sole diksha in ISKCON. But even though you may forgive them, but
Lord Krishna would not since offense to a pure devotee is taken seriously by Krishna but not by the
devotee. Prabhupada by your mercy devotees are opening new temples and are trying to put you back in
the position most suited to you as Saviour of the whole world. Anyone tries to stop the growth of your
movement is actually a demon.
No body can stop your movement because it is lord Caitanyas desire to spread this movement to every
village, city and town. No body can check pure devotee like you and Krishnas desire .Some demons in
form of devotees want to stop this movement like foolish child, who try to play with fire. Small child try
to play with fire due to ignorance.Similarly thee demons are trying to stop the Krishna movement.
Prabhupad I want to serve your movement and fulfil your desire but it can only possible by your mercy
and Krishna mercy. Maya is so strong that any thing can happen with anybody but if want to save me
then Maya cannot do any thing.
Prabhupada it is my humble request to you to please keep me always in your service and bless me so that
I can chant nicely and follow the four regulative principles.
Your are my life and soul. Whatever I spoke about you that is very very little. Actually nobody can fully
glorify you.

Srila Prabhupada,
I pay my humble obeisance to you. Today is the most auspicious day of your divine appearance. Singing
your glories every moment, engaging in service of your lotus feet is the most sublime way of fetching
attraction of the lord, that which is eluding me always.
Hence, desiring the same, I humbly request you to shower your blessings on this rebellious servant of
yours. Internal and External Challenges apart, my service to you and the lord should never be
interrupted by the aspects of time, place and situations. This remains my humble prayer.
You are the guiding principle behind, the torchlight of knowledge in the front, helping each one of us,
irrespective of our degree of surrender, to help attain the divine abode, an aspect of divine
consciousness, KRISHNA Consciousness, which all of us inherently have.
Some innocent souls and weak jivas may miss out a wonderful opportunity to stick on to your lotus feet
and may get dragged away because of many reasons known and unknown. Hence I pray you to shower
your mercy more on those souls who have taken shelter of your paraphernalia like devotees, movement
etc.
ISKCON, your movement, will go on. There is no doubt on this fact. Names do not matter, what matters
is the purpose. It is up to us to grab this opportunity and make understand other jivas the significance of
this human life and the benefit of taking to this glorious movement. Hence devotees of HK movement
have a very big responsibility especially the leaders.
Anything done to help sustain, protect, develop the HK movement or to Participate in any way for
helping the cause of preaching Krishna Consciousness would be appreciated by Lord Chaitanya and his
devout followers like you. These are the devotees who would be empowered to carry out your movement
forward.
Harinma (Sankirtan), stra (Transcendental Knowledge) and prasda are the instruments of preaching
you employed. Only your words could stir a hard soul having corrupted intelligence and make him
surrender. Intellectual word jugglery would be smashed and real devotion to the lord on the basis of
surrender and transcendental knowledge would surely triumph.
The Same formula taught by you, applies at all times. You have revealed all that is needed for us to make
use to widen your movement in all domains. This is your movement empowered by the lord. No one can
stop it.
There is only one mantra that is Hare Krishna Maha Mantra. There is only one movement. That is
ISKCON. There is only one Acharya. That is You, Srila Prabhupada.
Who are those fortunate devotees who have taken shelter of the boat, of which you are the Captain? No
ends for your marvelous glories, for you have taken complete shelter of that Endless Supreme Absolute.

Maha Bhagavat Dasa
I offer my humble obeisances at your lotus feet on this auspicious occasion.
I was born in ignorance and you have opened my eyes by torch of knowledge.
Prabhupada, you are a great captain of the ship of Lord Chaitanyas movement through which you are
giving us an opportunity to cross over the ocean of material miseries by engaging in the devotional
service of Lord Sri Krishna. No one can glorify Krishna without the mercy of Guru like you.
My entry into Krishna consciousness is a kind of great blessing. I never ever expected that I will be a
part of your transcendental movement one day. I do not find any person like you with utmost purity
VyasaPuja2011

and love and by whose mercy I have been awarded the opportunity to practice Krishna consciousness in
the association of devotees.
Please shower your mercy upon me so that I can follow your orders properly. Please forgive me for all
my offenses committed at your lotus feet.
Your servant,
Maha Bhagavata Dasa
Mahaprabhu Gauranga Dasa
I offer My Humble Obeisances at your lotus feet.
On the most auspicious day of your Divine Grace appearance I would like to take the opportunity to say
few things. Somehow I passed more than 7 years in ISKCON without doing any substantial service. And
today, somehow I am sticking in ISKCON, it is because of your mercy alone. Indeed, I have no
qualifications to be a full time devotee in ISKCON because of being aggressive in nature, short tempered
and always after sense gratification. If at all I am doing little service to Krishna that is due to your mercy
alone. Nowadays I stick to my Sadhana which you have prescribed to some extent and I want to improve
more qualitatively. Please bless me to stick to my Sadhana schedule and do it very nicely.
I am always thinking negatively and losing self-confidence. I also find faults in everyone though I am full
of fault and I always torture my mind even for silly things. I have got a lot of material desires and very
strong attachments for material things. I am unable to come out of these habits. So please bless me to
come out of these bad habits and become positive in thinking, become free from fault finding, keep my
mind equipoise always, get free from material desires, so that I can discharge my duty properly.
I would like to preach Krishna Consciousness extensively but I am unable to do it because I have many
demoniac qualities which hinder a lot to preach Krishna Consciousness. I am sure that one day I will get
freed from the demoniac qualities and preach Krishna Consciousness by your causeless mercy. May you
fulfill my desire to start preaching Krishna Consciousness as early as possible? I am eagerly waiting for
the day to please you more by preaching Krishna Consciousness. I do not like to preach others unless I
practice first. So please bestow your causeless mercy upon this fallen soul to practice Krishna
Consciousness properly and very seriously, so that I can start my preaching work.
I am bit afraid of the future of your Movement because of the so called Gurus are taking away your
Movement to fulfill their own sense gratification without doing any substantial preaching work. They are
neither preaching nor allowing us to preach and they are simply disturbing us. Please bestow your mercy
upon them to come to their senses and understand that you are the sole Diksha Guru of ISKCON forever
and worship you alone not any other bogus gurus.
Dear Prabhupada,
I am eternally indebted and grateful to you for showing me the path to serve Krishna and guiding me
always. My humble request is to you that kindly bless me to be always engaged in your service birth after
birth. I may take more and more responsibility to serve your mission with great zeal and vigor. Kindly be
merciful unto me that I may never deviate from Krishna Consciousness at any point of time and I may
never leave ISKCON and never give up the association of Vaishnavas.
Dear Prabhupada,
VyasaPuja2011

I beg your forgiveness upon this fallen soul for having committed offences at your lotus feet knowing or
unknowingly. Be gracious on me that I may never commit any offences at the lotus feet of any
Vaishnavas and I should be always ready and eager to serve them whole heartedly.
Mahaprabhu Gauranga Dasa

Time has come once again to make a conscious effort to recognize your divine graces extraordinary
grace on this divine day of your appearance.
Human beings, even though have been awarded a better vehicle to take off to the spiritual world, are
underutilizing the best opportunity given due to ignorance. Sheer plans in innovating new technological
gadgets, the new generation of the todays world are untiringly finding a ray of hope to remain eternally
happy in this mortal world. Such deeply engrossed conditioned souls even though are given sufficient
experience of getting slaughtered again and again through the wheel of time, still does not wake up to
return to his constitutional position, as an eternal servant of Krishna.
VyasaPuja2011

Being a victim of the glamour of the material world and deeply infected with the disease of materialism,
Srila Prabhupada, you being a pure devotee of Lord Krishna descended to this mortal world with a
medicine to cure this mad disease of the conditioned souls and place us on the healthy platform of
Krishna Consciousness through your divine teachings. Srila Prabhupada, Your divine purports, which is
an abode of all spiritual strength, serves as a medicine to everyone to cut all the hard knots of the soul
entangled with matter. Your teachings act as torchlight to guide us to get out of the dense dungeon of
material world. A true Senapathi, as predicted by Lord Chaitanya came true by your divine grace. You
held the divine teachings of Lord Chaitanya in the core of your heart and propagated it boldly to the
whole world smashing all flaw theories on the Absolute Truth.
Starting a new life at the age of 70, going to a place which is engrossed deeply in ignorance, without
anyone shelter and care, staying with barbaric people, tolerating all unpalatable situations - only a
person like you with absolute purity, compassion, humility, patience and unconditional love can only
bring about a change in the life of those who are leading a life of human beings, but with enormous
animalistic propensities.
Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu delivered only Jagai and Madhai. But, your movement is even more
glorious since it is delivering thousands and thousands of Jagais and Madhais.
It is mentioned that the doors to the spiritual world which was eternally closed for the nitya baddhas like
me gets opened up by the causeless mercy of a pure devotee who blesses the conditioned souls by giving
opportunity to render some service unto him. It is also mentioned that that attraction to the Supreme
Lord can manifest, only when one gets the opportunity to serve a pure devotee of the Lord.
Srila Prabhupada, you have given me a wonderful opportunity to serve your mission in the midst of
wonderful disciples through establishing ISKCON.
You mentioned that These branches are like the oasis in a vast desert. In the desert there is no water,
but occasionally if one is fortunate he may come in contact with an oasis and he is saved. Similarly in
this material world we are drying up due to lack of spiritual knowledge. Our ISKCON centers are meant
to give relief to the dried up conditioned souls who are searching after the nectar of joyful life. So I
request you and all other members of ISKCON to flood the world with Krishna Conscious centers and
realize the prediction of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu"
As we are marching towards to fulfill your desire in establishing new branches of oasis in large scale, it is
really painful to face impediments caused by our own god brothers by which your wonderful movement
is undergoing turmoil now. While one enjoys the fruit of Krishna Consciousness given by you, a person
who is really insane and blind, materially to recognize your graces contribution & spiritually to
understand your divine position, can only deny you as the SOLE GURU in ISKCON.
Srila Prabhupada, as you mentioned that Universal brotherhood is possible, only if we accept Krishna as
Universal father. Similarly, Universal god brotherhood in ISKCON is possible, only if we accept you as
our SOLE GODFATHER.
I pray for the day when everyone would proclaim without any hesitation that YOU are the ONLY GURU
in ISKCON, YOU are the only shelter and YOU are the only hope for all of us. Falling at your divine
feet, I pray to you to give all strength to your sincere followers to proclaim this truth all over the world.
Empower us with sufficient strength to defeat this illusion which has covered most part of ISKCON of
not accepting you as the SOLE GURU.
Srila Prabhupada, while many souls are loitering in the gutter of material world, I have become the
recipient of your diving graces special grace to be saved from this struggle for existence. Once you
mentioned that I have lifted you from gutter. Please do not forget it. I am fortunate to come in touch
with your great movement. But it is only my misfortune of having not taking it seriously and
contributed to my maximum.
On this very day of your divine appearance, with all humility and shame, I catch your divine lotus feet
and beg you to forgive me for my offenses committed knowing and unknowingly towards you and your
VyasaPuja2011

sincere followers. Kindly continue to shower your divine blessings upon this unworthy disciple of yours
and help me to uproot my anarthas whereby one day I can stand before you boldly as a true disciple of
yours accepting you as my TRUE SAVIOUR wholeheartedly.
Today, by your special mercy all the obstacles which we had been facing to start the Nava Brindavan
Dham are getting cleared slowly. Kindly remove all the limitations of individual and collective in
creating a hub for many souls to seek your shelter.
Falling at your divine feet, I beg you to guide me to grow spiritually and also help others in a way that is
pleasing to you.
Aspiring to be a sincere disciple of yours,
Rasika Shekara Dasa

nama om vishnu-padaya krishna-presthaya bhutale srimate bhaktivedanta- svamin iti namine
namas te sarasvate deve gaura-vani-pracharine nirvishesha-shunyavadi-paschatya-desha tarine
Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
The past one year has been quite an eventful and a high point in terms of my spiritual milestones. With
both Ritvik Initiation and Brahmana Initiation happening in a short span of months, it was a double
blessing by you, Srila Prabhupada. I am still not sure, of how worthy I am of these, as I was neither a
spiritual seeker nor a person endowed with brahminical qualifications by birth. You have bestowed these
causeless blessings and a vital responsibility on me; please help me lead a life fulfilling these
responsibilities to you.
The past year also saw one of the worst fears I had for a long time, right from the days before joining
ISKCON come true, that of becoming a preacher. By nature, I was not a thinking talker, not comfortable
talking to strangers, shy and a reserved sort of a personality. More importantly I never liked to preach, I
only liked to hear. I thought I had understood the philosophy and was happy practicing it myself. I
always thought I would not be able to handle this responsibility of preaching, but I had heard Madhu
Pandit Prabhu say in a Bhagavatam class that even though personally one may not like preaching, still
one should motivate oneself to do it for the love of Lord Krishna and Srila Prabhupada. Also, the
Chaitanya Mahaprabhu pastime of an brahmana trying to read Bhagavad Gita in Srirangam, even though
illiterate, just to follow the instruction of his Spiritual Master motivated me to give a try in Preaching.
Preaching was a totally new experience, Srila Prabhupada you knew I would not be able to handle it in a
single go; you created a favorable circumstances so that gradually I would be able to handle the
VyasaPuja2011

responsibilities of a preacher. Once I started preaching, did I realize, how fragile my understanding of
the philosophy was, and also of the fact that without preaching, without realizations, one cannot
advance spiritually. It gave me an opportunity to surrender more, become more serious about my
sadhana and chanting. Also, I am gradually coming to realize that without being spiritually pure one
cannot produce results in the preaching field.
The past few months have also seen one of my cherished dreams coming true. Deity worship,
rendering personal service to the deities bathing them, dressing them, worshipping them has all made
me more attached to the deities. Thanks, Srila Prabhupada for giving me such an opportunity and
making deity worship an integral part of the temple program. For most of the people having a darshan of
the deities is a pleasurable thing, and here you are giving me an opportunity to render personal service
to their lordships, what more should I ask for?
Srila Prabhupada your movement is going through a very turbulent phase, with constant attacks from
the demons in every possible way. I do understand, your lila is going on which will definitely end up in
establishing your Divine Grace as the sole diksha guru in all ISKCON temples. Please give me the
strength to endure and safeguard your movement to the best of my capacity in this transition phase.
Please forgive for any of the offenses committed knowingly or unknowingly at the feet of Vaishnavas and
also the guidance not to repeat the same.
Your unworthy disciple,
Saumya Rupa Krishna Dasa
Srivatsa Dasa
Please accept my humble & respectful obeisances to your lotus feet.
One of the question that was pondering in my mind was Why have I joined your movement?. I was
not getting proper answer for this for many days. I was scared for some time to think about this. First of
all I dont have any qualification of joining, then how did I join. After closely associating with devotees
& reading your books, I changed the question to myself. Then I was able to get answer for that. I
reframed question as Prabhupada, Why you have made me to join your movement?. It means you have
chalked out activities those have to be simply executed, then why should I think. It was so simple. From
that time onwards I am just like a soldier, waiting for your command.
If I look back to my life, I think a person like me cannot get a chance to serve in the temple & that too
KRISHNAs temple, it is impossible. Such a pathetic life that it is painful to recall. But by your grace,
now, I feel happy by serving two transcendental brothers KRISHNA & BALARAM. Everyday, I have
Krishnas darshan. Only fortunate will get such chance.
I still remember my school days how I was more keen in celebrating festivals & going to pilgrimage.
Once, I & my parents planned to go for pilgrimage. The day before going to pilgrimage was filled with
lots of planning & preparing. There was so much eagerness to see the next day to come. At next day, we
used to get up early in the morning, may be sometimes before sunrise, or forgetting sleeping sometimes,
whole day we used to spend visiting temples. We still not feeling any tiredness. So much enthusiasm will
be there that we will forget sometimes demands of the body, sleeping & eating. Such things I used to
experience occasionally may be once in two years or one. But you see here the difference now,
Prabhupada. Now, I have such eagerness to act in the temple, but EVERYDAY. Whole day will be filled
with such enlivening temple activities which are more pleasing to Krishna & guru. All these things are
happening because of your mercy. I request you that please fill such zeal more & more by your
instructive books & engage me in devotional activities.
I cannot even trace out the days when I came in touch with you & your movement. Now I feel that you
know me eternally, as if I was with you for many lifetimes. As & when I attend guru pooja, that time it
rebinds & tightens our relationship even more. I request you that in my future days also please add me
as your eternal servant & constantly instruct me.
VyasaPuja2011

I have been doing little bit service to temple, by constant guidance of you & senior devotees. To be
frank, sometimes I may not have followed your instruction hundred percent or sometimes I have taken it
as a casual act. Please forgive me if, I have done any activities against authorities or you. Please excuse all
those offenses, pardon me & kindly make me a serious & sincere follower of you.
Once again I thank you for giving me a kind chance to serve the Spiritual master and Krishna, in this
life.
Thanking you
Your Servant

I offer my respectful obeisances unto my spiritual master, the deliverer of all fallen souls, whose mercy
turns the dumb into eloquent speakers, and enables the lame to cross mountains.
Srila Prabhupada, only when you bestow your mercy, I am able to submit this offering.
Prabhupadas Mercy has no bounds, he is the savior of the whole world, I have no words to glorify you,
but we can see his glories in ISKCON, you went to USA with only 40 rupees in hand, with 3 major Heart
attacks in the Jaladuta ship, but faith on Krishna, his guru maharajs order he went to English speaking
world, to spread the message of Godhead, i.e. to surrender to Krishna. He made hippies to surrender to
Krishna and gave them a new life, he initiated more than 10,000 disciples, thousands of followers and
supporters, many people from India went their to spread god consciousness, but everyone failed, but
VyasaPuja2011

Srila Prabhupada in his old age he preached, convinced and made people dedicate to practice krsna
consciousness, has any one done in the past, or can do in the future, only Prabhupada did and is still
doing through his books and will continue in the future.. Lakhs people are chanting Hare Krishna
Mantra, as it stated in the CC Madhya Lila 19.151
ei rpe brahma bhramite kona bhgyavn jva guru-ka-prasde pya bhakti-lat-bja
Among all the living entities wandering throughout the universe, one who is most fortunate comes in
contact with a representative of the Supreme Personality of Godhead and thus gets the opportunity to
execute devotional service. Those who are sincerely seeking the favor of Ka come in contact with a
guru, a bona fide representative of Ka.
In My case its by your causeless mercy you have picked me up from gutter some years ago and engaged
me in the service of their Lordships Sri Sri Krishna Balarama and Sri Sri Gaura Nitai n Mysore, In my
college days I thought Ill become a Pilot and earn good Salary and settle my self and I had craze to
become like my friends, but before getting into the ocean of sinful life, through your devotees,
preaching to me ,who were in touch with me. In spite of offending them in so many ways ,as the saying
goes empty mind is a devils workshop, but I was saved not one time but every moment,. Before writing
this offering I was hearing a lecture, in which the story follows, there was a ordinary man, not like you.
His name was the Pied Piper. This Pied Piper stole all the city children from their mothers and fathers
and took them to a far away place. It is not that you are like this ordinary man, but in the same way you
have not only taken me but also you have placed thousands of conditioned soul in the safest place i.e.,
ISKCON.
There are so many instances in my life or every day is a realization which inspires me to engage in your
service , ie to follow your instruction, despite all the opportunities given by you, I am lacking in serving
your mission as directed by you in your lectures, books.. Every lecture your are always requesting
kindly follow KC , dont give up this KC , it is very rare to come in contact with Krsna , In spite of such
wonderful statements by you, I havent understood the essence of your instructions that is to always
serve Krishna through his Pure Devotees,.
The past three months I am unable to chant attentively. Please show your causeless mercy upon me so
that I could chant attentively in spite of the troubles in this material world. Prabhupada, only by your
words I can overcome the arrangements of maya and surrender to the Lord. When ever my mind is
unfavorable, I Hear your lecture and all my illusion in mind is washed away and gives me strength to go
ahead in life, please give me the knowledge to understand your words by your books. Kindly help me to
practice. I am finding difficult to practice even though I can understand the truth. Only by your mercy I
can try to follow your instruction. Prabhupada, by your causeless mercy Krishna Consciousness has
given a meaning to my life. Now I am able to understand the mission of ISKCON. The association with
your books has cleared my ignorance and made me happy
One should be fortunate enough to stay in the house of the supreme Lord. But I am taking all the
facilities for granted and not using in proper direction. Please make me to realize this fact and use them
in proper direction.
There are so many devotees around the world who are following bogus gurus and the gurus who are
quarreling for your disciples. But in our temple our president and senior devotees have started Revival of
Your Original Iskconto teach the world who is the guru of ISKCON that is SRILA PRABHUPADA.
Please empower them with your unlimited blessings
Every day you are giving me an opportunity to go ahead in Spiritual Life, forgetting my Past, this is your
compassion towards me, not only to me but to Thousands of soul.
Many instance I have seen devotees leaving your mission, for small issues, please dont let it happen to
me. you are engaging me in services which I am not eligible for, my only request or one of my
requests, kindly engage me in your service, dont make me proud of myself, if at all you think I can be
engaged in your service then engage me. I Dont Know about my Next Life, . But in this life, by your
VyasaPuja2011

grace I have come in contact with this movement, and I would never want to give up your movement in
any situation till last breath in my life. Its not possible by my own endeavor, if it is possible its only by
your mercy. If you think I can be accommodated in your mission please do It, if not still requests you
not to send me back, I am always afraid due to my lack of serving attitude.
I am committing countless offences unto devotees, which are considered to be mad elephant offences
which can smash the beautiful garden of spiritual life. I request you to give me strength to stop this mad
elephant and cultivate the creeper of devotional service which is planted by you.
You have called me HOME to work for you. Its your desire to see me in your home as your child, I do
not know if I am capable of serving your mission with care & intelligence. I fear Prabhupada , dont let
me go, in which ever situation you want to keep this conditioned soul, you can , but kindly give me
strength to follow your instruction.
You have picked me up from a filthy place and made me a fortunate soul to practice KC since my
childhood. Please bless me that, with all my imperfections & limited knowledge, I serve you; Please
guide me when I am lonely. With out coming in touch with you, my life would have been rotting in hell.
Please bless me
I am grateful to you Prabhupada for tolerating me.
Trying to Serve You

Bhakta Himanshu
Dear, Srila Prabhupada please accepts my humble obeisance unto your lotus feet.
Prabhupada, this is my 4
th
VYASA` POOJA and 3
rd
offering to you. Prabhupada you are savior of the
whole world. As sastra says GURU is the practical manifestation of PARMATMA which is seated in
everyones heart. You are connecting fallen soul of this material world to KRISHNA by giving them
Prabhupada, you are the worlds biggest history, present and future maker. Yes at the age of 70 year and
in only 10year you gave unlimited things to this world like 108 temples, 10000 surrendered devotees of
lord Krishna. Thousands of lectures, conversation, Prasadam, kirtan, books, and deities worship so that
we can serve Krishna as devotees are serving in VAIKUNTHA.
You are the ideal for the devotees and whole world. You established ISKCON like desire tree or
kamadhenu cow which can full fill the desire of everyone. As you know, Prabhupad after your physical
departure all ritviks become guru they took your position and slowly slowly so many gurus emerged in
ISKCON and ISKCON also got divided. But because of your CAUSELESS MERCY I came in touch with
real ISKCON and in ISKCON also only real ISKCON WHERE you are the only GURU for the next 10000
years. And that is Srila Prabhupadas ISKCON Bangalore. Many times by seeing problem in system or my
own problem I get disturbed but I dont know there are so many higher problem is there and I can not
experience that, how the senior devotees are handling that problem. Prabhupad please give strength to
your all devotees and especially senior devotees those who are handling guru issue and all big problem
in Iskcon. My only desire is there for this regard is when international GBC will accept you as
Guru(Spiritual Master) and all Iskcon will follow your instruction. Prabhupada, I am not able to glorify
you in thousands of pages also.
Prabhupad in last year offering I was a folk boy and I wrote or desire to you make also an instrument in
your hand and this year when I m writing offering I am already 6 months old instrument in your hand
by your causeless mercy and I never thought that i can practise bramacharya for even a month, but its
only by your created system(Aasharm) , association of your devotees and causeless mercy by you I could
able to follow , before joining I was having so many family problem and I was also hesitating to join but
VyasaPuja2011

only by your mercy, I joined and now I donot having any doubt and problem and my family member is
slowly solving.
Prabhupad I never ever able to think I will be like this in future. Before joining I was having so many
aims in my life but after joining or understating you I have only one aim to serve you till last breath of
my life.
Prabhupad, whatever you gave me in the form of Krishna consciousness, chanting, devotees association,
prasadam, kirtan, books (time bombs) and so many things . I will not able to repay your debt in millions
of life also.
Prabhupada I have some desires,
1. When I will get taste for the chanting of Hare Krishna mantra.
2. When I will stop committing offences against the vaishnavas and devotees.
3. Please give me strength so that I will not misuse my freewill as progressing in spiritual life.
4. When I will become your initiated disciple.
Prabhupad, by your mercy I am always getting thoughts of propagating your glories.As Bhaghavatam
says a pure Devotee of the lord should be more honored than lord himself.
Prabhupad in your whole pastime on this planet you always propagated the glories of Krishna and his
holy name. in this world people are knowing ISKCON, hare Krishna hare rama, but nobody knows
Prabhupad because you always kept yourself behind the curtain.
Now as a your disciple its my duty to propagate your glories in the whole world, every day in guru
pooja we sing Abe yash ghusuk tribhuvane o, Krishna o Prabhupad please give me means and way so
that I can spread the glories of spiritual master of the whole world his divine grace A .C bhaktivedanta
swami Prabhupada.
Prabhupada, Please always keep me in the service of your lotus feet.
Bh. Himanshu
Bhakta Radhakrishna
Please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet. You are disciple of the Great Pure Devotee Srila
Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura who is the personified teachings of Lord Caitanya. You travelled all
over the world many times and you have planted the seed of Krishna Bhakti in the hearts of millions of
helpless conditioned souls. You have established temples and farm communities all over the world,
which are pockets of vaikuntas in this temporary world of suffering and you gave shelter to many fallen
souls, of whom the most ungrateful is me. I ask forgiveness for my ungratefulness and lack of
seriousness and write this offering to you as an attempt to glorify your Divine Grace and offer you my
insincere gratitude.
Few months back I watched and got very much attracted to some ISKCON Classic videos like Brilliant as
Sun, The Hare Krishna People, The World of Hare Krishna and New Vrindavan etc. When I first
watched these videos I understood what your movement is offering to me and everyone else. I saw in
those videos that everyone working in the whole Bhaktivedanta Book Trust were devotees. Starting from
the person who typed your translations, to the editor, the painter, the printing machine operator, the
receptionist, the packer, the transport truck driver and the book distributor. Same thing I saw even in
the Spiritual Sky incense production unit. Each and everyone was a devotee with tilak, some having
shika, some in saffron, some in white, some in plain karmi cloths, some are men, some are women,
young and old etc the whole society of devotees in that video who are doing there assigned services.
When I was joining some people asked me that if everyone in this world became like you how it will
VyasaPuja2011

run. At that time I told them that world will be a much better place if that happens and all people will be
devotees doing their respective jobs, but somehow I could not convince them. Now I have a chance to
directly show them such a society where each and every individual doing different jobs from menial to
managerial are devotees.
They all are your disciple regardless of their position and all worship Lord Krishna. The video of New
Vrindavan in West Virginia where all devotees were working on farms, growing grains, fruits and
vegetables and taking care of cows nicely and doing deity worship was very inspiring. The devotees even
built a temple where starting from brick laying to marble polishing and designing was done by devotees
themselves, total self sufficiency. I knew that people in Vedic times lived like that and I used to love this
kind of life from childhood but I never knew that this was actually possible, that people can still live in
such simple, happy and pure way, even in this modern mechanical age without missing out on the
technology entirely.
Your ideas of Book Distribution, Temples, Farm Communities, Gurukuls, Prasadam Distribution,
Sankitan, Life Membership, Youth Preaching, Congregation Preaching, Magazine Distribution,
Paraphernalia and Incense business, Festivals, Rath Yatras, Deity Worship and Management Directives
are Revolutionary. They are so practical and simple, yet so powerful that they can make anyone into a
devotee of Lord Krishna. Here everyone can be part of your mission, no caste, age, gender or race
restrictions. Then I understood why one astrologer told that you can build a house under which the
whole world can live. Each and everyone is a devotee regardless of what service he is doing because he is
doing it for Lord Krishna under your authorisation. I never liked communism before but this spiritual
communism I like very much because it guarantees happiness in life. Each and everything in ISKCON
only gives happiness because it is connected directly to Lord Krishna by your mercy. I really want to be a
part of your mission and become Krishna Conscious.
But I am very sad and angry to see the present condition of your Glorious Movement. Your own disciples
have poisoned you and are now destroying your movement. Please empower the devotees of ISKCON
Bangalore and other group of temples to reform these devotees, bring back the old glory of your
movement and act according to your instructions and your vision, and I beg you to allow me to be a part
of it. I can only benefit from your mission and cannot give anything in return, but please let me stay. I
beg for your forgiveness for the mistakes I have done, please show mercy on me. I am a conditioned soul
and my conditioning is restricting my spiritual growth. I am ashamed of my inability to perform
sadhana, reading and service. You have given me shelter and saved me from unimaginable amount of
pain and suffering, but I am not able to follow your simple instructions. I have tried to reform myself
several times but I have failed again and again. Some improvement is definitely there and I am very
thankful for that. Please bless me so that Ill always be in association of devotees and get a chance to
practice all the rules and regulations given by you without unnecessary disturbances of outside world. I
have been so happy in ashram that I did not have much homesickness. I joined expecting to enjoy life
eating prasadam, dancing and playing mridanga and kartal in sankirtan, doing service and understanding
and preaching about Lord Krishna and by your mercy I am getting lot more enjoyment than what I had
imagined and prayed for. Please give me patience, enthusiasm and determination to put more effort to
improve myself and follow orders of authorities properly. Please help me, I have nothing but your mercy
which can help me continue sadhana and service in ashram.

My dear Spiritual Master A C Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada thanking you for giving me an
opportunity to glorify You on this auspicious day.
This is my 2
nd
year in Krishna Consciousness movement. But I must admit my frailties that still I am
seeking my own protection and welfare instead of contributing to the movement and working for your
pleasure.
Prabhupad, you are very compassionate towards this conditional soul. You have given me opportunity to
live in the abode of Jaganath (Puri) and be an instrument in Lord Chaitanyas mission. Last year was
complete learning and training for me, which is again your mercy. Your Divine Grace, Help me become
strong & fixed up in this movement.
In this present age of dilemma, chaos & anarchy, those who are under your shade are very fortunate
souls who are receiving your saving Grace. No one can understand about transcendental subject matter
and cross over this Bhav Sagar without the mercy of Pure Devotee. Although this face is known to all
who are practicing Bhakti Yoga, but very few are under your direct shelter and receiving your mercy.
By your grace, I am very content that I am part of Iskcon Bangalore (Radha Krishna Mandir) where we
accept only you as the sole Diksha Guru of ISKCON Society.
Your Divine Grace, due to your love and guidance, everyday in this movement is thrilling. I am sincerely
trying to follow Your instructions, and four regulative principles, which is the only hope for me to show
my gratitude towards Your Divine Grace.
In the process, I am committing lots of offences against Vaishnavas, Holy name and Deities. Therefore I
offer my respectful danvat obeisance unto you again and again & beg your mercy, promising not to
repeat again.
Srila Prabhupada, Your are very munificent more than anyone else in the Acharya Line.
Prabhupad, you are like the sun, who can dissipate complete darkness from my heart, but I am so foolish
that I am not opening the door completely. When will that day come, when I will take pleasure in
serving your mission? Always seeking your causeless mercy.
Your defective servant
Chandra Lochan Krishna Dasa.
Chinmaya Krishna Dasa
With my limited intelligence and knowledge, I am trying to follow Your instructions through the system
set by You. i.e.,
r-vigrahrdhana-nitya-nn- gra-tan-mandira-mrjandau
yuktasya bhakt ca niyujato 'pi vande guro r-cararavindam.
Though it took me lot of time to understand the essence of Your instructions, but, nevertheless, I
benefited due to staunch faith and patiently waiting for the opportunity to serve to my level best.
By Your causeless mercy, I am getting abundant opportunities to serve and spread Your mission.
VyasaPuja2011

Kindly give me intelligence and guidance to serve You better from time to time otherwise I will become
proud and puffed up. This will again bind me in the miseries of material life.
Let me continue as a part/instrument in establishing Srila Prabhupada as the only sole Diksha Guru in
ISKCON.
Your Servant,
Chinmaya Krishna Dasa.
Jagannatha Prasada Dasa
My dearmost Spiritual Master,
Please accept my humble obeiscances unto your Lotus Feet. Even though I am the most wretched,
degraded, fallen soul You have given me a chance to associate with Your wonderful ISKCON Hare
Krishna movement. Because of Your causeless mercy I got a chance to serve KRISHNA.O master I am
such a downtrodden fellow and fool number one, I dont know ABC in Krishna consciousness, still I am
able to preach about Krishna and about His servants to the general public in an understandable way by
Your causeless mercy. Please shower Your causeless mercy on me in great surplus so that I can become a
good instrument in spreading Krishna consciousness all over the world which is Your desire and
Krishnas desire. Srila Prabhupada, please always train my mind and give me intelligence to work
according to your norms. O Master I dont want to work for my sense gratification rather I have a strong
desire to satisfy HRISIKESA. This desire will be fulfilled by Your causeless mercy. When You show a
drop of mercy on me I can perform any task for the pleasure of Krishna.
Gurudev ! By a drop of Your mercy make this servant of Yours more humbler than a blade of grass. Give
me the strength to bear all trials and troubles, and free me from all desires of personal honour. O Lord
and Master invest me with power to properly honor all living beings. Only then will I sing the Holy
Name in great ecstasy and will all my offences cease. O Lord and Master, when will this fallen soul be
blessed by obtaining Your mercy? I am low, fallen and devoid of all strength and intelligence. Please
make me your beloved servant .When I examine myself , I find nothing of my value, Your mercy is
therefore essential to me. If You are not merciful then no one will take care of me. Krishna is looking
after me with great care and attention because I am there in Your movement. You are the most dearest
servant of the Lord. Anytime if I have offended You, Please forgive me.
Vancakalpa tarubhyas ca krpa sindhubhya eva ca patitanam pavanebhyo vaisnavebhyo namonamah.
O Vaishnava Thakura!O ocean of mercy, be merciful to me, Your servant of the servant of the servant
and purify me by the shade of Your Lotus Feet. Your feet I humbly hold. By controlling my six urges
(those of speech, the mind, the anger, the tongue, the belly and genitals) and purifying me of the six
faults(which are overeating or collecting more monetary funds than required, overendeavouring for
material objectives, unnecessary talking about mundane affairs, being too attached to or too neglectful of
scriptural rules and regulations, associating with worldly minded persons and lusting after mundane
achievements) please give to Your servant of the servant of the servant the six good qualities which are
(the enthusiasm, patience, confidence, the determination to perform activities favourable to devotional
service, the resolution to abandon the non devotees and the required to always follow in the footsteps of
predecessor Acharyas).Oh Lord give me six kinds of holy association.
O my Lord and Master! Alone, I find I have no strength to chant the Holy Name of Lord HARI.I beg You,
therefore, please be merciful and with a particle of faith give me the great treasure of the HolyName of
Krishna. O My Master, Krishna is Yours. You are able to give Him to Me, for such is Your power. I am
transcendentally proud for I have taken the shelter of such a powerful magnanimous, daring and stalwart
Acharya like YOU. Even though Kaliyuga is the age of degradation still our original Bharata varsa culture
has spread all over the world because of your ISKCON society. My Lord, You have built a house where
everybody can live. Please increase the taste in me to always glorify the lord and to spread His glories.
Prabhupada, I have done lot of sinful activities in many millions of lives. You have told us that when we
VyasaPuja2011

chant Hare Krishna Maha Mantra all our sinful trees which are present in the heart will be uprooted
completely. But I am not sincere in chanting the Holy Name attentively. I am begging you earnestly so
that I can have unlimited faith in Krishna and Holy Name so that I will chant the Holy Name for the
satisfaction of Radharani and Krishna. O master please bless me forever so that I eternally hear about
Krishns pastimes forever with full care and attention. As you taught us thinking of the Lotus Feet of the
Lord and hearing about His pastimes makes us free from all miseries. This is an amazing secret revealed
by your grace.
O my Master You have chalked out and given nice process to feel Krishna at every moment. You have so
mercifully distributed Krishna prema in the form of sadhana program. If you just glance a drop of your
mercy my quality and quantity of chanting and glorifying the Lord will increase. Because of my sinful
activities I may get a low grade species. My desire unto Your Lotus Feet is whatever body I may get
,whatever condition I may be, my wish is to serve MUKUNDA with full love and affection. O my Master
as you are the representative of Nityananda Prabhu You have shown causeless mercy on me as
Nityananda Prabhu showed causeless mercy on Jagai and Madhai. O Srila Prabhupada, You have
delivered me by allowing me in Your association. I am obliged unto Your Lotus Feet. If I would have
little power I wish to pay unlimited obeiscances unto Your Lotus Feet. Because of Your causeless mercy I
got tremendous benefit. Master, You have the power to drown the atheistic and all kinds of people in the
ocean of Krishna prema. You are always so merciful to me that you have kept me in the association of
devotees who are following the rules and regulations given by Your grace to their heart and soul. This
association is accelerating my spiritual advancement to the highest extent. For this reason also I am
obliged unto Your Lotus Feet.
It is never possible for me to clear your debt. So I am repeatedly begging you to engage me always in the
service of Your Lotus Feet life after life. Please supersede my free will and always engage me in the
service of our Eternal Master, The Supreme Personality Of GodHead SRI KRISHNA and HIS
Paraphernalia. I dont want anything like power, fame etc . for my sense gratification and let me work for
Krishnas pleasure forever with full endeavour and intelligence without expecting any results. Please
help me in achieving the goal of attaining Krishnas association. I am ready to do any type of service for
Krishna as per Your wish. So If You wish please use me as an instrument in Your hand to spread the
glories of Krishna all over the world.
Devotees of ISKCON Bangalore are struggling to follow Your will at any cost, but the self proclaimed
gurus and their agents of ISKCON are making various sinister plans to occupy your position. So kindly
help the devotees in bringing YOUR supremacy as the soul Diksha Guru not only in ISKCON Bangalore
but also in all other ISKCON temples all over the world. I only desire to engage in the service of Your
Lotus Feet life after life.
Yours undeserved trying to become servant of the servant of the servant,
Jagannatha Prasada Dasa.
Niranjana Bhakta Dasa
Dear Srila Prabhupada, please accept my humble obeisance at Your Lotus Feet,
saksad-dharitvena samasta-sastrair uktas tatha bhavyata eva sadbhih
kintu prabhor yah priya eva tasya vande guroh sri caranaravindam
In the revealed scriptures it is declared that the Spiritual Master should be worshiped like the Supreme
Personality of Godhead and this injunction is obeyed by Pure Devotees of the Lord. The Spiritual Master
is the most confidential servant of the Lord. Thus let us offer our respectful obeisances unto the Lotus
Feet of our Spiritual Master.
We are born in the darkest region of ignorance. By Your causeless mercy we have taken to Krishna
consciousness. Entire world is running towards sense gratification. All educational institutions, big big
VyasaPuja2011

companies lack any spiritual aspects. Practically at the present moment everyone is addicted to
intoxication, gambling, meat eating, illicit sex, without which they think their life is a waste, & for them
everything is god (impersonal philosophy). It is very difficult to make them understand spirituality.
Even if somebody is interested there are hundreds of spiritual centers to easily deviate them with
concocted philosophy. Srila prabhupada, You are so great, You have gone to a place where all are
intoxicated in whirlpool of material enjoyment.
And You have transformed thousands of them to Krishnas devotees and You have set up an organization
where anybody who is interested in Krishna consciousness can join and practice spirituality successfully.
You have given very strong foundation and successful formula to follow regularly like rising early in the
morning, chanting 16 good rounds, kirtan, Bhagavatam class, etc. By following the above one can
practice Krishna consciousness without deviation.
Srila Prabhupada, if You would not have appeared before us to deliver us from the thralldom of this
gross, worldly delusion, surely we should have remained for lives and ages in the darkness of helpless
captivity & we would not have been able to understand the eternal truth of the sublime teaching of Lord
Chaitanya.
Personally, I have no hope for any direct service of the coming crores of births in the sojourn of my life,
but I am confident that some day or other I shall be delivered from this mire of delusion in which I am at
present so deeply sunk. Therefore let me with all my earnestness pray at the Lotus Feet of my Divine
Master to allow me to suffer the lot for which I am destined due to my past misdoings, but to let me have
this power of recollection: that I am nothing but a tiny servant of the Almighty Absolute Godhead,
realized through the unflinching mercy of my Divine Master. Let me therefore bow down at his Lotus
Feet with all the humility at my command.
Your Servant,
Niranjana Bhakta Dasa
Pancha Ratna Dasa
Please Accept My Humble Obeisances
I am so fortunate for being given shelter under Your Lotus Feet although not qualified for this Divine
Mercy. Please pardon me as I am not able to value your mercy. Our prayer to Lord Sri Krishna that we
may be pardoned for any offences committed as it leads to loosing opportunity to serve You with many
hindrances from the other camp. Please give me strength and determination to serve You without being
slave of the forces of mind. Although we learned that we are not this body and mind theoretically, I am
not able to be practical most of the time. Please give me strength to be punctual for sadhana program
especially personal association with You through Your books not less than an hour a day. As we have
come to this material world due to our strong desire for Lording over, we may be subtly exhibiting that
tendency without being alert and focussed on ourselves. Please help me withdraw from this sinful
tendency. Many times our thinking gets diverted from the goal of serving You as an instrument to our
own ultimate welfare with some wrong contemplation and mental speculation. Please help me focus on
the prime goal of rendering devotional service as per Your direction. Once again please pardon me for
any offences committed knowingly or unknowingly to any Vaisnava and unto You Srila Prabhupad. My
dear eternal Spiritual Master, I seek to remain under Your shelter eternally.
Your Servant

Vasudeva Datta Dasa
Please accept my humble obeisances unto Your Lotus Feet. All glories unto You Srila Prabhupada.
I sometimes realize how compassionate You are to pull me unto Your shelter, without whom I would not
have come in touch with Your true ISKCON followers, but would have got attracted towards your so-
called followers, and in even worst case towards so-called spiritual institutions which does not know the
real problem/ goal of human life.
But unfortunately, even after being blessed by Your Divine Grace, I have been so foolish that I could not
follow your basic instructions sincerely. I have been doing many offences Your Lotus Feet, unto
Vaishnavas, unto Holy Name knowingly. Most of the times, I find myself empty-minded bitten by the
fangs of Lords illusory energy, maya, which gives thankless test to all jivas and faithful service to
Krishna.
Two months back, when my father met with an accident and when relatives and my sister came to see
him, I also happened to be there. I wanted to see my parents in Krishna Consciousness. They say that
they will be happy if I am with them and take care of them, as they say it is my duty as a son. But when I
am back to ashram, I realize that my parents, sister, relatives, and friends every one of them are happy
and are in their own lives even without me. It is only through the transcendental knowledge from Your
books one can get that understanding. It is not in my hands to give anyone Krishna Conscious life, but
in Yours. I do not know what will be my consciousness in future, but kindly keep me at Your service
always.
I have been looking/ finding faults in others instead in myself, which will be detrimental for my spiritual
progress. Prabhupada, I depend on You for Your directions to properly think and act. I do not have the
qualities of a sober person.
I am given sufficient service to engage myself entire day in Krishnas service but because of having no
eagerness to be engaged, I waste my time and energy in nothing. I find no strength to fight back my
weaknesses and turn my attention towards devotional service, unless forced by divya jnn from Your
Divine Grace. I will try not to see the process of devotional service as a fruitive activity, which will create
lording over mentality.
I beg for Your mercy to properly schedule/ plan every day and not to misuse the facilities, time for myself
but only to do my service in pleasing my authorities.
I feel unless I am always in fear (of losing devotional service)/tension/problems, it will not be possible for
this fallen soul to remember Krishna and His position.
vipada santu t avat tatra tatra jagad-guro
I beg You to always make me feel pressure for doing sdhana, sravanam, 16 rounds of quality chanting,
strictly following 4 regulative principles which help in depending on Krishna, instead in my own
strength. Srila Prabhupada, I request all my god-brothers, authorities and all Vaishnavas to kindly
forgive me for my offences which are committed in ignorance.
Your most disloyal servant,
Vasudeva Datta Dasa.
Vraja Lila Dasa
All glory to Guru and Gauranga
The material world is a part of Lords creation meant for those, who are envious of the Supreme Lord.
The Lord has given the jiva minute freedom to be independent and try to enjoy in this world. When one
VyasaPuja2011

tries to enjoy independent of the Supreme Lord, Maya Devi, Lords energy creates various opportunities
such as family, friends, society, etc. When one searches like that he comes to an end of unsatisfied state.
Lord Chaitanya says brahma bhramite kona bhgyavn jva guru-ka-prasde pya bhakti-lat-
bja. In such a state, by the mercy of the Supreme Lord such a living entity comes in contact with the
Lord and His pure devotee pastimes and gets attracted. Then he tries to know about the Supreme Lord,
his relation with Him and the process of achieving unlimited spiritual happiness. If by the grace of the
Supreme Lord, the conditioned soul becomes serious and tries to surrender to the Spiritual Master, then
he takes to the process.
I am somehow fortunate to receive that Supreme mercy in the form of the opportunity to come across
Srila Prabhupadas mission. I have been given such a chance to serve the Lord through the medium of
Spiritual Master who trains the surrendered soul as per the desires of the Supreme Lord.
After accepting the shelter of the Guru still, the jiva due to his conditioning for many millions of lives,
tries to lord over the material nature and fails to enjoy independent of the Supreme. Every time one tries
to enjoy independently, one sooner or later realises that matter cannot give ultimate happiness. Then the
jiva searches for happiness in serving the Supreme Lord in devotional service. After knowing all this I
pray to You that this should not just become philosophy but by Your grace it should become a
realisation.
Being in such a state I pray to You Srila Prabhupada, please bless me to understand You and Your
movement and take complete advantage by surrender to You. Bless me to chant the Hare Krishna Mantra
properly and hear attentively and read every day one hour Your books and strictly follow the four
regulative principles. Bless me to follow the process of sadhana and service to the Supreme Lord which
You have given as a medicine to me.
Being Lords Divine plan I have been given all the opportunities to engage myself fully to burn out all my
passion and ignorance and come to goodness to understand You completely. Mind is a very powerful
thing which has ability to contemplate on anything. By nature my mind is conditioned in a particular
way. I pray to engage it in thinking of Holy Name, Supreme Lord and His pastimes. Kindly forgive my
mistakes and offences to You and Vaishnavas which are due to my enviousness towards the Supreme
Lord and my desire to enjoy independent of Him. Bless me to continue to render services happily till the
end of my life.
Your servant,
Vraja Lila Dasa.

Please accept our humble obeisances unto Your Divine Lotus Feet.
Srila Prabhupada, what You have done in those 12 short years was really a miracle. Nobody can preach
the way You did. Your teachings are absolute truths no need of any change even a bit. Just by following
Your instructions blindly, even the lowest of mankind can get Topmost benefit, KRISHNA PREMA. But
now few so called followers are changing Your teachings, foolishly.
You are the confidential servitor, You are the Shaktyavesha avatar, You are Spiritual Master of the whole
world. Your instructions are the heart and soul for us. Please guide us, shower Your mercy upon us.
Please make us surrender unto You more and more. Please save Your own movement from the present
court issue. Here we are trying to come up with a big project in Your Tirupati centre. Initially, we started
with folk hostels recently. Please give us strength of preaching so that we can preach well to these boys
and congregation to spread Krishna consciousness here.
Thank You very much for allowing me to serve You for last 2 years dedicatedly.
Begging to remain eternally at Your Lotus Feet.

Our respects for him who at Vishnu's Feet, is dear to Krishna on earth, and whose Grace is called
Bhaktivedanta, Swami. Our respect unto you servant of Sarasvat, preaching Caitanya's message,
delivering the West from impersonalism and voidism.
Srila Prabhupada Please accept my humble obeisance unto Your Lotus Feet on the occasion of Your
divine appearance day.
Its been one year since Your Divine Grace have accepted me in Your service, and You have mercifully
showed me how much unqualified I am, still I am wondering how your Divine Grace accepted me in
Your service, and someone said that, this is the meaning of causeless mercy. Thank You Srila
Prabhupada for showering Your causeless mercy on such an ignorant person like me. In the early days of
joining ashram, with the association of senior devotees I came to know what my actual position is, how
many anarthas I actually have in me. You have kindly showed me the projects that I have to work in this
whole life to become Your dear servant.
Srila Prabhupada, for the last one year I have been put into various situations. Sometimes calls from the
parents disturb me. At times mind creates disturbances due to previous conditioning. But in every
situation Your Divine Grace have guided me nicely either by Your vani or by a devotee. You have given
me nice opportunities to render services unto to the lotus feet of Sri Sri Radha Krishna Chandra.
Srila Prabhupada I have also witnessed the evil activities of the self proclaimed gurus and their disciples.
These incidents actually increased my faith and dependence on You and Krishna, but I am still waiting
for the day when You will expose the actual facts to the mass of people.
Srila Prabhupada, now You have engaged me in the service of Sri Sri Radha Gopinath where you have
given me nice opportunity to serve Their Lordships. Kindly give me sufficient strength so that I can
serve Their Lordships properly overcoming all my previous conditioning and inabilities. In the midst of
these services there is every chance to be slackened in sadhana. Your Divine Grace, kindly empower me
sufficiently so that I can be engaged in Your service and properly carry on my sadhana.
Sharangi Krishna Dasa.

Dear rla Prabhupda,
Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to you!
Every day when I offer obeisance to you one thought comes across my mind saying that I am the most
fortunate person, because I am offering my respects to the pure devotee of the lord. Being fortunate to
come in touch with you, i feel that I am not properly utilizing the opportunity given to me in serving
you. Whenever I think of your contribution in spreading Krishna Conciousness, it inspires me more.
Prabhupda, I am keeping some fixed targets in sadhana and service which I am planning to accomplish
by next Vysa-pj. I need your blessings and guidance in achieving these targets.
Prabhupda, please forgive me for the offences that I have committed at your lotus feet and those
committed against your devotees.

Jai Srila Prabhupada!!!
nama o viu pdya ka-prehya bh-tale rmate bhaktivednta-svmin iti nmine
namas te srasvate deve gaura-v-pracrie nirviea-nyavdi pctya-dea-trie
Your divine grace said that There are different kinds of welfare activities in this material world, but the
supreme welfare activity is the spreading of Ka consciousness. Other welfare activities cannot be
effective, for the laws of nature and the results of karma cannot be checked.... If one tries to spread Ka
consciousness all over the world, he should be understood to be performing the best welfare activity.
The Lord is automatically very pleased with him.
Until I came in touch with the devotees and until I read the above mentioned powerful statement, I was
thinking to do something good for our society, for our nation. I had a feeling that Im selfless man
because I was thinking that Im a society oriented person rather being family centric man; I concluded
that by comparing myself with my friends and others. But later when I had started associating with the
devotees I came to know that I was not selfless rather I was very much selfish, in other words extended
selfishness with hidden motive to achieve name, appreciation etc, which is nothing but me and mine
concept.
These days, Im trying to understand and realize your divine graces instructions. If I look back and see
what Ive learnt from the day one of my joining, its nothing!!! Im ashamed to say that but that is the
fact, Im still in the same starting point.
While fighting the internal war with polluted mind there is an external war raged by demoniac powers to
diminish Lord Caitanyas Bhakti cult, which was and still is being spread by you successfully, worldwide.
Unfortunately demoniac minded people are also wearing the saffron robes with bead bags in their hands;
they look like devotees but are actually demons in disguise. By agency of Kali, Maya is trying hard to
obstruct the ever expanding Krishna consciousness, the only welfare for the society.
In spite of all this, a silent revolution has been started under the leadership of your true devotees and I
am blessed to be part of it. I surely know, that I am not eligible to be part of the team for this big
VyasaPuja2011

assignment, that your divine grace have ordered to your empowered devotees to fight this war, which
will create history for the future.
But Your divine grace please give us the strength at all times to establish you as the sole diksha guru of
ISKCON worldwide, which is the only reason of this war, till then never make us to stop for even a
moment as Maya is very strong, can divert our attention in various ways, at any point.
Finally I beg you to give the attachment to your lotus feet by always engaging me in the service of Lord
Caitanya by exercising my free will according to the will of your divine grace which is also the will of the
Lord. This has been declared by all the scriptures as the highest perfection of life and life after life.
Trying to be your servants servant,

Although it is impossible for anyone to safeguard a garden when it is under siege by wild animals,
Srila Prabhupad by Your Causeless Mercy You are protecting the seedling of my devotional life from the
innumerable mad elephant offenses being committed by me knowingly or unknowingly. It is also
wonderful to experience Your Prowess, by which You have sheltered a very minute speck of devotional
spark in me from extinguishing amidst the huge storms of material desires arising in my heart.
Just like a huge dam checks flood waters, You have confined my determination from getting washed
away by the flood of anarthas. In Srimad Bhagavatam our six senses are compared to plunderers, by Your
Divine Grace the treasure of Krishna Consciousness has been secured from these plunderers.
Attracted by brightness of fire, Insects dash towards fire and meet with their end, similarly bewildered by
the dazzle of material existence we are always trying to dash towards it like the foolish insects but Your
shelter is always preventing our destruction.
The list goes on and on, description of Your Qualities and Glories by conditioned souls is like trying to
assess the power of Sun in its reflection in a small mud water pot.
Kindly keep this fallen soul always under the shelter of your servants servants who are engaged in the
service of your lotus feet.

Let my offer my sincere respectful obeisance unto your lotus feet. Please accept my offering.
I feel that it is a very great opportunity to glorify my spiritual master who has given a new life to me and
saved me from the greatest danger (material entanglement).
Out of your causeless mercy you have accepted me as your disciple though I do not have any
qualification to become your servant and are engaging me in your mission (Lord Krishnas service)
Srila Prabhupada, you are the summum bonum of all the great previous acaryas but I dont have words
to glorify you as I am ignorant.
Because of your mercy I am able to chant the holy name of the Lord, hear Krishna katha which is the
yuga dharma of this age. And most important thing is that you have given the opportunity to live in the
association of devotees.
VyasaPuja2011

The moment I joined your mission (ISKCON) I am able to receive The Supreme Lord Sri Krishnas
protection through you only. Knowingly or unknowingly I might have done so many mistakes because
of my ignorance but still I am able to get your guidance.
It is because of your mercy I got the opportunity to serve the Supreme Lord.
Nobody in the world can pay back the debt of the spiritual master so please engage me in your service at
your lotus feet always which is the only request of mine.
Prabhupada, please hold me as a father holds his ignorant child very tightly and guide me in my life
which is meant for the service of the Lord only.
Please allow me to become one of the dust particles at your lotus feet and please do not through away
from your lotus feet.
Please forgive me for uncountable mistakes that I committed.
Please request the paramatma in my heart as I am not able to approach Him to guide my intelligence to
the highest perfection of life.
Sincerely trying to be yours,

Dear rla Prabhupda, please accept this offering on Your appearance day.
On this most auspicious Vysa Pj day, I offer my humble respectful obeisances unto your lotus feet
Srila Prabhupada. Kindly accept Prabhupada. As you know Prabhupada, many things are happening in
ISKCON, one of which is the recent high court verdict which really shattered me. But from senior
devotees I came to know rather I heard that this is the time where in we should be more serious in our
Krishna Conscious life and pray for the mercy of Sri Sri Radha Krishna Chandra. But on the other side I
feel Prabhupada such a wonderful movement set by you is not being carried out properly because of
varied reasons. But if all the devotees in ISKCON accept you as the captain of the ship without any
confusion I think we can come out of this jeopardy. But one thing I want to say Prabhupada, theory
looks pretty good to hear but when it comes to practicality it is something else. As you said Prabhupada,
a devotee never accuses Ka that "Ka, I am serving You so nicely, and You are giving me so much
suffering?" No. This is not devotee's view. Devotee will take that "This so-called suffering is also Ka's
favor." Tat te 'nukamp su-samkama. But in reality this thought wont prop up in my mind at that
time. I was thinking why it could be like that, this is not fair etc.. Basically I was trying to give myself
various reasons.
Prabhupada as you know ISKCON Bangalore has initiated some prestigious projects to come up like
Krishna Lila Theme Park in Kanakapura road, Bangalore for your pleasure. Big projects were always
your desire. Doubling book distribution, big temple complexes in Bombay, build a city in rdhma
Mypur, set of books in every home in America - you laid down the challenge and expected us to take it
up. But truly there is nothing more satisfying than taking up some greater responsibility that you have
offered and executing it to your satisfaction. We the devotees at ISKCON Bangalore are in the mood to
carry out your mission sincerely but there are many negative forces which are hampering our progress in
that line.
So Prabhupada we repeatedly pray unto your lotus feet to please release us from this greatest danger by
dissipating the darkness from the minds of those who are creating disturbances and establishing
ISKCON as it is, as it was desired by you.
Kindly help us Prabhupada in making your mission successful.

Its my great fortune to glorify my spiritual master. Prabhupada you have given me great opportunity to
serve lord which even demigods are hankering for. Prabhupada be always merciful upon us so that we
will be always under the shelter of you lotus feet. Prabhupada you are always there to guide us but
because of our conditional state we always forget you. Sometimes it looks very difficult to overcome this
but I have full faith on you.
Whenever I look back into my past life I really feel it is by your mercy I got saved from so many dangers
.what I was and what I am now it is by your grace. So many changes happened to my life but there are
still so many weak points in me which I have to overcome. I pray to your lotus feet please help me to
overcome this also. Prabhupada now days I am becoming very weak in sadhana, please help me to
become strong in this aspect of life.
There many more things which I want to tell you and I know that you already know about it. Please
shower mercy upon me and guide me always to serve your lotus feet throughout my life.

Deva Vrata Dasa
Om agnyana timirandhasya gnanajana salakaya Chakshurunmilitam yena tasmai sri guruveh namah
Namah oh vishnu padhaya krsna prasthaya bhutale srimate bhakti vedanta swamitinamine
Namaste saraswete deve gaura vani pracharine nirvisesa sunyavadi paschatya desa tarine.
O my lord who has given me the transcendental vision is my life & soul, so I am offering my obeisances
unto him on this auspicious day of his appearance.
It is impossible for a disciple to advance in spiritual knowledge without a proper spiritual master.
Sometimes less intelligent people ask whether one has to approach a guru to be instructed in devotional
service for spiritual advancement? The answer is there in Bhagavad Gita, where arjuna accepted krsna as
his guru (sisyas te ham sadhi mam tvam prapannam). The vedas also instruct tad-vignanartham sa
gurum evabhigachet. So one must accept a guru for proper direction if one is seriously inclined towards
advancement in spiritual life. The lord says than one must worship achraya, who is the representative of
supreme personality of godhead (achryam mam vijaniyat) one should definitely understand this. In
chaitanya charitamrta, it is said that the guru is the manifestation of the supreme personality of godhead.
Therefore according to all the evidence given by the sastra and by practical behavior of devotees one
must accept a guru, this is more important & valuable also. The guru does not manufacture a new
process to instruct the disciple. The disciple receives instructions from the spiritual master which was
received in similar way by his spiritual master. This is called the system of disciplic succession (evam
parampara praptam imam rajarsayo vidhu). This is the bona-fide way of receiving the process of
devotional service, by which the supreme lord is pleased. Therefore to approach bona-fide guru or
spiritual master is essential. The bona-fide spiritual master is he who has received the mercy of his guru
who in turn is bona-fide because he has received the mercy of his guru. This is called the parampara
system so unless one follows this parampara system, the mantra one receives will be chanted for no
purpose. If the mantra is manufactured than there is no success in spiritual life. So mantra & the process
of devotional service have special power provided they are received from the authorized person.

Today is our beloved spiritual master srila prabhupadas appearance day so we have to offer our humble
obeisances to him on this auspicious day for our spiritual advancement, who has distributed the
transcendental knowledge & hare krsna maha mantra to the whole world.
Yours obedient servant
Deva Vrata Dasa
Madhu Vrata Dasa
Srila Prabhupada please accept my humble obeisance unto you. Its the duty of disciple to express his
gratitude to his spiritual master on his auspicious appearance day. Now I am here under your shelter
with vaishnava association only because of your causeless mercy not by my qualification. Srila
Prabhupada you are pouring mercy on all the fallen souls and helping in every step to go back to
godhead, without seeing any pre qualification. When Bhisma deva gave up his body Krishna was
personally present. For Parikshit Maharaj Krishna sent Sukadeva Goswami because they are pure
devotees of Krishna. Now Krishna mercifully sent you to liberate all of us.
Since you have no other business than to glorify Krishna and to serve Krishna, as soon as I remember
you I will remember Krishna. When I watch your video, when I take your darshan or when I try to
follow any of your instruction I will be instantly connected to Krishna. Especially I will remember your
vani we are not the body, we are the sprit soul part and parcel of Krishna, chant Hare Krishna mantra
without offence, take only prasadam & go back to home back to godhead.
As soon as we meet someone we address Hare Krishna, if person asks where are you from we say we
are from ISKCON or Hare Krishna Movement, as soon as he ask our name again it is connected to
Krishna. Likewise practically you brought Krishna in center in all our activities and not spared anything
which is not connected to Krishna, including all our dealings eating, sleeping and traveling. In other
words you have practically molded our life to remember Krishna 24hr a day.
When I sit and think of this, I feel that I am trying to remember Krishnas instruction man mana
always remember me which is Guhyatamam the most secret. What would be more glorious than to
follow your instruction and to remember Krishna? Krishna says man mana; you say remember Krishna
means chant Hare Krishna. But I feel most important is to remember you always, then other things are
all dynamic. But maya is very strong; once again it will keep us in ignorance, it always makes us forget
Krishna. I have no strength to fight against maya. Srila Prabhupada in all situations you are the only
hope. Please enlighten me dont leave me in the ignorance.
Once I was discussing with authority, Srila Prabhupada revealed a huge Vrindavan project for the
pleasure of their lordship Sri Sri Radha Vrindavan Chandra and Sri Sri Nitai Gauranga but we are only
handful of devotees for their service. But he said Prabhupad and Mahaprabhu will reveal their plans in
due course of time. Now by your mercy preaching has seen a new light & given a hope of progress
Prabhupad please shower your mercy on more and more souls.
Prabhupad, I would like to remember how you are mercifully saved us from the opposite camp attack,
my bodily and extended bodily problems. This is only a drop of your glories out of vast ocean in my
broken language.
Prabhupad my only duty is to try to execute your order. I beg you again and again please keep me in
your service wherever you like under your shelter eternally.

Please accept my humble obeisances unto your Lotus feet.
Srila Prabhupada, I am fallen soul loitering in this material world from time immemorial for flickering
happiness. You have shown me the path of real happiness. You know I am totally unqualified person.
But, still you accepted me as your disciple.
Prabhupada, I am very happy that you have given me the opportunity to execute the service of Your
Mission. The authority system you have given us is wonderful. I am able to enjoy each moment of the
service which you have given me.
Prabhupada, I can very easily understand the power of your system. As you told, When you will follow
strictly the system I have given, you will see more Temples will come up, more prasadam distribution
will happen, more book distribution will happen, Temple will flourish like anything. This is what I am
seeing in SRILA PRABHUPADAS ISKCON.
The Dream project which you have for SRI DHAM VRINDABAN very soon we are going to start.
Please bless me, I should be able to follow strictly all your rules & regulations and system of your
authority, I should cooperate with all the temple devotees.

Prabhupada please accept my humble obeisances, I am unable express my heartfelt gratitude; please
guide me in the homage offering.
Prabhupada you are the only one who came into my life & guided me & saved from the most dangerous
and abominable activity of the currently age.
You are the only one who showed the road towards Krishna. I was not aware Krishna is the supreme
personality of godhead. By your causeless mercy now I knew that Krishna is the supreme father of all
living beings.
Prabhupada you distributed the most value thing which is so costly compare to diamond also Krishna
consciousness.
Sometime I am thinking what an incomparable and durlabha Krishna Consciousness you have given to
me just like diamond to a monkey. But I am so incapable that I am not valuing it as diamond.
Prabhupada you gave me krishna prasadam which is beyond the vegetarianism.
After coming in touch with your movement I knew that something is there which is beyond
vegetarianism. I was loitering & searching for happiness but you showed me the way of happiness.
I never thought about Krishna in my life even in dreams but now by your causeless mercy I got the
opportunity to know & to read about Krishna and to inquire about life, due to your mercy my
consciousness is turned towards K.C.
You have created a movement which can change the movement of a person.
You established a society where there is no anxiety.
Oh my lord, my spiritual master please be merciful unto me so that I will remain in K.C. throughout of
my life.

Om agyana timirandhasya gyananjana shalakya Chakshur unmilitam yena tasmai shree guruve namah
All glories to Sri Guru and Gauranga,
Another year has passed and I am happy to be under your shelter with confidence that you have
protected me from maya and will continue it as a causeless mercy. I remained a fool to not become
serious on your instructions and kept shaking hands with maya time to time. As you give examples of
how mind is a very critical instrument in this path, I realized through the mistakes of not checking the
enemy mind carefully. This was due to lack of development of the real taste in the process and unless I
get the real value for it and become serious in performing it with quality, things will not improve.
Nowhere could I see that your support was less. It was always my part of duty which was insufficient.
But, the stage of this struggle was slightly forwarded by your mercy with some improvement in
developing value for the process (but still long way to go). Faith and hope was there and will always
remain in you and Lord Gauranga to further enlighten and help me understand the real value of spiritual
life. Let this hope never die out by your mercy. Whole world is working on fake hopes and getting back
only frustration. But, this path is always hopeful as you love us more than we realize it for you. People
are trying very cheaply to understand Krishna. I say, to understand a Mahabhagavata like you is the first
challenge. And that is only possible by bathing with the Holy dust of your lotus feet and making your
words the life and soul. Kindly bless all of us to do that and remain humble in your service.
Eager to receive your mercy.
Your eternally indebt disciple

O our beloved Spiritual master, satisfying you is my only aim in life. You have said in most of your
lectures that satisfying your Divine Grace is satisfying the Supreme Personality of Godhead Sri Krishna.
VyasaPuja2011

We have heard and we will continue hearing about Sri Krishna and service to him which is our
constitutional position by you lotus mouth again and again to become fixed in devotional service as I am
flickery and constantly vary in my intensity to serve you.
Nothing seems to be any more interesting now except you, your service, Krishna, association of
devotees, deity worship, preaching, being engaged without being idle even for a moment, hearing your
lectures, fighting for reestablishing your position as Jagad-Guru, inspiration from senior devotees, new
revolutionary strategies of preaching, seeing Krishnas hand and your presence in every activity is source
of great happiness to me.
Even though this material world is full of miseries it is a very tough task to convince people to take up
Krishna consciousness. Only by your special mercy may be the people in the outside world with
demoniac mentalities and even I will become serious in spiritual life and develop a humble servitor
attitude to give all respects to devotees and do not expect any honor from them.
Kindly bless me as you already know about your disciples, activities, inclinations, progress, etc and use
me as your instrument to execute your mission and keep as your dog in the movement eternally under
the shelter of your lotus feet.
Your namesake servant and disciple,

Dearest Srila Prabhupada
Before coming to your shelter I was working for maya, working like a mad man for sense gratification &
opening the doors of hell. Because of your causeless mercy I understood the aim of human life. You have
given us the association of devotees, well maintained temple programme, prasadam, Vedic literature full
of knowledge. I only beg from you that please help me to follow your instructions, respect other
vaishnavas, to come out from the three modes of material nature. Always remember the lotus feet of
Radha-Vrindavan Chandra. I want to become the servant of servant of Radha-Vrindavan Chandra, I very
much know that without the mercy of your lotus feet I cant make any spiritual progress. You opened so
many temples, institutes, gurukula all over the world to teach the real spiritual knowledge to the mass of
people and you picked me who is the most fallen. I am always obliged to you; I cant repay your debt of
the knowledge which you have given to me. The last thing I can do is I can dedicate my life for your
mission which I did and I beg you so that I can continue seeking your blessings and that you should be
my eternal spiritual master & show me the torch of knowledge toward the lotus feet of Sri Sri Radha
Vrindavan Chandra.
Please forgive me for the offences I have committed at your lotus feet knowingly or unknowingly.

Before coming to Krishna consciousness, there is no Goal in my life, my life was full of problems and
whole day we were in a aggressive mood, Lot of mind pressure were there and whole day was so boring
and we were completely engaged in a material world, But, after entering into Krishna Consciousness,
the teachings of the Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, I understood many things
related to me as well as my life, Also I came to know about the supreme personality, I understood the
various principles of life from the book BEYOND BIRTH AND DEATH. The teachings of Srila
Prabhupada had appeared in my life like the bright sun which ruins the darkness.
The teachings of the Divine Grace are so simple that every human being in this material world can
understand easily. We get the solutions for the questions like Who are we? Why we are here? What is
next? What should we choose to go for next?
We also learned of making our life so meaningful by linking each and every activity of our present life
with the Supreme Personality of God Head Sri Krishna. We get the real happiness by chanting the Hare
Krishna mantra which we do every day 16 rounds. We learnt to utilize our sense gratifications by
chanting Hare Krishna Maha mantra, Reading Prabhupada books, Listening Kirtans, Associating with
Krishna Devotees, Honouring Krishna Prasadam, etc.
Everyone in this material world should follow these principles without these one cannot attain the
ultimate goal of life. By his divine grace, we got this knowledge from the devotees of ISKCON which we
cannot forget throughout our life.
By this we beg the Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada to give his mercy on us so that
we do not forget to follow his instruction to attain the ultimate goal of life.

Hare Krishna,
DEAR SRILA PRABHUPADAJI,
I bow down myself to your Lotus Feet, please accept my prayers.
I am very much happy to say that in my life I got You. In the beginning my bother inspired me about
Krishna Consciousness. The Akshaya Patra Foundation is organisation through which mid day meals are
been distributed to the hungry children of the school for education. In this movement I got one small
opportunity to work in my life, and came to know about You by reading Your books. Also the devotees
of the centre in Ahmedabad explained me about Maha mantra - Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna
Krishna Hare Hare Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare. By chanting this pure Maha Mantra
many things have changed in my life which I cant describe but only feel happy to live even in this most
miserable material world.
Srila Prabhupadaji please have mercy on me so that I can maintain this chanting, reading your books
and to be always in Krishna conscious.

Dear Swami Prabhupada,
I have joined Akshaya patra in Feb11. Before that date I was totally unaware of any type of spiritual
knowledge or I can say that my participation in this was minimal or by force (my father usually say to
offer prayer to God to maintain health/wealth). My thinking was that people only perform prayer in
order to desire some wealth/wishes from God.
But what I see here is totally different, food is offered to God before feeding anyone. Daily prathana is
done before meal. People are chanting mala in names of God, Krishna for only spiritual gain.
Organization is doing work only to serve mankind, to feed hungry people. This all changed me little & I
took interest in all this & started chanting 4 mala daily. This all happened only because of your grace &
I feel free from many of worries of my life. My lifestyle has changed & feeling happier than ever before.
So kindly accept me as your servant & give me strength to follow right path.
Your servant,

Dear His Divine Grace A.C.Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada,
I am so happy to be introduced to Krishna Consciousness Movement introduced by you. It has been
almost 2 years now. My family & me are so lucky to be a part of Krishna Consciousness Movement.
If I talk about my personal changes I am regularly chanting 8 rounds & reading Bhagavad-Gita daily.
A person like me who used to wake up at 9 Am is now waking up between 6Am to 7 Am & attending
Mangla darshan at Haveli & chanting the rounds there.
I get the power for the whole day to face challenges in day-to-day activities. I am a businessman but now
I have no fear of my future since Lord Krishna is with me. I have found the purpose of my life through
your movement. I have become very much settled, slowly my greed, anger are becoming less & less. I
have left tea, coffee etc. forever. Now I am trying to study about Krishna more & more. I try to dedicate
all my actions to The Supreme Personality of Godhead, Sri Krishna. Whenever anything happens, good
or bad, I try to understand that it is the Lords wish or my previous karmas. I have decided to contribute
as much as possible on this planet earth towards Krishna Consciousness. For doing that I keep doing the
following: whenever I meet a new customer whenever I finish the business talks, I definitely talk about
Krishna, His pastimes, His greatness etc. I keep my japa bag, together, whenever I attend Sunday classes
I try to recite the same to any person I meet. I also talk about our Akshayapatra, Krishna Consciousness
Movement. Many of my relatives, friends, colleagues etc now know about this so they also get interested
to attend classes, functions etc.
Dear Srila Prabhupadji, these are just a few gestures, please help me & guide me more & more. My
dream is to dedicate my life towards Krishna Consciousness Movement, after the age of 42.So before that
please help me & guide me in a manner so that I can arrange for my family. Well I know the Lord takes
care of all but even though as a human being as the Lord says just do your karma & leave the results
unto me. My ultimate dream is to go back to Supreme Personality of Godhead.
So please guide & help me....

The Krishna conscious movement in the form of ISKCON (International Society For Krishna
Consciousness) was established by Srila Prabhupada, its founder acharya Swami Prabhupada was also
the author of several books including Bhagvad-Gita as it is.
Srila Prabhupada not only spread the Krishna conscious movement in India but also in many foreign
countries outside India.
The Krishna Conscious Movement helped me the most in understanding our position with respect to the
supreme personality of Godhead, Krishna, the importance of devotional service, clear and distinct
understanding about atma (Soul), Parmatma or Bhagwan (God), Karma (Activity), Migration of the soul
at death, Gnana (Knowledge), Yoga (Spiritual Practice), Bhakti (Devotion), Renunciation ( Sanyasa), the
influence of material nature & how to ultimate goal of life. The Hare Krishna Movement provides the
ideal platform for spiritual advancement of many misguided souls like me.

Bhaktivedanta Swami saw a group of children fighting with the street dogs over seeps of food. From this
simple, yet heartbreaking incident, came the determination that : No one within a ten mile radius of our
center should go hungry.
It is this inspiration, which helped to create the Akshaya Patra Foundation with a vision that No
child in India shall be deprived of education because of hunger.
My humble pranams to his Devine Grace A.C Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada.

Dear Guruji Srila Prabupadaji,
First of all I bow down to your lotus feet. Due to your causeless mercy I, and my family got an
opportunity to follow the spiritual path, which is the ultimate goal of the human life. Without your
mercy, we can not even think of going to chant the holy name HARE KRISHNA HARE KRISHNA
KRISHNA KRISHNA HARE HARE, HARE RAMA HARE RAMA RAMA RAMA HARE HARE
After taking sharana at your lotus feet, the life has become colourful with your blessings. Our lives have
changed beautifully and there is a positive change in our material as well as spiritual life. By chanting
unending hymn of Lord Krishna, we have gained lot of confidence in our day-to-day professional life as
well as spiritual life and get a positive attitude to help my friends, colleague, poor afflicted and needy
people. Such kind of activities brings us happiness Ananda and all this positive development only due
to taking sharan to your lotus feet.
Due to your continuous help I and my family has started reading Bhagwat Geeta & Srimad Bhagwat
Geeta and chanting Lord Krishnas Mantra HARE KRISHNA MANTRA in which we can experience the
existence of Lord Krishna and Shri Radhikajee. I am sure my wife and son are very happy after getting
sharan of your lotus feet and there is continuous progress in all the sectors of the life. Also your
blessings of the Lotus feet be always with us so that we will get positive development and ultimate goal

Hare Krishna,
A C Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupadji Namah.
Krupa of Shrila Prabhupadaji on me can not be described in a piece of paper, but this can be regarded
as effort only.
Some three four years ago, my life was usual as of other youngsters of age 30 -32 yrs. My routine
schedule was so hectic and my all activities were money oriented. My mind was constantly engaged in
discovering new ideas for earning more and more money. At that time happiness for me means only
money. I was of the opinion that by money you can buy happiness, enjoyment, security, whatsoever you
want. As I belong from VAISHNAVA family I was not totally NASTIK . but I had many doubts in my
mind about existence of GOD. I was thinking if there is God, how theft in temple is possible. And if so
then why we should worship deity in temple who is not capable of protecting himself and many other
wrong perceptions and doubts were in my mind.
One day one of the Prabhuji of ISKCON came to my office to collect donation for Akshya Patra As I
was busy in my routine schedule I denied to even talk with him. He waited until I got free and discussed
the activity of Akshaya Patra run by them. I was impressed by their charity work done for poor children.
This was the SUN RISE of my good luck. Pracheta Das ji had not come for charity of poor children but
he was sent by Srila Prabhupadaji for charity of poor children of God like me.
After that I visited Akshya-Patra kitchen in Gandhinagar to look out its activity. Fortunately on that day
they were celebrating Narsimhdev jyanti utsav. I was very much impressed by Vaidik Anustan and puja
performed by devotees and decided to be in regular touch with ISKCON. Then after one of its branches
was opened here in Thaltej nearby my home and this bring miracle positive change to my mind set and
attitude.
After continuous touch in Satsangand listening to Geeta Pravachan on every Sunday evening, my
whole angle to see the supreme authority - the Godhead has changed. My whole attitude to life and
definition of happiness is not just changed but also rectified. Im now able to understand and feel that
Srila Prabhupadji him self is a direct representative of lord Krishnaand this was possible only by
knowledge delivered by his authorise representatives by way of Geeta Pravachan on Sunday evening .
This change can not be brought in overnight effort by ordinary GURU. This is possible only because this
indirect effort is made by the society established by the direct representative and true devotee of Lord
Krishna Srila Prabhupadaji Himself.
Im very much thankful to devotees of HKM Ahmedabad who has been too merciful to me to explain
actual meaning and purport of shreemad Bhagavat Geeta As It Is in his Sunday Geeta Pravachan.This
has brought miraculous change in me and my lifestyle too. Now I have to make no efforts to keep myself
away from sinful activities but by mercy of Srila Prabhupadaji it becomes effortless for me without any
self control and this a real truth experienced by me.
One other thing I want to share is that- to become a devotee of Lord Krishna it is not necessary to keep
away yourself from wife, office, money, and children. No, by mercy of Srila Prabhupadaji, you can
become true devotee only by being connected to society like ISCKON and bring change to your attitude
to life and god- this is my personal experience and fact also.
In the last Im very much thankful to all prabhuji of Ahmedabad Hare Krishna Temple especially, who
make continues efforts to keep me closer to Lord Krishna and his representative Shrila Prabhupadji.
Hare Krishna,
Rakesh And Purvi

These 16 words has really changed my nature & my way of living.... these 16 words given by Chaitanya
Mahaprabhu and spreaded by Srila Prabhupada ji are so magical that it can elevate the human from
material world to spiritual world which is the important part of every human being. I was so impressed
of this movement that I have joined the folk classes, completed all modules and now chanting Hare
Krishna Maha-mantra daily.
The chanting of Hare Krishna mahamantra spreaded by Srila Prabhupada is magical which can take us
away from many sinful activities and can positively change our nature and this I have experienced
personally. The rules and regulations given by Srila Prabhupadaji are very important and one should
follow them for living a better life. The rules make our will and internal energy so strong that one can do
anything, as all these changes I have seen in me.
All I can say is that everyone should take part in Krishna consciousness to make their way of living
better.... one should know their motto in life, which is, to serve Lord Krishna in the best way. As Srila
Prabhupada has promised us that you take Lord Krishna's Names and I will take you to the Lotus feet of
Lord Krishna, back home back to God head. So as a student I have joined this movement and now
working in a company but still chanting Hare Krishna mahamantra, because I have faith on Prabhupada
ji He will surely take care of me and remove every obstacle on the path of Devotional Service to Lord
Krishna.

Please accept my humble obeisance unto your lotus feet.
Being constantly in touch with you by your books, lectures and the devotees, there is always an
inspiration to do more and more for your movement so that this Maha Mantra can be spread to many of
the awaiting souls. As you have rightly told that the bhakati lata beeja is always there in every
individuals heart but only we need to give water of Hoy name through this Krishna conscious process
which can enlighten that soul.
The words spoken by your lotus mouth have helped so many souls in so many ways that it is
uncountable, and if one strictly follows them, as mentioned by you, will surely go back home back to
godhead. I myself sometime got dragged with mayas influence, but only by your words, books and your
disciples have pulled me back from going into that pit hole.
Being engaged in your service to promote your movement, there were lots of challenges in bringing up
the new people, but even after that there was nothing in our hands. That was the movement I
remembered the words from Bhagavad gita where Krishna says that you have a right to perform your
prescribed duty, but you are not entitled to the fruits of action. The result may come early or late but
Krishna will never let us go morose. The test at every step is how strong is our devotion and dedication
for him.
O Prabhupada, you are so merciful, you taught and gave us chanting, bhajans, kirtans, deity worship,
and many more things; these are those valuable jewels that are available for all the people but only few
know the value of it. It is only by the mercy of guru, Spiritual Master, that we come in contact with
Krishna, and then after sincere efforts one can get rid from the cycle of birth, death, old age & disease.
I dont have any qualification to glorify you but these are my words from my heart. I really thank you
Prabhupada for giving me all these opportunities to server your mission.
Your fallen servant

I offer my respectful obeisance to my spiritual master A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada on his
auspicious appearance day.
Life was never the same after I came in touch with this splendid Krishna Consciousness movement. I
consider myself very fortunate that you have glanced on an insignificant being like me. The knowledge
which you are offering is sure to liberate every conditioned soul from the material world. It is only
because of you that I have realized the real meaning of my life and my duty towards the Supreme
Personality of Godhead, Sri Krishna.
You have given us an invaluable gift of leading a Krishna Conscious life. Your teachings are as divine as
yourself and it is only by your mercy that I was able to receive such benediction. Only a pure devotee
like you can fulfill all my spiritual desires that I was devoid of, due to my association with matter. Your
teachings are par beyond any mundane knowledge in this universe. As you always make a mention in
your teachings that your greatest contribution to the humanity is your books, which indeed are the
pillars for the spiritual perfection, and I solely rely on them to relish your association.
I am experiencing immense satisfaction in the devotional services that you have put forth and have
understood that there is no service better than serving the Lotus feet of Guru and Krishna. Although
unqualified, I have a strong conviction to serve you and your mission to the fullest of my capacity. I only
desire to act in the manner that is pleasing to Krishna and nothing else.
VyasaPuja2011

I pray to your Lotus feet to protect me from the onslaughts of maya and give me the strength to
overcome all the obstacles that I may face in devotional service. Please engage me in distributing this
precious knowledge to the world and give me the necessary knowledge, if you so desire. Be kind to
continue showering your blessings and show me the path to perfection.
Hare Krishna!!!

My humblest Obeisance to the Feets of SrilaPrabhupadji
We are all born by the grace of the supreme god. But due to our inherent ignorance about the spiritual
status of our existence we have been entangled in this material world, assuming blindly that this is our
final abode. We pay obeisance to our JANMADATA for giving us an opportunity to serve the god.
In our enthusiasm to fulfil our needs of material world, we devote all our time and energy forgetting our
PRIME DUTY.
Trying to do such activities for our daily needs we forget our main purpose of existence.
Our main purpose of coming to this world is to pay our humble and sincere respects to parampita and to
serve him selflessely, so that we get all his merciful bliss on us.
To clear our Ignorance and enlighten us to serve the God we need Friend, Philosopher & Guide.
In the present world of Kali it is very difficult to get Honest, Selfless & Spiritually equipped Guru.
From the time immemorial it is accepted that Guru is above all. As it has been confirmed time and again
by this Shloka.
GURU BRAHMA, GURU VISHNU, GURU DEVO MAHESHWARA,
GURU SAKSHAT PARABRAHMA TASMEY SHREE GURU VE NAMAHA.
That means GURU is above all and he is the SakshatParabbrahma.
Such is the high esteem that has been given to the deserving and selfless Guru.
I am very much fortunate tohave the guidance through SrilaPrabhupadjis teachings and I will offer my
sincere, humble obeissance to SrilaPrabhupadji forbeingso kind to me.

HARE KRSNA!! My humble obeisance to Abhay Charanarvinda Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila
Prabhupada.O my guru , I am worthless, and you have accpeted me as what I am. You always accept the
persons who are surrendered unto you, which is your greatness. Your instructions always help not only
me but also the people all over the world from which we can learn everything like, who is God or
Krsna?, How to pray to God?, What is the way for pleasing Lord krisna and his assosiates? I want to
increase my faith in you and always want to worship you forever, till the end of my life.
In case, I commit any offences, please forgive me and make me act in such a way that I always please you
by distributing your books and following your instructions. By chance, if I fail to chant or follow your
rules please help me rectify and reform myself. You gave me this very valuable knowledge that no one
can ever give and I wish that I always be a part of your Hare Krsna movement. Please always inspire me
to work for ISKCON and you.

Bhakta Varahagiri Srinivas
Hare Krishna,
Krishna Consciouness Movement has helped me have an optimistic view to life and even death, with
proof that we are still existent after death in one or other form.
I could now actually realize that "Smoking is Injurious to Health." Amazingly I could quit the 3 yr old
habit with just 3 weeks touch of the devotees. I haven't smoked a single cigarette since then. Even
alcohol doesn't excite me anymore because I know that there is a taste which is much higher than
alcohol, that is Bhakti.
I have now realized that we shouldn't pray for fulfillment of our needs. We should pray for making
Krishna happy with our bhakti because Krishna always knows what is best for us.
The most amazing thing about getting in touch with the movement is that I can now access and learn
from the vast ocean of knowledge in Vedas, Puranas, Upanishad, BhagawadGita easily with the help of
Prabhupada's books and practically implement these in my life.
The Prasadam - so tasty that I can't quit coming to Folk Classes. By coming in touch with the devotes, I
could understand that even a simplest thing like Food, which I used to consider as a least significant part
in my life, could also cleanse and purify a person and his thoughts.
This movement also helped me get in touch with Akshayapatra and do social service by helping school
children. Collecting donations or telling people regarding the organization makes me feel satisfied
within.
I have even realized why my favourite for time-pass TV is called an "Idiot Box". Just because it
wastes all our valuable time and energy. I have now taken steps to cut down time of watching TV and
utilize the same for chanting and reading Prabhupad's books.
I have also gained the company of new people from various cultures with the same motive of
gaining more consciousness about Krishna. This group "Satsanga" consisting of FOLK students and
devotees who always keep motivating me for doing better things in life and avoiding all the sins.
I mostly enjoy the weekends with this group listening to lectures, chanting and singing kirtans and
devoting time exclusively for myself and Krishna.
All these significant changes in my life are just because I came in touch with Srila Prabhupad through his
Krishna Consciousness Movement. I plan to indulge more in the ISKCON activities and inculcate more
good values in my life. I owe a lot to Srila Prabhupad for what he has done to enlighten me and this
whole world.

Adideva Dasa
My dearmost Srila Prabhupada,
Please accept my heartfelt obeisances unto your divine lotus feet.
I feel elated and ashamed at the same time that finally Im making an offering on the appearance day of
your Divine Grace and that Ive rarely done so in the past twelve years. I feel very small to even express
my gratitude, for what youve done for me cannot be possibly expressed through words.
When I look back, the journey seems very short, but the learnings are enormous. The one standout
element all these years has been that you never gave up on me, though Ive time and again proven myself
an unworthy disciple. Youve constantly kept inspiring me, guiding me and making me realize through
various transcendental means that it is you who have always been there for me. This gives me immense
hope that you will always be there for me. How can a small thank you be a fitting expression of my
gratitude?
If I contemplate on how else I can try to repay you, the only thing that constantly keeps coming to my
mind is to carry out my assigned responsibilities in the best possible manner. You are the commander-
in-chief of Lord Caitanya Himself. How can any offering unto you be of an inferior quality? Thus, Ive
always tried and will continue to try and do what I ought to do to the best of my ability.
I dont have any big realization except the fact that you and the Deities in our Temple have most
mercifully and sometimes miraculously reciprocated to even the tiniest of my prayerssometimes in
unexpected manners. How can anyone even think of claiming that youre not present or that you can no
more be the spiritual master of this glorious institution?
It is painful to see how a bunch of pompous and immature devotees have tried to hijack your movement
and have jeopardized your magnanimous plans. On so many occasions in so many forums, Ive only been
able to sigh heavily and lament the loss of momentum and resources that you painstakingly built during
your physical presence. Oh, what could the world have been, if we had managed to even maintainas
you desiredthe institution as you left it. Nevertheless, I take solace in the fact that whatever happens
in this glorious movement cannot happen without your sanction, for acknowledged or not, you are the
sole controller of ISKCON.
Whenever I look at your picture on my office table with joined palms, you seem to be asking me a lot of
things (for my own benefit): wake up for mangala-arati every day, chant sixteen quality rounds every
day, think of Krishna always, study your books thoroughly and scrutinizingly, follow the four regulative
principles perfectly, carry out my tasks efficiently, and so on and so forth, and honestly Ive been unable
to execute any of them to the hilt. I can only say Ive tried and tried many times, while realizing in the
process that without your blessing and mercy I cannot and will not be able to carry out any of these.
So, my only prayer to you, dear Srila Prabhupada, is please make use of mehowever small my
contributionas an instrument in your transcendental plans, for in this lies the fulfillment of my
existence.
Though insufficient, I would still like to say: THANK YOU DEAR SRILA PRABHUPADA!
Your ever insignificant mercy seeker,
Adideva Dasa.

Again one more year in Krishna consciousness has passed; it is only due to your causeless mercy that I
am able to keep myself in devotional service without any impediments. This years Vyasa Puja has etched
a permanent mark in my memory, as this is first Vyasa Puja after my formal initiation from your divine
grace. Thank you Srila Prabhupada for accepting this fallen soul under your shelter.
It is rightly said that you can be personally perceived through your teachings, instructions, your vani and
your Deity form otherwise there is no meaning to the word spiritual master. The disciples of self-
proclaimed gurus are clung to the philosophy of physical master under the mode of ignorance. They
claim that there is no word called ritvik used in the shastra but they are not aware about the fact that
whatever you speak is actually a shastra. Otherwise they have no right to even chant 16 rounds since it is
not mentioned in the shastra.
You are a transparent via medium between Krishna and us and therefore it is the duty of all ISKCON
disciples to worship you and only you as the sole diksha guru in ISKCON.
Purity is the Force, you proved this line. When you were personally present on this planet ISKCON
grew in leaps and bounds so much so that it scared the Government of United States of America. Now
also you continue to guide the entire society through your books, letters, lectures, etc and through your
representatives who follow your instructions strictly. Those bogus gurus due to being impure both in
mind and body have contaminated ISKCON over a period of time and the minds of thousands of
innocent devotees. They have created a disaster in ISKCON. They have veiled you completely; thus
inviting Krishnas wrath upon them. Therefore a very strong cleaning process is required. That is
possible only by your unlimited and causeless mercy.
You are a representative of Srila Vyasadeva and Krishna Himself, thus you have the potency to guide
your disciples through your books. Many devotees stand to this testimony. And the fact as presented by
the bogus gurus about you being dead, is completely false and throws the light on immaturity of these so
called gurus, who have usurped your ISKCON and are claiming themselves to be in your place. I have
complete faith on the Lord that these bogus gurus will be wiped off and soon you shall be reinstated as
the diksha guru throughout the ISKCON temples.
Dear Prabhupada, this material world is like a blazing forest fire and only by your mercy it can be
extinguished. Please bless me to preach your glories to others. Please bless me that I serve Krishna
without any deviation throughout my life. Please lift me from this fallen condition. Thank you for giving
me the seed of Krishna consciousness. Only by your mercy one can get this seed of bhakti.
I promise that till air is present in this body, I shall serve your mission. I require your mercy to stick to
this promise of mine. Unlimited mercy in fact.
Your servant,
Agrani Krishna Dasa

Please accept my humble obeisances.All glories to your Divine Grace.
You are giving us realized and confidential knowledge of Lord Krsna even though we are not perfect
and not realized.Srila Prabhupada you have taught us that Bhakthi means Devotional Service to Lord
Krsna.
In this material world every human is searching for happiness keeping some goal as object of
happiness.To get that he engages in hard work.But I learnt from you what should be the real goal of

ones life.Every living entity is a part and parcel of the lord and serving Krsna and your lotus feet is the

All glories unto your Divine Grace!
This has been the most significant year in my life as I was formally initiated by you as your disciple. The
initiation ceremony took place under very difficult circumstances and it was only by your causeless
mercy and the unflinching determination of senior Vaishnavas in ISKCON Bangalore that this became
possible.
Srila Prabhupada, thank you for accepting me and taking charge in spite of my numerous faults and
frailties. You are continuing to shower your unlimited blessings on me. You are also patiently teaching
me through your transcendental devices which you have mercifully conceived to deliver innumerable
worthless souls like me. However, I am still not grateful enough and fully prepared to receive your
causeless mercy.
Srila Prabhupada, kindly infuse in me the desire and ability to assimilate your teachings, follow your
instructions, and reciprocate to your loving care.
Aspiring to become your worthy disciple,
Amalabhakta Anjaneya Dasa

Dear Srila Prabhupad
Please accept my humble obeisance unto you. My special thanks to you for accepting me as your
disciple. I will try my best to serve you.
Please bless us and empower us to push your mission.

Mukam Karoti Vacalam Pangam langhayate girim Yat-krpa tam aham vande Sri gurum dina-taranam.
I offer my respectful obeisances unto my spiritual master, the deliverer of all fallen souls, whose mercy
turns the dumb into eloquent speakers and enables the lame to cross mountains- (adapted from
Bhavartha Dipika, Mangala Stotram 1)
Srila Prabhupada You lifted me from the dark well of ignorance by extending Your merciful hand of
divine knowledge. Being a representative of Supreme Personality of Godhead Krsna, You have taken up
very arduous task of guiding a fallen soul like me back to Godhead. You being a vast repository of vedic
knowledge, have made us realize that all our material positions are nothing but a farce. You being most
confidential servant of the Lord, have given us an opportunity to relish the holy names of the Lord. It is
by the mercy of You Srila Prabhupada that I am receiving the benediction of Lord Krsna. How can I
glorify You Srila Prabhupada by mere words? I always fall short of words just like Mother Yoshada fell
short of ropes in her effort to bind Lord Krsna. Words are insufficient to express my gratitude. You are
Sakshad hari. How can anyone even think of usurping the most revered throne of such an exalted
devotee and undisputed king of our spiritual world?
Realization has dawned on me that even to embark on an effort to glorify You and Your infinite mercy is
an impossible task. Therefore I can only beg for Your mercy on this auspicious occasion of Vyasapuja.
Srila Prabhupada, bless me to follow regulative principles rigidly, chant my rounds of Hare Krsna mantra
sincerely without committing the offenses. Bless me to associate with Your disciples and devotees of the
Lord. Bless me with the opportunities to participate in Mangala aarathi, to attend Bhagavatam class and
render devotional service. Make me pay repeated obeisances unto You. I beg You to take me to holy
dhams. I seek Your mercy to preach and to write good Krsna Conscious articles. Inspite of repeated
efforts I havent been able to make my wife to take to Krsna Consciousness seriously, Srila Prabhupada,
please be merciful unto her. Finally, Srila Prabhupada, grant me buddhi to maintain integrity, spiritual
consciousness required for an initiated devotee. I surrender unto You Prabhupada. You are the source of
everything. Everything emanates from You. Jai Srila Prabhupada.
Your humble servant

Srila Prabhupada it is very difficult to understand your lila. Outwardly your institution ISKCON looks
like sinking. The GBCs and their so called Gurus are acting like Kali chelas whose only agenda is to
destroy the Sankirtana movement. They are blind, do not possess commonsense in understanding your
purpose and do not know where they are heading after leaving this material body. Not only they engage
in destroying Sankirtan Movmement nurtured by you but also want to check and destroy those who are
sincerely trying to serve your desire/instructions by spreading this movement.
I know that you are and will always be in charge of this movement of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu. So
how is that you are tolerating such deviations is always my question. Also if this is the way the
movement is handled by seniors then how your message will survive for next ten thousand years? Will it
not affect a sincere soul who in the quest of spiritual understanding, is faced with these kinds of realities
of cheating and deception? Will it not drive him away from the movement? Is this the Guru Dakshina all
of us are giving to you Srila Prabhupada? What will be our reaction when we meet you (if we become
successful in meeting you after we quit this material body) face to face? Will we have enough courage to
meet you as we have contributed in destroying your institution by being silent on the happenings in
your movement? These were many such questions which were running in my mind with no answers. To
all these questions I always consoled myself that since you are in charge of this movement you know the
best. But I got the answer for all these questions. I came across this letter of yours written to one of your
disciple. The following is the excerpts of this letter
VyasaPuja2011

Letter to: Tejiyas, Bombay, 19 December, 1972
My dear Tejiyas,
__________. Do not be disturbed. There is no cause for anxiety. You are doing your best to serve
Krishna, that is very much appreciated, so do not lose enthusiasm out of frustration, that will spoil
everything. Krishna Consciousness means we should always be satisfied and happy, not that we must
work something impossible, becoming overburdened, and then because we are unhappy by so much
trouble we lose enthusiasm altogether and give up all hope. No, if too much endeavour is there, that is to
be avoided. __________________ It is not the result of the work we want. ________________ Krishna
does not like to see His sincere devotee suffer or become frustrated or depressed. He will not stand idly
by in any such case, so do not fear on that account. Krishna has got some plan for you, always think in
that way, and very soon He will provide everything to your heart's desire.
This answers my question of protection for sincere devotees that Krishna will not stand idly and make
his devotee suffer. For the rest of my questions I came across one more room conversation dated 16th
August 1976, where in you are saying So better remain a foolish person perpetually to be directed by
Guru Mahrja. That is perfection. And as soon as he learns the Guru Mahrja is dead, "Now I am so
advanced that I can kill my guru and I become guru." Then he's finished.
By reading these two I understood that for the present situation also you are clearly guiding us to
remain a foolish person perpetually to be directed by you and whoever is thinking that he is advanced
that he can occupy the position of Guru he will be finished.
This clearly shows that you knew everything in advance and have clearly instructed your disciples to
remain foolish perpetually and not to try to become Guru to be finished. It is only a matter of time where
all these so called Gurus will be finished and only sincere devotees will survive to take your movement
forward. The devotees of Iskcon Bangalore are your sincere devotees who will for sure want to die
upholding your instructions by remaining foolish perpetually. I request your mercy to bestow upon me
this foolishness so that I perpetually remain in the association of your foolish disciples to enjoy your
transcendental association.
Your aspiring foolish disciple

Please accept my humble obeisance,
Initially, my brother took my husband to ISKCON temple at Bangalore and made him buy some small
books written by Srila Prabhupada. While reading the books my husband explained some of the contents
from the book. Slowly I developed interest in reading your books such as Beyond Birth and Death
Second Chance Science of Self-realisation. Simultaneously I started chanting Hare Krishna mantra. Our
family members were regularly visiting the temple attending classes during week end. In addition to
this association with temple devotees enabled me to continue practicing Krishna Consciousness.
Before this I had no Guru in my life. After I started visiting the temple I accepted you as a bonafide
acharya and it is only because of your mercy I am able to continue in Krishna Consciousness. You have
proclaimed that you are living in your Books. It is because of your mercy I was able to distribute
Bhagavad Gita and other books this year.It is after reading your books I realized that this body is not real
and permanent, there is something which is permanent i.e. atma which is always interested in going
back to Krishna. This was first step towards self realization. I also learnt that beyond this temporary
material world there is a spiritual world and one can enter this world only with your mercy.
VyasaPuja2011

Srila Prabhupada please ask Krishna to forgive my offences committed by me knowingly or
unknowingly. I beg for your shelter and guidance so that I can increase my devotion to Krishna along
with my family members. Kindly accept my obseance at your lotus feet.
Your humble servant

Only by the mercy of guru and Krishna, one can become fortunate enough to receive the seed of
devotional service. guru-ka-prasda It is the mercy of guru and Krishna.
Pious activities as recommended in the Vedic scriptures can elevate one to the higher planetary systems
and award heavenly enjoyment. The practice of mystic yoga may bestow powers to control the material
nature. By cultivating knowledge one can even achieve liberation from the material miseries and merge
into the brahman effulgence of the Supreme Lord. But devotional service to the Supreme Lord is possible
only by the mercy of a bonafide spiritual master.
There are many instituions, especially in India, claiming to be spiritual, but how many of them can give
us this special benediction? Practically none. Most of them are trying to cheat people in the name of
spirituality; and few other genuine organizations which accept the scriptures and try to follow them
strictly are misled and caught in the trap of karma, yoga or jnana processes; none of them have any idea
of what devotional service is. Most of them think that the process of devotional service is meant for
neophytes, who are not highly elevated.
Even Lord Caitanya was criticized by the mayavadi sannyasis of Kasi for not studying Vedanta and
chanting on the streets like a madman. But, it is this madman, who plundered the storehouse of love of
Godhead and distributed it among the people of this degraded age of Kali. He traveled extensively all
over India distributing love of Godhead. He delivered fruitive workers, false logicians, blasphemers, non-
devotees and even impersonalists. He is Supreme Personality of Godhead who appeared in the form of
His devotee to relish the mellows of devotional service. He relished it in the association of His devotees
and He distributed it for delivering the common mass of people. It is this unlimited causeless mercy of
Lord Caitanya that rla Prabhupda carried all over the world.
rla Prabhupda, It is your causeless mercy that I have got this opportunity to come in touch with his
Hare Krishna Movement and render little service. In February 1936, you spoke in honor of your spiritual
master, rla Bhaktisiddhnta Sarasvat Gosvm and concluded your speech with the following words:
Personally, I have no hope for any direct service for the coming crores of births of the sojourn of my life,
present so deeply sunk. Therefore let me with all my earnestness pray at the lotus feet of my divine
master to allow me to suffer the lot for which I am destined due to my past misdoings, but to let me have
realized through the unflinching mercy of my divine master. Let me therefore bow down at his lotus feet
with all the humility at my command.
rla Prabhupda, I would like to offer my prayers with these very same words at your lotus feet on this
occasion of your Vyasa Puja celebration. Deeply sunk in the mire of delusion, there is no hope for me
except your divine grace. Please bless me so that I can engage in your service forever keeping aside all
my personal considerations.

All glories to Shrila Prabhupada and Shri Shri Brahma-Madhva-Gaudya vaishnava parampara.
Dear spiritual master, Hare Krishna.
"Hare Krishna". This is the only set of words I can accumulate to worthily glorify, congratulate or speak
anything about your greatness. Till now I have been talking and doing all nonsense like a dump always
keeps on making so many unpleasant noise. But in my life I have seen the special power of Your Divine
Grace who made this foolish dumb named Kadamba Kanana Dasa speak of your glories and distribute
more than 700 of your transcendental literatures just in 4 months to so many intelligent people of this
world. Despite me having hundreds of shortcomings and lacking to satisfactorily follow your
VyasaPuja2011

instructions Your Divine Grace have never left me uncared May Shri Radha Krishna Chandra always
keep your sweet namesand fames spreading throwout the universe. I pray at your lotus feet that kindly
never forsake this otherwise unworthy creature from your shelter. Jaya parama karuna gurudeva shrila
Prabhupada.
Hare Krishna.

Please accept my respectful obeisance unto your lotus feet. Words and my mind fail me when I want to
write to my spiritual master, you, Srila Prabhupada. I do not know why. Mukam karoti vachaalam says
the prayer. But, still I am not able to write any words. Hence, these words of glorification are also a
manifestation of Your mercy. I would have done countless offenses at your lotus feet. Please forgive me
for all those and help me glorify you, Prabhupada.
You are all-glorious eternally. The Supreme Lord himself resides always with you and you are always
surrendered to him in each of your thought, word and deed. You are ever-compassionate to all souls
irrespective of their guna or karma. You are always focused on spreading the holy name of Krsna and
executing Chaintanya Mahaprabhus order. You cannot be compared to any philanthropists at all, since
you are always more compassionate to all living beings trying to send us all to our Eternal abode, to our
Eternal father, but still you do not neglect our present day troubles or illusions or ignorance. Your sweet
smile and clear words cleanse our hearts and minds of all unwanted things. You explain the Supreme
truth so beautifully, profusely and interestingly. Your words attract not only the minds of great
intellectuals but also everyones soul towards their real aim, Krsna.
Thank you, Srila Prabhupada for giving this unworthy soul, eternal shelter at your lotus feet. Please help
me not to deviate from this. I do not even know to make relevant enquiries, but I still received the
shelter of your lotus feet, by getting initiated, it is a very very surprising thought for me. That too, on the
eventful day when Your Divine Graces Acharya authority was challenged on material basis. But still, you
are all-glorious and causelessly merciful to all. Hence, I have received this mercy, I think.
Thank you, Srila Prabhupada for associating me with Your Divine Graces genuine followers. I would
never have been able to distinguish, would have got cheated, got abandoned. I cannot even think of
where the other path would have led me to. I am eternally indebted to Your Divine Grace and your
genuine followers in ISKCON- Bangalore.
Thank you, Srila Prabhupada for guiding my conscience always. Thank you for the countless blessings
and Krsnas service you have bestowed on me.
Please forgive my countless offenses. My ardent prayer to you is to give me the association of your
genuine disciples and followers and never to let me offend them in any way thought, word or action. I
beg you for knowledge, strength and required resources to support the cause of your mission.
Keshava Dasa
My Dear Gurudeva,
I do not have any qualification to even claim that I am your disciple. But by your causeless mercy you
have accepted me as your disciple. What on earth do I want more than that? I do not want to be carried
away by sentimental stupidity, but by your divyagnyan. I always want you to keep me under your shelter
so that I am guided properly in this spiritual life and may fall at your lotus feet when I leave this body.I
just want you to be my guru every janma I take. I do not want to surrender to any body but you only.
This is my humble request at your lotus feet.

My dear spiritual Master, Srila Prabhupada,
By your mercy, I stepped into the Chennai ISKCON Jagannath temple on that fortunate day of August
1981, not very serious about seeking out the Truth or the goal of my life. You are so benevolent that you
then gave me the service of tying garlands, alongwith my siblings, for Their Lordships, Jagannath,
Baladev and Subhadra, as well as Krishna, Rukmini, Satyabhama.. Although I did not take to chanting or
following all of the regulative principles immediately, you and Lord Krishna took charge of my life from
that very day. I continued to do some humble service for Their Lordships, but still didnt get serious
about spiritual life, till later. Despite this, only you and Krishna know how many dangers of this
material life you have protected me from, and you are so kind and merciful, that you will never let me
know the million times you have carried me out of hellish situations, without even a scar.
VyasaPuja2011

Thank you for becoming the most important part of my life and for making my life so simple. Now all I
need to do with my life is to read, chant and render devotional service just follow your simple
instructions, for which I get the ticket to go back to the kingdom of The Supreme Personality of
Godhead, actually a very small price to pay for the kingdom of God.
Over these years in Krishna Consciousness, I have learnt more strongly that this material world is the
most hellish place to be in and it is not for a gentleman (as you have said) and only by the grace of Guru,
I can get out of this endless cycle of birth, death, old age and disease. You are so merciful that you have
given this golden, once in a lifetime opportunity to this fool, to cross over the ocean of material existence
and walk on the road, back to Godhead. I have also learnt that while asking Krishna only for Bhakti, He
has given me everything I need, much more than I deserve and can handle.
Without your mercy, presence and guidance, my life would have been an empty suitcase, and I would
have been going nowhere. Since I have found my lifes purpose, please continue to give me strength of
detachment from material desires and keep me on the path of service to your Divine Grace and Krishna,
as without you, my life will become meaningless and empty again.
I beg your mercy on all the devotees who are fighting against all odds, to re-establish you as the sole
Diksha Guru of ISKCON. I know you see the sincerity in their purpose. Please give them the strength
to overcome all the infamy and injustice that is being meted out to them by those in the garb of
Vaishnavas, and let them be successful in their purpose of service to Your Divine Grace.
Please give me the strength and humility to handle all the mercy that you causelessly shower on me.
Your insignificant, fallen servant,

Your Insignificant Servant, Always Starving For Your Mercy,
Mahabhadra Dasa
Mahananda Dasa
Beloved Father,
On the occasion of your Vyasa-puja, the day of your blessed appearance in this world, I make the
following humble offering.
amara bhaktera pujaama haite bada
VyasaPuja2011

Worship of My devotees is superior to worship of Me.
- CC Madhya 11.28, Lord Caitanya quoting the Adi Purana.
Im your most fallen disciple in the true sense and I can say that without having to apply any modesty. I
have displeased you innumerable times and Im now unable to show my face to you in self disgust. You
gave me the shelter of your lotus feet and gave me the greatest boon that every jiva is waiting for from
millions of life times. I have thrown away that boon in exchange for the gross pleasures of this world.
Without a doubt, I deserve to rot in the most deplorable hellish planet for eternity for displeasing you.
You have, by your endless compassion, forgiven me and once again bought me close to you. Im most
repulsive and worthless and yet your fondness for me is so natural and seems everlasting. This trait of
yours Srila Prabhupada continues to amaze me every minute.
Sometimes by Krishnas kind arrangement, some individuals might look down upon me and think of me
as a fallen angel, maybe even that I continue to struggle with my basics in Krishna consciousness,
maybe that Im a materialistic man in many ways and that I have no spiritual credit. Im far from denying
that. By your mercy I had the great vision to see that in truth, by looking down upon me as a fallen
person, they are actually glorifying you Srila Prabhupada! Im most fallen, but look how benevolent my
Gurudeva is! He still continues to compassionately engage me in the service of the greatest Lord.
Srila Prabhupada, you are an all powerful paramahamsa and you are the Kalpataru for all the jivas
coming to you. You are the mighty destroyer of atheism and the most formidable force that has ever
struck the kingdom of Maya and yet you display your magnitude by offering all credit to your spiritual
master and also to your disciples.
You are indeed all powerful, indeed representing Sri Balarama. Please therefore bestow me with the
spiritual strength to serve you. Let my sole desire remain to serve you with unflinching faith unto your
lotus feet. As Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Thakura describes the qualities of a disciple, kindly allow me to
think of you when I eat, sleep, bathe, walk, serve and everywhere in between. Please let me understand
that your lotus feet are my only refuge. This is the only manner in which I will be able to study, cherish
and apply your magnificent words which you have so mercifully retained within your books.
Krsna is yours. You have the power to give Him to me. I am simply your servant running behind you
shouting, "Krsna! Krsna!"
Forever pursuing the desire to remain your servant,
Mahananda Dasa

Prithu Dasa
Hare krishna Prabhupada,
Please accept my humble obeisances on to your lotus feet. On this auspicious occasion i beg your mercy,
forgiveness and blessings in to krishna consciousness. I know & you n krishna also know that how
many mistakes or offenses that i have done to holy name & to vaishnavas. I sincerely apologies and beg
your forgiveness.
Yasya prasadad bhagavat prasado, yasya aprasadad na gati kuto pi. Without your blessings one can not
achieve love of krishna, or if one fails to satisfy you than one can not satisfy lord KRISHNA. Hence i only
request you is please bless me with loving service of yours and of their lordship radhakrishna.
At last forgive me, forgive me & forgive me..I am sorry.....help & give knowledge to me so that i can
chant without offense and remember krishna in all my activities.
Thanks and regards,
Prithu dasa.(Prasanna Nadgir)

Please accept my most humble obeisances and kindly forgive my offences. On this most blessed event
Sri Vyasa-Puja, the 115th appearance day of my beloved spiritual master, I am filled with a sense of
gratitude and wonder. I cannot even imagine where my life would be today, if you had not appeared and
blessed us all with your divine benediction.
Srila Prabhupada, you saved me from a life of misery and ignorance. You gave me hope. By Your mercy
the seed of bhakti was planted in my heart and from that moment there was no turning back. I continue
to stumble and succumb to the illusory energy but by Your Grace I have never lost faith and hope and
every day of my life I am feeling so much gratitude and appreciation for being delivered by You into the
light of Krishna consciousness.
You are present in your vani; Your books and instructions. You are always present in your pictures
and murtis. You live in the hearts of Your sincere devotees. You have touched us all so deeply; we
cannot help but remember You.
The Son of a wealthy father is so nicely taken care of and when the father passes away,the son gets
inherited all his estates and huge amount of money. Srila Prabhupada, as Your spiritual sons and
daughters we have also received from you a great inheritance -- greater than all the material wealth
imaginable. You have given us eternal life, knowledge of the absolute, happiness and hope. You have
bestowed upon us the most valuable treasure, Krishna consciousness. You put us on the path back to
home, back to Godhead and in Your physical absence You continue to teach and guide us through Your
instructions. We continue to reap the benefits of being Your spiritual children because you remain with
us in Your books, letters and in Your recorded classes, lectures and conversations. We can even still
listen to You chanting japa, singing bhajans and leading kirtans. By spreading Your legacy of love and
mercy to others we can attempt to express our appreciation but in actuality there is no way we can ever
repay Your kindness and generosity. On this auspicious occasion celebrating Your Vyasa Puja we thank
You for adopting us, accepting us as Your disciples and bringing us into the eternal family of Gaudiya
Vaisnavism.
Now, by Your Grace, I'm begging You to always use me in Your service in any way You desire -- in
success or failure, honor or dishonor, happiness or distress; please, oh most merciful Srila Prabhupada,
let me never leave Your lotus feet, because You are my only shelter and refuge.
You have told us that having a dream of the Spiritual Master is real, a direct experience with him and it
pleases You very much. This dream communication is a form of spiritual telepathy, or an extra-sensory
communication that is found extensively in our Vaisnava history. A practical example of this was seen
with my daughter. Just three days before she left this world she had a dream of traveling with You in a
large ship along with so many devotees but I was very unfortunate to understand that experience of her.
But most of all, Your Divine Grace have given us Your association, Your instructions and Your example.
Now, by Your Grace, I humbly request that You kindly bless me with the desire and ability to share
these matchless gifts with each and every single conditioned soul in the material world. Please help me
to someday become Your real disciple and serve you without reservation according to Your desire. May
this be my only aspiration, life after life.
Over the years, our Vaishnava family has been struggling in your personal absence. The audacious
bogus gurus are trying to jeopardize the movement. In your personal presence, these things could
always be resolved by Your firm hand and loving guidance. But now we find everything more difficult.
Although I have no qualifications whatsoever, today I come before You with a humble prayer in my
heart. Please help us to heal the rifts between us and to come together as a family once again at Your
Lotus Feet. There is so much service to be done in executing Your blessed mission of delivering the
conditioned souls in this world and therefore we need to work together in a spirit of love and co-
VyasaPuja2011

operation to be truly effective in the way that You desired. But without Your blessings, it will never
work. So I humbly pray at Your Lotus Feet that You will so kindly enter our hearts and inspire us to find
the ways and means of fulfilling Your beautiful transcendental vision of a happy and unified world
movement under Your leadership and direction. Kindly help us to please You in this way.
Please accept my humble obeisances again and again. All glories to your lotus feet.

Please accept my humble obeisances. You are the most powerful preacher and our eternal Spiritual
Master.
In Bhagavata Dharma it is said that "any person regardless at birth as sudra, woman, or merchant can
take the shelter at the Lotus Feet of the Lord and by so doing return to the Back-Home.
But how can we get the service of the Lotus Feet of the Lord . We the conditioned souls are acting like
puppets under the influence of maya. We cannot find the Lord through our material gross senses or
VyasaPuja2011

subtle senses. And also we are not ready to take any further step to advance in spiritual path. Our main
intention is to get more abd more enjoyment. Because of that desire, we kicked out from the spiritual
world. We are so fallen that we want to enjoy life without touching Krishna.
We are nitya baddha always conditioned even before the creation and always forget the relationship with
the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Still the Lord is so merciful. Out of his imense compassion Lord
reveal Himself as the Spiritual Master. He send His persoanl associate to the material planet, just to take
us back to Him. You are the Spiritual Maser, empowered by KRISHNA. You come here just to open our
ignorant eyes.
"Om ajnana-timirandhasya jnananjana Salakaya Chakshur unmilitial yena tasmai sri gurave namah"
Once You were asked by an interviewer " Are You a Guru?" and You replied very gravely "yes, I am the
"SPIRITUAL MASTER" of this institution and all the members of the society, they are supposed to be my
disciples. They are initiated by Me spiritually."
But what Your disciples did? They chated You and they cheated all the devotees. After Your physical
departure from this material world, 11 of them (ritviks) declated themselves as diksha gurus. They were
supposed to make desiciples for You, but they stared making disciples for themselves and started
receiving the honour and worship. This disobedience led them to fall down from their position.
In order to protect the service of Your mission, " ISKCON BANGALORE " the only " RITVIK " temple in
whole world started fighting against these pseudo gurus.
Dear Srila Prabhupada, this is Your temple. Under the strong authority and by following Your
instructions, all the devotees executing their activities. We are proud of being a member of this society. I
know we are safe and always will be safe under the shelter at Your Lotus Feet.
Thank You very much to keep us in this institution. We are very fortunate to not to take any so called
Gurus shelter or blind following of this cheaters. Let me not loose my FAITH
Aspiring the service of Your Divine Grace,
' Sachidevi Dasi '
Satya Medha Dasa
Even though I know you, still I dont know you. I know you through your books and videos and by your
reciprocation, invariably always, from the time Ive known you. To tell you honestly, I know you a little
more now, because of the kind association of your staunch devotees. This offering is to reascertain my
longing to know you more and associate more with you, through your devotees who know you more
through your words, and know nothing else.
Even though it is a known fact that this Kaliyuga is full of kleshas, why is it more prominent in your
own special house? Why cant you shower your mercy on your sincere followers and free them from
anxieties, to concentrate and propagate your mission, which is just at its seedling stage? You have
assured those who are inclined to follow Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabus parampara, that you will be their
Acharya for the next 10,000 years. I am a very small and insignificant jiva who cant perceive your hand
in all the things connected to propagating your movement subtly, and can see things only when they are
like hard facts visible to my tiny eyes. Therefore, I request you to make your efforts visible and give all
the necessary strength and intelligence to your staunch devotees, to uphold your transcendental
movement, to usher a good era to the devotees hankering for your shelter, both in the present and the
future.
When you have told us that there is no duality in the spiritual world, why is there duality in your own
movement - one camp holding you as the only Spiritual Master and the other, overcome by power and
fame, posing themselves as The Spiritual Master and dissuading the tender souls who are seeking the
VyasaPuja2011

shelter of your lotus feet? How can a father keep silent when his ignorant children ,who are sincere
souls, are being misled? Since the life span in Kaliyuga is very short, why are members in your own
house wasting their valuable time, still looking for the perfect Spiritual Master? Why cant they just
follow your instructions and render devotional service to you and Lord Krishna?
Kindly step in at this hour of crisis and take control of the situation and re-establish this pure,
transcendental & sublime Krishna Conscious movement as architectured by you and guide us to
propagate the glories of Sri Krishna, to the whole world, as desired by your spiritual master.
Your servant of the servants,
Satyamedha Dasa.

Please accept my humble obeisance.
Thank you for giving me your mercy. I am in touch with Krishna Consciousness from my birth. I am
chanting 16 rounds daily without fail and doing ekadashi. I will try to read more books which you
wrote. With your blessings Srila Prabhupada anybody can come out of material miseries. I want your
mercy more and more Srila Prabhupada to develop in Krishna Consciousness. I want to serve you as
much as I can.

My dear Lord, dear Srila Prabhupad,
Because of your special mercy, you have formally accepted me as your disciple even though I have no
qualification, determination or enthusiasm. I am struggling to practice the rules laid by you. As you are
aware, I am one of the most worthless disciple. I am seeing lots of your disciples working day and night
for your mission, but unfortunately I havent developed the taste to do in the same manner. I am still
filled with materialistic vision and material identification.
I have full faith in you Srila Prabhupad, and know that all the distractions which I am experiencing are
just a stroke of your kick. Please bless me that I will be able to follow all your instructions very strictly
with determination and dedication.
Your Humble Servent,
Surasena Dasa
Srikar Govinda Dasa
Dearest Srila Prabhupada ,
I am indebted to you for formally accepting me as your disciple this year and also for giving a home at
the foot hills of your HK Hill temple .
Prabhupada , sometimes I rejoice in the success that your Akshaya Patra team has achieved in the last
few years . Please keep me always grounded so that I dont get puffed up. Please make me realize it is
your mercy that is making us taste success and also the fact that I am doing a squirels job.
VyasaPuja2011

Prabhupada, Many a times I have acted in a manner which would have caused anxiety and distress to
your disciples . Please pardon me for this offense.
Prabhupada , Inspite of your clear directions on maintaining high standards for deity worship , I am
unable to practice the same with Radha Krishna deities at home . Please pardon us for the offences which
we are committing and show direction.
Prabhupada, I am ever indebted to you for increasing my faith in your teachings amidst the attacks from
adversaries . Please keep me in your lotus feet and do not put me in forgetfulness of your position as the
spiritual master .
Prabhupada , In the temporary crisis which we are going through in your institution there will be many
who may think that the world outside is more problem free and lucrative . Please keep the team in your
service .
Prabhupada , Please send more and more sincere devotee professionals who can assist your full time
disciples in making your institution realize your vision .
Prabhupada , As I always have been asking you please bless your institution with leaders who are not
interested in becoming gurus instead want to sincerely serve you .
Prabhupada , whatever situation / difficulties we may be in when I come and stand in front of you and
their lordships a solution emerges soon . It is such a nice feeling to be under your supreme protection.
Your servant

Please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet. All glories to you!!
You are constantly reciprocating to me in so many ways that it is difficult for me to even express my
gratitude sufficiently. However, as usual, I shall make an attempt through this offering within my limited
abilities.
During the previous year. I was in a desperate situation as it appeared that our services to the temple
would be disrupted and our fledgling spiritual life would end abruptly. My health was affected severely
due to this stress and sadhana also became weak. I felt very hopeless and was constantly thinking of
various solutions to the problem. Failing in my attempts to arrive at a solution to the problem, I prayed
for your protection and then approached senior devotees in the temple for help. We discussed the issue
with them and sought their advice. They not only helped us in resolving the problem but also
encouraged us to improve our sadhana. Due to their motivation, we became more regular in attending
temple programmes and our spiritual life is back on track. You manifested your mercy through your
institution and I am very thankful for your transcendental protection.
I got a deeper understanding of your exalted position from one of the SB classes given by a senior
Vaishnava. I learnt that it is very difficult for one to come to the point of accepting and worshipping
Krishna. One has to be purified of all sins, engaged in devotional service, free from the delusion of
duality of this material world and have firm determination to become a devotee of Krishna. It is only by
the presence of a pure devotee is it possible for commoners to achieve all these qualifications. Your
glance removes all our sinful reactions, by your direction we engage in devotional service, your
association frees us from delusion of duality and by following your example we become determined in
Krishna Consciousness. This is your glorious position and transcendental mercy on your disciples.
In stark contrast to this, several conditioned souls in the garb of pure devotees and gurus are spreading
blatant lies that you are a past acharya and hence you cannot reciprocate with devotees. Many
innocent souls who get introduced to Krishna Consciousness through your books are being cheated by
these bogus gurus who are using disgusting means to usurp your position as the sole Diksha Guru in
VyasaPuja2011

ISKCON. They have taken control of several temples across the world. Now, they are unleashing various
devious tactics to grab ISKCON Bangalore too. They are disturbing the preaching activities of your
sincere disciples who are engaged in spreading your glories.
Srila Prabhupad, You are our eternal Well-Wisher. Please continue to glance upon us, direct us, let us
associate with you and follow you eternally. Please protect your temple and all your devotees who are
fighting bravely for you.
Depending on you,

This year has been the most unforgettable year of my life. I started the year by doing Book Distribution.
By your causeless mercy I was able to do reasonably well. I learnt the concept of Double It. I again
pray for your mercy to live up to your expectations of Double It by trying my best to double the sales
of books in the coming year.
By your special mercy I was able to assist the Cell Coordinators of Jayanagar Krishna Ashraya who were
very senior devotees and they really groomed me nicely and encouraged me at every step to become
independent to start a new cell in my area. I got a wonderful opportunity to learn a lot of new things
from them.
By your grace, I was able to conduct a small summer camp for government school children near my area
and those kids have started reading Bhagavad Gita As it Is and are chanting minimum 4 rounds
everyday.
May 29th 2011 was a turning point in my life when I got initiated as Sulochana Devi Dasi. From that
day, till today I am struggling really hard to follow your instructions with utmost sincerity. I am
focusing more on improving my quality of chanting/service/reading/hearing all aspects of devotional
service. Prabhupada, as you already know at times I feel very frustrated and agitated if I am unable to
follow your instructions properly. That is when I immediately read and remember one of your quotes
about Achalam or determination and patience which are two very important qualities a devotee should
possess in order to progress in spiritual life.
In spite of me doing so many mistakes in following your instructions, you have been always very
merciful in giving me more and more service. Recently I got an opportunity to do service for Heritage
Fest. Again by your causeless mercy I have got a wonderful opportunity to assist preachers in colleges
where I link up the girls to Krishna Ashraya program.
By your special mercy I have got the permission to start a cell in Banashankari 2nd stage for college girls
and families. I am really looking forward to make more and more girls interested in reading your
precious books and take up Krishna Consciousness seriously.
Srila Prabhupada, without your causeless mercy I cannot do anything. Please bless me with intelligence
to execute your mission properly and help me to follow your instructions seriously, sincerely, strictly
and submissively. Also please give me the intelligence to control my tongue, especially pastries and junk
food prasadam from Jayanagar Higher Taste bakery. As you know Prabhupada I want to be a good cook
where I can make nice prasadam for Lord Krishna. But I invariably goof up and make some mistakes.
Please help me to overcome my stupidity in devotional service. Please accept me as your disciple.

Please accept my humble and respectful obeisance unto your lotus feet,
From the time I first visited this magnificent temple 13 years back with my in laws you have enabled me
to come a long way in Krishna consciousness. It was supposed to be a routine visit to a temple like any
other temple which I was used to. While returning I purchased a set of small books and read the book
Second Chance which impressed me very much and it turned out to be the only chance in my life to
understand what I am and why I am suffering running behind material things. Your books are
transcendental in nature. Simultaneously I started chanting Hare Krishna Mahamantra regularly and
gradually with your mercy reached 16 rounds every day and also practiced regulatory principles.
Prior to reading your books and hearing your classes I had a very vague idea of god and all that I knew
was that he is provider of our needs. It is after reading your books I realized how simple, rational and
scientific the vedic knowledge is. With a bonafide guru like you and association with devotees who
follow the path shown by you one can make real progress in Krishna Consciousness.
Your instructions whether it is your books, lectures, conversations , is like a manual of instructions for
all aspiring devotees to find a proper way in the path of spiritual life. One need not try to become expert
in vedic scriptures to advance in devotional service, which is very difficult or impossible for people like
us. All that we have to do is to just follow your instructions as it is.
You have shown us a way to achieve peaceful lifestyle which every human being can adopt without any
difficulty and make advancement in devotional service.
My only request is to give me strength to chant my rounds properly and practice Krishna consciousness
without any interruption.
Your humble servant
Urijita Krishna Dasa
Vaageesha Dasa
I really don't have words to thank you for you have opened my darkened eyes and given me the
transcendental knowledge. Even if I serve Your Divine Grace for millions of lives, I cannot repay you for
the understanding of the life you have bestowed upon me. Its only after coming into ISKCON and
getting in touch with your teachings I got the clarity in my life. I understood my position as a servant to
Krishna, but struggling to accept my position as a servant and still the lording tendency is very much
predominant in me. I thought at least let me surrender unto you on the gross level and serve the
movement. But that also never lasted for long because of the lusty desire.
I am really very fortunate to come in touch with you and your teachings and the devotees but I am the
most unfortunate that I am not able to follow the rules strictly. Because of this, day in and day out I am
really struggling hard with the lusty desire, false ego and Maya. Prabhupada, please make the Hare
Krishna Maha mantra as my Life and Soul and please bestow your mercy upon me that I can serve you
life after life without any personal motivations and always be in the association of the devotees. Even
though these words are not from the core of my heart, please bestow your mercy such that I hanker for
these from the core of my heart and be faithful to you.
Hankering to serve your Movement,
Yours Fallen Servant,
Vaageesha Dasa

Bhakta Abheejit
My mind was captured by mental speculation and was mesmerized by various philosophies with no
claritiy in any of them, no perfect truth in any of them. But the day I came to Iskcon Bangalore and
started giving my ear to His Divine grace A.C.Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada I started seeing truth
everywhere.
This was the first time I was able to see knowledge applicable in the practical material world. Being in
contact with a pure devotee of the lord is as apparent as the difference of light between the sun and that
of small lights with limited power. Prabhupada really filled the glasses of scriptures onto my eyes and
then everything is clear. I now know what will help me and what will not. I now know what I should do
and what I shouldnt. I now know what to seek for and what not to seek for and what more is needed
Thanks, is very less but still Thank you Srila Prabhupada

Please accept my humble obeisances unto your lotus feet. Hitherto, I was under the clutches of maya
resulting much sufferings and miseries. Somehow, by Lord Krishnas grace, I came in contact of your
unparalleled esteem society and awoke from the slumber and like phoenix commenced my exercise
initially by reading your books. Gradually this initiative of mine, has given me a comfortable mental
equilibrium to rise up to the occasion to improve my lifestyle.
The knowledge you have poured into your writings, is laudable and any person, if seriously,
thoughtfully studies in depth, with pointed attention, he will understand the reality of life. Your smooth
flow of recurring instruction, to chant the holy name of Lord Krishna, has made me to attempt. I started
with a small step to chant the holy name of Krishna. In course of time, I gained relief which is
indescribable. Prabhupada, you have taught me about the real purpose behind this magnificent creation,
why we have taken birth in this world, what is our duty, why a person should prioritize religious
injunctions and what is divine knowledge, what is our relation with Krishna, and how to reach Him
through a real Guru etc.
Prabhupada, you have provided how to finish our business and escape from this scorching world which
is temporary and all the time, hauling the living beings and pushing them in the trench of sufferings.
The simple process you devised and distributed to the mankind, to chant the holy names of the Lord
Hare Krishna Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna Hare Hare, Hare Rama Hare Rama, Rama Rama Hare Hare
is praise worthy.
When I opened the pages of your biography, I was deeply moved to read, how much tribulations you
underwent. The most difficult task of going to western country, living in the precinct of degraded
people, and preaching the pessimistic, agnostic strata of people who all the time niggardly dressed and
engaged in inhaling intoxicants, is not an ordinary endeavor. You poured over them, plethora of
compassion towards these fallen souls and renovating them to become devotee of Krishna. By the mercy
of cool and soothing effects of your instructions have made a visible impact on them and they got a new
direction in their life. You have taught everyone who came in your contact, how to chant Hare Krishna
maha mantra, which is the only way for deliverance in Kali yuga. Because of chanting, everyone,
practicing this, got solace in their life.
The sincere reader of your books, can strongly feel the burning heat sensation of blazing fire of material
entanglement, more so in this millennium of iron age (Kali yuga) the age of quarrels, hypocrisy. Taking
birth in this world is nothing but entering a dragon, which is abominable. The only medicine you have
prescribed is chanting the holy names of the Lord and actively involving in devotional service of Lord
Krishna. Everyone is trying in this world to accumulate wealth, spend for sense gratification and lead
aristocratic life and lord over the material nature. This tendency of human being is rampant and the
only solution is to follow into the footsteps of yours and learn how to lead the life and return back home,
back to Godhead.
You have very superbly and ironically underlined that human birth is not meant for sensual pleasure
like dogs and hogs but attaining the abode of Lord Goloka Vrindavana. You have also cited the simple
ways how to accomplish this. A right thinking person with his prudence can pave his way in right
earnestness and reach the ultimate goal of life. Here before, I did not come across this reality. After
reading your books regularly and chanting the holy names of Lord, I gradually realize the reality of life,
and mould my life. I beseech your blessings showered on me to be successful in my sincere attempts,
which alone can save me from the radiation of mundane attractions.
Umpteen number of devotees, who have dedicated their life in the service of Lord and the Guru like you,
rise up early in the morning, regardless of seasonal discomforts, take bath, get ready to attend Mangala
VyasaPuja2011

Arati, complete their 16 prescribed rounds of chanting, attend Darshan Arati, hearing the lectures from
the senior devotees, honoring Prasadam and lead to the mass for distribution of books, bring money for
Krishna to meet out the expenditure of temple. This regular diary of full time devotees never make them
enterprising and enthusiastically they execute their duty which ultimately pleases Lord. I am very much
enchanted to view this scenario and share this in the group of people whom I meet during the course of
my duty.
Prabhupada, I beg you again and again to shower your blessings on me and condone the offenses
knowingly or unknowingly perpetrated by me. Please protect me from the onslaughts of maya so that I
can always be engaged in serving Your Lotus Feet and the Lotus Feet of Radha Krishna Chandra,
Krishna Balarama, Gour Nitai and make my life successful.
With high respects,

As your divine grace is eternally liberated, its impossible to bind you in words. My life was hellish,
before you showered your causeless mercy, though a lot of purification is pending, I have full faith in the
divine process mercifully revealed by your divine grace.
Chanting of 16 rounds daily and following the 4 four regulative principles are the biggest concessions
given to the most fallen people when compared to the austere methods prescribed to please Lord in the
earlier times.
Though born in India; in Jaipur which is also known as "Gupt Vrindavan", I kept searching for truth for
twenty years and finally through your teachings concluded that KRSNA is the Supreme Personality of
Godhead, as always boldly declared by your divine grace.Presently much confusion is crearted by so
many bogus gurus, its very difficult to find a genuine divine person like your divine grace. Spirituality
would have remained a vague term for me, limited to obtaining some magical powers.I consider myself
most fortunate for getting a chance to render little service to Mahaprabhu's mission.
I am still struggling very hard to avail the concession given by your divine grace and I am fully
dependent on your causeless mercy which will bring about purification in due course of time, increase
my serving attitude for GURU and KRSNA and save me from committing any offenses at the lotus feet of
Vaisanavas.
Prabhupada you undoubtedly possess the twenty six qualities of an Acharya which were exibited by you
at every phase of life. Your divine faith in execution of the orders of your Spiritual Master, Srila
Bhaktisiddhanta Thakur, teaching us how to become an ideal disciple. You were very happily situated
practicing devotional service in Radha Damodar Temple in Vrindavan but the intense burning desire of
fullfilling the mission of your Guru Maharaj made you travel and preach in the West by risking your life.
You suffered heart attacks but that couldnt remove your patience, enthusiasm and determination and
you always request devotees to inculcate these qualities.
As stated by Chaitanya Mahaprabhu that in future his commander in chief will come and spread the holy
name in every town and village; you left no stone unturned in spreading the holy name of the lord
throughout all continents. You have mercifully given the chance to people of all caste and creed,
irrespective of their past pious credits to practice the most valuable thing of human life.
Srila Prabhupada, you were the first to boldly challenge the scientists who were considered the
authorities at that time. Not only you defeated many of them but also made them devotess of the Lord.
You have provided the world with more than eighty volumes of literature and the purports written by
VyasaPuja2011

your divine grace feel so fresh and enlightening every time they are read. I think one life is not enough to
read all your books scrutinizingly.
O Spiritual Master ,Saviour of the fallen souls, my humble obesiances unto you again and again for
giving a chance to even the most fallen to get relief from three fold miseries of the material world and to
go back home, back to Godhead to enjoy a blissfull life.

"First of all my sincere obeisances and salutations to their Lordships - Srimati Radharani and Sri Krishna
(Lord Jagannatha) and to our revered Guru, Srila Prabhupada. It has been due to the unconditional love
of Srimati Radharani, Sri Krishna and Srila Prabhupada that I was able to get in touch with Srila
Prabhupada's ISKCON. I must admit that there has been a sea change in my lifestyle for good. Srila
Prabhupada's teachings, being provided generously to all through his books are a blessing for all of
mankind. It helps one to transcend the ocean of nescience or ignorance and guides towards the light of
true spiritual knowledge, the actual science of understanding oneself and his relationship with Krishna.
Many people have taken benefit from Srila Prabhupada's teachings and I am blessed to be one of them. I
will strive and continue to work on the path of Srila Prabhupada's teachings in my goal of attaining self-
realization, to understand one's eternal relationship with the Supreme Personality of Godhead and what
needs to be done here to go back to the eternal spiritual abode of the Lord to immerse oneself eternally
in his service.

every danger to bring us news of your best friend, Krishna! You have given us the holy names through

love you.

Srila Prabhupada, many times I think that am I the same person who used to be completely different just
10 yrs back than what Im today?
After I came in touch with you I have changed a lot and came to know the difference between me, my
body, this world, my duties and Krishna.
I was a believer of God earlier, but did not know who is Krishna and who am I, still I have not yet got
the perfection in understanding myself and also my Lord Krishna completely but I am sure that one day
I may succeed in this because of your mercy.
Dear Prabhupada, Now I have some understanding to analyse about your great position as a real Guru
and other material people so called gurus who are without any spiritual knowledge and (who are)
VyasaPuja2011

leading many blind men (one Blind is leading blind men). I am happy & proud to be one of your small
follower/disciple whom you are instructing many things about lord and the spiritual world.
Srila Prabhupada I also would like bring this to your notice and thank the ISKCON Bangalore authorities
who have connected me and many other people like me directly to you and helped us to know your
position as a real guru of ISKCON in this Kali yuga and show us the way as to how we can serve you and
krishna, otherwise we also would have been miss led like many other ISKCONites in some other
cities/countries by some of the self made gurus, who have nothing( knowledge of krishna prema) with
them to give it to others or their disciples.
Dear Prabhupada, I know that I have not follow some of your orders and not doing great preaching of
your mission, I would kindly beg you to help me to render your service and push me to preach more
Caitanya Mahaprabhus mission so that more people get to know about Krishna and chant the holy
name.
I would also beg you to forgive me for whatever offences I would have done knowingly or unknowingly
to yours & lords lotus feet and please keep me in your lotus feet service always.

My dear most, respectful spiritual master,
I offer my respectful obiesances to your lotus feet, who enlightened me with the torch light of knowledge
when I was in a deep slumber in the deepest region of ignorance and constantly harassed by the ghosts
of three modes & constantly slaughtered by the sharp, long & fearful sword of three fold miseries & had
no way to get out & crying with tears of intense pain & seeking a true relation with whom I can trust &
fully give myself & not knowing who are those! You came to gave those two personalities i.e., Sri Sri
Radha - Krishna, my eternal parents.
You gave me two gems which I can keep with me eternally. O my spiritual master, SRILA
PRABHUPADA who gave my objects of love, I request you that with in a very short span of time if you
will make those two gems to appear in this planet by your causeless mercy & those two gems will
destroy the false-guru system & re-establish you as Jagat- Guru.
(Although you are still Jagat-Guru but rogues & thieves have occupied that position).

All glories to srila prabhupada,
I thank you my beloved spiritual master, because you brought happiness in my life. Earlier I was very
much contaminated and living in tamo guna. Actually I didnt know any gunas but you revealed the real
knowledge to me (divya jn hde prokito).
You taught me the actual relationship between ourself and supreme father, krsna.I offer my respectful
obeisance unto the lotus feet of you, srila prabhupada. Because of srila prabhupada I could know at least
that I am very much fallen and degraded and not this body.
VyasaPuja2011

It does not matter whether a person is a vipra (learned scholar in vedic wisdom) or is born in a lower
family or is in the renounced order of life if he is master in the science of krsna, he is the perfect and
bonafide spiritual master, like srila prabhupada.

Six months before I had migraine when I was in second semester of MCA. My head was paining all time.
I was unable to read a small paragraph. I start hating books. But then through one preacher I got one
book in which Srila Prabhupadas picture was there.
By luck I opened that page and start concentrating on picture especially on his tilak. Slowly increasing
time from 10 minutes to hour, then twice week I again started to go to college.
And now I am free from migraine. I am too much benefited by a picture.
Later on I got opportunity to stay in FOLK Hostel.

Dear Prabhupad,
Pranam!
I had heard this long back that the Guru appears when the disciple is ready. I guess same was the case
with me too, I am very grateful to the supreme personality of Godhead Krishna for sending you in my
life when I needed the spiritual guidance. I had the urge to dive into the spiritual world and taste its
nectar but was clueless about the real path of spiritual realization and more over bewildered by the
concocted teachings of the bogus Gurus in this material world. Truly speaking when I came in touch
with you at ISKCON Bangalore something my beliefs were shaken up from the roots and started coming
to the temple regularly. My bewilderment started to vanish. Your teachings became the guiding light in
VyasaPuja2011

my spiritual quest. Surrendering to you whole heartedly and accepting you as my spiritual master has
enabled me to progress in Krishna consciousness with full focus and devotion though, I never met you
in the physically but seems to me that you have always been with me and supporting me spiritually. I
would like to take the opportunity to thank you from the deepest core of my heart for giving me a
chance to become your disciple and receive your divine guidance on my way back to Godhead.
I know my head to thee.
You being there for me;
When in maya I was lost
Materially he wildered & too frost,
You came to me showed me light
You made me spiritually shine so bright.
I thank you for all your selfless Services to the mankind and guiding them on the path of righteousness.

I thank Srila Prabhupada because he has shown us the way to go back to godhead.
His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada has shown us how to go back to goloka
vrindavana. He has taught us that we are suffering from maya which we didn't know. We were in love
with maya, but by his mercy our relationship with Krishna has been revived. This relationship will solve
the problem of repeated births and deaths in this samsara.
Because of all this mercy shown by Srila Prabhupada I commit to do service on Sundays (if no work) and
on holidays to ISKCON.

I want to thank srila prabhupad
my guru srila prabhupada is the one who gives me the lesson to learn the real truth. before i associated
with iskcon, i never knew the real teaching of bhagwat gita, i always thought that the great books like
bhagwat gita, srimad bhagwatam are always for pandits or brahmans, but thanks to prabhupada, he
made us all understand that those great books are made for all those who really want to go back to
godhead. i thank him for giving me such a nice teaching how to become a real human. he is the one
who taught me humanity, and i also want to thank him for giving me a such an easy process to go back
to where i actually belong.thats is just to sing and dance wth the hari naam, i never thought just by
singing and dancing whith the hari naam we can be free of all the sinful activity. thank you my guru srila
prabhupada for the fortunes you brought into my life.

Srila Prabhupada I am very thankful for all the wonderful life U had given me for last 4 years in folk
hostel. Needless to say that these are the most memorable and productive days of my life. But due to my
continuous mistakes and uncontrolled desires again I am into a life where I am not able to chant also
properly. Mangala arati,Bhagavatam class,Chanting,Darshana arati and delicious prasadam all things I m
missing...!!!
VyasaPuja2011

Prabhupada, forgiving all my offenses, please give me mercy to chant regularly and also read your books
to continue my spiritual life. I am worried and fear that I wont be able to chant. Please guide me
personally prabhupada. Also I feel shameful for being proud when I was in folkniwas thinking that I m
there for 4 years which is a great achievement. I think this pride only made me fall like this..!!! I convey
my apologies to Lord and to you prabhupada. pls give me back the life of sadhana and peace which I
had..!!! I promise I will not repeat this mistake again in this life..!!!
Have a wonderful day,

your lotus feet always. Please help me to chant well and read your books. Please utilize me in

Dearmost His Divine Grace Srila Prabhupada,
Hare Krishna!
It is extremely difficult to gauge your mercy. Someone told me that even if one is not chanting, one has
chance of becoming a devotee again if he keeps himself in association of devotees. It is seven years since
I am outside ashram, but simply by reading your online books and conversations attract me and give me
the desire to become a surrendered temple devotee. Your words are no doubt an association of a pure
devotee coming directly from spiritual world.
So many devotees all over the world are practicing devotional service from their little homes. Please give
all of us the strength to combine and preach with lots of vigour.
You are my loving father who gives me association and directions in spite of my fall downs due to
illusion.. I am your little child who is looking forward for your merciful glance.
You are my saviour in Krishna consciousness. Please give me strength to chant the Hare Krishna maha-
mantra and strictly control my tongue to eat only Krishna prasadam.
Your servant,
Bhakta Aniruddha.

On this auspicious occasion of your 115
th
Sri Vysapuja celebrations, I would like to present the following
two poems glorifying your Divine Grace composed by my sister Ashwini R Upadhyaya, before her
VyasaPuja2011

journey to spiritual world. By your causeless mercy all her desires were fulfilled. All glories to you Srila
Prabhupada.
Song No.1
This is a joyous song
About a place where people throng.
Established by a man who is knowledgeable
A place which makes peace of mind double.
International Society for Krishna Consciousness is its name
All over the world it has its glory and fame.
Srila Prabhupada is that man, our dear Guru
What he preaches to his disciples is authoritatively true.
Chant the Hare Krishna Maha-Mantra is what he mainly says
To get out of material entanglement, this is the only solution these days.

Song No.2
ISKCON is a place where you learn to love Krishna
Through Sravana,Kirtana and Smarana.
In ISKCON you can enjoy through Kirtana and dance
There is so much ecstasy youll fall into a trance.
You can also have Prasada, it is not to be wasted
It is cooked so well, it has to be tasted.
ISKCON is a place for complete spiritual advancement
For the entire humanity it is meant.
-Your aspiring servant

On this auspicious appearance day of your Divine grace, I offer my gratitude and would like to thank
you from bottom of my heart for showing your causeless mercy upon this fallen soul. Whatever little I
know about Krishna conciousness, it is only because of your teachings and books. You have sown a seed
of devotional service in my heart and shown a right way to lead my life. I have experienced a positive
change in my life and will always be thankful to you.
Please bless me and always keep me under the shade of your lotus feet.

By your manifest qualities and actions you have established yourself for our benefit as spiritual master of
all. The message of parampara acaryas descending from Sri Krsna is essential for all living entities to
escape the bonds of mundane attitude and uncover their original consciousness of spirit. Your mission
and personal example is in no way confined by denomination or factional, dogmatic viewpoints. It is all-
inclusive and accommodating; simultaneously uncompromising in its rectitude and adherence to the
principles of devotional life. Your pastimes and instructions are full and complete, from pragmatic detail
to esoteric understanding of the most sublime truths in existence.

I was just like an ignorant child in the knowledge of Transcendence and my Gurudeva has kindled a
small fire within me to vanquish the darkness of mundane material knowledge.
Had he not appeared before us, we would not have been able to understand the eternal truth of the
sublime teachings of Lord Chaitanya.
Therefore let me with all my earnestness pray at the lotus feet of my divine master to allow me to suffer
the lot for which I am destined due to my past misdoings, but to let me have this power of recollection:
that I am nothing but a tiny servant of the Almighty Absolute Godhead, realized through the unflinching
VyasaPuja2011

mercy of my divine master. Let me therefore bow down at his lotus feet with all the humility at my
command.

To be frank enough, I was not knowing about Prabhupada, But after attending the SOS in ISKCON, I
came to know more about Prabhupada. Till 10th Class, I was only average student, but after attending
RASA Test, I came in contact with ISKCON, From that day onward I started to chant Maha Mantra .
now I am the distinction student , This is all because of ISKCON and Prabhupada all things have been
changed so thank you to ISKCON, Prabhupada and Sri Krishna.

I came to know about Prabhupada then I came to ISKCON to join FOLK hostel, Folk hostel is the mirror
image of Gurukul School. Srila Prabhupada arranged & maintaining in such a way that, there is no place
in materialistic world to get such type of accommodation.
We are so fortunate to have a great personality with us to lead our life with peaceful life, with the mercy
of Lord Chaitanya and with Krishnas mercy.
Srila Prabhupada explained the Vedic activities in a very simple and understandable way which can be
easily understandable to any kind of person.

This Krishna consciousness movement started by Srila Prabhupada changes any kind of frustrated
person into a peaceful life and help full to reach their desire in their life.
Finally I am very much happy to tell in this occasion that, I am thousands and billions times happy
than before after coming to Krishna conscious.

Prabhupada, you have given me the best out of the entire world. You have given me the name of
Lord Krishna which I found truly the reservoir of happiness. I wish my thirst for Lord Krishna should
never dry. You have shown me the path to lead a happy life. When I was in confusion, bewilderment,
distress, agony with very little hope on future, the flawless knowledge given by you had mad me see the
purpose of life. Leaving behind all my past I present myself unto your lotus feet with firm belief that you
for sure will guide me to Lord Krishna.
My endeavor for Lord Krishna is very small, insignificant compared to great devotees, but u filled
faith in me by giving Lords teachings as it is " Lord Krishna never forgets if a devotee makes even a
minor effort to reach him".

First I would like to ask forgiveness for all my sinful activities which I might have done knowingly or
unknowingly. Srila Prabhupada I dont have any qualification to show my face to you. Whatever you
have warned not to engage in; I am doing the same. Please forgive me & give me strength to minimize
my sinful activities, as I have more tendencies to find faults with others, please give me strength to
overcome this mentality. Before praying, I thought I would do what you have instructed me, but I
realised that it also requires your mercy. I thank you many times for the opportunities you gave me,
some of them are:
TEMPLE
CHANTING
ASSOCIATION
PRASADAM
KRISHNA
SERVICE.Etc
But Im so unfortunate that Im not able to take it seriously because of my lack of intense desire O
savior, please give me the desire to perform spiritual activities without deviating my mind towards maya.
I thank you for giving me Krishna directly; I thank you for the temple where I can practice more
practical devotional service, for the friends I meet in FOLK are really amazing and true well-wishers.
Recently I joined FOLK hostel also only by your mercy or else it is impossible to join folk hostel. Thank
you Prabhupada! Im always afraid that I might commit any offence, but I am still habituated to the
same. Im fully confused. I wanted to thank you for giving me this wonderful opportunity to serve lord
but Im asking you so many things. Oh saviour you gave me the diamond but I dont have any idea of its
value that & how to use that. Sorry Srila Prabhupada, for all my sinful acts, please give me strength and
whatever you want to give me to improve my sadhana at any cost. Sorry Prabhupada for speaking about
my distresses, instead of offering sweet words for what you have given to me.O spiritual master, You
gave the best.This Krishna Consciousness movement is my life. Please dont test me any longer, I fear
that Il fall down in those testing times. Please, Please, Please make me your true desciple. Thank you
Srila Prabhupada! Next time Ill be writing some more self-realized points which will make you happy, if
you bestow mercy upon me. Your mercy is already there but being a rascal is not utilizing it properly.
Please forgive me.

Srila Prabhupada,
I just read your Vyasa Puja Offering made at Sri Gaudiya Math in Bombay, in February 1935, on the
appearance anniversary of His Divine Grace Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Gosvami Prabhupada. Your
Divine Grace rendered the following passages during the course of your heartfelt offering.
The acaryadeva to whom we have assembled tonight to offer our humble homage is not the guru of a
sectarian institution or one out of many differing exponents of the truth. On the contrary, he is the
jagad-guru, or the guru of all of us, the only difference is that some obey him wholeheartedly, while
others do not obey him directly.
Gentlemen, our knowledge is so poor, our senses are so imperfect, and our sources are so limited that it
is not possible for us to have even the slightest knowledge of the absolute region without surrendering
ourselves at the lotus feet of Sri Vyasadeva or his bona fide representative. Every moment we are being
deceived by the knowledge of our direct perception. It is all the creation or concoction of the mind,
which is always deceiving, changing and flickering. We cannot know anything of the transcendental
region by our limited, perverted method of observation and experiment. But all of us can lend our eager
ears for the aural reception of the transcendental sound transmitted from that region to this, through the
unadulterated medium of sri gurudeva or Sri Vyasadeva. Therefore, gentlemen, we should surrender
ourselves today at the feet of the representative of Sri Vyasadeva for the elimination of all our differences
bred by our unsubmissive attitude.
The plain truth so vividly explained in the Gita, which is the central lesson of the Vedas, is to
understood or even suspected by the most powerful scholars of the empiric schools. Herein lies the
secret of Sri Vyasa Puja. When we meditate on the transcendental pastimes of the Absolute Godhead, we
are proud to feel that we are His eternal servitors, and we become jubilant and dance with joy. All glory
to my divine master, for it is he who has out of his unceasing flow of mercy stirred up within us such a
movement of eternal existence. Let us bow down at his lotus feet.
Gentlemen, had he not appeared before us to deliver us from the thralldom of this gross, worldly
delusion, surely we should have remained for lives and ages in the darkness of helpless captivity. Had he
not appeared before us, we would not have been able to understand the eternal truth of the sublime
teaching of Lord Caitanya.
My spiritual life though lacking in steadiness is always rescued from the danger of total oblivion by your
lion hearted words which have been preserved as lecture archives. Listening to your voice alone brings
forth the necessary fortitude to push on at my spiritual goals. I hope to never loose your association in
this life and forevermore. Though I have not contributed to your movement in any major way, I beg to
submit this offering and to remain a recipient of your mercy.
Your wonderful spiritual sons Sri Rasika Shekara Dasa and Sri Charu Krishna Das have kindly reminded
me of this wonderful opportunity to express my gratitude toward your Divine Grace.
hoping to be your servant,
Bhakta Aravind

Oh Srila Prabhupada, my Spiritual Master,
As every materialist, I came in touch with you looking for broken pieces of glass, but you have blessed
me with priceless gem, Krishna prema.
From my personal experience I have seen that even in India its so difficult to make just one person
Krishna conscious or to convince a non veggie to become veggie but you have done these miracles even
in foreign countries, that too at your advanced age. This itself shows that you are an ocean of mercy,
who came to this material world to extinguish this blazing fire.
Please be merciful unto this conditioned soul so that I can follow the regulative principles strictly and
chant 16 rounds.
Oh Prabhupada, help me to come out of all anarthas, help me to improve in all that I am lacking to
become pure servant of servant of the Lord. Help me to awaken the dormant Krishna consciousness in
the living entities.
VyasaPuja2011

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada, the sum total of all demigods.
Avinash Nadig.
Bhakta Avinash Srivastava.
Before coming into the shelter of Srila Prabhupada I was praying to all the Demigods and was regularly
praying the other Gods. With that also I was totally involved in other senseless material activity and was
in the mode of ignorance.
But in 2008 I came in touch with a devotee of Srila prabhupada. By this I got an knowledge to worship
Lord Sri krishna. Under the shelter of Srila Prabhupada I got a new and a realistic mode to pray the Lord.
And as days passed on I came to know more about the Bhagavatam and the teaching to Lords, the
desciplic succession etc.
So the Srila Prabhupada came in my life and changed my darkened life into a beautiful light of Lord
Srikrishna. Srila Prabhupada had also educated me in Guru tattva, he is really a true guru and real
devotee of Lord.
As a proverb in hindi
Guru Brahma, Guru Vishnu, Guru Devo Maheswraha
Guru Chatak ParBramha, Tashmaisri Guruve Namah.
Thus I really pray my sincere prayer to Srila Prabhupada.
Oh Guru, Oh Lord I am in your service, please take me into your shelter and accept my prayers.
Hare Krishna Hare Krishna,Krishna Krishna Hare Hare
Hare Rama Hare Rama,Rama Rama Hare Hare.
Jai srilaprabhupada
Jai srikrishna

Generally, great things are difficult to achieve. Take for example going to outer planets or the head of a
nation. It takes a lifetime of material effort. In comparison to this, getting Krishna is an achievement
unmatched by anything of the three worlds. However, Bhakti yoga a sure path to Krishna - is so simple
and uncomplicated that even a child who is sputtering the name Krishna is considered doing Bhakti
Yoga. You gave us the chance to dream of going to Goloka. Chanting, dancing and feasting is what you
asked every one of us to do. Though we are unfortunate enough to be born as lower than shudras you
gave us the Maha-mantra: Hare Krishna Hare Krishna KrishnaKrishna Hare HareHare Rama Hare Rama
RamaRama Hare Hare. By uttering these words we have been for sure saved from hell.
Your achievements are monumental, never-achieved-before in known history. When one considers all
this spiritual success in such a short span of time, in the backdrop of the knowledge that this is Kali-
Yuga, the achievement grows manifold. What once was known only to few select brahmanas, became
known to all of us. All because of you, all glories to You, the most munificent acharya to have appeared
on this planet before our ignorant eyes. You were ground-breaking in spreading Krishna Consciousness
all over the world: be it crossing the ocean or giving initiation to westerners or establishing Krishna
temples in each continent on the earth or conducting ratha-yatras all over world. What people call
achievements great invention, successful billionaire, great masterpiece of art arent really great.
Making devotees is the toughest thing to do. And you have not converted ordinary men but debauchees
like me.
VyasaPuja2011

O gurudeva, please offer me the strength to follow your instructions in all conditions, at all times. Help
me serve you to the best of my limited abilities. Grant me the boon to serve your servants life after life.
I dont know what plan you have for me and my future. Whatever it may be Im dead sure I will be safe
at your lotus feet than anywhere else in this universe. I pray for the strength to hold on to them in all
circumstances, at all places and all the time.
Trying to aspire to be a servant of your servants
Badrinath K
Bhakta Balaji
There was a time when I was in clutches of Maya completely
Although I knew that (i) my thoughts were wrong (ii)I was in Maya (iii) Kali was trying to pull me
down, I was helpless but just being a puppet and these were happening to me in my final year of
Engineering in Dubai. To overcome these difficulties I realized it is not my hands but its Krishnas mercy
through Guru Krupa that i can come out of this situation. As stated in Puranas and Shastras that there
are different Guru's (Eg: Adhyatmika Guru Etc.) who shapes a person in different stages of life, but the
ultimate Guru is the one who helps in liberation or knowing the absolute truth. This was the time when
I was in Complete Darkness. So as planned by Krishna for me to follow a Guru from Disciplic
succession, I faced many problems with my friends in our apartment. This made me visit the temple in
Dubai everyday and recite Vishnu SaharanamaStotram in the association of devotees.
Friday is the weekly off in dubai. So on this day all the ISKCON devotees assemble at a prayer hall for
Satsang (TulsiArthi, Kirtan, Bhagavatham& Bhagavad Gita Class etc.). Generally some of the devotees
after attending the Satsang come to the temple for reciting Vishnu SahasranamaStotram . As usual I went
to the temple that day too. Before reciting, an ISKCON devotee came to me & enquired about myself.
After some conversation, he told me :"Every Friday a Satsang happens where all the ISKCON devotees
gather, so please come and attend the Satsang next Friday". As soon as he said this I felt happy that a
Satsang is happenning in Dubai because for the previous three and half years I was searching for such
satsang and I couldn't find one. At that time I didn't know that this Satsang will change my life & put me
in the right path. So with some satisfaction I returned home after recitation.
The next friday the same devotee took me to the SATSANG. I was enthralled and amazed at kirtan and
dance. I had never seen a satsang of this kind where devotees dance with the tune of kirtan. After the
Kirtan was the Bhagavatham, Bhagavad Gita Class followed by chanting of Hare Krishna Mahamantra
108 times all in accordance and a small kirtan. By the end of the satsang they distributed Prasadam in
large packets for lunch. I felt very happy after attending the satsang. Till that date I had seen satsang
where either only kirtan was performed or only a class was taken with little prasadam. But this kind of
satsang was very interesting and never boring.
After attending satsang I was taken to a Senior devotee's(Parameshwar Gaur Das Prabhuji) Nivas(house)
who was one among few devotees in 1990's to establish ISKCON congregation in Dubai. Meeting him
was the greatest incident in my life which made me comfortable and relaxed after a long duration of
depression and miseries. Every evening he takes class at different places in Dubai. After attending his
Tamil Bhagavatham class, I returned to my miserable room. In next two days issues with my friends
reached its peak and I was in deep depression. At that time I called Prabhuji& told him about the
situation. He immediately asked me to leave my room & come to his Nivas. From that day for the period
of three months (till I finished my final semester) I stayed in his Nivas. The Nivas was very close to the
temple too.
At his Nivas he maintains deity of LadduGopal, and pictures of other forms of Krishna in a big altar
(This was my first time to see an altar at home of that size). So I got a very good opportunity to attend
daily arathis and have only Krishna Prasadam. I even got opportunity to perform arathi and offer bhoga.
I was also able to maintain fasting in Purushottam month at his Nivas.
VyasaPuja2011

All this was possible only Prabhupada'skrupa (Guru Krupa). It was Prabhupada who sent the Iskcon
devotee (while recitation) to take me out of such miserable conditions and attend Satsang. He has given
such a nice Satsang where there is a kirtan with dance, Bhagavatham& Bhagavad Gita class, & unlimited
prasadam to my satisfaction. When trouble reached its peak he is the one who helped me by giving such
golden opportunity to stay and have association with a senior devotee & progress in Krishna
Consciousness by maintaing fasts in Ekadasi and Purushottam month. Its because of this arrangement of
Prabhupada's that I completed my Engineering successfully, otherwise I would have failed to complete
the graduation on time.
During my stay at the Nivas he had given me many devotional services, like preparing bhoga, serving
prasadam to the devotees attending the satsang at his nivas, offering flowers to the Lord. He had given
me his books to read & progress more & more in Krishna Consciousness. The most important he had
given me is the association. Prabhupada is living in his disciples & in His books.
After completing my graduation, I went to Hyderabad to do a computer course for 2 months. Krishna
arranged my coaching institute near ISKCON Secunderabad Temple of Gopinath, Radharani, Baladev,
Subhadra&Jagannath. Every afternoon during the break,Prabhupada gave me the opportunity to make
garlands for all the dieties& pictures of the temple. This was the direct devotional service I had ever got.
I felt it was the blessings showered upon me and boon given to me by Prabhupada to do this service.
After the course completion Krishna arranged my posting of job at Bangalore where I got the association
of direct disciples of Prabhupada. He gave me the opportunity to stay in the FOLK Hostel where I could
easily progress in Krishna consciousness by doing Sadhana. It was my dream to wake up early in the
morning & perform pooja. He had given me that opportunity too (i.epooja service) within a week of
joining the hostel. He had given me many varieties of prasadam for breakfast,lunch, and dinner
especially Ekadasiprasadam. The prasadam was very tasty &hygenic which helped me maintain good
health(reduce weight) & do the Sadhana properly.
Prabhupada has provided me with "pass" in the temple, so that i can sit near to the dieties of
PrahladaNarasimhadev, SrininvasaGovinda, Radha Krishna Chandra and chant the Hare Krishna
Mahamantra while taking the darshan as long as I wanted. This is a rarest opportunity that one can get
because many devotees from outside get only a minute or more to have darshan as they all come in
queue.
Prabhupada has even given me the opportunity to stay in the temple overnight & attend MangalaArathi
in the morning. Also he has given me the association of temple devotees and brahmacharis who
sacrificed their career only for Krishna's mission. He arranged one temple devotee every week to come to
hostel to give a lecture and guide us the right way. Where as outsiders can avail this opportunity only
when they come to the temple. He had arranged many tours to keep members of Folk active,
energeticandrefreshed.
THE MOST IMPORTANT: HE HAS GIVEN ME THE HARE KRISHNA MAHAMANTRA
" Hare Krishna Hare Krishna KrishnaKrishna Hare Hare, Hare Rama Hare Rama RamaRama Hare Hare".

My Dearest SrilaPrabhupada,
Please accept this faithless dogs humble obeisances. Before 10 years my activities were rotten. By having
just the darshan of TirumalaGovinda, my tongue started to vibrate His name, Govinda, continuously. I
saw how that uttering of the holy name of the Lord, stopped all my material acts instantly. That holy
name made me to climb the holy hills of Tirumala every month without cessation for 8 complete years.
In the initial stages, once I started to climb 7 hills and chanting the holy name always, I was getting
instructions within the heart step by step and became almost immediately far from all my bad habits.
VyasaPuja2011

Later when I came in touch with your texts over the internet, I was attracted by them and same
instructions, which I was getting earlier from the Supersoul within the heart, were mentioned in your
glorious sentences. By the mercy of guru, one gets Krishna. But in my life, by the mercy of the Lord
Himself, I got you, the bona fide spiritual master, who doesnt have even a small black spot in the
glorious life history.
It may appear that by His mercy I got you. This may be the truth in this birth. But I have to admit that
there is a belief in me that definitely I have come to Krishna by discontinuation of devotional service in
my previous birth, which start I would have obtained from you only.
Now it is my only desire that before I die, I want to become a puppet in your hands and want to spread
Krishna consciousness massively and want to prove that I am your disciple SrilaPrabhupada. I have no
qualification for spreading His glories. But by your grace, one can achieve anything, as just we have
witnessed the outpouring skills of the devotees, when you were physically present. As you know, it has
been always my desire that from me alone, there must be a production of 2,00,000 sincere Vaishnavas.
Hence, please help me to achieve this goal somehow or other. And my one more strong desire is that
please restore the glories of ISKCON! Please remove all bad marks on The Only Shelter of the world
ISKCON, which has been established by you. As you say, ISKCON is the lifesaving oasis in a huge
desert. So please dont let oasis to dry up so quickly. Without your mercy, we cannot save it
SrilaPrabhupada. Please, please, please! From now itself, on this your appearance day itself, instantly
start restoring your glorious ISKCON SrilaPrabhupada! You are the savior of the whole world! Jay
SrilaPrabhupada!
Your trying-to-become servant,
Balaji. A.

I was born in darkness of ignorance; you opened my eyes by giving transcendental knowledge. I offer
my respectful obeisances unto your lotus feet, who are an ocean of auspicious qualities. Before I come in
touch with you I was searching for happiness in this material world by aspiring for things which do not
give any true happiness, but by your mercy, now I am able to understand that only way to get happiness
is by connecting to the source of happiness "Sri Krishna". You are like a touch-stone who has
transformed the hearts of millions of people, you are an ocean of mercy. I am unable to pay any price for
what you gave, I can only thank you. THANK YOU SRILA PRABHUPADA.

Oh devotee of the Lord, the purpose of the visual sense is fulfilled simply by seeing you, and to touch
your body is the fulfillment of bodily touch. The tongue is meant for glorifying your qualities because in
this world a pure devotee of the Lord is very difficult to find.
On this special occasion of SrilaPrabhupadas Appearance Day, I would like to submit this offering. May
the devotees bless me in my inadequate attempt to glorify our eternal spiritual master.
O Prabhupada! You have always been very merciful to me by giving me more and more opportunities to
be associated with your instructions from your books. Every day I approach you for instruction by
reading your books. Every day you show me how to accelerate my progress toward the supreme
destination, the lotus feet of Sri SriRadha and Krishna, by improving my chanting of the Holy Names
But sometimes I still get bewildered with so many material desires in my heart. I am not able to follow
some of your instructions very strictly. I am not able to attend mangalarti and other temple services
regularly. Kindly bless me so that I can stick on to your lotus feet and follow all your instructions under
the guidance of your devotees.
Your devotees in ISKCON, Bangalore temple are always very kind to me, exhibiting such wonderful
Vaihava behavior, that I felt that I had directly entered the spiritual world. Their worship of the
gorgeous deities of Sri Radha Krishna Chandra, the presiding deities, attracts the mind of even the most
hard-core materialist. I realized that this display of devotion was due to your gracious presence.
VyasaPuja2011

I am so unworthy but I am still getting your causeless mercy and love. And this is what makes me feel
that you are my only true saviour.Your compassion is like a great cloud above that nourishes the dried
out souls begging relief from this burning heat of material attachment.
O SrilaPrabhupada, our constant well-wisher, I would like to offer my infinite obeisances to you and
earnestly pray to Lord Krishna on this holy and auspicious appearance day to bestow upon me the
blessings, so that with the association of devotees, I can wholeheartedly follow the divine instructions of
your Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, without any hindrance.

this chance to pray to God. I am very happy about my life and family.
Never forget to attend the mangalaarti and chant HARE KRISHNA maha mantra and read prabhupads
books. You will find your destination in life.
The only one person who propagated our culture and sanatana dharma in Western world is our spiritual

Please accept my humble respectful obeisance unto your Lotus feet.
Hare Krishna Prabhupada, its first time in my life I am writing a letter to you, I dont even know how &
what to write. Prabhupada, I am just writing to you whats there in the core of my heart, I dont even
know if I am worthy of writing a letter to you, please forgive me if I am wrong, I am so thankful of you
for showering your blessings upon me. You are the one who has showed me the way to serve Krishna,
Prabhupada your regulative principles have avoided me from getting into the clutches of maya.
Prabhupada, reading your books has given me the true acquaintance of life. Prabhupada I dont know
where I would have landed if it wasnt ISKCON your shrine, I am so delighted that I have come to the
true institution, Prabhupada you are the only truly divine spiritual master, If it wasnt you I would
VyasaPuja2011

certainly not have known that Supreme Personality of Godhead is Krishna, I correspondingly would
have got muddled in entangling myself in the cycle of birth and death. Prabhupada, you are the one and
only who has educated about the spiritual life. Prabhupada I feel your presence in your written
scriptures and at your temple on HARE KRISHNA HILL, I was so blissful when I had first time read the
name as SRILA PRABHUPADAS ISKCON BANGALORE I was so amazed cheerful and happy I didnt
know how to celebrate, I was in so much ecstasy I dont know what to then!!! Prabhupada I dont know
what I am speaking please forgive me, I have never spoken to you ever in my life so only I dont know
what is happening to me !!! Prabhupada you are my Spiritual Master. Prabhupada, after every festival
when we perform sankritan in front of you in the main temple hall I have felt your being there,
Prabhupada I was so immoral earlier. You were the main reason I am still blooming in Krishna
consciousness, Prabhupada by your mercy I am still breathing the germ-free air of divine life, it is you
and Krishna that matters me more in my spiritual life, you have taught me how be myself, Prabhupada
you are the only source light in the shadiest darkest caves of Maya. Prabhupada who gave me the true
brains of praying to the absolute truth Krishna the supreme personality of godhead, before coming to
know about the truth I was jumbled between the demigods, you made me serve the truth I am so glad
that you are my spiritual master who is there for me :( Prabhupada I hate those people who have gone in
contradiction of you and your conclusions, I know that they are in the hands of Maya, but they should
be taken to task. I know I am no one to tell or decide I know Krishna will take care of them!!! But I feel
bad how they can do something so bad to the person who has lifted them from the ditch, from the
foulest deepest chunk of the world, only by your grace one can advance in Krishna consciousness; there
is no distress or fear for a devotee who has you and your blessings, the voyage to Krishna is so puzzling
tricky straining but Prabhupada you have made it simple for us, you have given us the most fascinating
explanations for our questions on Krishna and Spirituality, Prabhupada you are my motivation for the
faith I have in Krishna. Prabhupada when I hear to your lectures your voice has such a deep impressive
impact on me. Prabhupada I wish you were tangibly present I would have clicked so many pictures of
you! Prabhupada when I hear to Kirtans sung by you especially Jay RadhaMadhava I have tears in my
eyes, I dont know where you deliver to me! Prabhupada if you would have never come into my life I
would have never known about Krishna the supreme personality of godhead, Prabhupada thank you so
much for making me a small tiny part of your mission. Prabhupada please give me enough strength
power to protect your temples, Prabhupada please never leave my hand in this journey. I need you most
to grow in Krishna consciousness. Prabhupada I dont know what I have written please forgive me if I
am wrong, thank you so much for reading this letter ofyourservant.
Thankingyou,
Your lifetime servant,

Yes indeed you are the person who has started enlightening my life. I was in such darkness that I did
not know what this life is meant for. You are the one who held my hand and are still holding me, so that
I will realize what I should actually.
O GURU DEVA! O MY DEAR SPIRITUAL MASTER! I pay obeisances to you for taking care of me and
for bringing me out of the clutches of MAYA.You have made this life colourful and JOYFUL by bringing
us to the platform of KRISHNA CONSCIOUSNESS.

Throughout my life I have received many gifts from various persons, but, O my spiritual master, your
gift is the one which made me realize that all other gifts are transient and material. It is only through
your gift and mercy that at least I can feel the possibility of reaching the true goal of my life, KRISHNA!

Krishna consciousness movement through my sister, although i was opposing it being misled by a
mundane so called teacher in our school.I slowly started chanting with the guidance of your
disciple.Thank You Prabhupada for showing Your causeless mercy upon such a fallen most offending
soul. Please forgive me for the offences that i have committed at Your lotus feet O Prabhupada,
and please give me Your directional energy for reducing my offences. Please do not reject me O
Prabhupada for my offences, for i don't have any shelter other than You. You are my only spiritual
master birth after birth.

Please accept my humble and respectful obeisances unto Your lotus feet on the auspicious appearance
day of Your Divine Grace.
I was interested in spirituality. But I didnt know the process of how I can progress in spiritual life and
achieve perfection. I was always searching for a spiritualist who will guide me and lead me to achieve
that perfection.
But by Your and Lord Krishnas mercy, I got an opportunity to associate with You and Your disciples.
First day when I meet with one of Your disciple I was fully convinced that now I got a spiritualist who
will lead me in spiritual life. Thanks a lot Prabhupada, for providing this great movement to save
helpless conditioned soul like me. Please help me to chant Hare Krishna Maha mantra offenselessly and
follow the four regulative principles very strictly.
VyasaPuja2011

Please give me strength and maturity to understand Your divine instructions and adopt them in my day-
to-day life very strictly and to preach this knowledge to others very confidently.
I am begging You to please help me, guide me, lead me and allow me to serve Your mission full time
without any material desire.
Thank you Prabhupada, You showed me the right path in my life.

Dear A.C BhaktvedantaswamySrilPrabhupada, You are our spiritual Master. I have no wards to tell about
you, but as a disciple of you it is my duty to offer my gratitude towards you in this occasion.
SrilPrabhupada I was in ignorance before come into touch with you, you gave me knowledge of absolute
truth. Earlier I knew that GOD is great but I didnt know How the GOD is great? By you I come to
know that how the GOD or Lord Krishna is great. We ware all going in dark way you show us the torch
of knowledge shows us the way.
SrilPrabhupad I was living like cats & dogs eating ,sleeping mating and defending, you thought us that
this human form of life is not meant for this and we have make us of it by enquiring who am I? Who is
GOD or Krishna? And what is the relationship between Krishna and I?
SrilPrabhupad please bless me so that I can follow four regulative principals and to chant 16 rounds of
Hare Krishna Maha Mantra without committing offence.
Thanking you

Please accept my obeisences unto Your Lotus Feet. When I set out to start writing this offering to You, I
did not know what to write. Simply because, the blessings that I have received from You cannot be put
in words. Yet, there is only one request that I would make to You. There are a lot of things going wrong
in ISKCON as we see it today. It hurts to know that ISKCON, as it is today, is definitely not in the shape
You wanted to see it in. I also know that there are reforms happening within ISKCON to revive the
movement. My only request to You is that, if You deem me fit, kindly get me involved in the movement
that is aimed at giving You the right position in ISKCON..
All Glories to SrilaPrabhupada

On this auspicious day I would like to thank you for all that you have given me and to this world.
First of all I am very thankful to you for giving me one more chance to write something for you,
otherwise I stand nowhere to write a single alphabet. I learnt from the temple devotees that its our duty
to write something for our beloved Spiritual Master, because thats all we are capable to do. You have
showered your mercy on us, that is the biggest thing for us and we cannot repay for this but only we can
do is follow your instructions. To follow your instructions also we need your help, without you we are
like street dogs without any master.
I am lacking in Spiritual strength, Please give me intelligence and strength so that I can follow your
instructions sincerely without any deviation.
I should always have faith on you, which should never ever go off.
My dear Spiritual master, always keep me in your service.
Actually I was supposed to glorify you, but dont know how to do that as I am insignificant to do that.
But instead I asked you so many things, to give me this, to give me that.. Sorry prabhupada to bother you
so much, but what to do, without your mercy we cannot even move an inch in Spiritual path.
Please forgive me if I have committed any mistakes knowingly or unknowingly. At last I would like to
ask the strength from you so that I can chant 16 rounds sincerely and follow your instruction properly.
Thank you,
Your Menial Servant,

Hare Krishna,
Dear Jagad Guru SrilaPrabhupada,
I really feel blessed to get in contact with you. Without your valuable association I could imagine how
awful and wasteful my life would have been. I don't say that I wouldn't come across difficulties, I don't
lie that I am happy all the time and I can't say I am perfect. I only know that you would save me in
whatever situation I am and whatever happens in my life only makes me more conscious about Lord
Krishna.
I believe that I would always Cherish this Kirshna conscious Change in this Life and the Life to come.
I am a fool, I may do any mistake. But my humble request to you is don't ever leave me.
Your Servant,

This is the first time I am writing a letter to you. I used to write letters to God telling him about my life
every year. But I never realized what God is, where he is, which form does he in. But since last two years,
when I have joined ISKCON, the life has entirely changed.
VyasaPuja2011

I am trying to follow the four regulative principles, which you mentioned and also do devotional service.
I do agree that as compared to previous days, now the devotional service is decreased but I promise to
you that me and my entire family will continue and increase our devotional service.
I truly and wholeheartedly want to thank you for all these beautiful things that you have given us. I am
truly happy today. There are many many problems in life but still I am happy because Krishna is with
me today. I dont have the words to thank you for whatever you have given to the human life in this
world.
I truly want to say that now it is our responsibility to keep your mission going and also to increase it. I
will surely adjust my timings so that I get some time for devotional service to Krishna, if not everyday,
atleast twice in a week. You have really blessed us that we both (me and my wife) are part of FOLK and
Krishna Ashraya.
The only thing that I want to tell you in homage is that we both truly love you from the depth of our
hearts. We will be always thankful to you throughout our lives for this immensely great gift of love for
God.
I do promise at this moment that I will strive my best to help ISKCON in each and every movement. I
just pray at your lotus feet that you bless us that our chanting gets upregulated. I just want to reach the
level of chanting sixteen rounds of Mahamantra every day and reach the stage to accept the Diksha from
you.
You are only our spiritual master and no body else and we will always try to be true and faithful in this
life to our best. May Lord Krishna shower his blessings to everyone in this world.
Sincere thanks
Yours
Dhiraj Bhatia and Radhika Bhatia.

Oh! My dear Prabhupada..
On the pages of my life, I have done all kind of sinful acts. But your divine instructions literally turned
me into real human. I cant say just a word thanks for it, life after life I am indebted. What is the purpose
of life? is the most frequent question I used to ask my father /mother/elders. No one gave me a bit of
what you spoke. The concepts of sunyavadam and mayavadam were overflowing on my mind before I
touched your spirit. When I started coming to Folk classes, peace took birth in my heart. You gave me
the strength and courage to face the world. You gave me the freedom from anxiety, and you showed the
path of truth. All my questions were answered only by you and all my doubts were clarified by you. You
are the real Guru. I dont think we will be able to come to your abode just by our endeavour; we are
absolutely dependent on your causeless mercy. I need your protection Prabhupada, please help me!
Your Servant, Ganeshan

O Prabhupada, before starting I humbly pay my respectful obeisance to You for giving us this Harinama
to deliver us from this kaliyuga full of danger.
O karuna-sindhu ! From bottom of my heart I beg Your mercy to give me strength to practice this
chanting of Harinama throughout my life.
O Master ! Be merciful unto me and give me strength to render as much service as possible for You.
O Friend of the poor although I am a beginner but somehow by Your mercy I am on this supreme path
of perfection, so please give me that patience, strength and tolerance required to remain on this path and
also help me to keep the all powerful maya to keep away from me as much as possible.
O the lord and master of the devotees truly speaking my mind is full of lusty things of this material
world which makes me the most fallen soul of this world, therefore, kindly cleansed my deeply polluted
mind by words emanating from Your lotus mouth.
O prabhu koro doya and give me the shade of Your lotus feet so that I can remain in your protection and
kindly accept me as your disciple even in vaikuntha if in this lifetime somehow by your mercy I am able
to reach there.
Finally I am very thankful to you to make me get rid of some anarthas that I was habitual of in my past like
using abusive words, drinking tea etc, still millions of anarthas are within me but if Your blessings and mercy
will be there I will give them up also in the near future (*conditions apply- maya should not attack
me).Finally I would like to end my offering by bowing to Your lotus feet with great awe and reverence.

Hare Krishna,
This wonderful knowledge of Krishna Consciousness was introduced to me 4 years back by a devotee
friend who gave me one of Srila Prabhupada's book 'Laws Of Nature'.
I was into yoga and had a great interest in knowing what is the ultimate goal,what is life,why do we
suffer,what is there after death and various other things and was very inclined in these topics.I used to
read many books about yoga and philosophy,but never really had a feeling that what was told is relevant
for spiritual growth.But when I came across Srila Prabhupada's books it opened my eyes.It was a moment
I will never forget in my life because I got all the answers I was looking for in my life.Srila Prabhupad's
way of explaining things was very apt for this age where people have no clue about spiritual life and are
not inclined towards it.This interested me in knowing more about this science and got a chance to read
The Bhagavad Gita As It Is written by His Grace Srila Prabhupada.Ever since I have read this wonderful
book my life has a new meaning,and that was given to me by the mercy of Srila
Prabhupada.Prabhupada's divine words,vani, has transformed many a minds and has changed mine too.I
am indebted to Srila Prabhupada for every step in my life , since the knowledge his Grace has given has
not only helped me understand the meaning of life and purpose of it,but has also given me a practical
answer to follow it in my daily life.His Grace never told Spiritual life is a dull life with no activities where
we need to go away from people and meditate in the forest,but has integrated it in our daily lives where
even a neophyte like me can follow his directions while performing my daily material work,but now
with realizations we get to know how to submit it to Krishna and make it Spiritual.I am so fortunate that
by Srila Prabhupad's mercy I am getting a chance to associate with Devotees and am able to have
Darshan of Radha Krishna Chandra and Nitya Gauranga,which is so rare.Srila Prabhupada's every mercy
on me has created such great impact in my life that I fell so grateful every moment,and I pray to his
Grace that I keep getting his mercy so that I can advance Spiritually and hold on to his Lotus Feet and
get out of this Miserable material world,where His Grace says its not a place for Gentlemen to stay.
VyasaPuja2011

In Conclusion Srilpa Prabhupada is such a divine person to have appeared in our life time and spread
his sublime message of Krishna Consciousness,that we need to follow him and his words and words only
for our progress.I beg for your mercy Srila Prabhupada,Please guide for in every step of my life.I may fall
now and then but Please guide me through and take me back to you.
Jai Srila Prabhupada.Hare Krishna.

I mean Srila Prabhupada as my spiritual master. Why I mean Srila Prabhupada as my spiritual master,
some of the reasons are given below.
Before coming to ISKCON or have touch with ISKCON I only heard the name of Srila Prabhupada . I
was not Knowing Srila Prabhupada much.
Now I know (not fully) who Srila Prabhupada is. I know now how the great person he is.
After coming to my life, Srila Prabhupada has changed my life in a very good spiritual platform. Previous
I was not knowing even Lord Krsna is a supreme personality. No God is there beyond Lord
Krsna.Because of Srila Prabhupadas instruction I have left meat eating, which I never even thought in
my life that I can ever will leave my habit of meat eating which I developed since my birth. Not only
meat eating I do not even eat fish, egg too. Even if I eat cakes and chocolates also, I cheek the
ingrediants. These great changes have been made in my life only because of Srila Prabhupada.After
following of Prabhupadas instruction, I felt my life have become quite smoother than earlier.I feel
myself that, I am really merciful and fortunate so that now I am in spiritual platform which Srila
Prabbhupada has shown meSo I am offering my heartly obeisance to srila Prabhupada for the occation of
Vyasa Puja.

able to understand who Lord Krishna is and come in touch with the absolute knowledge, truth and goal
of life. Thank you Prabhupada for giving me a chance to come in touch with your glorious mission and
please help me follow your instructions

I always thought what was my aim in life, why I had to work so hard to live, why I could not remain
happy always. All these questions were always there but due to fear of people and parents these never
came out. I heve been visiting the temple since childhood and many times tried to follow the process but
due to lack of knowledge I never completely followed it.But that secret of success class changed my life.

All your teachings put before me without any alteration impressed me till the bottom of the heart. Your

Please accept my humble obeisance unto your lotus feet. Its only by your causeless mercy that I was able
to come to this Hare Krishna movement where you are the Sole Diksha Guru. I came in touch with
ISKCON Bangalore in 2005 when I first came to Bangalore when I got a job here. When I initially came
in touch with the devotees of ISKCON Bangalore and started reading your books I felt that why I am
getting this knowledge so late in my life, as I was born and brought up in Mumbai and I had also visited
ISKCON Mumbai a couple of times but never I was attracted to the philosophy. I always had a feeling
why so late but in the later stages when I was aware of the Guru Issue I was very happy that you guided
me to come to Bangalore and associate with the devotees here, where you are the centre of worship and
not some bogus guru. This shows causeless your mercy on me. You have truly dispelled the darkness of
ignorance with the knowledge through your books, lectures. You have given a new dimension to life and
to see life in a completely different perspective. Please have your causeless mercy and guidance so that I
can be a humble servant in your mission to spread the holy names of Krishna.

Dear Prabhupada,
Please accept my humble obiesances.
Thank You for desending on earth to help us to understand the real goal of life. Even though the
spiritual knowledge was around for ages, it had remained arcana(rituals) to most of the people and no
one had tried to expound in the way You did. If at all I have progressed in spiritual path, its mainly
because of Your writings. Your writing seems to be specially written for people of this age. My heartfelt
thanks for providing us with such wonderful books like Srimad Bhagavatam and Bhagavad Gita. Thank
You very much for inspiring us through Yyour books and help us to remain outside the clutches of
maya. You remain one of the most successful man on earth in real terms who actually worked towards
saving human life. Your biography and letters shows how You single-handedly worked on the cause of
spreading KC. Its incredible to learn that You at such an advanced age went to US on a noble mission
and tasted success. You are none other than a prophet who just descended on this planet to save millions
of lives. You treated our cataract and helped us to see this material world the way it is actually present.
We would have been no better than animals if You had not shown mercy on us through your divine
knowledge. Prabhupada, all praises comes short when we speak about You. Prabhupad, please accept
this humble offering.

ALL GLORIES TO SRILA PRABHUPADA
Hare Krishna
Since the spiritual master is the most confidential servant of god, therefore by honouring the spiritual
master, the supreme personality of godhead is honoured. So I feel extremely fortunate to give my
offering to Prabhupada, on the occasion of vyasa puja.
This material world is full of darkness & ignorance but Krishna consciousness is transcendental to this
material world. In Krishna consciousness there is no darkness, only light. I thank Prabhupada who
showed me the light in Kali Yuga & removing my ignorance.
One should always remember that a person who is reluctant to accept a spiritual master & to be initiated
is sure to be baffled in his endeavour to go back to godhead. So, I thank our spiritual master for showing
us the path which will take us back to home, back to godhead.
Due to our association with matter from time immemorial our consciousness is polluted. Its only by the
process of chanting the holy name we can purify our consciousness & get freed from these material
miseries. I thank Srila Prabhupada for the HARE KRISHNA Maha Mantra.
O Srila Prabhupada I offer my respectful obeisance onto your lotus feet!! Hare Krishna.

An Ode to my Spiritual Master
I thought I was sailing fine
The rough waters were meant to be,
I assumed I am so very safe
tiding the waves with expert glee.

The struggle of life I resigned to
Was eager to play the mortal game,
Oh so dark the path ahead was
till my beloved master you came.

With wisdom lit
In the lamp of knowled
You showed me the peril in
the path I had chose to trudge.

With the highest truth
You beat my foolish mind
Oh thank you Prabhupada
the most merciful and kind.

SrilaPrabhupada, Gurudeva, thank you so very much for coming into our dark existence like the blazing

I visited ISKCON temple many times, however I was not aware of my real Self or about the reality of
GOD.
It was by the mercy of Guru Srila Prabhupada, one day I got the free pass through my brother which
was freely distributed by ISKCON devotee on MG Road from where my brother returned to home.
As tow people an attend the session , I attended it then got to know about Srila Prabhupada & the
ISKCON & Real mission of ISKCON.
Then it is by the knowledge of that Srila Prabhupada that he has shared in his books , made me know
about the real identity of GOD & me & my relation with him. I purchased one book in the beginning
& after that I became so much attracted to his books , knowledge the wisdom what he has & it mase my
life to see the light from Darkness where I was living.
Now not only me but I have purchased so many books of Srila Prabhupada & I purchased it in Kannada
language & game it to my mother also , So now by mercy of Srila Prabhupada , my mother & grand
mother also reading it.
I feel really so great now that by Srila Prabhupada me & my family is getting so much ofbenefits as this
is the real knowledge which every human has to know & follow .
I am really thankful Guru Srila Prabhupada.

We are sure to attain GOLOKA, with your association.

makes me more and more sincere to you and how seriously we should be engaged in the service of your
divine grace and Krishna. But I request you to kindly end this fight soon, so that we can do service
peacefully.
Even though I have fallen many times and because of your causeless mercy, I was able to come out of
the anarthas in me. I humbly request you to keep me under your shelter and guide me doing Krishnas
service with good intelligence and spirit.
Your disciple and servant,

This is one of the auspicious day for me to share and offer you something which is very small to you but
something very big for me. I'm in connection with you for more than 10 years now and i feel satisfied
spiritually but i used to feel that i'm serving you less. With the busy schedule's like mine its actually
impossible for me to come to temple everyday and serve your lotus feet by distributing your books and
so on. That is the time when i realized that i can do something which makes people understands the
reality of ISKCON, so that they come back to you. I started a small blog named ISKCON TRUTH on
December 6th, 2010 with some quality goals like to reach at-least Ten Thousand people per year. By
your mercy, i have reached Twenty Thousand people in just six months and on the top of this, my blog
as been ranked under the best blog list too. Today, ISKCON TRUTH is connected with more that 150
devotees all around the world giving clear cut information about the rascal Gurus who are destroying
your name and ISKCON TRUTH has realized 540+ people about the issues and they have come back to
you. My dear Prabhupad, I get lot of threatening mails, messages from different part of the world but I'm
not afraid to stand strong because you realized me that Narasimha lives in my heart. Today, I offer you
this small blog ISKCON TRUTH to your lotus feet. I will continue to realize people and stand with the
word truth just to take all people out of false guru worship. From then, you give them true knowledge
from your books.
Requesting you to help me in this venture of Truth to reach more and more people, to pull them back to
you.
I beg to remain under the shelter of your lotus feet.
Your most fallen Servant,
JAYANTH DEV. B. K

Please accept my humble obeisances. Hare Krishna!
I am a sinner who hopes to be saved by surrendering to the Lordships RadhaKrishna utilizing your
teachings. Surrender to the Lord begins with surrender to a bonafide guru.
Please keep me by your mercy and forgive me for all my offences. Please save my parents and family.
I am fallen and not qualified. Please wash my heart of all the dirt.

Please utilize me to serve Their Lordships Radha-Krishna.
Thanking you for everything.

hi, i am jeevith studying in class 8 vps. i wish A.C.BHAKTIVEDANTA SWAMI PRABHUPADA sir for his
115 birthday. i really would like to thank him for starting isckon. teachers from isckon come to our
school and teach us moral values which is really helping me in my day-day studies and life.

His divine grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, our beloved spiritual master, was the pure
devotee of Lord Sri Krishna. Before coming in contact with Prabhupad;s ISKCON, I didnt know that
Lord Sri Krishna is the Supreme Personality of Godhead whom all living entities should worship.
Through his teachings, I am now able to render some little service unto his lotus feet by your mercy, for
which I am very grateful to you, Prabhupad.
I am also very grateful to Lord Sri Krishna that he had sent his representative in you, to revive the fallen
conditioned souls like me and many others in kali-yuga and spread the message of loving devotional
service to godhead.
I was searching for permanent happiness in this material world, which is not possible because Lord Sri
Krishna tells in Bhagavad Gita that this world is full of miseries. Srila Prabhupad gave us the teachings of
Lord Chaithanya Mahaprabhu , to get rid of this cycle of birth and death, and reach to the highest
platform of bhakti by chanting the HARE KRISHNA MAHA-MANTRA. It made my life very happy and
now if I dont chant a single day, I would feel exhausted and uncomfortable. I was engaged in sinful
activities such as meat-eating, but you saved me from following all these sins.
I consider myself to be fortunate enough to be associated with your mission to propagate the holy name
of the Lord. Please help me so that I can follow all the rules and regulations prescribed by you and Lord
Sri Krishna.
All glories to Sri Guru and Gauranga |
All glories to Srila Prabhupad |

All the glories to the spiritual master.
When i was young i fond of hearing the legendry ramayan & mahabaratha . I still remember when i was
studing in primary school i came across a beautiful photo under the caption of reformers of hindu
relegion his name was"CHAITANYA". Then when i was studing secondary education I saw the deity of
an old man carried in palanquine by the shaven headed mens with saffron robes on the road i
wondered,Then i came to know that its non other than " PRABHUPADA" .
But after my graduation i came across a friend of mine who is a regular visitor to the temple. Attended
the Yoga retret then i became the Friend of Lord KRISHNA.
Ofter getting a job i joined the hostel i really felt like " Home away from home".
Thanks for the delecious prasadam.
Thanks for the melodius kirtan.
Thanks for the synchronised dance.
Thanks for influencing our consciousness.
I can not imagine the life with out this movement.
Jai prabhupad
Always in your service

Hare Krishna Srila Prabhupada,
Whenever we were searching after friendship, you came forward saying that your disciples are your
children,
Whenever we were searching after happiness, you practically showed us how to become happy,
VyasaPuja2011

Whenever we were in distress, you showed us Krishnas instructions in Bhagavad Gita,
Whenever we were happy, you showed how to dovetail in Krishnas service and double it,
Whenever we felt frustrated, you taught us how to get relieved of it by rendering service unto the
Supreme Lord,
Whenever we were in utter darkness, you showed us the light through Srimad Bhagavatam,
Whenever we searched after help, you very dearly extended your hands for us,
What else we need Prabhupad!!
This soul who is ditched in utter darkness was saved by the most merciful devotee of the Lord!!
I could feel the change now after 2.5 years of Krishna Consciousness life. You showed us the way of
how to remember Krishna at all times. Even though we are not able to remember Krishna at all times at
his particular time, you taught us how to utilize the time which we get by reading your books, by
chanting His Holy Names, by rendering unlimited service to the Supreme Lord, etc.
Even though Goloka Vrindavan is far far away from this material world, by your mercy you showed us
that Goloka Vrindavan will be like this by building temples where only Sankirtan will be held and the
Supreme Lord Krishna will be glorified everywhere.
Whenever I hear about you, I am really astonished as to how you spent your later part of life by sleeping
just 1.5 hours for the welfare of the people. This is far beyond my perception that only Vaishnavas could
do this.
I am sure that I could not pay you for the knowledge which you have given, but surely following the
rules and regulations proposed by you very diligently will please you. Please give me strength to always
practice Krishna Consciousness diligently which gives me happiness and to serve you and your disciples
and the most dearful Supreme Lord wherever I go.
You are the real savior of all people!!
Your Servant,
Karthik.

I was born in the darkest ignorance and my spiritual master opened my eyes with torch of knowledge. I
offer my respectful obeisance unto him.
Oh, my spiritual master whatever bhakthi I am practicing, its only by your grace. Now I have improved
my chanting as compared to last year, even sadhana also, oh my spiritual master, please give me enough
intelligence to always remember your lotus feet, and teachings that are emanating from your lotus
mouth. When the time will come, when I will guard your home like a dog! Please make me also an
instrument to propagate your movement. Thank you prabhupada for giving me a favorable result in
fourth semester, please help me to offer all my material knowledge to you. Thank you prabhupada for
making me chant Hare Krishna and read Vedic literatures. Its only by your grace that I am in a good
position now. Thank you Prabhupada.
All glories to you Prabhupada, All glories to you!
Yours unworthly soul

Srila Prabhupada,
Please accept my dandavat pranams a million times.
About a day back I was reading Bhagavad-Gita As it isI was in the 10
th
chapter, text no.25.
Therein the Supreme Lord says Of the great sages I am BHRAGU. After reading this chapter I
went to sleep. Next day when I got up, this chapter and this text, kept on lingering in my mind. I
thought in todays time the Lord would have said Of the great sages in Kaliyuga I am Prabhupada. Oh,
I said this is sacrilege! How can I think like that? My mind was in utter confusion and turmoil. I decided
not to think of this at least for a day. Then, with tears in my eyes, I thought,Yes that, in this age of Kali,
Lord Krishna would have said that PRABHUPADA is indeed a sage who has come down on this earth to
deliver the fallen souls.
The achievements of Srila Prabhupada in this century are unparalleled.
Otherwise who else could achieve the feats of having 108 temples and institutions, all over the world,
writing spiritual books like Bhagavad-Gita and volumes of Bhagavatam and many other spiritual books,
which are considered very authentic by great spiritual scholars all over the world? Some of these books
are prescribed as spiritual course in many of the universities. He also had a huge following of devotees
from across the world.
VyasaPuja2011

ALL THIS WAS ACHIEVED BY HIM IN JUST ABOUT A SPAN OF TEN TEARS OF HIS LIFE TIME.
Gurudev, I am the most fallen soul on this earth, having ocean of Anarthas. I also know that I have a
long, long way to go to become a complete Krishna Conscious person. However, with your blessings, I
know that over a period of time/births, I may be able to become a devotee, wherein I can accept the dust
of your Lotus Feet. You are KARUNA SAGAR {ocean of mercy} and your love for your devotees is
unfathomable. To this fallen soul with all his anarthas, please give him a chance to serve you and
through your mercy to KRISHNA.
Srila Prabhupada you are very much aware, as to what is happening to the GREAT INSTITUTION
ISKCON, which you single handedly built into a world renowned Spiritual Edifice. Gurudev, the
management of ISKCON Bangalore and its congregational devotees and other likeminded devotees from
other places are strictly following the instructions which you have passed on through your letters and
writings. We firmly believe that you have not appointed any devotee as your successor, leave alone 50 to
60 gurus. Srila Prabhupada, please bestow your blessings and through you KRISHNAs belessings, that
we at ISKCON Bangalore continue to do unhindered services to Krishna without any anxiety. Let not the
external forces which have completely deviated from the path shown by you hinder us and that we
continue to follow your instructions in letter and spirit. We very fervently believe that your position as
Diksha Guru can not be questioned by any one.
The most fallen soul, Kaushik Thakore

Hare Krishna,
Please accept my humble obeisance at your lotus feet.Its been one year or little bit more since I have
been in Krishna consciousness, thanks to lord, gurudeva and the devotees, whose constant association
has really changed my whole perspective about life. I can still remember my life-style before coming into
Krishna consciousness and after joining this great movement,Krishna Consciousness. The first time I
chanted the maha-mantra Hare Krishna Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna Hare Hare, Hare Rama Hare
Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare , It took 20 min for me to complete one round of chanting and I continued
with one round of chanting every day for many days, and today after about one year I am able to chant
16 rounds by the mercy of lord and gurudeva. Otherwise, who am I and how can i chant the holy name?
It is your mercy that they have given me a chance and opportunity and the energy, strength to my
tongue that I can chant the holy name, otherwise my tongue has no energy or strength to take the holy
name. It is your mercy that after all the abominal karmas I did so many years and who knows from how
many janmas I have been involved and still given the chance to chant the holy name.
Before coming to Krishna consciousness I was very fond of non-vegetarian food, I was habituated to tea,
coffee etc, but now I have left everything and dont even feel any problem. The anxiety level has come
down very much. There is lot to tell, but all in all, now I can see the life with a purpose. And the purpose
of life is to surrender unto lord; I will be blessed if I could learn the art of surrender.

I offer my respectful obeisances unto all the Vaiava devotees of the Lord. They are just like desire trees
who can fulfill the desires of everyone. They are oceans of mercy and are the purifiers of the fallen souls.
I offer my humble obeisances to the disciplic succession of Supreme Lord Sri Krishna, Sri Sri Radha
Krishna , Sri Srinivas Govinda and Prahlad Narasimha begging all the lord ships for their mercy up on
me.
Krishna who is the pleasure of devotees, as I am so small to please Krishna so I am offering humble
obeisances and prayers unto Srila Prabhupada, who is the incarnation of the lord Krishna. I am very
happy to write the Vyasa puja offerings which will please the Guru. As there are many days in a Year
where Vyasa Puja Day is very auspicious for a disciple which comes once in a year. Where we can Share
our feelings towards Prabhupada who is our Spiritual Master will be pleased so much.
Srila Prabhupada please bless me as I am not so strong in Krishna consciousness. Guide me through
your personal association through books. I do not know other than the pranama mantras till now. Please
make me strong in Krishna consciousness so I can render more service to you.
As the days are passings still becoming weaker kindly help me in increasing the spiritual strength. Make
me attentive while chanting the Holy names of the Lord, which are non different from krishna. And
please kindly help me to decrease of making offences towards my authorities and everyone in the
society. Help me in associating with devotees to know about you and Krishna.
As you say ISKCON is a Hospital for the fallen conditional Souls, So always maya is attacking away from
Krishna. Please help to become perfect in the Vedic literature. Out of all the nine Ways of rendering
service please help me to become perfect.
Please make me alert always in a serving mood not rather in enjoying mood. As you said always we can
be in Krishna consciousness i.e 24 hours. Please help us to me to that state. Make me not to hesitate to
ask any thing which is very useful for spiritual progress.
As three things are required to make a person Krishna conscious chanting the holy names of the lord,
honoring prasadam and to know about god through Vedic literature.
As Vedic scriptures reveals that Krishna is the supreme personality of God Head. So, my humble
requests un to Srila Prabhupada please always provide me these three things and keep me always
constant association with devotees. So, our ultimate goal of our life will be full filled.
Srila Prabhupada on behalf of Lord Chaitanya Maha Prabhu Srila Rupa Goswami Has Established this
Mission and by your Spiritual Master Advice you have established this great society named ISKCON.
Which is helping to make many of them to know about Krishna and giving opportunity to chant every
one and hear about Krishna. Who is the Ultimate goal of life.
My Only request un to U is if I am not become perfect in this life make me to born in a Krishna
conscious family this is my only request. So, I can start my Krishna conscious life as said by Prahlad
Maharaj in his teachings Kaumra caret prjo dharmn bhgavatn iha. "Why? All right, if you say
that I shall become Ka conscious, I shall become. Let us grow now." No. Durlabha mnuya
janma tad api adhruvam arthadam "No, no, no. Don't spoil your life in that way. It is Although we have
got this body, human form, but it is also adhruvam. It will not stay."
So, Prabhupad a my humble request un to U is make me to become strong in krishna Conscious which is
the ultimate goal of our life.And I request everyone to become Krishna conscious in this in this life, I
pray to Prabhupada to give chance every one.
Thank you Srila Prabhupada giving me opportunity to write this homage.

Jai Srila Prabhupada !!!
I have no qualification to speak of your greatness and glories. Actually I can never repay my debt to you.
Thank you very much for appearing on this earth and giving your special association to me and all other
fallen conditional souls like me. Thank you for opening our eyes which are covered in ignorance with
the divine knowledge. You have diminished the darkness within us by the torch light of knowledge.
I cant imagine my condition if I would have not been in association with you. We have no knowledge,
no qualification. We would have been simply wandering in this material world trying to satisfy our
senses. You the
Ocean of mercy have so mercifully given us the knowledge of the sciptures and showed us our true
interests. I dont know how I am going to thank you for this. Thank you for introducing Krishna to us.
Thank you for making this fallen conditioned soul engages in yours and Krishnas service. Your glories
are proclaimed in all the worlds O Prabhupada.
Please guide me eternally and engage this fallen soul in the service of your lotus feet.

Dear Srila prabhupada, Please accept my humble obeisance at your lotus feet.
I am very thankful to srila prabhupada because he opened my eyes and showed the right path and took
me to the path of light from darkness. Before coming in contact with ISKCON I was in mode of
ignorance. I.e before I was a meat eater, but now due to the mercy of srila prabupada & lord sri Krishna I
am following four regulative principles. So I am requesting to srila prabupada & lord sri Krishna to give
me firm mind, and blessings to follow four regulative principles throughout my life. In 1995 first time I
visited ISKCON with my friends & teacher. At that time I felt very happy by seeing such a beautiful,
amazing big temple. After that in 2005, I visited temple casually, and I enrolled for yoga retreat level 1 by
seeing posters in gita counter. There is a reason why I enrolled for yoga retreat level 1 i.e., I was not
good at studies, lack of concentration because of my unhealthiness & family problem. After finishing
YR-1, on the same day I enrolled for YR-2, but I didt attend & I lost contact with ISKCON for many
VyasaPuja2011

years. In 2009, one day in our college I met one ISKCON folk devotee; through his inspiration I again
attended YR-2. From that day onwards. I am regularly in contact with ISKCON and now I am in folk-8.
The reason I am telling this is to prove that it was possible only by the mercy and blessings of srila
prabhupada even after all obstacles, bad health irregularity.
This shows, srila prabhupada is not going to let go any lord krishnas devotees away and my humble
request to srila prabhupada is to give his blessing and mercy to do more & more devotional service and
follow Krishna consciousness throughout my life.
Yours servant

Dear most PRABHUPADA,
I submit my humble obeisance unto your holy feet which is the gateway for mitigating the ignorance of
this material world and for obtaining the entry into true nature of the self.
This wretched soul is again trying to pen down the ocean of your mercy into a small hoof print size of
paper; Im such a miserable fool that I cannot appreciate the significance of my spiritual master as I am
willfully getting lost in the ocean of material desires. The countless offenses I have committed at your
lotus feet condemn me to the perdition of ingratitude and rebellious to your mercy. In spite of all my
offenses against the holy names of Lord Sri Krishna and purposefully violating your simple instructions,
you have kept me under your care and making me serve the most munificent incarnation lord Sri Sri
Nimai Nithai. Please accept my thousands and thousands of dandavats unto your divine grace.
I am born as a sudra in this world and even by nature behaving like a sudra, because of which you are
personally guiding me at every step and pushing me into Krishnas service without even chastising me
for all my faults. I beg your pardon for the inability to continue in the folk Ashraya programme bestowed
by you. I have heard from your closest disciple that a bonafide Acharya like you
is the sum total of all the demigods. In this world of illusion it is very difficult to find a pure devotee like
you and I am the most fortunate to obtain your association.
I always wondered, How can maya ever attack your disciple!!! How can maya be stronger than your
causeless mercy upon us!!! It is only because of my utter callousness that I am negating your mercy and
trying to associate with maya again and again to please the physical needs of this body, but, by your
divine intervention you are driving away the powerful maya everyday before I totally get entangled with
it. Thank you Srila Prabhupada for your shield of protection. Your divine grace knows very well about
the kind of material benefits to be bestowed. And when it should be bestowed upon this fallen soul, so
that I may not get attached to it and stunt my spiritual growth. Every day I have been repeating like a
parrot Na dhanam, na janam, na sundarim kavithaam va jagadeesha kaamaye, mama janmani
janmaneeshware bhavataad bhakthir ahaithuki thwayee but, internally you know very well how much
lusty I am for all these things. So, I beg you to release me of this pretention and help me to repeat these
Shikshaashtaka prayers soulfully and cement my love with lord Krishna.
Thanks a million for granting my family an opportunity to witness the leelas of baby Nimai-dasa and
motivating me in service of Sri Sri Nimai Nithai along with him. I beg you to bestow your causeless
mercy upon my parents who have still not tasted the rasa of associating with Lord Sri Krishna Chaitanya.
Srila Prabhupada, please make me repeat your divine teachings with the same transparency of glass that
you have passed on from your guru maharaja Srila Bhakthi Siddhanta saraswathi thakura. Please make
my mind and intelligence like that of a soft sponge to immediately grasp, assimilate and squeeze out
VyasaPuja2011

your nectarian teachings un-adulterated into the minds of those aspiring but mis-guided souls of this
illusory world.
I do not know my specific relation with Lord Sri Krishna and my service in His eternal residence namely
Vrindhavana and Navadweepa, but I very well know that I am your eternal servant and my immediate
duty is to wilfully engage in propagating the mission of lord Sri Gauranga Mahaprabhu through the
orders being given by your chain of disciples. Please make me follow those orders by being very humble
and ever active till my last breath. Oh Lord Chaitanya (supreme personality of god head), oh Lord
Nityananda (the guru-tattva), I humbly beg you to re-establish your position as the Sole Diksha Guru in
ISKCON Worldwide.Srila prabhupada, these mlecchas are trying to amass your glory and take false
credit for the seed of devotion planted by you into the hearts of millions of devotees worldwide. They
have already being successful in poisoning your physical body only after your sanction. But please do
not sanction them to poison lord Sri Chaitanyas moment which is the only source of illumination in this
world of darkness. Please be merciful unto all the fallen souls like me and continue to stay with us as the
only Diksha Guru worldwide. I am very sorry to not have exercised my freewill and directly support this
struggle by being an inmate of ISKCON Bangalore, but please allow me to be a part of this fight from
wherever I am now and also continue my prayers for the mercy of Sri Sri Nimai Nithai to kill the demon
within the hearts of all those offenders of your Divine grace.
Thanking you,

thunderstorm and is not finding any direction towards its destination; if suddenly it finds a ray of light,
it is more than enough to lead it to its destination. Similarly, in this material world we were stuck by the
influence of maya and were struggling to find a way to come out of its influence, when you, my Spiritual
Master came as a ray of hope, making my destination clearly visible. I have surrendered to your Louts
feet, please help till the end.
Sakshad haritvena samastha shastraih. Our scriptures say that spiritual master is as good as god, and
nobody can be eligible to take the place of Srila Prabhupada. Accepting the Lords position is not so easy,
it is like drinking the poison. Greatest of the devotee Lord Shiva drunk the ocean of poison. If a common
man tries to imitate such great personalities, definitely he will die. We can see how, many spiritually
advanced souls, drastically fell down from grace by a small speculative energy of maya. Then what to
speak about this most fallen soul, who is trying to come out from the encagement of maya. So my dear
Spiritual Master it is my humble request to you that, please help me in discriminating, please guide me
throughout this life as you have guided me from past till now. And I pray to you please help in serving
their Lordships and your lotus feet more and more.
Kabhir das in one of his poem said Guru Gobind dou khade kake lago paye balihari Guru Gobindo
bataye. It means when Guru and Govinda both are standing in front of us, definitely we have to offer
obeisance to Guru, as he is the one who shows us the way to reach Govinda. He is the one who revealed
the divine knowledge within our heart.
As a child seeks support of his mother hand to walk, in the same way I seek your hand. My dear Spiritual
Master, without your support, your mercy I cant move even a single step on the spiritual path. It is only
you that who gave a nice spiritual palace like ISKCON Bangalore for spiritual enjoyment in the age of
Kali.

Before we were completely ignorant, running behind things which will never ever satisfy us, but by your
grace we understood the truth of eternal happiness lies in serving the Lords Lotus feet and now, we are
trying to run behind Krishna and devotional service. Im thankful to you that you have shown me my
constitutional position, as an eternal servant of Lord.
Srila Prabhupada, You have sown the Bhakthi Latha Bija in my heart, and I request you my dear Spiritual
Master that please stay in my heart & take care of my Bhakthi. Protect my Bhakthi from being
suppressed by the weeds of Maya, which is there in my mind and heart. Thanking you eternally.

All Glories To My Beloved Spiritual Master, Om Visnupada Paramahamsa Parivrajakacharya 108 His
Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada Ki JAI.
My dear Guru Maharaj, please accept my respectful, prostrated obeisances unto your lotus feet. Please
always keep me at your shelter as it is the only place without any anxieties. Here in this material world
every place, circumstances is padam padam yad vipadam. But under your shelter of lotus feet its
anandambudhi vardhanam.
Dear Acharyadeva- Srila prabhupada, I am very much indebted to you eternally for bestowing your
causeless mercy. The very fact that still I am in Krishna consciousness is due to your causeless mercy on
this useless person.
My master, let me always fear to offend a Vaishnava and let me fear to forget Krishna. Everytime I fear
that even I may also fall prey to familliariaty disease towards Devotees and fall down into deep dark well
of Maya and lose value for Krishna Consciousness. Prabhupada, you are my only saviour. I beg for your
special protection from these pitfalls. Please protect me. Please give me the strength to distribute your
books more and more vigorously.
Only by your mercy I got good results in 3rd year. I am offering these results only for your pleasure.
Please guide me to sincerely practice your instructions and spread your gospel of Krishna
Consciousness. Without gurus mercy one cannot preach the holy names.
Oh, friend of the fallen, I bow down to your lotus feet for making me associate with diamond like
devotee, whom I thought just a glass piece. You made me realise the value for devotees. Let me not lose
it ever and ever.
Oh, Karunasindhu, Let my faith be fixed upon you alone in any circumstance and I beg for your mercy
so that my faith wont shake, dwindle.
My ever Wellwisher, please guide me how to act accordingly to your will without having any personal
attachment.
Oh Deenabandhu, please give me right perception, please guide me, lead me, and please give me your
divine instructions even when obstrucles come upon me in Krishna Consciousness.
Oh my Dear saviour- Prabhupada, please help me to avoid completely offending Vaishnava in my
thoughts, words or actions.
Oh Nityavaikunta vasi- Prabhupada, please help me to chant 16 good rounds throughout my life, to read
your books daily and practice those instructions in favourable, unfavourable, best or worst conditions.
Srila Prabhupada- thank you so much for making my parents as your ISKCON temple member and my
brother as your FOLK hostel inmate.
Praying to be always your sincere servant,

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada
Our Paramadhyatam Gurudev Sri Srimad Abhay Charan Bhaktibedanta Swami Prabhupadji Maharaj is
the person sole responsible for the translation Of Srimad Bhagabatam into English by which it has now
been spreading throughout this planet. He campaigned into the western countries for spreading
teachings of Lord Krishna in the form of Srimad Bhagabatam and spreading Krishna Consciousness.
There are so many forms of Translation of Bhagabatam available. The original Bhagabatam written by
Vyasadev is written in Sanskrit consisted of 18,000 slokas. From that original Bhagabattam Shri
Jagannath Das Babaji Maharaj made some translations. Translation of that derived Bhagabatam into
English was done by our beloved Paramadhyatam Gurudev Sri Srimad Abhay Charan Bhaktibedanta
Swami Prabhupadji Maharaj, whos annual Vyasa Puja Mahamahostava we are celebrating. He went to
the western world on the order of His spiritual master to spread the teachings of Srimad Bhagabatam,
glorifying the Supreme Lord Krishna and teachings of Mahaprabhu and thus propagating Krishna
Consciousness. Gita, Bhagabat, Chaitnaya Charitamrita, Upanishad and likewise many such Vedic
Sastras were translated into English and published by Him. Reading those, the westerners have become
great devotees for the Lord, got attracted to the Lord and embraced Krishna Consciousness.
The saddest part lies here that bring so much away and untouched from the concept of Hinduism and
the glorification of the Lord they have embraced the Lord and His sayings. Rather, here born to this
world and that to this holy place, which the Lord Himself chose for his pastimes, we Indians fail to
glorify the Lord. After getting this human form of life people love to live life the dogs way. All glories
goes to Srila Prabhupad who made Krishna Consciousness happen to me, to us, to the westerners and
one and all, making it global and thus resulting in International Society For Krishna Consciousness.
On my previous birthday someone wished me that I develop more in Krishna Consciousness and
become a nice devotee. I always feel better thinking of what the persons wishes. I, on this annual Vyasa
Puja Celebrations would pray to Srila Prabhupada to bestow his mercy on me to remain in Krishna
Consciousness and if cannot become a devotee, the give me strength to serve the sincere devotees of the
Lord . HARE KRISHNA. JAI SRILA PARBHUPADA.

Dear Prabhupad,
I offer my humble obeisance unto you. Im very much thankful for showering your mercy on us. Even
though I was born and brought up in Brahmana family, I came to know all about Brahmanas and our
VyasaPuja2011

tradition, culture, our purpose of birth as a human in this world from your books only. Apart from all
these, you showed your mercy by giving us the powerful Hare Krishna mantra. In this juncture, I beg
your pardon for all my aparadas that I might have committed at the lotus feet of Vaishnavas.
I sincerely thank you for all tour teachings.
Your humble disciple, Krishna Sagar N L
Bhakta Krishnan Ranganathan
Please accept our humble obeisance.
It is once again time for us to offer our gratitude to you for the wonderful path that you have shown us.
This year too we have been able to progress much on the path of Krishna Consciousness by your grace
and blessings. We have been able to visit pilgrimage places like Ayoudhya Dham, Chitrakoot, Varnasi
and above all Mukthinath. It was all a wonderful experience and we are extremely and forever obliged to
you for having shown the way and kept the tender flames of bhakti alive.
We have also been fortunate to read your books on Baghavatham continuously on a daily basis for the
past few years. It has been a wonderful experience. I have also had the opportunity to meet more than
150 of my collagemates and preach the virtues of Krishna Consciousness to them. I have been able to
open up a spiritual forum in this group of more than fifty year olds, and have tried to make an impact. It
is amazing to see that all these years they have been leading a life of materialism and how totally
immersed in worldly affairs. It reminds us of the family of hogs that were happily living in dirt and stool
as you have explained many times.
Prabhupada please help ISKCON Bangalore to come out of the difficult times that it has been subjected
to due to a very bad judgment by the Karnataka High Court. It would be very sad to see ISKCON
Bangalore Temple fall into wrong hands. It is our humble request to you to help restore justice and
establish the rightful ownership so that we can continue to nurture our Krishna Consciousness.
We must also admit to you that we could not grow the Krishna Ashraya program to the level it was
envisaged. We do hope that in the coming year we could participate more and develop this fledgling
program into a great revolution.
Your humble servants,
Krishnan Ranganathan & Sathi Ranganathan

My dear Spiritual Master Srila Prabhupada, please accept My respectful obeisances to Your lotus feet
which are the only shelter to a degraded conditioned soul like me.
Please bless me so that I can take Your basic instructions as my heart and soul.
Please show me the reality of this material world so that I can get fixed up in following Your divine
instructions.
Please break my illusion so that I can atleast appreciate Your divine instructions.
Please hold my finger as I cannot walk without Your support as I am just like a small child ignorant of
this world.
Please reveal me the glories of holy name and the taste for holy name.
Please be merciful unto me and give the shade of Your lotus feet.

Dear Srila Prabhupada !!
First of all I would like to pay my humble obeisances to your lotus feet, which is gateway to Krishnas
holy place. My prayers are dedicated to glorify your appearance, which was for the sole purpose of
germinating the nascent Krishna consciousness in fallen souls like me, by watering it with your spiritual
instructions .I am not a person who was born in Krishna conscious environment. I spent many years
without the nectar of Krishna consciousness, in absolute ignorance and suffering. It was you, who was
sent by Krishna himself to reveal the love and happiness in my life, who bestowed this gift upon me.
Prabhupada, I would like to tell you on this special occasion of vyas puja, the significance of your
presence in my life. You are my Guru. I am so fortunate that even after having so many defects in me,
you are giving me association, just out of your endless love and mercy.
It is apt in my case, to say that you showed me the true meaning of being spiritual, which was not at all
some karma-kanda, but a dedicated path, aimed to purify my inner self. You taught me the real meaning
of self-control and art of living spiritually everyday, and not just avoiding non-veg or other forbidden
things on some festival days. You gave the absolute science of the world in the most advanced
scientific book called Srimad Bhagavad Gita-As It Is.
Unfortunate are those people who consider Materially successful people as their role model and waste
their life in achieving wealth or fame .They work hard but do not know that these material things cannot
be enjoyed for happiness. In turn, wealth and fame are the two Asuras who start enjoying the person
himself, sucking his blood and energy, the very moment one meditates on them.
Your life is a true example of dedication, hard-work and endless enthusiasm to achieve the Real Target
of this material world. You are my role model. You instilled the firm belief in me that, if the cause is pure
and if the mind is balanced, anything can be achieved. You taught me how to be fearless and to fight for
a cause, to maintain your composure when people reject your words, to be philanthropic without
VyasaPuja2011

attachments, and to love Krishna unconditionally. You taught me to perceive things as they are and
much more.. And above all you taught me to live like a human-being
Prabhupada!! I want to tell you that you gave me a new birth after taking me out from the womb of
ignorance and nurtured me with the holy nameHare Krishna,Hare Krishna,Krishna Krishna hare
hare,Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare. I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

A.C Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada please accept my humble obeisances unto your lotus feet. You
have changed my life after coming into your mission, whenever I get a problem, I read your books and I
get solution for that problem. When I get more tensioned I hear to your lectures, kirtans, etc. I feel
happy. I had some bad habits before you entered my life, but after you entered my life all my bad habits
vanished away & you changed me as a perfect devotee. You gave us more kirtans through which we get
more peace of mind, and most delicious parsadam which makes all our diseases and sinful activities go
away from our body as well as soul. I have so many friends who couldnt solve my problem. But you are
the only friend who can solve my problem. Before joining your mission I had many questions about
God, that who is the supreme personality of godhead but after reading your books I got answers for
those questions. Therefore you are only my spiritual master. Thank you for all that you have given me.

This life has been gifted to me by the almighty and I am here on this planet to pay my debt to you in
terms of the below wordings.
The world is so beautiful and the nature is at its duty providing its best of beauty to serve the mankind
only when I think and remember you. The miseries which we were and are facing now are vanished
when I bow down to your lotus feet.
I am here today writing in this paper only and only because of you. And I also have agreed to be with
this group always and I hope you will have fulfill my greed. The mind is wondering like a monkey
jumping from one tree on to the other. But this is given a break when I render myself to you.
We are so engulfed in fulfilling our senses rather than thinking about you. Please remove or decongest
me from this material world as it is ever lasting and increases as the age grows.
Thanks Prabhu for all the things done to us.

When I was doing my M.tech. In 2005-06. I first came in contact with ISKCON, and I was very much
attracted by the magnificent temple and by mercy of guru my project work (company) was near to
temple.
Then during my project I used to come to temple regularly and I thought of getting a govt job. Since I
was doing project work, I got placement in the same company. But after six months of working, the
schedule was very tight from morning 8:00am to late night until the completion of work. Some times I
would go home late at night. But I was regularly practicing Krishna consciousness by chanting two
rounds.
By the mercy of lord and guru, I got placed in a govt. company but my posting was 120kms from main
ISKCON temple @KGF.
During my service at KGF, I used to regularly chant 2 rounds. Then one day after chanting I prayed to
lord & guru, that if I am transferred to Bangalore, then I can progress more in Krishna consciousness.
By the mercy of guru & Krishna within 3 months I got a transfer to headquarters, where I had only five
working days. By the mercy of Srila Prabhupada, I came in contact with Krishna consciousness and came
to know the ultimate goal of life.
During or after coming in contact with ISKCON my life journey started going very smoothly, for every
problem may be material or spiritual Krishna used to bless me.

Kindly accept my humble obeisance on to your lotus feet. My dear spiritual master, you are the only
hope for my spiritual identity and spiritual enlightenment. It is by your mercy only I am practicing
Krishna Consciousness. I came in touch with you because of ISKCON Bangalore FOLK perching. It is
just because of your causeless mercy, I am observing four regulative principles, chanting 16 rounds of
Hare Krishna mah mantra every day and observing ekadashi last four plus years. Srila Prabhupada, Ive
started offering morning mangala arti everyday to deities at my home for last one year. My family
members are getting introduce to Krishna consciousness only because of your mercy. They are taking
interest in observing all the rules and regulations of devotional service. They are regularly visiting
ISKCON temple and chanting mah mantra. All this is happening only because of your kind mercy upon
me. Your mercy is unlimited. You causeless mercy only Im observing regulative principles of devotional
service to Lord Sri Krishna. My words are not enough to express my gratitude to you. I have selected
certain slokas from Srimad Bhagavatam which I would like to offer you.
We think that we have met Your Goodness by the will of providence, just so that we may accept you as
captain of the ship for those who desire to cross the difficult ocean of Kali, which deteriorates all the
good qualities of a human being.
Before reciting this rmad-Bhgavatam, which is the very means of conquest, one should offer respectful
obeisances unto the Personality of Godhead, Nryaa, unto Nara-nryaa i, the supermost human
being, unto mother Sarasvat, the goddess of learning, and unto rla Vysadeva, the author.
By regular attendance in classes on the Bhgavatam and by rendering of service to the pure devotee, all
that is troublesome to the heart is almost completely destroyed, and loving service unto the Personality
of Godhead, who is praised with transcendental songs, is established as an irrevocable fact.
By service of the Absolute Truth, even for a few days, a devotee attains firm and fixed intelligence in Me.
Consequently he goes on to become my associate in the transcendental world after giving up the present
deplorable material worlds.
VyasaPuja2011

Simply by giving aural reception to this Vedic literature, the feeling for loving devotional service to Lord
Ka, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, sprouts up at once to extinguish the fire of lamentation,
illusion and fearfulness.
The value of a moment's association with the devotee of the Lord cannot even be compared to the
attainment of heavenly planets or liberation from matter, and what to speak of worldly benedictions in
the form of material prosperity, which are for those who are meant for death.
O God, although we are born in a mixed caste, we are still promoted in birthright simply by serving and
following the great who are advanced in knowledge. Even by conversing with such great souls, one can
without delay cleanse oneself of all disqualifications resulting from lower births.
And what to speak of those who are under the direction of the great devotees, chanting the holy name of
the Unlimited, who has unlimited potency? The Personality of Godhead, unlimited in potency and
transcendental by attributes, is called the ananta [Unlimited].
Simply by our remembering you, our houses become instantly sanctified. And what to speak of seeing
you, touching you, washing your holy feet and offering you a seat in our home?
You are the spiritual master of great saints and devotees. I am therefore begging you to show the way of
perfection for all persons, and especially for one who is about to die.
Your humble Servant,
Sri Mahesh R. Shinde

When I stayed in temple for a week by doing service to Krishna, I could see lot of changes happening.
Attending yoga retreat classes and now folk class the amount of knowledge What I receive is really good.
The taste of coming to the temple has increased .
Though I could not see drastic changes, but I could see shuttle changes happening. Prabhupada please
help me in progressing in Krishna Consciousness . I am often attached by Maya, Once I feel that I am
chanting nicely I will over the moon, puffed up and very excited, But in one or other way I feel that
Krishna is helping me to become stronger spiritually.
By little bit mercy , which you have shown on me , I would at least come to temple every weekend.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada ! Hare Krishna!.
Once I had a desire to read Bhagavad Gita, Krsna had directed me to get Bhagavad Gita As It Is written
by you (Srila Prabhupada).
I started reading Bhagavad Gita, but I could not understand anything, then mercifully you have directed
me to ISKCON Bangalore temple.
You have given me an opportunity to attend many programs in the temple and I was very much
impressed by your teachings and I was very much attracted to temple by your grace.
By your grace, I have come to a platform of chanting 16 rounds and reading your books.
You have directed me to be a part of FOLK hostel to practice krsna consciousness.
I have felt lot of bliss by engaging in devotional service like book distribution, preaching, temple services
etc..,.
Once for the first time, I had been for book distribution with a team of 3 to 4 people. When we started
distribution books, there was nobody coming to the stall, and then you gave me lot of energy to go shop
VyasaPuja2011

by shop and distributing books. So on the whole, we have made some around 1k to 1500(approx). You
have given us lot of motivation and encouragement in distributing books. At the end of the day in the
temple, we the team has received a gift for doing good book distribution. You have given us lot strength
and intelligence unto this fallen conditional soul. You are so merciful Srila Prabhupada.By being in
FOLK hostel, you have given me an opportunity to learn many things.
You have given me a place to stay in Vaikunta (temple), but I am so fallen soul as could not utilize the
opportunity. But you re so merciful unto me. You have given me lot of strength to keep chanting 16
rounds and read your books & follow regulative principles.
All glories to you Srila Prabhupada for being so kind and merciful unto this fallen soul.

single minute to think upon the miseries
we are suffering throughout the day.
Giving time upon this very fact, one
would realize the situation.
The secret to get rid of such problems ,
in fact the easiest solution to these
miseries was brought to us by none other
than HIS DIVINE GRACE A C
BHAKTIVEDANTA SRILA PRABHUPADA.
The secret, THE VEDA, was limited to
very few people, when SRILA
PRABHUPADA was instructed by
SRILA BHAKTI SIDDHANTA
THAKUR to make materially diseased
VyasaPuja2011

people what is known as KRISHNA CONSCIOUS.
Now people all over the world of all
religion have got this opportunity to
delve into the consciousness.
I am really grateful to HIS DIVINE
GRACE for the opportunity I got to
serve KRISHNA. And this all is because
of HIS DIVINE initiative ISKCON.
Praying for HIS DIVINE appearance in
this kali affected world:
HARE KRISHNA HARE KRISHNA KRISHNA KRISHNA HARE HARE
HARE RAMA HARE RAMA RAMA RAMA HARE HARE
I was visited several times to ISKCON, yet I dont know inside the temple lots of programs about Lord
KRISHNA and readings of Bhagavat Gita.
Thankful my friends who bought me here and asked me to join SOS1, SOS2 and FOLK2.Then I realized
the truth of once life.
Also thankful to Prabhupada given us this wonderful opportunity to know about the Krishna
Consciousness.

Prabhupada the Savior of whole world! I have no word to explain the mercy of Srila Prabhupad on me. I
realised the goal of human life and trying to follow the rules and regulations.
The achievement of Srila Prabhupad in this worls is unbelievable. What he did in a short time period of
10 years and in the life's old age, only a pure devotee of Lord can achieve this milestone.
In July 1966, Srila Prabhupada established the International Society for Krishna Consciousness
ISKCON. His aim was to use the society to promote Krishna consciousness throughout the world. In
1967, he visited San Francisco and started an ISKCON society there. He then sent his disciples all over
the world to spread Chaitanya Mahaprabhu's message and open new centers in Montreal, Boston,
London, Berlin, and other cities in North America, India, and Europe. In India, three magnificent
temples were initially planned: Vrindavana, the Krishna Balarama temple with all its ancillary facilities;
Bombay, a temple with an educational and cultural centre; and in Mayapur, a huge temple with a Vedic
planetarium.
Srila Prabhupada produced all his books, barring the three written in India, within the next eleven years.
He slept little and spent the early morning hours writing. He wrote almost daily between 1:30 and 4:30
a.m. He dictated his text which his disciples then typed and edited. Srila Prabhupada translated the
original texts from Sanskrit or Bengali, word by word, and gave a complete commentary.
He wrote the Bhagvad-As It Is, the multi-volume Srimad Bhagvatam, the multi-volume Chaitnya
Charitamrita, The Nector of Devotion, Krishan: The Supreme Personality of Godhead and many.
Prabhupad wrote all the books as per the Shastra told. And he suggested that it will go till the 10,000
Years in Kaliyuga.
Srila Prabhupada, please save ISKCON from bogus gurus. We accept you as an acarya and a pure devotee
of Lord Krishna. We don't know your plan but we believe that all the issues will get resolve in the best
way.

I am very much thankful to you for giving so much prasadam through Akshaya Patra because of which
today I am at your feet. I dont know whether I can touch your lotus feet or not but if you permit I will
definitely hold your lotus feet with great care and attention. I am a fallen soul, by your mercy I am
chanting today. I dont know why you are giving so much of mercy upon this fallen soul. Please ..
please please. give your lotus feets dust.
Krishna may send me once again to this material world, but please make sure that whatever the number
of births I take further, please keep me at your lotus feet which is the shelter for the fallen souls like me.

Beloved Master Srila Prabhupada,
I thank you for being so kind on fallen souls that you personally came to take us back to our real father,
Krishna. Thank you very much for teaching me the real purpose of life otherwise, I would have
continued to live like an animal that was lusty, angry, greedy and fearful.
VyasaPuja2011

Animal life is confused life because they do not know how to solve the problems of life. Somehow
Krishna guided me and sent to you where I came to know what actually the goal and problems of life are
and how one can solve them.
You always say that modern civilization is animal civilization and this is guided by blind animals.
Ordinary animals follow these animalistic leaders and get butchered life after life as Krishna manifests
himself to them as death. You targeted these blind leaders of the society and bluntly called them as
rascals and made them convince that how they are actually rascals.
You presented the Vedic literature as the science. In my initial days to Krishna consciousness, I could
not refute your arguments and slowly surrendered to what you said. Science has two elements, thesis
and experiments. You always taught Shastras by practical examples from your life to the whole world.
You are not an ordinary personality because you are the representative of the Supreme person, Krishna.
You have taken over the legacy of Lord Chaitanya and freely distributed hari-nam to the nook and
corner of the whole world. Your words are the inspiration for the devotees all over the world so much so
that they decide to dedicate their life to serve your mission, even after you are not being physically
present on this material world. That is why you are called Jagad-Guru.
You are guiding us by your instructions and will continue to do so for the next 10,000 years, that time
people will be really struggling to eat, sleep, mate and defend and all your disciples will be in Goloka
Vrindavan, enjoying life with association of yours and Krishna.
For long period of time I was addicted to sinful activities and was struggling to come out from andha-
Kupam. Then you became my savior.
Service to your lotus feet is the only way to solve the real problems of life. I am very week in devotional
service. Please bestow your mercy upon me that I continue follow your instructions seriously and
eternally.
Oh Master, may you lead me, guide me, forgive me, chastise me to make me a servant of the servant of
the servant of yours eternally.
Your servant,
Mayank
Bhakta Mayank Agrawal
All glories to Your Divine Grace!
Before coming into your association I did not knew that Krishna is Supreme Personality of Godhead. I
used to consider all demigods as God and thinking that worship of any demigods will give same result.
By following the morning program, chanting mercifully instructed by Your Divine Grace I got to know
the real power behind spirituality which had greatly influence my way of thinking. The most amazing
thing is that You did not ask anything for Yourself. I thank You from core of my heart for bringing the
drastic change in my life. Prabhupada only by Your mercy I will be able to serve Krishna and understand
Your divine personality and please forgive me for any offense knowingly and unknowingly committed
during the service. I beg You to not toss me away,I beg You to remember whatever small service I have
tried to offer to You and I beg You to keep me eternally connected with You birth after birth.
On this day of his appearance, I offer my respectful obeisances to him a thousand times.
Trying to become your servant

You have a most wonderful personality, so warm, so affectionate and so approachable.
So much that one feels thoroughly privileged to have your association. Everything about you is so nice,
your smile, your frown, a gentle nod of the head.
Today, you are so accessible to those who seek your guidance through the numerous scholarly and
complete books that you have so tirelessly given to us. When one sees the numerous videos we are
blessed with on you, one gets a glimpse of the effort that you must have gone through to establish
ISKCON.
You are a paramahamsa, eternally liberated, empowered by Sri Krishna Himself and so dear to Him.
Still, to accept disciples of this degraded day and age and rectify the voluminous unpleasant things in
them and turn them into Vaishnavas is not a task that many liberated souls would be willing to take on.
I will not ask for more of your mercy, nor will I ask that you take me under your care. You have done
more than enough from your side.
Its high time you got some well deserved reciprocation. I will try and endeavour to live up to your
expectations. I write this because it is known that you are tired of your disciples saying they are
worthless, most fallen, bereft of all ability and what not. They may have been all of that but they can no
longer afford any of these, especially me. I wish to be someone you could be proud of, like so many
others and towards this end will my efforts be directed.
Thank you very much Srila Prabhupada.
Trying to be of service,

One can easily understand that Prabhupada is ocean of Mercy because such a non Godly & most foolish
person like me also becoming very serious in understanding spiritual life.
I am sincerely telling you that I am getting more and more clarity in my understanding of Krishna
Consciousness Knowledge and ideas.
Once I got one important article from one of the temple devotee, Explains about practice of Prabhupada
(Celibacy), I still have that article with me and I always keep those articles and book throughout my
whole life.
In that article Srila Prabhupada had personally guided his close disciples when he was in the west. All
those instructions are most important for all human beings.

My Dear Srila Prabhupada, please accept my most humble obeisances unto your lotus feet.
You are the most munificent master of the whole world, unto your lotus feet all self-made masters bow
down.

Your activities are most glorious. Even if anyone had to describe your divine glories all his lifetime, it
wouldnt be ever sufficient for him to do so because your glories are unlimitedly and eternally increasing
throughout the universe.
You are the lord and master of the surrendered souls. You are eternally propagating the great desire of
Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, love of God. Please also fix me as a part of your international movement. I am
no longer confident of my own strength and endeavor. I am a fool number one and am very dull headed.
Now, I am solely dependent on your will. Indeed, being extremely compassionate, you incessantly try to
deliver the most fallen. Please help me surrender unto you and catch your lotus feet very strongly.
Let me intensely pray, O Prabhupada, please save me!.
Please make me your beloved servant.

All glories to my spiritual master, A.C Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada. My dear Srila
Prabhupada, please accept my humble obeisances at Your divine lotus feet.
Srila Prabhupada I am thanking You from bottom of my heart because, by Your merciful glance this
insignificant and most fallen conditioned soul has got a chance to begin its spiritual life and everyday
experiencing new realization in spirituality. I cannot stop thanking You for everything that You have
given for us.
By the mercy of my great spiritual master, most exalted and pure devotee of Lord Krishna Srila
Prabhupada, from the time I started my spiritual journey to my most dearest friend, father, lover, real
relative, ultimate goal of everyone Lord Sri Krishnas abode Goloka Vrindavana, each and every second
I am praying to You and Lord Krishna to bless me, so that I can reach my destination without much
hurdles. Even though I face many obstacles in this journey, I treat all these obstacles as insignificant, just
like road blocks which can be cleared in a matter of few minutes. I am crossing over all these obstacles
just by remembering Lord Krishna or just by reciting Lord Krishnas holy name.
By following the teachings of my one and only great spiritual master Srila Prabhupada, I am very much
determined and confident that one or the other day I will surely go back to my home - Goloka
Vrindavana to serve my dearest lord Sri Krishna with great honor and pride without wasting even a
single second. I am very eagerly waiting for this moment and I will definitely wait for this moment and I
am very much confident that surely I will achieve the one and only goal of my life, which is to become a
servant of all auspicious, all attractive, all pervading Lord Sri Krishna.
VyasaPuja2011

I am completely surrendered unto the lotus feet of Srila Prabhupada because I am fully convinced that
one will attain advancement in Krishna Consciousness only by the mercy of a spiritual master like Srila
Prabhupada who is a pure devotee of Lord Krishna. I will always think of pleasing my greatest spiritual
master Srila Prabhupada and thereby pleasing Lord Sri Krishna himself in one or the other way. As per
my understanding, to please a spiritual master one has to simply follow the instructions given by the
spiritual master with great respect and pride. The lotus feet of our spiritual master are the only way by
which we can attain pure devotional service. I bow to Srila Prabhupadas lotus feet with great awe and
reverence. By His grace we can cross the ocean of material suffering and obtain the mercy of Krishna.
My dear Spiritual Master Srila Prabhupada, I want to thank you each and every second of my life for
showing mercy on this most conditioned soul by showing the path of Krishna Consciousness and
making me aware of my constitutional position and for helping me to surrender unto the lotus feet of
Lord Sri Krishna. I am really shocked, surprised and felt very happy when I see the growth of this
movement, the movement to spread the message of Lord Sri Krishna. This great achievement can only be
done by a great and pure devotee of Krishna and hence this is achieved by You.
O master! O ocean of mercy! Please help me in obtaining the mercy of my dear Lord Krishna. O master!
Please be with me and guide me in every step of my life. O great spiritual master! Please show mercy
upon this most fallen conditioned poor soul. O my dear master! I am completely surrendered unto your
lotus feet, please save me from this contaminated material world. O master! Greatest servant of Lord Sri
Krishna! Please help me to become a servant of my dear Lord Krishna. O master! Please be merciful unto
me and give me the shade of Your lotus feet. Your fame is spread over the three worlds. Millions and
billions and trillions of thanks and humble obeisances to you my dear master Srila Prabhupada. Please
bless me so that I can constantly think of You and my dear Lord Sri Krishna. All glories to Srila
Prabhupada. All glories to Sri Sri Radha Krishna Chandra.

The first thing I want to say about Srila Prabhupada is that he was a pure devotee of Lord Krishna. And
the impossible thing which he made possible is one of the largest miracle in the Kaliyuga.
He was the man full of power and miracles. If you are serving Prabhupada dont think that you are
serving any ordinary material body, you are serving the great spiritual master i.e. Lord Krishna.
Krishna who sent Srila Prabhupada in one of the miracles form was the best ever miracle in the Kaliyuga.
Srila Prabhupada was the man of miracle who can change the material world into spiritual world and he
was the man who can give peaceful surroundings to the material body.

Oh Srila Prabhupada, my beloved spiritual master and the saviour of my life! Because of You, I'm a
proper human today. You have opened my eyes which was covered with a large layer of dust for a long
time, by Your causeless mercy. I pay my respectful obeisances unto You!
Millions of words and appraisals are not enough for what You have given me, the most precious thing,
the knowledge of LORD KRISHNA....
Till I came in contact with Your disciples and Your books, I had thought that this human life is filled
with only sorrow and suffering. Ony later by Your grace I could understand what duty we can do with
human form of life by surrendering ourself to the lotus feet of LORD KRISHNA..
Since then You have become my role model and a feeling of support for me. Whenever I'm in sorrow, I
get back to Your teachings and calm myself. Your teachings have really made many wonderful changes
in me.
Oh my master please forgive me if I have committed any mistakes and be merciful upon me and lead me
back to my home, back to KRISHNA, because its only you who can liberate me as You are a pure devotee
VyasaPuja2011

of the Lord. We really miss Your presence in ISKCON today but Your instructions are always there with
us.... Please bless me so that this would be my last birth on this miserable planet. By Your grace and by

You are really great as You are resting peacefully at the lotus feet of Krishna....!
Loads of love and gratitude to You! Bless me to serve You and Krishna more and more and please treat

I was born in the darkest ignorance, and my spiritual master opened my eyes with the torch of

Srila Prabhupada you have many qualities in full extent of which your mercy is the supreme quality,
because you have shown your mercy to the demon like me. You have given everything for me, but we
are not strictly following your divine instructions, and what to tell about your compassion it so powerful
that it has been bestowed upon the fallen soul for your mission. I am trying to follow your instructions.
But not become serious in spiritual life. Your words, thinking vision and activites are uncomparable,
unthoughtfull like many things are there like convert hippes to the devotee. By your activites and your
books is so striking any layman can become a serious devotee.
Youre the eternal associates of Radharani and representative of Nityananda prabhu. Please Parbhupada, I

My Respected Aacharya, Dear Srila Prabhupada.
I am Neesheeth, from the place near Mathura, it was grace of Krishna that I born near Mathura. But only
bit I was in Krishna consciousness. From age of 16 17 I start reading Gita from Gita Press Gorakhapur
and start trying sense control but I was not successful. Later by age of 18 became fully karmi and involve
in family maintenance. But Krishna was my Supreme Lord I used to pray to Lord Krishna only from
small village/town to I go to Lucknow state capital of U.P, and from Lucknow I reached finally 3500
K.M. away to Bangalore and by Gods grace I reached to ISKCON. I am thankful for the people who
helped me to reach Bangalore with small Gita and ISKCON.
I still remember my first day in ISKCON.I do not know what happened to me. I cried 10-20 minutes in
temple. I became member and by your grace now living near temple, so I can come regularly to temple.
One more blessing I got from you is I am merited to attend FOLK. By this I can know more about God
and you. Now when I look back I find I am getting rid by material attachment - wife, son, mother,
money, self proud etc.
You have changed my life, now I understand real meaning of life by your Gita and Bhagavatam.
I am thankful for your kindness on me and promise I will fully surrender my self to your mission please
help me to reach my target and guide me.
Yours

Today I offer the prayers of my faith to your lotus feet.
Whatever value you find in me are gifts given by you.
I sincerely fall down before your lotus feet and beg you:
Kindly help me not to withhold anything from you and the divine Couple.
Please give me strength and love so that I can wholeheartedly offer all my words, acts, and thoughts for
your service.
Thank you so much.
We struggle too, Srila Prabhupad. We know you are well aware of that. We struggle to control our
senses. We struggle to chant attentively and without offense. We struggle to follow the principles and
your instructions. We struggle to get the enthusiasm to give Krishna consciousness to others. We
struggle to get along with each other.
We struggle just to keep struggling to become Krishna conscious. Sometimes it seems like a hopeless
task. How can we succeed when we are often our own worst enemies? Our success lies in simply
remaining faithful to you and never giving up this. You have given us so many blessings to make the
struggle easier that it hardly seems proper to beg for more. Yet we shamelessly beseech your mercy so
that we can get the strength to continue on this path and not be deviated, not become disheartened or
discouraged by our own weaknesses and anarthas. It may take us many lifetimes (although you urged us
to finish up our business in this life), yet there is no more worthwhile struggle than the one to attain
ones real self.
With Regards

After coming in the shelter of BHAKTI VEDANTA SWAMI SRILA PRABHUPAD I learnt so many things.
Like how to calm down in life. Not to hurt others, try to take responsibilities of own I am also lazy,
never go to any place without cause, also dont want to go to market, only if there is necessary. But now I
am regularly coming to ISKCON TEMPLE without any hesitation. This is only due to

Dear Prabhupada,
Its my great pleasure and so fortunate that Ive been given a chance to express feelings about you. Due to
your mercy only, we are able to understand the message of Krishna. And what is our goal in life as well.
Your message of Krishna Consciousness is spreading like fire. Its all possible only because of your
diligent efforts. You have laid a foundation of a spiritual world that is fully free of any materialistic
bondage.
Moreover, your way of elaborating Bhagavad Gita is outstanding. You have explained each word written

I offer my respectful obeisances unto my Spiritual Master the deliverer of the fallen souls. His mercy
turns the dumb into eloquent speakers and enables the lame to cross mountains.
I offer my humble obeisances unto your lotus feet.
I was leading an animal life until I came in touch with your divine institution, ISKCON. By your and
Lord Krsnas mercy I got an opportunity to practice devotional service and understand the
transcendental knowledge. You are so merciful unto all the conditioned souls.
On this auspicious occasion of Vyasa puja, I beg from you to help me surrender unto your lotus feet.
This fallen conditioned soul is still not able to follow your divine instructions. Kindly help me to chant
attentively and seriously.
Please forgive me for any offenses I might have committed at your lotus feet.

All Glories to the most merciful ,saviour of the Souls Jagadguru Srila Prabhupada.
My Dear Prabhupada its you and Sri Sri Radha Krishna Chandra who know that how fallen I am,
whenever I recall my deeds I loose courage to face you. Dear Prabhupad, the self guiltiness pulls me
down and i feel pity on my situation. Gurudev ,your causeless mercy flows like Holy Ganges,
irrespective of place and person you bestow your divine compassion on every fallen soul of this universe.
Srila Prabhupada , I always receive your care and your Divine mercy through your disciples which has
given me strength to face you and to be in your service .
Dear Prabhupada I am pulled by different forces of Maya Devi in different direction. I struggle to Chant
my rounds and carry out my devotional services . The more I fight these forces which pull me the more
it becomes intensified and it seems this force ,which is pulling me down in every aspect, is never ending
and all powerful. Prabhupada Maya devis arrangement is perfect, she plans and strike at perfect moment
and always wins and I always loose,I am Shattered Prabhupada. My Dear Prabhupada please give me
strength to carry out my devotional services. I dont know how many times more i will be defeated and
shattered by Maya devi ,but i only desire YOU to be My Saviour,always.

Dear Prabhupada,
Please accept my respectful obeisances.
I was a person living in this world like anyother normal person without knowing the cause of birth. As a
normal person I spent many years without knowing what should be known. By the causeless mercy on
this fortunate soul I was shown path to a place called ISKCON. Where in,
I developed loving relationship with our spiritual master, whose direction is enough to surpass
all the obstacles in ones life.
Love for Supreme lord blossomed in me.
VyasaPuja2011

I met kind , humble, lords dearest devotees always in the service of lord.
I was part of amazing celebration of festivals and experienced soul touching Kirtans which in
turn felt presence of lord.
And earned never ending love for spiritual master and supreme lord Krishna.
May the same experience touches millions of hearts.
I wish, let there be no day in my life in which I dont chant the holy name.
I wish, let there be fear inside me of forgetting your words.
I wish, to perform every activity in my life keeping Krishna at the centre.
You to be my spiritual master birth after birth.

I am in touch with ISKCON by the ISKCON Bangalore temple. I am fully dedicated to Prabhupad by
hearing his pastimes and some interesting life history of Prabhupad. I was excited by seeing Prabhupads
publishment of Back To Godhead by himself without any help or monetary facility. With the above
words I conclude that I am fully dedicated to Prabhupad.

Words in my vocabulary are not sufficient to describe Your glories. Yet I make an insignificant attempt
to describe Your glories.You are the Only person who is to be worshiped in equal to the Supreme
Personality of Godhead, Sri Krishna. Only by Your mercy, a person can advance in spiritual life and
make his way back home, back to Godhead. You are the well-wisher of every living entity, even of the
lowest of mankinds.Disregarding your old age, you went to USA to preach the message of Krishna,
which a normal person can never even think of. I have never in my life, seen such a tolerant person.
Several acts of you are such that, they cant be performed by ordinary people. You definitely should be
authorized by the Supreme Lord himself, to perform such acts.You have done a great service to the
society. Several programs initiated by ISKCON Bangalore have impacted the lives of many people in and
around Bangalore. Several centers started by them having You as the Only Diksha Guru have been like
the water giving oasis in the hot and barren desert.Due to the recent events, where some of the disciples
of Your Divine grace claimed to be the acharyas(whom You never appointed) after Your disappearance,
had won the court trails. It was a week long period where, we were provided with different varieties of
ways to serve you and your mission. It was really a new experience. You really have a superior plan. All
those bogus people may have a temporary victory, but ultimately its you who will win over the falsely
proclaimed Gurus and thieves who are looting your asset (which should be used in Krishnas service.)Oh
spiritual master, please help me, by bestowing your mercy upon me and bless me to become sufficiently
strong in my spiritual life and go back home back to Godhead.

I came to know about you by the great ISKCON Temples, By knowing about yourself through the
various class I attended and through your book, I felt that you are the guru who came to teach us.
Who is the real GOD. How each and every person in this world, irrespective of his birth ( That is.,
Indian, American, Chinese etc or any caste or creed) were all unique in the eyes of Lord.
I personally feel you are the true teacher who is showing the path for all of us, ignorant people to feel the

scriptures like Bhagavad-Gita, Srimad Bhagavatam, Caitanya-Caritamrta and many more from which we
can get the knowledge of Supreme Personality of Godhead.

I would like to give many many thanks to A C Bhaktivedanta Swami, because of him, I am getting
chance to learn Bhagwad Gita. Before Prabhupada, Bhagawad Gita was also there but that was not
perfect and Bhagawad Gita which we are learning that is written by A C Bhaktivedanta Swami. Because
of him ,every individual knows ISKCON .
I spent my till date life it was waste, but when I came ISKCON and join FOLK then got chance to learn
something about Bhagwad Gita. And now a day I felt that I am changing my life because of Prabhupada.
Now I am getting spiritual path in my life then I am confident that in future I will become one pure
devotee of Lord Shri Krishna.

Please accept my humble obeisance at your lotus feet. Dear spiritual master Srila Prabhupada, because of
your causeless mercy I came to know about the Supreme Personality of Godhead Krishna and Hare
Krishna Maha Mantra. Before coming to Krishna consciousness I was ignorant of Krishna and his loving
devotional service. Out of your causeless mercy you revealed that the constitutional position of a living
entity is to do service to Krishna. You introduced me chanting the holy names of Krishna, the Hare
VyasaPuja2011

Krishna Maha mantra, which is very auspicious and prescribed for this iron age of kali.Every living
entity is busy with some or other work and engaged in some sort of activity. But remembering Krishna,
The Supreme Personality of Godhead while doing our work and working for the sake of Krishna is very
auspicious. Before coming to Krishna consciousness I was ignorant about offering all my work to
Krishna and to surrender to Krishna. After coming in touch with Krishna consciousness I come to know
about the supreme purpose of Krishna. Chanting of Hare Krishna Maha Mantra has increased my
consciousness about the Supreme Lord Krishna. Chanting of holy name gave me the strength to
overcome my mental disorders and stress. Let me be sincere and serious about chanting the holy names
and executing my duties by remembering your lotus feet and let me subordinate all my work to the
Supreme Personality of Godhead Sri Krishna.

means, I was knowing that "GOD IS GREAT" but I didnt have any knowledge that how God
is great. It is only because of You I got to know that how God is great and this fallen soul got in touch
with Krishna.I am trying hard to follow the sadhana bhakti as per Your instruction.Oh Prabhupada, my
efforts to follow Your instructions are going on & I am trying to the best of my abilities, but I am failing
hopelessly, many of the subtle anarthas are happening again and again.Please give the spiritual strength
to overcome this gross and subtle anarthas and follow your instructions. It is only because of Your
causeless mercy that You have taken us and shown the right path to move towards krishna. Please be
merciful unto this hopeless fallen soul, Oh Srila Prabhupada.I thank You for giving me Your mercy for
being Your student and to follow spiritual life, I thank You for giving me the chanting of the Hare

GURU SRILA PRABHUPAD is great personality who has started this mission not for fame, money, or any
mind of material needs. Being a rich man in his personal life, he has dedicated himself towards
KRISHNA-CONSCIOUNESS and he has headed the hippies and the people who were worst in

mankind.It is my pleasure being a person of FOLK. In fact GOD only brought me here to come to know
about great personality called SRILA PRABHUPAD rather than wasting my good times in shopping

is there, there is only kirtan of Krishna. You are always fully in Krishna consciousness. Those who
associate with you get only nectar of Krishna consciousness. I beg your mercy. Bless me to always be
Krishna conscious.
Please accept my humble obeisances to your lotus feet which are only my shelter.
A great Vaishnava devotee said unless you become the servant of spiritual masters servant you cant get
liberation.
But you are the only person who teaches that bhakti is more than liberation and distributed it very easily
to us. As you said Krishna can give liberation very easily but not bhakti, but by your mercy on this fallen
soul you have shown the way and as well as taught us to practice the same.
This is only because of your causeless mercy upon the fallen souls.
It is my sincere request to my senior devotees please correct if I have commited any mistakes, because
this is not an offering to an ordinary person but to our spiritual master His Divine Grace A.C
Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada who saved us from the real problems namely, Birth, Death, Old age &
disease and showed the real home & real happiness. What I can say about him with my very very little
knowledge, what I can glorify without his mercy.
Srila Prabhupada, By Your mercy & compassion through your disciples, this fallen soul has come to
By Your mercy unfortunate soul became fortunate.
By Your mercy I got the association of devotees.
By Your mercy we have got the opportunity of relishing varieties of Krishna Prasadam from devotees.
By Your mercy I got light of Knowledge Krishna consciousness through FOLK.
By Your mercy this poor person got meaning to life, serving Krishna in our present lifestyle with present
technologies. You are the only person who challenged that any technology can be used in service of the
Lord and demonstrated it.
By Your mercy, by chanting I always experience freshness in myself. Whatever I do, I feel everytime I am
getting happiness, which I am experiencing for the first time in my life.
But due to my old bad habits, I am not able to finish the task of chanting with proper attention due to
lack of knowledge, intelligence, common sense & sincerity
Still by Your causeless mercy You are giving association through your disciples.
Please show me the way to have more & more association with devotees & stay with them so that I can
always hear about your words and kirtans which you always glorify lord sri Krishna and vaisnavas.

Please accept my humble obsciences unto Your lotus feet.
Firstly, I want to thank You for all the things which I have got in Krishna consciousness and Krishna
consciousness itself. Though born in Brahmana family I had a very vague idea about the religion,
philosophy, and God. You were the only one, who opened my eyes and showed who God is, how to love
him, and what is the relationship with Him, etc. I am very grateful to You and one lifetime is not enough
to repay what I have got from You. Hence my humble request to You is that, please save me from the
very attack of modes of material nature, Maya, and make me servant of servant of Your servant, so that I
can render devotional service till my last breath. Seeking shelter of Your lotus feet, You are the only ray
of hope. Please make me engage in Your service always.

I offer my respectful obeisances unto Srila Prabhupada, who is renunciation personified and is always
merged in a feeling of separation and intense love of Krishna.Hare Krishna! How are you my dear
beloved spiritual master Srila Prabhupada? I am fine here (material world) with your blessings. I am
your disciple, Please give me benediction to have patience, intelligence and to utilize the same in life and
spread the Krishna consciousness everywhere.But I dont know whether I am suitable to be a disciple of
yours. But I have understood, you are only spiritual master in this modern world. There is no other way
to search for Guru. Hence I firmly fixed that you are my GURU, and guide me to follow your footsteps
always. Jai Srila Prabhupada ki jai jai.You taught me, if everything was really haphazard and pointless,
then asking What is the purpose of life? would be meaningless. But practical experience tells me
theres a reason for everything, even though sometimes its not obvious. It shows so that I am willing to
accept there is a purpose behind everything, and a consciousness (or person) behind that purpose. Our
real, spiritual nature is to seek enjoyment. That's what everybody does. The Vedas talk about the
purpose of life in great detail: Krishna is the cause of all causes, the Supreme Enjoyer, and He expands
Himself unlimitedly to make unlimited enjoyable relationships possible. That's what He does.
Spiritual beings like you are meant to live in the spiritual world rather than material world. However you
are taking care of your disciples. But I am deeply pained very often due to my beloved institution of
ISKCON Bangalore being disturbed by another institution of ISKCON Mumbai. Kindly intervene in this
matter and advice them to support ISKCON Bangalore activities. Please take care of us. We are your
children, guide us to propagate your instructions and develop the institution.
By your grace, I understand that spiritual practice is poison initially and will be nectarine at end. We're
all naturally Krishna conscious. In illusion, we think were the center of the universe, and our bodies are
our real selves. Krishna consciousness is a "practice" to achieve spiritual goal.
Bless me, always to associate with your devotees for spiritual progress, an essential ingredient for
steadiness in spiritual life, to hear from those who've made the quantum leap of faith toward Krishna
consciousness, and learn why it's impossible to make spiritual progress in a vacuum Yours always

Dear Spiritual Master,
Please accept my most respectful and humble obeisance at your lotus feet on this auspicious day of your
appearance. All glories to His divine Grace Jagat Guru Srila Prabhupada.
By the mercy of Sri Sri Radha Krishna and Srila Prabhupada, your divine grace appeared on this earth to
distribute the transcendental knowledge to a fallen soul like me. O spiritual master by the causeless
mercy, you gave me the right way towards supreme Lord.
I deserve nothing superior in my life but, Gurudev you changed my way of living life, you gave us happy
and joyful Krishna consciousness livelihood. I was living an animal life in the form of human being but
your Divine Grace, gave me new life as a human being.
Your divine Grace, you gave us an understanding and real knowledge about the Supreme personality
God Lord Sri KRISHNA. You are the messenger of Supreme Lord. Gurudeva you distribute the secret
knowledge of supreme Lord to all over the world.
By your pure teachings, anyone can realize that the purpose of life is to be engaged in the devotional
service of the Supreme personality of godhead Sri Krishna. By your mercy, Srila Prabhupada, you have
given us your association, your divine instructions through your various books. You instruct us the
VyasaPuja2011

glories of supreme lord in so many different ways that we could understand through your numerous
books, prasadam, devotees, lectures, festivals etc. You help us surrender to Krishna more and more.
Your divine Grace, you started the ISKCON movement all over the world, within 10years you built 108
ISKCON temples, thousands of full time devotees and more than millions of followers. By your mercy
millions and millions of people recognize the purpose of human form of life.
Gurudeva I do not have enough words to thank you, as "thank you" is a very insignificant word for all
your kind efforts in bringing us closer to Krishna. I have no such qualification to write anything about
your unlimited glories, O Gurudeva, O ocean of mercy, you the only bona fide Acharya, a Spiritual
Master forever in ISKCON all over the world.
Please accept my offering at your lotus feet and please bless me to progress on the path of Krsna
consciousness.
All glory and glories to Jagat Guru Srila Prabhupada.
The whole world savior Jagat guru Srila Prabhupa Ki Jay.

Dear rla Prabhupda,
All glories unto You. Please accept my humble obeisance. I thank You for Your causeless mercy unto us.
You have immensely influenced us in our lives with dazzling spiritual vibration. I consider myself being
one of the most fortunate souls getting in contact with Your Divine Grace. My perception towards the
entire cosmic manifestation is entirely changed to see everything in reality. You entered my life through
Your extended self ISKCON, Bangalore. I feel deeply secured when I realize my good fortune, by Your
mercy without cause, having an one-on-one relationship with Your Divine Grace. There are zillions of
living entities in the universe traversing all over the planets who scarcely know that there is a Superior
Force working above us. Amongst them, there are very few people who believe that the Superior Force is
a Personality, who is controlling the entire creation. Out of the very few living entities, there are hardly
any souls who know That Absolute Personality in truth. There are many religious institutions
speculating about various forms of the Lord as Brahman, Paramtm and Bhagavn. Thank You rla
Prabhupda, for guiding me personally to the path that reaches the highest destination, to serve
Bhagavn in person which is not only the easiest way, but can also be joyfully executed in any condition
of existence. However, after Your physical departure from this mortal world, there are many deviations
that led to havoc in the organization for not following Your instructions as it is by the self-proclaimed
gurus . The entire world has now seen their consequence. Their fallacies and fall down. We still have
hope. All glories to Your own embodiment ISKCON, Bangalore and its associated temples, the only
organization in the entire world that protects Your position as the sole diksha-guru in ISKCON and are
following Your instructions unadulterated, immaculately. We can judge the same by its results achieved.
As You personally said that by gauging distribution of prasdam, books and Harinm, we can know how
the organization is flourishing. The Akshaya Patra Foundation is distributing prasdam for more than
thirteen million children a day and is ever increasing its scale to reach out more. ISKCON Bangalore
holds the highest sales record in distributing your books and the devotees are raising the bar every time
to double it! The Ka Lila Theme Park project has been initiated to spread Lord Kas Holy names
and Your glories to every corner of the world. I am grateful to You, rla Prabhupda for giving me
shelter at Your lotus feet by having me to associate with the real ISKCON in Bangalore which happens to
be the hub of spiritual revolution which is dynamic, vibrant and splendid, the way Your movement
should be and was in the past. Kindly help us carry on Your service to Lord Ka undisturbed.
VyasaPuja2011

I am still a toddler who is trying to know about the spiritual realm at a very slow pace. Please help me to
be Your good disciple birth after birth, as You are the only solace and Your mercy knows no bounds.
Kindly forgive me for all the mistakes I have committed and give me strength not to repeat such
mistakes at Your lotus feet. I beg You to hear this letter of affection and oblige.
Aspiring to be Yours,
Pramukh.

I thank you for all Lord has given to me. It is because of your teachings people are moving out of
darkness and going to path of spiritual life. I thank you lord for all I have for e.g. my parents, relatives,
friends, and world as now becauseof this only I am conscious about you. If I was proper then I should
have only desire to become rich, thus only thinking of material prosperity which would hinder my
growth towards spirituality.
It is because of you that I am able to listen to the realities of life, aim and duty of ours. Not many people
get such opportunity. Also in this kaliyuga, there already there are bad people. So by creating ISKCON
you have converted large percentage of world into good people, who are indeed taking out negativity
from other people by creating holy environment (chanting, kirtans.etcetc)
Before coming to ISKCON I would struggle to control myself, but now, to some extent Im able to
control myself. all because of ur grace, BY chanting Hare Krishna Mahamantra, You have Provided a
spiritual path to us. Thanking you LORD, I hope, by going through this path, I will be able to
understand the Lord and be able to love him truly from my heart. Hope by following this path large
people of world would understand Lord.

Please accept my humble and respectful obeisance unto your lotus feet.
Though I meet you daily at least once in the morning and fall at your lotus feet for begging blessings to
give me strength and intelligence to be in Lords service along with your exalted devotees especially the
one who are full time dedicated, this is a very nice facility provided to me to update you on my spiritual
progress. As I was dreaming and praying always to be in the service of the Lord along with your
dedicated disciples, now it has come true with your blessings. I joined your movement last year 8
th

November 2010 and I see that your blessings have come through the full-time devotees of temple.
Blessed with the opportunity to be a part of your movement, I have always tried to contribute to the best
of my capabilities. And I also see a lot of scope for improvement in myself to be in the service of the Lord
along with your dedicated disciples and I promise of improving going forward.
I see many problems which I was facing earlier related to mind, body and external circumstances have
been miraculously dissolved after taking to the process of devotional service. Not only me but others
who were suffering very badly with different kinds of kleshas have made a leap bound progress both
materially and spiritually in their lifes by simply taking to the process of chanting the Hare Krishna
maha mantra.Kindly request you to retain me in your movement for this life time and I promise of
improving going forward.

knows the true eternal path,one who is lagging behind the most but still the knows that the only way to
get rid from the clutches of Maya ,material world is to become Krishna Conscious .There is no other
way,no other way and simply no other way.

You know that whenever I comes to Hare Krishna Hill,In front of every Lordship i always say that its not
my endeavor to come and have the Darshan of Lordships.It is due to the inspiration from my dearest
Srila Prabhuapada.You are the strength.
Prabhupada how can one have the darshan, prasadam on a daily basis without your mercy.How can Srila

I dont have bhakti and sincerity but even having the darshan of Lord Ships on a daily basis means the
life for me.
Gurudev, I can only beg your pardon for so many follies that I do every moment.
Gurudev, Please dont leave me, I know that I am the number one rascal and will remain a stubborn fool.

I am very new to ISKCON and love to continue the relationship here because within a short span here at
ISKCON Bangalore and FOLK Hostel, I have learnt many things that made me advance in my spiritual
life. This would have not been achieved without your grace Prabhupada. You are a very special and a
memorable personality I came across.
At a very initial stage of spiritual path, I am really blessed to have you as Guru. Your teachings are
thought provoking and the way you delivered many lectures are inspiring. Sometimes I am really
surprised at your dedication and contribution in preaching Krishna Consciousness to thousands of
neophyte people. And soon I think of Krishna and his grace that made you to establish ISKCON. This
cannot be achieved by any normal persons. The process you defined (Daily Mangal Arati, Chanting,
Having Krishna Prasadam, etc.,) is very practical and within this short time of my association with
ISKCON Bangalore, I noticed lot of changes in me that improved my lifestyle. I feel very lucky to come
in association with you and hope your divine grace will help me advance in my spiritual life and attain
Krishna.

You have been a captain of our journey and leading us all to the eternal world where we originally hailed

not qualified.I recollect the recent Ratha Yatra Festival at Puri where you arranged for the purification of
my existence by getting the mercy of hundreds of Lord Jagannaths devotees and in turn protecting me
from the greatest obstacle which was in front of me. I pray to your divine grace to always keep me
engaged in the service activities of your mission till the last breath and give me enough power to drive
away all the obstacles that comes in my spiritual life.
I desire nothing except the tinge of spiritual love and guidance that you have been bestowing to all the

To my dear spiritual master, srila prabhupada
Please accept my humble obeisances, you have given us a wonderful gift like ISKCON TEMPLE so that I
am able worship Sri Radha Krishna Chandra all other deities being in this material world.
I was in ignorance totally before I come across your books. I was following others and learning to know
more about life and how to lead the life. But after visiting ISKCON Bangalore in 2004 I started
understanding more and more. I started reading your books. When I was reading the most wonderful
and thrilling book the Science of Self Realization I felt like travelling all over cosmic manifestation of the
supreme lord Sri Krishna.
Your books prevented me from the bogus gurus. I am able to understand the qualities of a guru. Now I
am in a situation that I can boldly say and accept you as my spiritual master.
I am trying to follow and carry out your orders and chant 16 rounds and follow 4 regulative principles. It
is because of your causeless mercy that divine knowledge is revealed within my heart though in a minute
quantity. It is because of you I got a chance to render some capable service to you and the Supreme Lord
Sri Krishna.
I beg your mercy so that I can do my sadhana whatever may be the situation. Please be merciful unto me
so that I can advance more and more in Krishna consciousness.

Dear Prabhupada,
Hare Krishna!
With this July I am completing 3 months in Folk Hostel as Non Resident. Just felt like sharing my
experience with you.
Thank you for being kind with me and apologizing for not practicing all the requisites,due to my work
pressure & situation I am not able to spend time daily, but my respect to institution & commitment to
Lord is always high.
I used to visit silk board folk hostel daily (3 kms away from my place) to have food, my friends asked me
why I am travelling so far just to have food? Actually it is not only the food but its about experience of
having prasadam with devotees. I didn't explain to them because certain experience has to be felt. The
time I spend in Folk hostel when I have food is very precious because it gives total relaxation, chatting
few minutes with like-minded people are the best moments in my day, this helps me to focus on my day
to day complex activities.
All credit goes to Iskcon Founder Acharya Srila Prabupada who structured all these practices and help
common people to feel this experience. I would love to continue this experience in the future as well. I
thank you for giving this beautiful opportunity and to devotees who introduce me to you.
I can assure you that I will do my support and service to temple and will always be there. I will
contribute directly to ISKCON institution's growth in the future.
Thank You
Regards,
Raghavan.

I thank you for what ever knowledge you have given me. That is you who made me know my origin &
Goal.
I hope life after life you will engage me in your service, even though I dont have any qualification to ask
this.
Its my great fortune that I have come in contact with you, I dont know what pious activity I would have
done in my previous lives to come in touch with you & touch your lotus feet & take your association, I
request you to hold me in this Krishna Consciousness world at any cost even though my Crazy mind is
asking me to leave & go back to material activities because of my foolishness.
Your mercy is like an ocean, otherwise how would a person like me be able to chant Hare Krishna Maha
Mantra.
Gone are those days where I needed to spent money on illicit activities, now I am able to spend that
money on spiritual activities.
Once again thanks a lot for making available Krishna Prasadam to us & easy way of preaching Krishna
Consciousness.
I beg your pardon for the mistakes I committed by not following your Instructions properly. Please

Please accept my humble obeisance at your divine lotus feet, thank you for making me servant of your
servant. I was in search of true spiritual leaders but I got you, the topmost exalted spiritual master. I was
in dense darkness, but by your teachings and causeless mercy I could understand at least who am I, what
real goal of life is and who is Krishna?
By your mercy Srila Prabhupada, I am trying to serve your mission and your true representatives. On
your divine appearance day, please give the strength so that I can serve the mission of Sri Caitanya
Mahaprabhu. Srila Prabhupada, your divine instructions presented in your books are as it is given by
Lord Sri Krishna, please give me the strength to understand, preach and distribute them to others.
Srila Prabhupada youre the Vyasadeva of the Kali Yuga, you have shown your causeless mercy upon
millions of suffering souls and delivered them. Srila Prabhupada your glories are unlimited, you are the
real ever well wisher of the all souls. Srila Prabhupada please bestows upon me your mercy so that I can
serve you and Lord Sri Krishna eternally. You are the only saviour of the world.

Nama Om visnu-padaya krsna-presthaya bhutale Srimate bhaktivedanta-swamin iti namine
I offer my respectable obeisances unto His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada!
My Respectable Aacharya,
I didnt know much about you and your teachings before I come in touch with ISKCON Bangalore. First
I have visited ISKCON Bangalore along with my B.Tech classmates during educational trip in 2003. Even
I have visited ISKCON Hyderabad while I was working in Hyderabad but I thought this to be just a
Krsna temple and didnt know about your preaching. Later I came to Bangalore again as part of job
relocation in 2007. One day my room-mate invited me to attend Art of Mind Control program and got
passes to attend Yoga Retreat classes. My friend dropped out but I completed Yoga Retreat classes by
your great mercy and joined FOLK batch under ISKCON Bangalore. I started chanting Hare Krsna
Maha mantra and following four regulative principles. I didnt even think to stop eating meat completely,
because one of the most difficult senses to control is tongue; but now Im able to control my senses by
your grace. I used to pray to all demigods and didnt know much difference between Krsna and
demigods, but now I have realized that Krsna is Supreme Personality of Godhead by showing correct
path to me. I am now following Krsna Consciousness, visiting temple regularly and rendering service
during festivals.
My family started looking for marriage proposals. I struggled very much to get a good partner who was
in line my activities and habits even one proposal was cancelled at last moment by your blessings.
Finally I got married with a non-devotee in 2009, but she also got convinced by your instructions and
started following regulative principles, except drinking coffee and tea. She started chanting too. We used
to quarrel initially, about not having food with onion and garlic. Later she also adjusted, and learned
cooking without onion and garlic by your mercy. Now Im able to follow all Ekadasi days and am
regularly visiting ISKCON and rendering service during festivals; sometimes along with my wife too. We
are able to distribute your books and are also reading your books. I took a vow to chant 16 rounds daily,
but am not able to do most of times. Please give me strength and encouragement to chant regularly.
I and my wife are able to follow Krsna Consciousness by your mercy, but please give your blessings to all
our family members to follow your instructions.

Please bring back original ISKCON Guru System and support ISKCON Bangalore to bring back
ISKCONs Glory.

Jagatguru srila Prabhupad ki Jai...
For 30 years in this life (No idea of how may lifetimes in past) i have been so ignorant
& completely in illusion about the purpose of life, even i was not aware that
Lord Sri KRSNA is the supreme personality of god.
What a waste of time!
I have been just running here & there in search of happiness thinking that doing my duties in material
life, collecting maximum money & running a prosperous healthy family is only the motive of life
Had it not been to Prabhupad then -I would have been continuing my suffering in this material world,
thinking that smoking & consuming alcohol will reduce the pain & that life is to only face such
suffering.
All thanks to gurudev srila PRABHUPAD, just by his causeless mercy I happen to come to Krsna
consciousness & today i have realized how wrong i was!!
I have realized the truth of the purpose of life, & the dark illusionary clouds of material life
are separated from my life.
All thanks to Srila Prabhupad,
He had struggled so much to spread "KC" across the globe & helped us to get all the opportunities to
visit krsna's temple,Such a nice hostel, pious prasadam and most importantly morning sadhanas which
helps us to progress on the path of Bhakti , Bhava & prema towards
VyasaPuja2011

Lotus feet of Lord Sri Krsna & it has not stopped here further he has helped in sending pious preachers
to help us to strengthen our determination in Krsna Consciousness.
Even after leaving this material world (physically), Prabhupad is teaching us all about the "KC" through
his many many books.
I have no words to thank our gurudev,
Only i would like to pray at the lotus feet of Lord sri Krsna &gurudev to give me enough strength &
determination to serve Prabhupads mission of KRSNA CONSCIOUSNESS
by becoming a full time devotee in the temple or wherever lord wishes.
Prabhupad you have given us so many blessing
Pl. help me in my desire to serve your mission.

My respectful obeisances unto your lotus feet !!
I am very much grateful and indebted to you for your causeless mercy and unlimited divine grace which
helped me awaken and cultivate my dormant love for Krishna and re-establish my eternal relation with
Krishna The Supreme personality of Godhead.
I was not satisfied with the formal education I had in school and college as I never felt contended with
that. You gave me that true knowledge which I was unconsciously seeking for all these days. I was like
an orphan without any spiritual master until you gave me shelter of your lotus feet. I have learnt many
things from your books and lectures but still many more things are there to learn.
I crossed the mark of chanting 16 rounds daily and it looked like my spiritual growth had a powerful
takeoff, but soon I realized I was defeated. From last few days I am unable to complete my daily rounds
due to health reasons, laziness and lack of time. You said My disciples should chant 16 rounds daily
whether they are in heaven or Hell. I am getting defeated again and again by Maya Devi in several ways
and my sadhana is following a sine wave. Kindly bless me with enough intelligence, strength, Krishna
prema and all that you think I need to be a sincere disciple of yours. Kindly forgive me for all the
vaishnava apradhas I have committed at your lotus feet and at other vaishnavas knowingly or
unknowingly. Also I request you to kindly request Krishna to settle our court case quickly so that we
can have you as the one and only one guru in Iskcon (if Krishna desires so), so that we dont waste our
energies thinking about the guru issues and get disturbed. Instead we spend our time and energy
cultivating knowledge and love for Krishna.
Once again I thank you very much for all that you have showered upon me Gurudeva.
Your Disciple and Servant of your Servant,

My dear Prabhupad,
Please accept my respectful obeisance unto your lotus feet. Even though I am a person with such deep

of gratitude for letting me to stay in your house. Please forgive for the offenses I might have committed

while discharging my duties because I am such a foolish person who does not know what to do and what
not to do. I beg for your mercy and please guide me and protect me from all those who will hinder my

Personality of Godhead.

Who has shown such a causeless mercy upon us by giving a Such a wonderful temple, Delicious Krishna

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!!!
Dear prabhupada,
Please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet, O Saviour of the Whole World.
Thank You for showing your causeless mercy on this fallen soul. It is by your special mercy that I got
this matchless gift of Krsna consciousness at the age 12. Since then, I am trying to follow your rules and
regulations.
Although I am failing every time you patiently pick me up and put me on this path once again. It is your
great benediction upon me for giving me Krishna conscious family and everyday Maha Prasadam, temple
association and the most important thing of all chanting Hare Krishna Maha Mantra. Your books and
your teachings are really enchanting and blissful. I got a book named Beyond Birth and Death which I
have read 16 times. Although I have read so many times still I find a new meaning again and again. It is
humble request that, you always keep me under your shelter and give strength to serve your mission
with 3 Ds:
Determination.
Dedication.
Discipline.
I dont have any qualification to glorify you or your pastimes. I take commitment that, I will stick to
chanting 16 rounds everyday and follow your instructions and serve your mission with utmost sincerity
and loyalty. I will try my level best to distribute your books.
Struggling to be your servant,

All glories to our Honorable and dear Spiritual Master.I was lying somewhere in the darkest world of
Ignorance, with people, who were very much ignorant about what is aim of life, what should we be
doing as humans, what are real problems of life and most importantly who never knew who is KRISHNA
and about his Divinity.
It is His Mercy that pulled me towards his instructions and towards Krishna though I'm not qualified for
that.I see many of my friends who are studying with me for years together in same school, college but
not bestowed with this sublime message of Lord Krishna. I am very much grateful to Srila Prabhupada
for choosing me. He is the one who has added meaning to my life. It's because of him today I can say I
belong to the most intelligent class of people (devotees of lord Krishna). It's his mercy that has given me
an opportunity to stay in FOLK hostel with the devotees, to hear about Krishna, to honor Krishna
Prasadam, to enjoy kirtans and many other things.It's from him I have learnt how to be really happy.
I thank Srila Prabhupada for mercifully giving me a chance to be part of his movement and I pray for his
help to become more and more sincere and hard working to understand Krishna and also to spread this
message to as many people as possible.

Krishna and Bhagawathgeetha.
Thankful my friend who bought me here and asked me to join (Flok-2) SOS1&2 than Ive been realized
the truth of once life.
Also Thankful to Prabhupada given us this wonderful opportunity to know about The Krishna

Jaya srila prabhupada,
All glories to srila prabhupad.
You are the founder acharya of ISKCON. By your causeless mercy only I have entered the right Iskcon
temple (Sri Radha Krishna Chandra Mandir). After entering into Iskcon, I got the right knowledge about
the supreme personality of godhead and his creation.
VyasaPuja2011

By listening to your lectures and reading books written by you, I realized the value of chanting,
importance of four regulative principles, observing fasting on ekadasi and attending morning sadhana
program.
I am such a fallen conditioned soul that even after realizing the value of spiritual life, I am not
implementing all the realizations that I got and following partially only to the extent of comfort zone.
But still you are showering your mercy upon me fully. Recent incident of my 18 months old son falling
from a great height and yet his speedy recovering process proved it as a miracle in my sons life. It would
not have been possible with out your mercy.
Respected guru maharaj I convey my thanks to you for showering your blessings on me and my family.
Yours disobedient disciple,
Ravikiran.
Bhakta Ravish Kumar C
Please accept my most respectful obeisances at the dust of Your lotus feet. All glories, all glories to Your
divine grace Srila Prabhupada!
Oh Srila Prabhupada, I would never have known my true identity as spirit soul, belonging to Krishna,
had it not been for You.
I offer my humble thanks, Srila Prabhupada for being in my life, Although I used to visit ISKCON
Bangalore occasionally, one particular visit on the occasion of Vaikuntha Ekadasi 2011 made a huge
change in my life .Now I am a life-member cum devotee and a regular visitor to ISKCON Bangalore at
Hare Krishna Hill.
As we are all so very thankful for the mercy of Srila Prabhupada, we should also be thankful for the
mercy of Srila Prabhupada, and beloved spiritual master in the parampara namely, Srila Bhaktisiddhanta
Sarasvati Thakura Thakura too. With the instructions received from Him, Srila Prabhupada delivered the
message of Lord Caitanya to the fallen souls across the world.
I have been regularly reading books written by Srila Prabhupada such as Message of Godhead,Laws of
Nature,Perfect Questions Perfect Answersetc, Srila Prabhupada was, among many other things, a
wonderful writer, speaker and a charismatic leader. Reading His books and listening, watching His
videos has bought so much change in my life and I m proud of being VAISHNAVA, a humble ISKCON
devotee.
I enjoy listening to kirtans and bhajans of all sorts, and have a very small library of devotee offerings of
music. I also enjoy finding various songs and prayers on the Internet. However, as much as I enjoy
listening to all of the new and various forms of devotional music, none of it compares to the older
recordings of Srila Prabhupada singing of prayers to Krsna
Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare
Sri Sri A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada is great Spiritual Master.
Because of him we are able to not follow sense gratification.
He had thought how to lead life.We can reduce our bad karma in day to day life by following his lesson.
Even I am not regular for the classes, his words still reminds me.

VyasaPuja2011

Murky and dark was my life like so many others before you blessed this fallen and conditioned soul and
provided a chance to understand the secret of life. Oh dear Spiritual Master I was so lost until I came
across the secret of life all of which, so elaborately and munificiently presented in your writings. Above
all the most important and sacred the Srimad Bhagavatam and Srimad Bhagvat Gita. On this day I feel
proud that I am atleast able to understand what is my constitutional position and how do we come out of
this encagement, is all made so easily accessible through your preachings.
Our most loved and the soul Diksha Guru of ISCKON I offer unto you all the respect and love for you
are the only medium to take us all, the most degraded and conditioned soul back to God Head.. On
this day I promise my self for your service for the service of Shri Shri Radha Krishna Chandra the
Supreme Personality of God Head in any form.
The mission of Lord Chaitanya Mahaprbhu shall be accomplished for it is due to his causeless mercy we
all are able to chant the holy names of the lord.
Oh Dear Spiritual Master please accept our love and be the burning candle of truth and wisdom in this
intimate darkness of this materially contaminated world. Give me your blessings to be able to chant the
holy names of the lord with firm determination and love for the Supreme Personality of God Head. Give
us the strength to be able to combat when the sea waves are most furious. On this day I offer a small
song dedicated to the Founder Acharya of ISCKON
Sie din kalo raat meghla aakash, aami bohe jetam jodi tumi tomar pada chaaye saran na dite..
eto bhalobasha gurudev chodiya gele ei prithivi te parbo ki nite
nije pada chawae sharan dio amare naam koribo Krishna samane.
Parbo na konodino tomar bhalbahsha phiriyedite, Krishna naam koribo raat aar dine..
Ei bhalobasha bajay rakhbo hridaye guru naam korbo tomari bijoye..
Translation
It was a dark and windy night I would have simply lost myself if you did not give shelter at your Lotus
feet. All the love that you have spread and given us hope we are able to reciprocate. Please keep us at the
service of your lotus feet for we shall chant the holy names of the Lord without fail. We shall never be
able equate our love with yours but shall offer our love unto you by chanting the holy names of the lord
day and night. We shall promise to keep this love safe in our custody and accept you only as my
Spiritual master and shall sing your names even after victory.
Your Servant,

I offer my humble obeisance unto you. Before coming to Krishna Consciousness I didn't know which

Hare Krishna,
This is Saibaba Gowd, before coming in touch with ISKCON, Bangalore I was addicted to Smoking,
Drinking and Internally I was having a feeling that how to get rid of this bad habits but I could not
control it because of My Mind is directing Me to Indulge in this activities and I became restless and
frustrated of this Habits, as a Human being I do not Know what is the Goal of a Life. Frankly speeking I
did not Know how to control My Mind and i became Fickle Minded and I was totally in Ignorance. I am
one of the Fortunate Person in the World that I came in touch with ISKCON, Bangalore By the Grace of
A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, I received the Nice Full time Devotees with the Association of
them I easily Abstained from Bad Habits and They not only made me come to my senses but also They
made me A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada's Disciple, I am very thankful to the ISKCON,
Bangalore full time Devotees, They are giving me Good Education which I have not Learnt from My
Parents. It is all because of Swami Prabhupada that i got Spiritual Knowledge.

Please accept my humble obeisance at your Lotus feet.
On the order of your spiritual master, you took up the mission of spreading Sri Chaitanya mahaprabhus
teachings to the whole world. It was only because of your compassion toward the conditioned souls that
you took up this mission at such a late stage of your life. The entire world got purified only because of
you.
There was a time when I didnt know what Bhakti is at all. Nor did I know who the Supreme Personality
of Godhead is. As you always say that all answers are there in your books, I first received your mercy
through your books (Vani). Then you mercifully brought me in touch with ISKCON Bangalore and your
representatives. You taught me the basic understanding of what is bhakti. Impressed with your
teachings, I continued associating with ISKCON Bangalore. With my little intellect, I was able to
understand the importance of regulative principles due to your mercy and gradually started to follow it
also. In a short period of time, you helped me to chant the prescribed 16 rounds and Ive been able to
chant the same ever since. Not only on me you have bestowed mercy, but it has extended to my parents
also, now that I am able to practice KC even at home.
I will not be able to pay this. Please help me surrender completely unto you. Please guide me in which
ever way you think is suitable for me to serve your mission. Thank you for allowing such an offensive
person like myself to be your instrument. Please accept this small offering at your Lotus feet on this
occasion of your Vyasa Puja.

It was 15th of August 2010, when i came in touch of Youth Programs organized by Iskcon, Bangalore.
That was the first day when i got the real association of Lord Sri Krishna & His devotees. Slowly and
slowly i started practicing Krishna Consciousness. Before I was aimless, just flowing with the blow of
wind. But after practically following the KC, i started feeling blissfulness in my life.
It is always a great pleasure for me to attend FOLK classes, attending Mangala Arati, dancing in Shayana-
Pallaki arati, getting association of devotees and eating Prasadam.
We have got a beautiful temple in the form of ISKCON, Bangalore. The temple is huge. Its floors are
probably the cleanest among all other temples we have got beautiful deities in the form of Lord Radha
Krishna-chandra, Lord Nitai-Gauranga, and Lord Krishna-Balaram. The drinking water tastes like a
nectar. We have very comfortable amenities including AC's or seating arrangements. On top of that we
have very humble devotees guided by very strong MPP Prabhu & CPP Prabhu.
But the architect of all the aforesaid things is only one person. A man who does not want any personal
benefits, who does not want any fame, who is truly happy seeing others happy, who is the Perfect guide
for directing towards the real aim of life, who sleeps hardly few hours to compile the great literary
works, who can build more than 108 temples in just 10 years around the globe, who can have millions of
billions of followers, who makes the spiritual journey very convenient with his logics & Lord Sri
Krishna's mercy.
He is my LORD, birth after birth. He is our spiritual master, our Aacharyadeva Abhaya Charanavrinda
Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada. The rays of hope that i see in my life is the mercy of my Acharya
Deva. Whenever i climb the staircase of the temple, i feel greatly indebted towards our GURU since the
whole ISKCON temple exists due to the mercy of our GURUDEVA.
For some time, i started taking things for granted. I felt that temple will be always there, Prasadam will
always be there. Hopefully, it'll be there, but whom we should thank for all these, whom we should
thank for FOLK? If my Gurudeva would not have been there, i would have continued staying in the
gutter, eating spoiled food & roaming aimlessly.
The reason for me writing this is my GURUDEVA Srila PRABHUPADA. Although these words are very
insignificant in terms of indebtedness & impact that Srila Prabhupada has created in our life, i would
like to say again & again...THANK YOU SRILA PRABHUPADA.

Please accept my humble obeisance unto Your lotus feet
I consider myself to be very fortunate to have got Your special mercy. I did not possess any qualities that
a devotee should have, but still You gave me this sublime knowledge (When there were 100 Crores of
people to choose from). I am eternally indebted to You.
My reverence to You increased a thousand times after recent Puri trip. I couldnt believe I was there
hugging the Lord, never had I dreamt of touching the Lord. It was only possible because of You, Srila
Prabhupada.You fulfilled my desire (which I had never dreamt).This incident was really something I will
never forget.
After the trip, I met with a Car accident; I once thought (while sitting inside car) I have no chance to
survive this. But as destiny (Your desire) would have I escaped with some minor bruises on my body. I
firmly believe that it was only Lord Krishnas and Your mercy.
The word merciful in English means "Unwilling to give pain", but You are so merciful that You dont
want to see any living entity suffer from pain. I sometimes wonder How do You accept us even after we
commit so many (countless) offenses. I guess that is the reason it is said causeless mercy, there is no
cause (reason) for Your mercy. Thanks Srila Prabhupada.
You mentioned that your pathway has become filled with stumbling blocks, but there are no stumbling
blocks, I can kick out all those stumbling blocks immediately, provided you accept my guidance. With
one stroke of my kick I can kick out all stumbling blocks.(Prabhupada letter to Krishna Dasa 9th
September, 1972)
These days, my consciousness has become fully turbulent, but I beg You, Srila Prabhupada to give me
enough intelligence, strength and determination that I never go out of Krishna Consciousness. Srila
Prabhupada, please kick all my stumbling blocks on this path of Spiritual life and make me an eternal
servant at your lotus feet.
I humbly request You, that every new disciple who joins Iskcon be Your Divine Graces disciple, thereby
saving their spiritual life. We dont need any more bogus Gurus to rise in Your (our) Iskcon.
I also request that the devotees who are following Your divine instructions be given all protection and
the fight that had started to bring back the glory of Iskcon, when Your Divine Grace was personally
present on this world be won.
Thanks Srila Prabhupada for Your causeless mercy on this insignificant soul.

Im a fallen soul wandering in this material world, driven by the modes of material nature.
but since i have tasted a small drop of the nectar of krishna consciousness, i realize how pleasurable it is.
Im right now into medical profession doing my post graduation in MD pediatrics. life is quite hectic and
im in the midst of karmis who are very passionate to do something good for the patients but are least
bothered about the ultimate purpose of life.
I wish that one day i should become a pure devotee of Krishna and also serve Prabhupada well. to help
Prabhupada's movement grow. So i beg to Srila Prabhupada to give me shelter under his lotus feet, and
not to let me down. And to always remind me about krishna and chant his holy names.

Dear beloved Prabhupada,
Thank you for choosing me for Krishna Consciousness from crores of people. Two years back I was in so
much distress, I didnt know the value of life. After you came in my life I have understood the purpose of
the life. Because of your mercy, I got an opportunity to stay in folk hostel. I am getting prasadam,
devotees association. I was very pleased to fight against the people who are misusing the Krishna
consciousness movement. I felt very happy when you saved the Iskcon Bangalore from the dangerous
position, which was created by Iskcon Mumbai people. In every step you are saving the devotees of
Iskcon Bangalore which is unimaginable.
Also keep us serving your lotus feet as per your instructions and please give us the strength not to
deviate from this. Also please forgive me, if I have committed any offenses against the devotees
knowingly or unknowingly. Please give me the right perception to understand your instructions and
please give me enough strength to follow your instructions.

You are the captain of this ship sailing in this material ocean. You have promised us that you will take us
all to our destination. Let me just go back to the old days when I was rowing in my own little boat not
knowing which direction to row and most importantly why I am rowing. Probably seeing others rowing
their boats I also started rowing. But like the majority of others I was rowing towards the nearest floating
attraction that I found tossing in the waters, not realising that it is never going to satisfy me. The
moment I reached the object I realised it was gone, the pleasure derived from it was just momentary, but
I still kept on rowing day and night towards the next destination terribly tormented by the rough waters.
At times others supported and gave advices saying the object over the horizon in that direction can give
more pleasure and it is easier to reach. At time I agreed to their advices at times I rejected them getting
attached to few fellow boatmen in the process. But ultimately tired of all the frustration hopelessly I
cried to the one who had put me in to this miserable ocean to take me back, to relieve of this pain, since
I had given hope of getting out myself.
One fine day I saw a huge ship appearing in the horizon and when it came near, I could read the name
ISKCON written in big capitals and its captain an old man in a simple Vaishnava attire calling out to all
VyasaPuja2011

of us in the waters to get into his ship. I could see how happy its crew were and they were all dancing in
ecstasy to the tunes of a song that went like HARE KRISHNA HARE KRISHNA KRISHNA KRISHNA
HARE HARE HARE RAMA HARE RAMA RAMA RAMA HARE HARE.
I wanted to join them too but didnt know how to get in and I waved and yelled to the captain from the
waters below. His merciful glance fell on me and he sent a boat down to get me. The crew who came
down were requesting all of us to get in, pleading to us trying to tell us how precautious place this ocean
is. But obsessed with the daily rowing and enjoying the fleeting pressures of the waters not many were
willing to board the ship amongst all other crew. The world I saw there was totally different. I saw true
happiness reflecting in every one aboard the ship. The captains daily lectures opened my eyes and I
began to lament the years I wasted the waters rowing directionless. The daily program of worshipping
our creator and chanting his holy names gave me peace and tranquillity. The joy of serving others and
the captain and getting more and more lost souls aboard the ship kept me happily busy.
Im not in a position to back my captain for anything that he had done. But let me pray to him to keep
practicing his instructions and keep remembering my lord always. Bless me Srila Prabhupad that I dont
deviate from our teachings and I become a good instrument in your hands to fulfil your mission.

My Dear Spiritual master His Divine grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada,
Please accept this fallen souls obeisances unto your lotus feet.
Its by the grace of Krsna I have got your association so I am trying to follow your words in my daily life.
Actually I dont have any qualification or any pious credits from my side. Its through Krsnas Grace &
your uncountable mercy I got yourself. With your help and instructions by your words, I got chance to
cross over this material world.
Actually I am so fallen that I dont have rights to think or utter Krsnas names but you took your spiritual
masters words (as your life and soul )to spread Lord Chaithanya Mahaprabhu missions to entire world
with hari nama ( Sankirtana yajna), and gave this easiest method to reach Krsna .
I got your association long back when this Sri Radha Krsna Chandra mandir opened, and a few months
later by your book named Life comes from Life. Now I feel what that book meant in my life, I got (my
spiritual life started) life from your great book by association.
I chanted Krsnas holy name casually, but Krsna accepted even that and He gave a chance to get your
association through your books & later on through devotees who follow your words (ISKCON
BANGALORE DEVOTEES), through which I am able to make some progress. I have full faith that I will
be able to do whatever service I can render unto your lotus feet by your words. So I can do, but without
your mercy I cant do anything. Now I am able to write this letter because of your mercy, if not I
wouldnt have gotten this chance to render service unto you & Krsna.
VyasaPuja2011

As per scriptures & your teachings I came to know that by rendering service to devotees, a person will
get association of spiritual master & Krsna. I am rendering small service (seva) like what the squirrel
performed for Lord Sri Ramachandra as per its capacity. So I am ready to render any kind of service to
yourself & Sri Radha Krishna.
I am trying to please you through this letter; it is like a childs crying to call his mother and father. Please
accept this fallen souls prayers.
I am writing this letter without any ability to write, begging for your mercy to render service unto
yourself. I pray that I dont get ego at any point of time or get puffed up that I am great. Please, guide me
so that I wont become puffed by false ego.
Trying to please you & begging for your mercy for ever,
Sathyanarayana

Hare Krishna,
I read Srila Prabhupadas book THE PATH OF PERFECTION , I really inspired by reading that book.
After reading that book , I have changed a lot that even I can not believe .I am the one you is much
interested in taking meat.
I am taking meet 15 times in a week. After reading that book I have completely left eating meat. Why
you know eating meat is a type of Karma, Buying meat, selling meat Offering meat all these are Karma.
Not only this I feel that after reading that book Prabhupada itself is teachi9ng me , the way of
meditation , the way of preaching God (Krishna ), All these things I learned from Prabhupada.
He is the right for Kali Yuga , I have dream that I have to do one of the activity of Prabhupadas that
Distributing books . After reading the books of Prabhupada , I really felt that I am new to this earth
. So Prabhupada is powerful person to me and the people also. He is Powerful , powerful Guru in this
Kali Yuga. One book that has really changed my entire life , Do not think that this is a dialogue , What I
wrote that is really true.
I have dream that I want to tell this truth , that he is guru and I want give all the book of Prabhupada to
normal people to study. I Love Prabhuapada because the moment I read the book , I am new born baby
on to this earth .

My dear beloved spiritual master,
Please accept my humble obeisance at your lotus feet. Srila Prabhupada I with all my defects, impurities,
contaminations feel deeply unqualified and incapable in this endeavor to glorify your Divine Grace.
Its my great fortune that you have bestowed your causeless mercy of showing the path to Krishna on
this fallen conditioned soul entrapped by the strong shackles of Maya.
Time and again I have received your instruction and guidance in the form of timeless, infallible
knowledge from your books when I wanted them the most. They have cleared the misconceptions from
my heart, removed the ignorance and helped me steer ahead with confidence and assurance. This is only
possible because your instructions in the form of razor sharp words cut the strongest knots of material
attachments.
On this auspicious and momentous occasion I feel extremely indebted to you and beg you to kindly
engage me somehow at the service of your lotus feet so that I never fall victim to my senses and
remember Krishna by chanting attentively the holy name, reading your divine books and taking
association of senior devotees in this mission.
Please forgive offenses I have committed at your lotus feet and give me the intelligence and strength to
be part of your divine movement and serve the mission full time with all my limitations and
disqualifications.
Begging to remain under the shelter of your lotus feet.
Your Servant

On this auspicious appearance day of Your Divine Grace, I would like to take the opportunity to offer
my gratitude towards you. Srila Prabhupada, you definitely possess transcendental qualities being the
only pure devotee of the Lord in the present age of Kali Yuga. It is said that in Srimad Bhagavatam,
"Even the most intelligent person cannot understand the plan and activities of a pure devotee". Even in
the ordinary standards of material calculation, my intelligence, abilities, words are very limited.
Definitely I will fail to express my appreciation and gratitude to glorify a personality of your kind. Yet I
am making a little attempt to do so. By my very nature I speak very less, my vocabulary is very limited.
Hence I beg for your forgiveness as this offering of mine is not adequate to explain your transcendental
position.
Since the early days of my childhood, I have been keen observer of nature. During my vacations, I used
to sit outside in lawn at night gazing at the celestial planets, stars and moon. Sometimes I used to
wonder how all this creation came into existence. Some questions I use to ponder, "Why nature creates,
and then destroy its own creation, of which we are also part of it? So there was a longing desire to know
the mysteries of nature. What happens just moments after death and many such questions? As years
passed by, my interest in science grew very much. I developed a firm faith that by logic, reasoning and
scientific study we can understand the mysteries of nature. On the contrary at later stages, I became
more and more entangled with material science so much that I lost the original purpose with which I
approached it. Somewhere within myself I felt a sense of dissatisfaction with this science. It does not
explain everything of this nature.
At final stages of my academic career I started exploring religious text out of some curiosity. After
spending lot of time collecting information from various resources in internet, I became more interested
to know the old Vedic culture. Some concepts were simple to comprehend. Yet there were some deep
spiritual concepts, which I could not relate it to the modern science. So after finishing college I started
VyasaPuja2011

listening to various discourses in TV etc. But none of them were impressive. Somewhere I felt deep in my
heart that to understand spiritual matters we need a Sadhu of the caliber of the sages present in the
Vedic times like VedaVyasa, Narada, Vasishtha etc. I thought it was next to impossible that I could really
meet such personality in present times.
Fortunately one day I came across a website with some selected books written by Your Divine Grace. I
started exploring various books and felt that even spiritual subjects are also scientific and did not arise
out of mental speculation. Two years ago, one of my colleagues invited me to join FOLK looking at my
interest in spiritual knowledge. After reading your books, listening lectures, association with your
sincere devotees in temple and temple activities, I have benefitted a lot. My understanding about
spiritual topics is becoming clearer day by day. Also I am able to see the scientific approach in your
teachings which impresses me very much.
Sometimes I think, what would be the experience if I had personally met you? Many devotees who have
had this opportunity to associate personally with you have deviated from the basic principles and never
understood you except in ISKCON Bangalore temple. Considering this I feel meeting you personally
might not have impacted me so much as Your Transcendental teachings. You and Lord only know what
is good for us. I am grateful to you for providing the opportunity for me to associate with your sincere
devotees. You saved me from approaching unauthorized spiritualists.
It was because of you that I developed firm faith and conviction in Lord Krishna. Also I am grateful to
you that you have mercifully empowered me to chant 16 rounds of Hare Krishna Mahamantra from the
last one and a half years. I personally feel I don't deserve it due to my inner impurity. But I have firm
faith in you and the chanting process can purify our contaminated consciousness. With that I hope I am
trying to follow you. I feel grateful to your sincere devotees who have given the facility of ISKCON
Bangalore temple for us to experience real spiritual bliss. Again I beg your kindness, as I am unable to
properly express my gratitude towards you.

His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, you have given me the transcendental
knowledge to lead a proper life and become successful. Otehrwise, I frankly admit that I would have
degraded to sinful life for sense enjoyment. I dont think I could have understood about life, purpose of
creation and the Supreme Personality of Godhead by my own efforts; though I had heard of Lord
Krishnas pastimes without knowing that, Vasudeva is everything.
Everything that I am able to relate to Krishna is only because of your mercy, and if anyone acknowledges
that I am doing something good or showing a good character, it is all because of your teachings and
mercy.

You are the one who showed us the way Back to Godhead. You gave us the books to understand

us, I surely know I cant repay you anything, so please engage in the service of the Lord and you and
offer myself tp Lord. I am so poor that I have no words to describe your causeless mercy O Prabhupada!
You are so merciful that you are always correcting my mistales and directing me towards path of

Life was never the same after I came in touch with this splendid Krishna Consciousness movement. I
consider myself very fortunate that you have glanced on an insignificant being like me. The knowledge
which you are offering is sure to liberate every conditioned soul from the material world. It is only
because of you that I have realized the real meaning of my life and my duty towards the Supreme
Personality of Godhead, Sri Krishna.
You have given us an invaluable gift of leading a Krishna Conscious life. Your teachings are as divine as
yourself and it is only by your mercy that I was able to receive such benediction. Only a pure devotee
like you can fulfill all my spiritual desires that I was devoid of, due to my association with matter. Your
teachings are par beyond any mundane knowledge in this universe. As you always make a mention in
your teachings that your greatest contribution to the humanity is your books, which indeed are the
pillars for the spiritual perfection, and I solely rely on them to relish your association.
I am experiencing immense satisfaction in the devotional services that you have put forth and have
understood that there is no service better than serving the Lotus feet of Guru and Krishna. Although
unqualified, I have a strong conviction to serve you and your mission to the fullest of my capacity. I only
desire to act in the manner that is pleasing to Krishna and nothing else.
I pray to your Lotus feet to protect me from the onslaughts of maya and give me the strength to
overcome all the obstacles that I may face in devotional service. Please engage me in distributing this
precious knowledge to the world and give me the necessary knowledge, if you so desire. Be kind to
continue showering your blessings and show me the path to perfection.

This is my first letter to your lotus feet and would like to continue forever. Please accept the same.
I am very contaminated and fallen soul but still having lots of Krishna mercy on me. This is because you
have given your transcendental knowledge via ISKCON, Your books and your devotees. I have been
touch with ISKCON for last 10 years but my last 1 year journey was great. Because Your are very kind on
me, I could get chance to do service, chant the holy name of maha mantra HARE KRISHNA HARE
KRISHNA KRISHNA KRISHNA HARE HARE, HARE RAM HARE RAM RAM RAM HARE HARE,
reading Krishna books and had overall progress in spiritual path. Definitely telling Thanks is not the
correct and complete word and I believe in this life I will not able to get appropriate word also. To please
you, please give me blessing so that I could continue and be progressive in devotional path to serve
Krishna forever.
Please accept my koti koti pranam on Your lotus feet.

Dear Prabhapad,
I came in touch with iskcon when a school friend of mine invited me for'art of mind control' program.
I was very much captivated by the matter as well as the presentation. YR-1 and 2 were more illuminating
and provoked my curiosity. I was eager to know about the man behind all these magic.
I was awestruck when I came to know that it was you who had transformed the hearts of millions
around the world and had made thousands serious enough to dedicate their lives for propagation of
Krsna conciousness.
I found your conversations with scientists and other high-minds of the world inspiring and heroic. I
initially thought this philosophy couldn't be much deep. I thought how much possibly can these
foreigners understand about the vedic way of life. It was then that I started hearing your lectures. I was
again in for a pleasant surprise as I found the philosophy best among all that I had ever heard or
deliberated about. You had demolished all the biased discourses I had ever heard about God.
I was shocked to have not found any references unto your historical feats in any of my school text books
or by any of my teachers.
Your achievements , morale and teachings seemed much exalted than all the advises and biographies of
different people i had come across.
Throughout my life I always searched for that one person whom i can trust for life , who is worth giving
up everything for, someone whose attitude and views are eternal and not subjected to mutabe
surrounding environments . In this whole wide world I could find none other than You who is worthy of
all worship and trust . Your kind compassionate dealings with your disciples were touching . Since my
childhood I had deep tendancy to glorify someone to the full extent. Ignorant of the truth I used to end
up glorifying my teachers, sometimes friends or parents. I was always dissappointed to see after
sometime that they did not deserve such appreciation. I finally realised that You are much more than
worthy of all the glorification I can evermuster through my limited intelligence and broken knowledge.
In the beginning I could not practice your instructions on a whole because of my unnecessary
attachments. I was looking for open spaces in thephilosophy to fit in my perverted viewpoints and
opinions. But slowly by your grace I got attached to your books. Your books were so potent that they
just one by one severed most of the hard knots that were tormenting in my heart. Then I experienced the
actual freedom, the freedom from the cluthces of my own mind.
I have to accept I am still under the control of my mind but I can see that I am slowly coming out of it. I
am sure that if I persevere one day by your causeless mercy I will completely come out of its control.
You mercifully introduced me to Krsna - The Supreme Personality of Godhead and the origin of all that
be. You taught me that He conformed to all the descriptions and definitions one can give for God. Slowly
without my notice my life completely transformed.
I remember that I many a times during my school days used to invite my friend to my house. But they
never obliged and expected good entertainment and reception. But when I invited Krsna in my life I was
in a distressful condition and nor did I have any devotion to please him . But because of Your causeless
mercy, Krsna was brought into my life. Today my room is full of Krsna's photos , my mobile is replete
with songs glorifying Guru and Krsna, my computer carries only those accessories which can be used for
Your service. Who can be a better friend than Krsna? And who can be worthier object of service than
Your Divine Grace?! By your mercy today Krsna hasbegun to penetrate into my activities, my words and
also into my mind.
I greatly appreciate all the festivals and cultural programs conducted by Isckon , Bangalore . They are
magnificent and inspiring . then imbue in my enthusiasm to progess more and more in spiritual life. My
advances in this line raised many eyebrows in my relative and friend circles. But these impediments only
seem to be increasing my attachment towards Iskcon. The two spiritual trips I attended gave me a great
VyasaPuja2011

insight and practical experience of the blissful spiritual life beyond mere eating , sleeping , mating and
defending.
I think the very important lesson which I learnt from Your teachings was the common sense which I
greatly lacked in my life. Today I am much peaceful and strong than I ever was in my life. I pity all those
souls who have still not been able to accept Your teachings having been the victims of mindless rumours
spread about Iskcon by senseless people.
I hope I will never go away from the shelter of your Lotus feet Your Divine Grace. I think all the
glorification I delineated above will be erased from my mind the moment.
You take back Your mercy. I hence beg You and put forth my humble request at Your lotus feet . I am an
ignorant child born in darkness of material nescience and bound by the clutches
of maya. I am sure to commit offences. But You are my eternal father. So I reverently beg for Your
causeless mercy upon me. Please let me always remember that it is solely Your causeless mercy that is
keeping me in this path. I beg you to please chastise me and bring me back under the shelter of Your
lotus feet in case I deviate from Your service out of ignorance driven by lust and greed. Let me always
seek Your mercy and loose all the hopes of enjoyment in the material world.
ALL GLORIES TO SRILA PRABHUPAD !!

Please accept my humble obeisances to your lotus feet.
Hare Krishna Prabhupada!
Thank you for blessing this unworthy servant of yours with Krishna conciousness.
As far as my knowledge I have tried not to commit any Vaishnava apparadhas.
I have strictly followed the regulative principles from the day I have taken to Krishna conciousness
seriously. I am trying to forget the source of my Krishna conciousness and fully submurge in rendering
service to your lotous feet, please help me to forget if you so disire. As you know in the name of parents I
have got two demons that are disturbing my services, please help me to survive from their hands. Thank
you for every thing which you have provided to this servant. Please give me shelter of your lotus feet if
you so desire.

Society for Krishna consciousness and built huge 108 temples where the whole world can come and
stay. You are the Real Acharya, who teaches by his own example.
You have helped so many fallen souls by taking them to Krishna Consciousness which is eternal
happiness. You showed us how to love God, worship God, and render service unto Him. Srila
Prabhupada you are Guru of the whole world. You taught us the aim of the life to attain love of
Godhead. You gave us a process by chanting the Holy name by which we can go back home, Back to
Godhead. You wrote more than 80 volumes of books day and night, so that in future we can make use of
that and progress in Krishna Consciousness.

Dear Prabhupada,
I am unable to glorify you by these blunt senses, but by your grace I am able to express some words.
You have taken so many foolish and ignorant persons and made them devotees of the Lord. I am one
among them. Only by your vibrational presence immense of conditional souls come to the point of
understanding God consciousness. Your instructions are unparalleled.
My humble request is always be merciful onto me & give me the shade of your lotus feet which will
make me eligible to become eternal servant of Lord Krishna, which is the only highest goal of my life.
Thanks Prabhupada
Yours sincere disciple

Dear Srila prabhupada,
I thank you for taking me out of darkest region by opening my eyes with the torch of spiritual
knowledge. It is by your mercy that I was saved from the greatest danger of material world and got to
know the real goal of life.
As I am very fallen and insignificant not even knowing any of the spiritual knowledge, by the grace of
your teachings that are emanated from your lotus mouth, and I am trying to obtain the absolute truth.It
is by your mercy that this conditioned soul is able to chant the holy names of the lord and able to
perceive the transcendental knowledge of the supreme.
Prabhupada you have saved me many times from my falling into the material attractions. Prabhupada
you have told that, you will be pleased by distributing your books, and I am trying to please you through
that way for your mercy.
Prabhupada, it is not possible for me to understand Krishna without you as a medium.
Prabhupada, please be merciful so that I can listen to your lectures ever day apart from chanting. Please
shower your mercy that I will always remember you which can only help me to remember Krishna
always. JAI PRABHUPADA! JAI JAI PRABHUPADA!

Hare Krishna,
His Divine Grace A.C.Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada has changed my life. Because of him I chant
Hare Krishna Maha Mantra everyday; my life becomes more valuable than ever because of him.
Whenever I have a problem I get guidance from him through his books, videos & his disciples in
ISKCON Bangalore. He taught me how to remember always Krishna whenever problem comes,
happiness comes. He makes my life to handle any situation in a simple way.
VyasaPuja2011

When I read Bhagavad-Gita As It Is by Srila Prabhupada, it changes my view of life, world, people &
everything in different dimension. I am advancing
more & more spiritually by reading Bhagavad-Gita As it is daily.
Everyday I read his book & get one solution of my life. Also I get closer and more understanding about
him & Krishna. Nowadays whatever problem comes, I first pray to Prabhupada and Krishna. Its
wonderful way to like the spiritual life.
Because of him everyday I am doing sadhana in FOLK hostel and getting advanced in spiritual life a little
bit. He is bonafide Spiritual master, Acharya and a pure devotee of Krishna. I learn a lot of things from
his books and in ISKCON Bangalore. He teaches me whats my goal of life, how a human should live,
what work to do & not to do. It adds more & more value to my life.
Finally I understand in my life friends, wealth & name can come and go. But very important to me is
Srila Prabhupada, Krishna & valuable teachings of Srila Prabhupada from his books.
Thanks & Regards

It is really difficult for an ordinary mundaner like me to understand what the actual position of a pure
devotee is. The pastimes that you had exhibited in the short period in this material world is something
not really understandable by ordinary people like me. The standard Vedic statements which we keep
listening in our temple is that it is very difficult to understand the pastimes of a pure devotee of the
Lord.
yra citte ka-prem karaye udaya tra vkya, kriy, mudr vijeha n bujhaya
Even the most learned man cannot understand the words, activities and symptoms of a person situated
in love of Godhead.
Even from the mundane platform one cannot estimate how extraordinary the pastimes of the pure
devotees of the lord are. From the puranas and other great epics following are some of the extraordinary
pastimes of pure devotees.
Hanumanji lifted the entire sanjeevini mountain
Hanumanji came to the rescue of Lakshmanji, incarnation of Ananth Sesa!!
Garuda carries Shri Maha Vishnu On whom the entire material creation (Mahat tattva) rests
On the order of Varaha Deva Garuda carried the entire Kridadhri mountains (simhachala to
Thirumala) onto the earthly planet.
Maharaj Priyavrata went on a brilliant chariot that followed the Orbit of Sun-god and gave
daylight to that part of UNIVERSE where it is dark. He created the seven islands just by the
movement of his chariot.
Pracetas just by their angeremittedFireandAirthatburntalmostallthetreesontheearth
While the aforementioned pastimes are definitely celebrated and most auspicious to listen about, the
pastimes of spiritual master, the external manifestation of Chaitya Guru i.e., Paramatma is something
really unimaginable to us.
Even though possessing such unimaginable spiritual and material powers, it is also just unimaginable for
me as to how you could even tolerate your body being poisoned by ordinary mundaners. You could if
required retaliate them yourself, you neednt ask for any external help, for Krishna is your property. I
really cant understand the specific mood that caused you to not react, even in the most trying
VyasaPuja2011

circumstances. For people like me who are deeply engrossed in the bodily concept of life, definitely it is
surprising to note how rules enshrined in Manusamhita on Pratikara, can be easily ignored by
transcendentalists. The mundaners who poisoned you should definitely be considered as agressors and
the authorized pratikara (counteraction) is to kill them. But some how you have not done it, perhaps to
set yet another example of how to be Krishna Conscious even in situations that provoke utmost anxiety.
A few months back I had come across following statements given by you on the position of a spiritual
master in Srimad Bhagavatam in discussion between the Old Brahmana and Queen Puranjani:
The Supersoul has always been ready to help the living entity, even before the creation of this
material world. It is therefore stated here: yengre vicacartha. The word agre means "before the
creation." Thus the Supersoul has been accompanying the living entity since before the creation
(SB 4.28.52 p)
The Paramtm is always the caitya-guru, the spiritual master within, and He comes before one
externally as the instructor and initiator spiritual master. The Lord can reside within the heart,
and He can also come out before a person and give him instructions. Thus the spiritual master is
not different from the Supersoul sitting within the heart. (SB 4.28.52p)
Since Ka is the supreme father, His affection for the living entity is eternal. When the living
entity falls down into the material world, the Supreme Lord, through His sva expansion
(Paramtm), keeps company with the living entity. In this way the living entity may someday
return home, back to Godhead. (SB 4.28.53p)
However, when the living entity wants to enjoy himself, he falls down into the material world.
Even while he is in that position, the Lord remains with him as the Supersoul, his intimate
friend. Because of his forgetfulness, the living entity does not know that the Supreme Lord is
accompanying him as the Supersoul. In this way the living entity remains conditioned in each
and every millennium. Although the Lord follows him as a friend, the living entity, because of
forgetful material existence, does not recognize Him. (SB 4.28.54p)
Actually, it is Ka who personally advises all living entities to return home, back to Godhead.
Sometimes Ka sends His representative, who, delivering Ka's very message, canvasses all
living entities to return home, back to Godhead. (SB 4.28.55p)
An analysis of the aforementioned statements I, with my limitations, understood as follows:
Spiritual Master is an incarnation of Paramatma
He is definitely a manifestation of Caitya-Guru aspect of Paramatma
Like Paramatma had been eternally waiting for the Jiva to look at him and follow his
instructions, Spiritual master also is patiently waiting and always trying to rescue the Jiva
Even though the Jiva doesnt recognize his presence for really long time, he still keeps
accompanying him. In mundane world we reject a friend as soon as we start seeing that he is not
in line with our expectation. In contrast here we see how great your position is, you have been
looking at us with utmost affection even though we dont look at you. If you look at our
qualification, there is no reason for you to wait for us, but because of your unlimited compassion
you are still waiting.
Since your vision so unaffected by any kind of material tinge and filled with affection for Jivas, it
is for sure that only you can be called as spiritual master
Your action of compassion to even agressors, traitors, betrayers, gurudrohis etc is really something
unimaginable and not understandable by me. Perhaps I may appreciate your position of genuine
compassion for the Jivas in the bodily concept of life, only when I cultivate to have at least a drop of
your krpaambhudhi.
VyasaPuja2011

O My Lord! May I humbly pray that I be given sufficient intelligence to understand your eternal
transcendental pastimes and may I also pray that I be firmly fixed in your service and be given sufficient
intelligence to execute your service for eternity.
Though I am always in my self-centric proud consciousness, you had been mercifully chastising me
regularly and bringing me to my senses, I always pray that such chastisement continue on me. That is
the real benediction, for I dont see in what way I, as a modern kaliyuga sudra, can do a good service, to
your lotus feet.

I thank you Srila Prabhupada because of your instructions, teaching & mercy I got the object & real
meaning of this human form of life.
You are the only Guru in this world whose teaching is transcendental & delivered as it is spoken by
Supreme Personality of Godhead, Krishna.
By following your instructions, millions & millions of people are becoming eligible to go back to
Godhead.
You are the only Guru in this age who gives the spiritual knowledge with scientific explanation through
your books & institutions and making it easy to understand even for a layman.
Last but not the least I beg at your lotus feet for my spiritual advancement. O! My spiritual master,
please bless me, so that I can improve my spiritual knowledge.
I will increase my service to lotus feet of Krishna which will be the part of your mission.

Hare Krishna,
I would like to convey my love, bhakti, obesiences & gratitude to lotus feet of our savior Srila
Prabhupada, on the occasion of Srila Vyasa Puja.I will be always graceful to you, because it is only by
your mercy I am into Krishna consciousness.
O spiritual master, you have bestowed mercy on this fallen soul by empowering me with the torch of
knowledge, which always prevails over the darkness of ignorance.
O lord, you have shown us a way, how to get rid of mayas clutches & how to go back to supreme abode
of lord Krishna via hare Krishna mama mantra, devotional service & bhakti to lord Krishna.
These small offerings from me is not enough & sufficient to praise your activities, but still I would beg
you to accept my gratitude & always guide me, never leave me even once, because I am a small child
who is learning to walk in this spiritual platform & I m always dependent on you & Krishna.
Thank you, Hare Krishna

Dear Prabhupada,
You are very soft and humble. Yoy have a very divine appearance. Your preaching of Krishna is realy
humbling and very sweet to my ear. It gives out the essence of being a devotee and what a devotee is.

Your voice with full of sweetness, and when it falls on ones ears it is very heartening and divine.
Your eyes are filled with nectar like water.
I believe if we follow you, we can clearly see and know Krishna through you.
Thank you for guiding us, thank you for giving us chanting of the holy name.
Thank you for showing us the path of devotion, the path to become devotee and guiding us to Krishna.

I am very much thankful to you. As the above sloka says i am in the darkest ignorance and so much dull
minded, you have given the vision to see the world as it is by little devotional service to KRSNA. Please
guide me to do more and more devotional service, so that i may please you more and come out from the
darkest region of the world. Please forgive my mistakes made in your service and guide me to render
more service. Please guide me in my day to day life and make me perfect in sadhana.
Your Insignificant menial servent,

All Glories unto You only, Please accept my impure and insincere obeisances.
Yes, Srila Prabhupad, this is the continuation of my shamelessness acts from previous year to this year.
There is not even a tinge of improvement in my Krishna Consciousness. This only demonstrates my
insincerity and lack of surrender once again to you and your dear Lord, Krishna-chandra. As a chaitya-
guru or the manifestation of the Paramatma, You know all my carelessness in following your
instructions. Dogs would have been more loyal. Am worse than that.
O Prabhupad, over the last year by your pure mercy, Ive got some service opportunities to preach
more to the outside world and also to younger devotees. Plain truth is that Ive utterly failed in making
this order from you successful. Ive done these services with so many impurities like, seeking name and
fame, with much lust, anger, and greed in my service. You certainly know it and am not at all bluffing.
The only hope for me to get out of this fear of disrespecting you from not doing your service properly is,
again your causeless mercy. Am very much sure that many people coming into KC would be been
thwarted by my impurity.
Also, Prabhupada, more than this, Ive certainly disrespected many many senior Vaishnavas on
Facebook when we were fighting against the bogus guru system recently. I was very much intolerant,
been aggressive and have abused people, the sole reason only being that they have caused you much
pain by destructing your gift this society, ISKCON, virtually. Almost in many places, the dislike against
Iskcon has come only due to the usurping of your position by bogus fraudsters and doing all the non-
sense sense gratification. This has brought huge infamy to your movement and this was not tolerable for
all of us at Iskcon Bangalore. And as we are all praying and yet fighting, if you desire, please do not let
this temple go into the poisonous hands of the bogus-Iskcon. This Iskcon Bangalore chapter is the only
hope for a pure Iskcon, the kind of Iskcon thatexisted when you were physically there. Still you are
there with us, as the most merciful guide, master, in your books and most significantly in our hearts.
VyasaPuja2011

So, kindly, if you so desire, pardon me for offending your devotees, disciples. My only anger against
them was that outrightly they are offending you and killing your hard built movement. But am ready to
go to hell and eternally suffer for this, provided you guide me and give me shelter.
I beg you a million times to provide more and more strength along with protection to your sincere
devotee warriors at Iskcon Bangalore to remove the corruption of the highest kind in Iskcon.
Please provide me more intelligence to understand your teachings more and guide me so that I can
practise them more rigidly. You have all the liberty to punish me fully Prabhupad.
There are many things to say Prabhupad, but you know me better than my own self. I only beg for your
blessings so that I become your more loyal servant and try to serve you more. My life is at your feet.
Either you can keep me or trample me. But I always need your protection, shelter and mercy so that I
can serve you. That is only needed.
Your useless dog,

Let me offer my humble obeisance unto your lotus feet which alone can save me from this material
existence. Dear Srila prabhupada, I really dont have any words to describe your causeless mercy upon
this insignificant soul, I am most fallen Srila prabhupad, knowingly I am committing offences. I know
that I should follow your instructions but am unable to follow, please dear father give me
encouragement, spiritual strength so that I can follow your instructions, chant every day 16 rounds and
include Krishna consciousness in all aspects of my life. A week ago I was called to take initiation test, it
was my mistake I gave more importance to my practice rather than your service so I could not come, my
lord you are the most merci ful master, so please protect me from falling down on account of greater
strengths of maya, at least from the basic principles of chanting and following four regulative principles.
I was a different person when I was regular to temple and having devotees association, the amount of
unexplainable joy in me was so great; now it has become a memory, I want to get it back Srila
Prabhupada, please give me protection so that I can follow your divine instructions perfectly, give me
more and more opportunities to serve your mission give me association of devotees more and more. I
can say from my heart I am most fallen, I cant even think what would have been my position if I was not
given opportunity by you to meet devotees of ISKCON Bangalore 9 years ago. Even though I have
neglected because of past and present bad association, you have been supporting me with your valuable
instructions. Thank you very much Srila Prabhupada I want get initiated by you my lord, please accept
me as your student and train me in Krishna consciousness. My dear Srila Prabhupada from so many
days there is a fight between ISKCON Bangalore and Mumbai please help ISKCON Bangalore, so that the
issue gets resolved and your mission of preaching will continue without any obstruction. Thank you
Srila Prabhupada for your causeless mercy upon this insignificant soul.

Oh most merciful spiritual master, Srila Prabhupada! Please accept the humble obeisances of this most
fallen soul, trying to serve your mission. It is by your causeless mercy that I have got great fortune to
chant Krishnas holy names. O Prabhupada! It is by your causeless mercy that I have got the greatest
service unto the lotus feet of the Lord, preaching His message, though I am not qualified to do it. Thank
you Srila Prabhupada for giving me this opportunity and I am sure that by your grace I will be able to
give your instructions to many forgotten souls and make them devotees.
Oh my spiritual master! I know that you are always guiding me from the very moment I saw you. This
you are doing by your causeless mercy. I am not worthy of being the receiver of your mercy but you still
have showered your mercy upon me. Thank you Prabhupada, for picking up this most dirty soul from
the gutter of material existence.
Oh my master! Please continue to be merciful unto me as you have always been and help me to make
your instructions my life and soul and execute your mission by your causeless mercy. Please help me to
serve you forever - life after life.
Oh Prabhupada! We, your servants at ISKCON Bangalore are fighting to establish your grace as the sole
diksha-guru, which the so-called followers of your grace have tried to usurp. Please help us in this
righteous war just as Lord Krishna helped Arjuna in the Battle of Kurukshetra.

Please accept this small offering for this Vyasa puja 2011.
First of all I thank you from core of my heart for guiding me so long and engage me in devotional service

K.A: HDG Bhakti Siddhantha Saraswathis disciple HDG Srila Bhakti Vedanta Swami Srila Prabhupad,
Dear Prabhupad,
You have made me realize that there are different modes : Ignorance, Passion and Goodness which has
been holding and baffling me. You made me understand the two potencies of Maya: Covering and
bewildering potencies. You made me realize the importance of Bhakthi as a science & not a superstition.
You have shown me the purpose & importance of krishna in my life. You have gifted a beautiful
ISKCON movement for the entire world to live and practice & progress. I have got bored of falling down
so many times. You have already partially taken me out of the miserable condition of life. You have
helped me in controlling the senses, understanding my true self. Even though I have done sins worth of
millions of life, you have introduced to me a fantastic cleaning mechanism and get purified. You have
helped me to kick off the bad habits. You are helping me to shape my character. You are guiding me in
each and every step and decisions I take. You are inspiring me to chant my 16 rounds. You are revealing
a lot of things to me in my heart. You are helping me to get engaged in Krishnas service. You are giving
me the power to discriminate between good and bad by making me understand a simple but powerful
slogan Reject what is not favorable & accept what is favourable for krishnas service. I thank you for all
these things.
If I hold your finger, I know you will take me back to God head. Thanking you,
Yours eternal sincere servant in service, Sriraman Devarajan

I got an opportunity to learn about supreme personality of godhead krishna only by your grace.
You gave me more kirtans which i get more peace to the mind after hearing and most delicious
parsadam which makes all my diseases and sinful activities go away from my body and as well as from
soul.
Therefore you are only my spiritual master. Thank you for all that you have given me.
O my dear spiritual master please accept me as your servant and give me strength so that i can distribute

Please accept my humble obeisances at Your holy lotus feet.
By Your causeless mercy, I came in touch with You and Your devotees who are very sincere and strict in
following Your instructions and orders. I am very fortunate to come under the shelter of Your real
followers. It is very difficult to imagine myself, if I hadnt been with association of Your devotees. It is all
Your causeless mercy. I can proudly feel and say that I am under Your real representatives, who are
struggling very much to spread Krishna Consciousness in this horrible age of Kali.
Srila Prabhupada! My progress in spiritual life is very slow. My wish is, help me to be sincere, humble
and intelligent enough to always seek the shelter of Your lotus feet by submissively hearing,
understanding and carrying out Your divine instructions. Srila Prabhupada please help me to be humble
and maintain patience at all the testing situations in my spiritual life.
I am thankless for Your mercy on this insignificant disciple of Yours. What I can do is only try to
practically apply Your divine instructions in my life.
Your insignificant disciple,

It gives me a great sense of confidence and protection when I cherish the flavours that you have
mercifully bestowed upon me to continue in Krishna consciousness inspite of my weaknesses.
I simply pray to your lotus feet to kindly make instrumental in spreading the glories of your Movement.
Please give me the strength to follow the four regulative principles strictly and to conduct the dealings
with the Vaisnavas without any Offenses.

A humble offering unto the lotus feet of my beloved spiritual master His Divine Grace A.C.Bhaktivedanta
Swami Prabhupada
Caught in a web of passion and nescience
A soul fallen; and a blind conscience
VyasaPuja2011

Life was wretched; miseries galore
A ship wrecked, no sight of the shore
Save me! Save me! I cried and cried
Grave silence around, though I tried and tried!

Hopeless at last, I bowed to my fate
Briskly walked I, towards the Hells gate
Was about to enter it; a point of no return
When I heard a soft rustle that made my head turn

I looked back and saw on the nearby ground
Many a written pages scattered all around
I picked up a page and began reading through
All I could make out was, it was an interview
The man who spoke was some kind of a Spiritual Guru
You Rascals! he said, and millions assented, Oh! How true!
Amusing! I thought and continued reading
Knowing not the path I was slowly treading

Of Lord Krsna, he spoke, the Supreme and the transcendental
Of the profound, he explained, in a lingo fundamental
By now I was being carried away in currents
Of spiritual knowledge; raining in torrents
Page after page, I put it all together
Reading, I rose from the world of the nether

My cunning queries, I had believed, no one could answer
My intelligent theories that nobody could counter
His divine words blew everything asunder
Destroyed my vanity and taught me true surrender
His books revealed the Lords words and his lectures enlightened
Removed my anxieties and my conscience brightened

My eyes were wet when I read through the pages,
My skewed view was replaced with Krsnas images
It dawned on me he was no mundane mortal
But a divine son of Krsna; the spiritual worlds sole portal

His lotus feet are the shelter for millions of his disciples,
Distributing freedom to the shackled through regulative principles
He initiated a Spiritual Movement; wrote books more than seventy
VyasaPuja2011

Established 108 Krsna temples; delivered lectures aplenty

This shown path I decided I should once try
For all other roads had left me high and dry!

I fall and rise and rise and fall, unsteady in my walk
Keep moving! Dont give up! - I hear my guru talk
Whenever I indulge, in acts of utter nonsenses,
You Rascal! he shouts, and I jump back to my senses!

The Fallen Soul that I am, I still am not steady
I keep finding excuses like, I am not ready!
But kind that he is; has not given up on me
Keeps showering his grace, that Ocean of Mercy!

When my friends and the others, all mockingly question
What are your achievements and what is your position?
I just smile at them and then proudly add,
Isnt it enough that I have Srila Prabhupad?
What more does one need when his father is the Supreme Lord?
And his master, a bona fide, loving servant of The God

Confidently I walk and battle like a warrior,
For I have Krsna as my Father and Prabhupad as my Saviour!
HARE KRSNA!

Neither moment Ive lived in nor emotion I've shared, have I ever found any real meaning before I learnt
of the existence of your most blessed and treasured Movement. No laughter Id ever uttered, nor tears I'd
ever shed could have so completely captured my very soul than those I'd experienced by just dancing,
singing, and chanting before the Deities in the temple. From a heart so bound up with materialistic
yearnings, I've now learnt how to free myself from all my embittered entanglements and immerse myself
instead within the eternal beauty which I've found pervades my very being.
But for you Srila Prabhupada, I would have fallen into the deepest well of my false ego and would have
remained blinded forever from all the most wonderful ecstatic feelings that I have now learnt to
experience. There are no words that would befit my lips, nor would deeds fine that I could impart that
ever express my eternal gratitude for your having saved me from this ocean of material existence.
By your mercy Lord Krishna may I never again fall, but continue to rise ever upward pursuing the
pathways to the Spiritual Planets.

Om Gurudevaya Namoh Namah,
I offer my humble obeisances to Lord Krishna and Srila prabhupada for giving me an chance to write
something about vyasa puja celebrations.Bhakti vedanta swami prabhupada,the Founder -acharya of
ISKON was a charismatic leader .In order to fulfill his spiritual master's wish to spread the message of
Krishna consciousness through out the world,he traveled across the globe and thus bringing a lot of
youths under the roof of krishna consciousness, who renounced their material life,and dedicated their
heart and soul to Krishna.
Although i was born after the passing of srila prabhupada,but i still feel his presence in his devotees and
his books.Whenever i am in distress,and when i call him with sincere heart,He listens my prayer.His
visionary project "AKSHAYA PATRA" is now feeding millions of childrens through out India..On this
vyasa puja celebrations,.If GURU is satisfied then KRISHNA would be automatically satisfied.I seek his
blessings....and guidance throughout my life

YOU are the one who has showed the way for perfect spiritual Life.
YOU are the person who gave a very nice atmosphere to join Krishna consciousness.
YOU are the spiritual master who made the society think atleast once what is the basic source of our
(everyones) life.
YOU are the person who made Bharatha Varsha (INDIA) proud by keeping our culture alive and making
the entire planet follow us.
If myself, who is a 99% dull minded soul could join this Krishna Consciousness movement,then one can
imagine how many souls would have got the right path to reach Godhead.
I thank you for providing this opportunity.

Dear Prabhupada,
When I hear about Krishna consciousness movement in my childhood, it is an exhibition which is
unnecessary publicity.
As I grew old I was slowly attracted to impersonalism and I used to think all forms of GODs are simply
imagination of ravivarma.
But when I read your books , I at once lost the taste of impersonalism and I strongly attracted to the
form of Lord Sri Krishna.It is you who created this transformation in me with your strong words which
kindled my common sense.As I read more and more books of yours, I I lost the taste to read any other
books.
I thank you for giving taste of love of Sri Krishna given by Chaitanya Mahaprabu in form of your
writings Thank you for dedicating yourself for preaching Krishna Consciousness.
Once again I thank you ,
Your sincere Disciple.

Srila Prabupada bestowed mercy upon all of us by giving us ISKCON, place where we all can become
Krishna consciousness. Srila Prabhupada also gave us the Hare Krishna Maha Mantra, by chanting which
we can get purified from all material contamination and go back home, back to godhead. Srila
Prabhupada wrote many books, mainly Bhagavad Gita As It Is, Srimad Bhagavatham, Caitanya
Charitamrita, by reading which we can try to understand Krishna and attain perfection. Srila Prabhupada
gave us the four regulative principles by which we can control our mind and senses and progress in
Krishna consciousness. I thank Srila Prabhupada for giving us all this and even more. I request Srila
Prabhupada to bestow his mercy upon me and help me to progress in Krishna consciousness. I offer my
respectful obeisances unto the lotus feet of Srila Prabhupada.

His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada, given me the direction, how to make my
life successful & go back to godhead.
Before knowing about his grace, I just thought he is also a common man like many & just by founding
this ISKCON, these temple devotees have established his deity form in main temple hall.
In the year 2004, I came Bangalore to search for a job & settle here so I asked my aunty (I was staying in
her house, my mothers sister) to tell me the place for passing my time & she told to visit this famous
temple, (may be she told since it is very near to her house, rajaji nagar) & I visited. Even if you just enter
the temple & glance the route of darshan & go also it takes about an hour & half. So it was very nice
time pass spot for me. Initially when I was chanting on 108 steps, my mouth was paining (so much
sinful, I was) but now I am relishing the taste of it & I am experiencing dissatisfied satisfaction while
chanting.
One day, I decided (on Janmasthami day, May 2006 or 2005) to purchase either Bhagavad-Gita or
Bhagavatham book (I didnt know the difference between the two), I consulted one of my uncle to which
book is shall buy & one said purchase Bhagavatham. I just purchased a Bhagavatham 1
st
canto & kept in
a cupboard. But just about 3.5 years back I thought, why cant I read this book? & I started reading daily
only 1 verse from it. But till I attended folk classes I couldnt understand anything.
Fortunately, about 2 years before, one of the life patron devotee of ISKCON, who was my senior
colleague, gave me yoga retreat complimentary pass. I asked him are any fees needed to be paid after
attending. He said no. (Other wise I would have neglected it, may be). While attending YR LEVEL-2
many of my friends told me that, if I attend this session, I will be brain washed to attend temple
regularly. But I took it as a challenge & told them that, I am not such a fool to agree all what they say, I
just wanted to enjoy the session & pass that day.
VyasaPuja2011

But, when I came to know about some interesting facts like why we are suffering, whats the aim of our
life. What are the real problems of life, I decided, even I lose the challenge; I will catch this golden
opportunity to fulfil the real goal of life. Such is the memory of Srila Prabhupada. It is true that, those
who come temple & chant (or listen) the holy names, one or the other day surely will come in contact
with Srila Prabhupada mission.
I am not even eligible to speak about Srila Prabhupada. He is such an exalted personality. I couldnt even
think of my present life with out Prabhupada. We are so fortunate, lucky to come in contact with him. I
believe in my association wit Srila Prabhupada & his mission there is not even a tinge of my endeavour,
its all because of his grace Srila Prabhupadas & Krishnas master plan & causeless mercy.
After coming in contact with Srila Prabhupada, I realised, I simply wasted these many years for just
nothing. How valuable even a single moment of life, it is successful only if u engages that moment in any
one of the devotional processes suggested by Srila Prabhupada.
About Srila Prabhupada & his exaltedness, even if you spend your life time to explain, I feel its not
enough. My spiritual master is non different than his Divine Grace Srila Sukdev Goswamy, who
instructed Sri Parikshit Maharaj who was eagerly waiting for guidance. My spiritual master went to
western world, where nobody was waiting for him to receive his instruction, nobody knew about his
importance, yet he made them to realise the value of their human lives & made their lives successful.
Thanking you

But those who always worship Me with exclusive devotion, meditating on My transcendental formto
them I carry what they lack, and I preserve what they have.
All Glories to you Srila Prabhupada! Today is the auspicious day of your appearance and i offer my
respectful obeisances to you. Please bless me with steady devotion to your lotus feet. By your blessings i
should practice Krishna Consciousness very seriously, following the 4 regulative principles, chanting 16
rounds, reading Srimad Bhagavatam regularly etc so that i become a nice devotee of Sri Sri Radha
Krishna Chandra. This material life is full of dangers and hindrances and we cannot predict what will
happen in the next moment. In any situation in my life I pray that Krishna is always with me and protect
me in all circumstances with his causeless mercy. If the guru is satisfied, automatically Krishna will be
satisfied. So, please give me the power and enthusiasm to satisfy you and Krishna through my devotional
service and fulfill my desires-both material and spiritual. I hope that i can peacefully practice Krishna
Consciousness in daily life.
I pray to Chaitanya Mahaprabhu and Nityananda Prabhu to bless me with their causeless mercy and
give me shelter at the lotus feet of Sri Sri Radha Krishna Chandra. Please make me an object of their
favour. My goal is to please Radha Krishna Chandra with my devotional service.

I am very grateful and obliged that you have chosen and considered me to be able to get your knowledge.
I have came to you at time when I was very much destressed and in a grief. I am so opportunistic and
self seeker that I have came when I was in need. But you are so merciful and kind that you are still
accepted me.
VyasaPuja2011

You know that I am not able to understand you, your writings because I am so big fool. I have always
doubts and with these doubts I get bewildered and confused and my faith start shaking. O Merciful,
Please give ability to this fool understand you and your writings.
Please do not leave me any condition, you know my situation will deteriorate and vanish without you.
I am on a seesaw that I am not able to understand what is good and what is bad, I cannot decide. Please
help me.!!
My mind is always filled with desires, I don't have strength and power to remove desire please help me.
I am still always asking something from you whether it is ability, strength, etc and the list will go on. I
know cannot repay or give back you in any form but still I would like to give something please accept it.
Praying for your blessings & trying to be your obedient student,

Firstly, Happy Appearance Day.
This is a gratitude letter to You thanking You for everything You did for us out of Your compassion and
mercy. I thank You for initiating the Krishna Consciousness movement which has been a great success
Only because of that, I have a 'Values Plus' class from where I got acquainted with Lord Krishna. By
reading the 'Bhagavad Gita As It Is' written by You, I am enlightened and don't feel my miseries to some
extent. I am able to concentrate on Krishna at most of the times. I am now conscious that I am a part and
parcel of Lord Krishna and my purpose is to serve Him. You have helped the whole mankind by giving
us the confidential knowledge that Krishna gave to Arjuna. By Your mercy and grace all Your disciples
shall surely reach Krishna. I feel both fortunate and unfortunate. Fortunate as I am getting to read Your
spiritual books and unfortunate as I was not able to become Your disciple and serve You.
This year, at the ISKCON Heritage Fest, I had been selected for the finals in essay writing and I chose the
topic 'Importance of a spiritual master in one's life' to honor You and pay my respectful obeisances unto
You. I know that a spiritual master is very important and You are Spiritual Master.
That is why I chose that topic.
I know that somewhere You will be reading this letter. So I am thanking You for all that You have done
for us.

Bhakta Suresh B
I would like to honor Srila Prabhupada with the below words on the occasion of Vyasa puja:
Five years back I was a person who was thinking that earning money, getting married and getting settled
in life are only my goals. But, fortunately by the grace of Srila Prabhupada I came to know the real goal
of my life. Even though I am not able to strictly follow his instructions, I acquired some knowledge
about my birth and about the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Lord Krishna.
By reading the books of Srila Prabhupada I am able to admire God and his pastimes.
I am grateful to Prabhupada for helping me establish my link with God.
Hare Krishna!!!

Until I came across Your divine instructions two years ago, for about four years I was searching for truth.
I thought Holy Bible is the highest knowledge, I was quite happy with it, but as the days passed by my
heart started trembling, when I started seeing animals being slaughtered by just considering one
statement from The Bible, but somehow fortunately, I came across a website which talks about the
glories of Hare Krishna Maha Mantra. I was surprised, how one mantra can deliver any person who is
born with sin, lived with sin, and dies with sin. I really didnt believe it, so I started searching more
about Hare Krishna Maha mantraand thus ended up to www.iskconbangalore.org. website. I took the
contact number of temple, dialed, met and spoke with a devotee. I somehow wanted to get a copy of
Bhagavad-Gita; I asked a devotee that as I would be reading it for the first time will I be able to
understand it? Srila Prabhupada, I really truly trust that you guided that devotee suggesting me a book
SCIENCE OF SELF REALIZATION (SSR). I had two thoughts; to buy Bhagavad-Gita or just SSR, again
Srila Prabhupada you guided me to buy both. Trust me If I had just bought Bhagavad Gita, I wouldnt
have been here, but just due to impact of SSR book, today I am here. I completed this book in two days;
and the third day I surrendered to your greatness, and kindness, for dedicating your entire life to deliver
all the fallen souls. Srila Prabhupada from the bottom of my heart I say that there couldnt have, or will
ever be any avatar of the Lord more merciful than you. Srila Prabhupada, I beg of you that I have fallen
and am falling every moment. Srila Prabhupada, if you have brought me in, please lead me too. Its very
difficult, and impossible for me to survive alone. I dont have faith in Krishna, but only in you I have
VyasaPuja2011

complete faith, because for about five to six years noone could change my faith, WHICH YOU
CHANGED IN TWO DAYS.
Nothing is impossible for you Srila Prabhupada.Through this letter I pay obeisance unto thy lotus feet as
there is nothing I could do more than this.
Yours fallen child

First of all I pay my obeisance to the lotus feet of my Spiritual Master Jagat Guru Srila Prabhupad.
Prabhupad I never thought in my life that I will go to Bangalore from the corner village of Shimla
(Himachal Pradesh). Till now everyone asks me this question, why Only Bangalore you chose for study
or job? Even though there are many institutes or companies in north India too.
Till now I did not get the answer why I am in Bangalore? But now I am realizing its because of your
mercy to be a part of your mission in this world. ISKCON Bangalore where you are only sole Diksa
Guru . I am really happy I got right way in the journey of my life throug your crystal clear instructions
without any doubt at all, Prabhupada I beg you, please in this birth and after-birth you must be my only
Guru. You are only real teacher (Guru) who taught me the objective of human life through your books
& instructions.
Prabhupada, please be merciful unto me and engage me in the service of Lord Krishna wherever I live. I
must follow your given instructions given in your books & be in the association of devotees in life &
hope to achieve the goal of this life. Prabhupada, you are the only hope of my life..
Your servant

These sixty days are most valuable days in my life. I have learnt about my religion and culture.
I have learnt how to be a good human being and learnt the way of reaching god.
Nowadays I feel that god (Krishna) is there with me to help me on any problem.
Chanting everyday has given me good peace of mind and gave time praise god.
I am thankful to this trust for including me in these sorts of activities.
I want to continue doing this for many more years.

Please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet. All glories to you, to your soldier devotees &
their wonderful services to the conditioned souls in this material world.
A person who is on the spiritual platform can only glorify you perfectly. I do not know how to glorify
even a materialistic person, then what to speak of glorifying pure devotee like you. Still I will try to
glorify you in my own way.
You have preached Krishna Consciousness throughout the world single handed and constructed 108
Krishna Temples, written commentary on Srimad Bhagavadgita, Srimad Bhagavatam and many other
books in a very short span of 11 years,although starting at the age of 70 years. Only an empowered
Acharya like you can accomplish this great task.
The people of this world (during your physical presence, now and in the future for another 10000 years)
are so fortunate to have spiritual master like you. You not only gave the knowledge about THE
SUPREME PERSONALITY OF GODHEAD, purpose of human form of life but also the series of
instructions right from early morning Mangalarati, to night shayana arati. Anyone who follows your
instructions sincerely, can go back home back to godhead after understanding LORD KRISHNA which is
not possible even for great sages by analysis for millions and trillions of years at the speed of mind and
wind as confirmed by Lord Brahma in Brahma Samhita.
Your commentary on Srimad Bhagavadgita, Srimad Bhagavatam, and other transcendental books are so
simple that any one who can read, can understand the highest truth. Even big big scientists, doctors,
engineers, scholars, especially in the western world could not stand before you in the matter of spiritual
knowledge. Many have surrendered and become full time devotees by your unlimited causeless mercy.
By your causeless mercy, somehow I came in contact with this movement and accepted you as my
spiritual mater and KRISHNA AS SUPREME PERSONALITY OF GODHEAD, very much convinced with
the philosophy explained in your books and lectures.
By your causeless mercy, I am chanting 16 rounds of Hare Krishna Mantra everyday & trying to follow
your instructions. But I am so sinful that I am not able to follow your instructions consistently. My
progress is crawling, getting up again and again although falling down repeatedly. I am not getting the
real taste for chanting the holy name in which SUPREME LORD KRISHNA has invested all his energies
as confirmed by SRI CHAITANYA MAHAPRABHU IN HIS SIKSHASTAKA, although I am getting a
glimpse of it.
By little effort of trying to follow your instructions, I am being saved from great danger of doing UGRA
KARMA in a factory. You are so merciful that although I am so sinful, I am given the chance of serving
your mission of providing the unlimited food for children. I am very grateful to you Srila Prabhupada.
Kindly give me all knowledge & strength to serve your mission sincerely with utmost care and
obedience, to become proactive & to take up the higher assigned responsibilities to please you &
SUPREME LORD KRISHNA.
I have committed many sinful activities at your lotus feet knowingly and unknowingly. I do not have
face to ask even forgiveness from you. The great lust in the deepest of my heart troubles me now & then
very much in following your instructions and regulative principles, chanting, reading & hearing
KRISHNA KATHA.
VyasaPuja2011

Kindly give me firm faith and strength to follow your instructions sincerely with full determination so
that I will not commit any sinful activity hence forth. Please shower your causeless mercy up on me to
follow your instructions with full faith.
Your most fallen insignificant servant.

Dear Srila Prabhupada !
Please accept my humble obeisances !
I thank you for opening my eyes and guiding my life ! I thank you for giving me an opportunity to serve
the mission of your Divine Grace.
If it were not for you, I would be now wandering in this world trying to satisfy the interests of my senses.
I had served my senses enough before Your Divine Grace came into my life. Neither am i completely free
from the dictation of my senses. I pray for your causeless mercy in this regard. In this journey for
establishing the position of Your Divine Grace as the sole Diksha Guru in ISKCON, you have given us an
opportunity to fight on your behalf. Please arm us with the right weapons and strength to pursue this
transcendental cause. You have instructed your disciples that the truth must be spoken irrespective of
how sour it may be and the devotees at ISKCON Bangalore are moving in this direction.
During the presence of Your Divine Grace on earth, you set the perfect example of a pure devotee by
exhibiting all the 26 qualities and inspiring others to surrender to your Lotus Feet which you continue
to do so through your teachings and recorded pastimes ! Your Divine Grace has inspired lakhs of people
including me to take up Krishna Consciousness.
Therefore, it is rightly said,
mka karoti vcla pagu laghayate girim yat-kp tam aha vande r-guru dna-traam
cross mountains.
This fallen soul too seeks shelter of such a Spiritual master. I pray that Your Divine Grace guide me in
my services at the temple as well as anywhere else i may render devotional service.I pray for your
blessings to be able to follow your instructions in letter and spirit, especially chanting minimum 16
rounds of the Hare-Krishna maha-Mantra and following the 4 regulative principles namely -
1. No illicit sex
2. No meat eating(including fish and eggs)
3. No intoxication(including tea and coffee)
4. No gambling
As stated in text 78 of Chapter 18 of Srimad Bhagavad Gita,
yatra yogevara ko yatra prtho dhanur-dhara tatra rr vijayo bhtir dhruv ntir matir mama
Wherever there is Krishna, the master of all mystics, and wherever there is Arjuna, the supreme archer,
there will also certainly be opulence, victory, extraordinary power, and morality. That is my opinion.
Similarly, wherever Your Divine Grace and the Supreme Personality Of Godhead are present and
glorified, everything exists in abundance whether opulence, victory, power or morality. The whole
universe is benedicted by such a presence.
This fallen soul always seeks shelter at Your Lotus Feet !

Please accept my most humble obeisances, and kindly forgive my offences. On this most blessed event;
Sri Vyasa-Puja, the Appearance Day of my Beloved Spiritual Master His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta

life would have been today, if you had not appeared and blessed us all with your divine benediction."I
offer my respectful obeisances unto my Spiritual Master who has opened my eyes, blinded by the
darkness of ignorance, with the torchlight of knowledge."
saksad-dharitvena samasta-sastrair uktas tatha bhavyata eva sadbhih
kintu prabhor yah priya eva tasya vande guroh sri caranaravindam
In the revealed scriptures it is declared that the Spiritual Master should be worshiped like the Supreme
Personality of Godhead and this injunction is obeyed by pure devotees of the Lord. The spiritual master
is the most confidential servant of the Lord. Thus let us offer our respectful obeisances unto the Lotus
Feet of our Spiritual Master
Srila Prabhupada, you saved me from a life of misery and ignorance. You gave me hope. By your mercy
the seed of Bhakti was planted in my heart and from that moment there was no turning back. By your
Divine grace I have never lost faith and hope and every day of my life I am feeling so much gratitude and
appreciation for being delivered by you into the light of Krishna consciousness.It is only by your Divine
Grace that has brought me in contact with the great movement of Sri Radha Krishna-Chandra Mandir
and its devotees which can be proudly called as Srila Prabhupadas ISKCON Bangalore.I plead and beg
you to always keep me in touch with this great movement where your orders and teachings are being
strictly followed and centering you as our only Shiksha and Deeksha Guru.

Recently I remember myself going I the ditch of this material life, I remember myself almost going to
break the 4 regulative principles. Recently I felt myself to be dominated by the three modes of material
nature, recently I remember myself to be getting contaminated by 6 doshas. But all these recently
activities, at once seemed to be past, big history, when I came in touch of the thunder bolt of spiritual
sky, yes that is you Srila Prabhupad how can I forget how you had revealed the original identity of mine.
How can I forget how you linked me to the spiritual aspect of life? Above all how can I forget how you
came as a transformer in my life?
All these answers became very easy when I started to analyse and finally came to a point that it was all
due to blessings of my beloved spiritual master, Srila Prabhupada

TRANSLATION
Just try to learn the truth by approaching a spiritual master. Inquire from him submissively and render
service unto him. The self realized soul can impart knowledge to you because he has seen the truth.
Purport
The path of spiritual realization is undoubtedly difficult. The lord therefore advises us to approach a
bona fide spiritual master in the line of disciplic succession from the Lord himself. No one can be a bona
fide spiritual master without following the disciplic succession. The lord is the original spiritual master
and a person in the disciplic succession can convey the message of the lord as it is to his disciples. No
one can be spiritually realized by manufacturing his own process as is the fashion of modern pretenders.
The bhagavatam says dharmam tu saksad bhagvad pranitam. The path of realization is directly
enunciated by the lord

It is great opportunity for me to glorify my Spiritual Master Srila Prabhuapda by writing few words on
occasion of Vyasa Puja. Before joining ISKCON my life was in darkness and ignorance but now due to
mercy of Srila Prabhupada , I am practicing Spiritual life like joining Folk Hostel, regular visiting the

I have realized many more changes in my life due to chanting and due to mercy of Srila prabhupada .

Dear Srila pabhupada,
I offer my humble obeisance at your lotus feet on the day of your appearance. I will be eternally grateful
to you for showing us the correct path and saving me from impersonalism and showing me the right way
of bhakti. Without your help I would be bewildered. You have always inspired me to perform bhakti
fearlessly in any circumstances and never leaving the side of truth. Currently we are fighting, so that we
could serve you better, only you can help us srila Prabhupad

Please do not forget about me and keep me always at your Lotus feet, which are my only shelter. At
home everyone are fine, I am chanting 16 rounds everyday, but no quality chanting. Srila Prabhupada, I
have become folk cell leader Basaveshwarnagar now, every Wednesday we organize satsang meeting at
Lakshmi Narayana temple. Around 15 to 18 devotees attend the program. We do chanting, read your
books, perform kirtan, Arati and have prasadam. I am very happy to inform you that with your blessing
we are reaching 50th cell meeting very soon, temple devotees are also helping us very much,
Srila Prabhupada, I am confused as I am working as lecturer as well as pursuing my research for Phd. I
am confused, should I continue my studies, or join the movement. I am wasting a lot of time in doing
mundane research for PhD. I completed two and half year, one more year left. I wish to serve you, please
keep me always at your lotus feet and please guide me.
Please bless me, so that I will remain your menial servant forever and not leave you even for a moment.

namasthe sarastwathe deve gouravani pracharine nirvisesa sunyavadi pashyatya desha tarini.
Hare Krishna, My Dear Srila Prabhupada,
I offer my respectable and humble obeisances unto your lotus feet.
I had an immense pleasure when I read the "Krishna: The Supreme Personality of Godhead" and I felt
like I was in Vrindavana while reading the book. I developed an intense desire to visit to Madhura and
Vrindavana after reading the book. That way, later my intese desire to associate with ISKCON increased
and I was attracted by the very nice photography of Lord Krishna. Once upon a time, I prayed to the
Lord for giving me protection from the darkness of ignorance and put me in the light of knowledge.
Lord Krishna has guided me to your ISKCON temple in Chennai on His Janmasthami festival 3 years
ago. That day, my journey in Krishna consciousness started.
I sincerely thank you for imparting to me the knowledge about the supreme Personality of Godhead,
Lord Sri Krishna, and my eternal relationship with Him. We know God is great, but we dont know how
great He is. But, after reading your books and listening to your lectures we came to know how great the
Lord Krishna is.We understand how He is great in having all the 6 kinds of opulences simultaneoulsy.
In fact, I did not know about my life and the value of it. I realised how important and valuable the
human form of (my) life is. I also realised how important the value of time is. Indeed you have taken
great pains to travel and preach this science of God all over the world.Without your causeless mercy, I
woud not have come to an understanding that I am not my body but an eternal spirit soul and my
eternal duty is serve the Supreme Personality of godhead Sri Krishna. I sincerely pray that your glories be
proclaimed all over the three worlds.
I sincerely thank you for giving me an opportunity to have an association with your deciples in the
ISKCON Bangalore temple and including the Folk Hostel. I have an opportunity to attend Mangala Arati,
listen to daily Srimad Bhagavatam classes and congenial atmosphere for chanting the Holy names of Lord
Krishna. Eventhough, I am born in darkness of ignorance, I am able to realise the value of my life. So, I
request you to kindly give me the strength and confidence to progress in Krishna Consciuosness and
support the HareKrishna Movement.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada, All glories to Srila Prabhupada, All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
Jaya Prabhupada, Jaya prabhupada, Jaya Prabhupada.

Each and every-day, get surprised with the way you are changing the modern youths goals, ambitions
and perspectives of life through your wonderful books and taking up devotional service towards Lord
Krishna, shockingly leaving their general ambitions of amassing wealth, enjoying the senses and running
towards sense gratification without any values. Delighted to see many distinguished professionals and
talented youth excelling in their fields get attracted to your extra-ordinary books which you express with
Vedic authenticity, logic and situational examples and consequently devoting their life totally for Lord
Krishnas service. This is the testimony that you live in your books forever and difficult to digest and
consider any other theory of accepting any other Guru other than you as I thoroughly admire your
highest standards of Spiritual knowledge, Morality, ethical standards and amazing spiritual vision you
have exhibited in your teachings which cant be seen at all with any self-proclaimed or other appointed
Gurus.
After your disappearance, get pained with the way you have been sidelined deliberately by self-
proclaimed acharyas in endorsing their Guru business for their own sense gratification despite strictly
instructing these self-proclaiming Gurus to be Ritvik acharyas. Have seen their disgraceful fall downs as
they deliberately disobeyed your instructions and very lucky to be part of ISKCON Bangalore which
proudly reinstated you as only Jagat Guru and follows your instructions very strictly as you have told in
your eternal books. Sincerely pray to you to extend your mercy and blessings to ISKCON Bangalore
devotees who are fighting extremely hard to thrash this bogus Guru business and unethical politics on
ISKCON Bangalore and feel pretty sad that many young devotees are getting trapped to unethical and
unacceptable bogus guru philosophies. Have firm faith that a day will come that ISKCON Bangalore,
successfully showcases to the world that you should be the only diksa Guru and majority of devotees
thrash other non-sense Guru philosophies.
Aspiring to be your eternal Servant,

Offerings to Srila Prabhupada:-
I offer my respectful obeisances unto His Divine Grace AC Bhaktivedanta swami Srila Prabhupada - All
glories to Srila Prabhupada.
Dear Prabhupada,
The day I have seen I still remember that it is in my childhood, where I could see you everyday on a
small poster attached on the locker box. I could still remember the smiling face you instructed me to
chant Hare Krishna Maha Mantra.
Days gone and later I visited your temple where I have got Bhagavadgita from you. I was not very serious
reader at that time .When I am getting matured day by day I am searching and thinking about the life, I
could see everywhere ,every person, everybody is doing the same work, Busy in their lives. I used to get
questions which I couldnt answer to myself.
The day came and you instructed to me to go to ISKCON Bangalore and I am almost surprised and got
all the answers. When the first time I chanted Maha Mantra, I become your disciple prabhupada!!!
Prabhupada, you have given me right path, purpose of life, knowledge, discipline, Prasadam, krsna and
lots more where I cant repay back to you.
VyasaPuja2011

The moment I realized about your teachings, messages from Krishna, I fully surrendered into you. My
life in sacrificed for you prabhupada!!!
Do whatever you want me to do in my life I am dedicated and sincerely begging for your mercy.
Prabhupada, you have given me strength when I am low & fallen, guided me when I am wrong, giving
knowledge from heart when I do Book distribution. Giving me courage to speak against other
speculators / philosopher.
So Dear Prabhupada what I can do for you? I am such an insignificant fallen soul, waiting for your
mercy. Hankering always to preach your message all over the world.
Im for you prabhupada, I will die for you. Please give me strength to follow your instructions. please
give me Krishna bhakti and guide me in all over life.

My dear, how much sweet you are?
By you the world progresses
By you the happiness spreads,
Oh Master how much sweet you are.
We have spun all these days,
In ignorance like cocoon,
Now we are freed as the flying butterfly.
We are good innocent to the World.
We are fools in the World
You taught us not to be cheated.
Spiritual knowledge is your Apple fruit,
You feed us to our sweet taste.
We are now a blossomed flower,
Which has to be surrendered.
To whom ask me? I tell you
Master, to the Lord with no doubt.
You are best to see.
You spread light & love.
We surrender to the Lord,
You nurture & care us.
World has seen many Masters
You are Unlimited energy like,
Going every time to the peak,
You are dear my dear.
Experience is a must to us,
We earn it while doing devotional service.
We get closer to the Lord
We will be perfect without fraud
Won't you still doubt about us,
Will you ask me about us?
Hey master we are none other then fools,
Fools in material world
And fallen souls from Spiritual World.

I came to ISKCON temple as an ordinary person just to see ISKCON temple with friends 5-6 years back.
I did not have much devotion or belief in God or the knowledge of Bhagavad-gita. I just know that
Bhagavad-gita and Lord Krsna are only history of stories.
VyasaPuja2011

When I visited ISKCON temple I saw the rich aroma of God and the hygiene system and worship of
krsna was beautiful. So I decided to come often and often when I get free time and that to I was
searching for job that time. Once I attend yoga retreat classes I really came to know that how
Prabhupada developed ISKCON and the culture of bhakti to the world. Mainly the preachings of krsna,
the books, Bhakti and Bhagavad-gita, how a man should be live and worship God. What is the real
spirituality and what is the material life inspired and attracted to mind.
So I become a FOLK student and devotee of Lord Krsna by your blessings. I am chanting hare Krsna
mantra daily and admitted my life with rules and regulations on worshipping on lord Krsna. My guru
Srila Prabhupada, please bless me as your devotee and convey my offerings to the Lord.
I want to be your dearest FOLK student or devotee to serve the Lord Krsna.
Please provide me more knowledge, energy, health and mind to serve you and Lord Krsna, the supreme
power personality of God head. On this auspicious Vyasa puja day I beg you to please accept my service
always to Lord Krsna by blessing me.
I feel honored by serving your feet, please provide peace, happiness and knowledge of Bhagavadgita to
the world by eradicating ignorance.

Please, accept my respectful and humble obeisances at your divine lotus feet.
It is by the mercy of my spiritual master Srila Prabhupada, that I am able to practice Krishna
consciousness. Your teachings are a wealth of information to know the real aim of human life. Your
mission is been teaching the real goal of life, going back to Godhead. I have been practicing to follow
the instructions given by his divine grace Srila Prabhupada.
As stated in Sri Chaitanya caritiamrta Text.19.151,
It is by Gurus kind and humble mercy that the bhakti creeper is been planted in the heart of this fallen
soul. Although I am aware that this entire creation is dukhlayam avatam Still my senses tend
towards material desires and maya is alluring to follow her. Please, help me overcome from this illusion
trap of mayas energy. I have committed mistakes, Knowingly or unknowingly, I kindly beg your pardon
and request your mercy for engaging me in your service. Words cannot describe your causeless mercy,
still I like to once again thank Srila Prabhupada for the kind mercy on to this fallen soul.

Dear Prabhupadha,
Really I am very happy to share my words about spiritual life and growth. First of all, I would say thanks
to ISKCON, inaugurated by your hands.
Once upon a time I went to ISKCON temple in Tirupathi in 2004, but I felt something unique feelings
there. But after so long time I went to ISKCON , Bangalore in 2010. I got opportunity to attend SOS
level-I and II programmes. I completed successfully. I learned the importance and greatness of
spirituality at The Lord Krishna. I got the true experience about my spirituality in FOLK e-cell through
your servantslike kalakanta das, karthik prabhu.
Initially I got more number of failures in my career. I am thinking every day, I missed something. Then I
started chanting of Hare Krishna mantra,
VyasaPuja2011

Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare Hare Rama Hare Rama, Rama Rama Hare Hare.
Initially I thought I will overcome maya without help of Lord Krishna. But I learnt that, we can
overcome Maya of Lord Krishna by the help of Chanting Hare Krishna mantra only.
Finally, Now I found out where I want to go? What works I want to do? What are my responsibilities
and all? Before meeting ISKCON devotees (Lord Servants) I was as flower without fragrance. But now I
am the tree with little bit of SQ. I will spread my SQ to my sons/daughters.

By Prabhupadas establishment of ISKCON can teach about Krishna Consciousness and chanting the
holy names of Krishna. Thanks to Srila Prabhupada for giving us the wonderful opportunity. Srila

You brought us the truth, brought us Lord Caitanya's mercy and the words of Sri Krsna.
You let us glimpse into the spiritual world through yours, eyes of a pure devotee.You are here always,
teaching, manifesting as instructions, lessons and love.You always reside in our hearts.Thank you Srila
Prabhupada for this intensely personal love. You have given so generously to the most undeserving and
fallen thank you. Thank you for your causeless mercyand unlimited grace and your compassionate love I
too wish to serve you with purity, love and devotion.
You are the jagat-guru, The universal spiritual master
And we bow down before you in thanks in gratitude in love.
Those who continually associate with you, by hearing your tapes and reading your books, throughout
the day, are the most fortunate beings in the universe. The transcendental sound vibration from your
lectures and kirtan tapes has the power to liberate even a casual bystander who hears only one word.
Either understanding, or not understanding the purport of the Krsna prema emanating from your lotus
lips on your tapes, every listener, whether casual or attentive, are all purified, knowingly or
unknowingly. Even if we cant quite hear what you say, even if we are busy in the asrama and cant hear
every word, or were driving the car and the traffic noise drowns out what you say, still your
transcendental sound vibration purifies everything; it purifies our hearts and the atmosphere around us,
even the walls and furniture. Even if Im spacing out and thinking about something else, still your
transcendental words are purifying my soul. Therefore, we shall always endeavor to hear your tapes in
all circumstances, as they are always supremely auspicious for all entities.
Dear Srila Prabhupada, I love to hear your powerful voice as you smash the rascal scientists in your
lectures. I love to hear your mock debates with your disciples, as they the devils advocate, and how you
smash their atheistic arguments. Once, disciple said, but you are the only person saying this! And you
VyasaPuja2011

immediately countered, Then I am the ONLY intelligent person! Everyone roared laughter. And then
you said, This is a fact! Yes, Srila Prabhupada, it is a fact, that you, and other Vaisnavas as well, are the
only intelligent men this material world. I only feel safe and secure, only when Im hearing your
transcendental voice on my tape player. Whenever I start to feel insecure and fearful of this material
existence, then I play your tapes, and then my will immediately fade away.
I love to hear you tell the glories of Lord Sri Krsna in your original dictation tapes of the Krsna book. I
love to hear your transcendental voice recite the prayers of Akrura and King Mucukunda and Lord
Brahma and others, as your transcendental voice surcharges the transcendental potency of the great
devotee prayers of the Bhagavatam. The sweetness of the Tenth Canto becomes unlimitedly sweeter by
your transcendental voice.
I love to hear your transcendental comment about the ice cream truck outside the temple on La Cienega
Blvd. You faintly hear a bell outside the window, coming up the street, and you stopped your lecture,
and said, What is that sound? One disciple said, It's an ice cream truck, Srila Prabhupada. You
paused for a moment, and then said, Just see, here is maya! Everyone laughs. And then you said, Here
is maya, come and take, come and take This is so transcendentally humorous, that I can listen to this
tape over and over and laugh every time.
I love to hear your classic vintage kirtans, especially the one where there is some bhakta baby whos
crying; who accents your kirtan, as he cries out for Krsna right on beat, exactly when you chant the holy
name of Lord Caitanya. I also love your kirtan where you play the gong so loud and transcendentally in
time. And your harmonium playing is unparalleled in all the three worlds, and even the Gandarvas are
swooning ecstasy and amazement when you play the harmonium, as every note is inspired by
Supersoul.
In all circumstances, may we always hear your tapes and read your books, and thus we will always feel
safe and secure in this dangerous material world.
Your Servant

I simply wont to engage in your service birth after birth writing of Srila Prabhupada are a significant and
useful contribution to the salvation of human beings.
I am deeply in debated to H.D.G.A.C Bhaktivedantha Swamy Prabhupada and it is debt. I shall never be
able to repay but I can at least show some 9 ratitude by joining with Prabhupads disciples in fulfilling
Prabhupads innermost desire, distributing his all books and spreading Krishna consciousness and
undoubtedly the work of H.D.G. A.C Bhaktivedantha Swamy Prabhupad is a great contribution to the
troubled human society of today world (kaliyuga).
This material world is dark by nature and we are actinically illminatiray it with electrical lights, fire and
soon. In any case its nature is dark. But the spiritual nature is full of light, when sun is present there is
no darkness; similarly every planet in the spiritual sky is self -----------.
The entire world is purified simply by the appearance of such a great devotee like you, by your present
the whole world is glorified and all conditioned souls-due to your transcendental presence are also
glorified

You are my only saviour; it is only by your causeless mercy I got your shelter and in the light of
intelligence. I am insignificant full of ignorance, lowly and null without your shelter, blessing & strength
to do service to LORD.
Oh spiritual master, Oh ocean of mercy I cannot do anything better than of your remaining servants
always. So kindly please accept my serventship, Bless me, strengthen me and guide me to serve you to
my excellence.
Thank you OH LORD, OH MY SPIRITUAL MASTER only my saviour.

Srila Prabhupada,
It was you who gave us the knowledge of self realization, raised us to the spiritual platform when the
people are so fallen by sense gratification and serving Maya or falling to it. It was through you I came in
connection with Krishna consciousness, which preaches the glories of self realized souls all over the
globe, it is you Prabhupada.
Prabhupada it was through your instructions, regulations, and principles, I was able to chant 16 rounds
nicely, able to give up meat eating, able to attend mangala Aarthi, Bhagavatham class, delicious prasadam
and kirtan.
Now I can spend some time in life confidently, knowing that Krishna is always with us, looking after
everyone from time to time. I pray hearing about Krishna, remembering about Krishna, chanting,
serving, surrendering, worshipping the Supreme Lord Krishna should be the part of my daily activities.
Prabhupada, you gave me the association of devotees, you gave me the Hare Krishna mantra, I was able
to practice these only since you gave us the abode called ISKCON.
I thank you Srila Prabhupada, for giving us FOLK, ISKCON, KRISHNA and many more. Thank you for
all.
Jai Jai Srila Prabhupada

To my dear spiritual master, srila prabhupada
Om anjana timirandhasya jnananjana satakaya Caksur unmilitam yena tasmai sri gurave namaha
Please accept my unqualified obeisances unto your lotus feet. Prabhupada ; you as the bonafied
representative of the supreme personality of godhead sri krsna, know me very well that what was I
before coming into your movement. I was not following the four regulative principles, not chanting the
holy name , not worshiping the holy name sri krsna. But I was simply trying to find out the ways of
earning the money & friendship with the worldly people which according to your devine instruction was
just an animalistic way of life!
Factually, I am eternally indebted & thankful to all those vaisnavas who mercifully brought this fallen
soul into your lotus feet in ISKCON, Bangalore and directed to attend folk classes . I am currently in folk
hostel and by the kind of our folk preacher I am learning practical devotional service of which singing
kirtan and playing kartal & mrudanga are also a part. I am very greatful to you and fortunate enough for
you took me to the puri rath yatra and gave me a chance to hug the lord Jagannath.jai jagannath !
Please make this fool understand that you are present in your transcendental books and help me to
follow your instructions sincerely. Please give me strength to strictly follow four regulative principles
and ofenselessly chant 16 rounds.

Dear prabhupada, as you only can deliver the most fallen souls of this age like me, please give me what I
lack & preserve what I have to enable my attempts to contribute for your glorious movement.

A few days ago when I was reading Bhagavad-Gita, a thought whizzed past my mind, "why not skip the
purports so that I could speedily finish reading Bhagavad-Gita". I gladly bowed down to this suggestion
coming from my mind and went about reading just the Sanskrit shloka and the corresponding
translation, skipping the purports. This way I could cover for the lost days I didn't read BG. Although,
the Shlokas in the BG are Lord's own words and its translation given by none other than your Divine
Grace, I was still feeling a sense of emptiness and many of the points remained unclear. As I had skipped
reading your Bhaktivedanta purports, I had missed out on so many significant things which you wrote so
mercifully by simplifying it purely for our understanding.
Srila Prabhuapada, I realized that you are "the" transparent medium by which I can understand the
Supreme Lord, who will otherwise perpetually remain elusive to my deceptive senses. And I was doing
just the reverse; I was trying to understand the Lord without your help. In your own words you explain
so beautifully what this transparent medium is, you say - Just as I can see the letters of this book very
nicely through these transparent eyeglasses, without which I cannot see because my eyes are defective.
Similarly, our senses are all defective. We cannot see God with these eyes, we cannot hear Hare Krishna
with these ears, we cannot do anything without the via-medium of the spiritual master. Just as the
defective eyes cannot see without the via-medium of spectacles, so one cannot approach the Supreme
Lord without the transparent via medium of the spiritual master. Transparent means that the via-
medium must be free of contamination. If it is transparent, one can see through it.
Srila Prabhupada, the world has become purified simply by your presence. What to talk of your
followers who have taken your instructions seriously to their hearts and executing them, even those who
engaged their eyes and ears for a brief moment in seeing you walking and talking are considered
purified, such is your personality. The scriptures say:
tad-vijnrtha sa gurum evbhigacchet samit-pi rotriya brahma-niham
"In order to learn the transcendental science, one must approach the bona fide spiritual master in
disciplic succession, who is fixed in the Absolute Truth."
Before coming to you, I didn't know there exists such a thing as "transcendental science" let alone
finding a bona fide guru and approaching him for enlightening me on transcendental science. It was only
your causless mercy that you explained so lucidly not just the transcendental science but also who is a
bona fide guru. It's like you gave us everything we were looking for and also everything we didn't know
we should be looking for. Srila Prabhupada, I will eternally remain indebted to you for your causless
mercy. Also, Srila Prabhupada your presentation of Krishna Consciousness or the Absolute truth or the
conception of God is so perfect, scientific, joyful and revolutionary that it evokes in heart such reverence
and attraction for the Supreme absolute, Sri Krishna.
I will stop here with a humble prayer unto you, which were actually your own prayers to your spiritual
master HDG Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakur and I am simply repeating them - let me with all my
earnestness pray at the lotus feet of my divine master to allow me to suffer the lot for which I am
destined due to my past misdoings, but to let me have this power of recollection: that I am nothing but a
VyasaPuja2011

tiny servant of the Almighty Absolute Godhead, Sri Krishna realized through the unflinching mercy of
my divine master. Let me therefore bow down at his lotus feet with all the humility at my command.
Aspiring to remain your eternal servant,

O Srila Prabhupada! Please accept my humble obeisance unto your lotus feet.
As everyone desires to be happy, I also desired to be happy forever. But as everyone, I also didn't know
which the right path that leads to real happiness was. Because of your causeless mercy I have come to
know that Krishna Consciousness is the only path which can make me eternally happy. I thank you
Prabhupada for showing your causeless mercy upon me. You have not only shown me the goal of my life
but also practically demonstrated how to achieve it. Without caring about your personal comforts you
have struggled so much [even during your old age] to make us experience the real happiness. I thank
you Prabhupada, for everything that you have given me. I thank you for imparting the perfect knowledge
as it is, as it was spoken by the Supreme Personality of Godhead - Krishna. I thank you for creating such
a great conducive atmosphere where everyone can practice Krishna Consciousness up to the standards
which you have instructed. If u wouldn't have created such a great atmosphere then no matter how
much effort I put, I would have never been able to practice Krishna Consciousness to the extent what
I'm able to practice now. It's only because of your causeless mercy that I have got the opportunity to see
the Supreme Personality of Godhead - Krishna every day, to chant his holy names every day, to attend
Mangalarathi every day, to listen to Srimad Bhagavatam every day, to honor Krishna Prasadam every day,
to do Krishnas service every day, to associate with the devotees of Krishna every day, to touch your
lotus feet every day & much more. If you wouldnt have showed your causeless mercy upon me then
how could an insignificant person like me have got these great opportunities? Thank you Prabhupada!
Thank you for all these. You have showed your causeless mercy upon me but Im soo unfortunate that
Im not able to utilize these valuable opportunities to its fullest extent. Im always in anxiety that I may
lose these great opportunities. Prabhupada! Please always keep me under the shade of your lotus feet.
Prabhupada! Having full faith on you & Krishna I have already started my journey towards following the
path which you have laid down. I have faced many challenges & difficulties to follow your instructions
& no matter how much ever difficulties come, I'm ready to face it, to follow your instructions. It's a
different thing that I'm not able to follow all your instructions up to the standards which you have told
but I'm putting my full efforts & I know that one day I'll reach to the stage where Ill be able to follow
your instructions up to the standards which you have laid down. And I'm very confident about this, not
because of the intelligence/body which I have got but only because of your instructions which are soo
potent.
If someone has lent me lakhs or crores of money, I could have easily repaid it but what you have given
me is above all that, which Ill never be able to repay even if I take unlimited births. Prabhupada! You
have given me soo much that it'll be too less even if I give my one life in serving you & your mission.
Prabhupada, I'm not eligible for a boon but because of your causeless mercy if you want to grant me a
boon then please engage me 24 hrs a day in the loving devotional service of Krishna for rest of my life &
please give me a benediction that I'll be able to follow all your instructions up to the standards which
you have laid down. Because I know that, following your instructions up to the standards is the only way
to attain perfection of life.
O Srila Prabhupada! I thank you again & again for everything that you have given me.
Servant of Your Servants,

JAI SRILA PRABHUPAD
Recently I started to coming to ISKCON and attending FOLK classes. Now I am in FOLK-2 level. I
know very little about SRILA PRABHUPAD. What I know about him is HE IS A PURE DEVOTEE OF
LORD KRISHNA and want to change this world like a VRINDAVANA.
Before coming here I did not know anything about LORD KRISHNA and the MAHA-MANTRA. I was
completely in the mode of ignorance and I did more sinful activities. And also I was unable to control
my mind.
After coming here, I came to know little about LORD KRISHNA and the MAHA-MANTRA. Now I can
control my mind wandering here and there.

Please accept humble obeisances from this most fallen soul and kindly accept me as your servant.
I am indebted to you for showing me the correct path to Krsna which is considered as the only success
of human life. I am ever grateful to you for making me realize my constitutional desire, which is Krsna
Prema, through which one gets eternally situated in transcendental bliss. I am thankful to you for
showing me the great dangers and miseries of this material world which I was foolishly thinking to be
the most pleasurable and mercifully giving me the instructions by which I can cross over this ocean of
nescience. I am thanking you again and again for taking me out from the darkest regions of ignorance
and giving me real knowledge.

Even though I have not done anything for you and I dont have any qualificationto serve you, you are
showering your causeless mercy upon me. Hence I am eternally indebted to you. I am trying to serve you
with whatever ability I have, though I am unable to do so. Please accept my service. I am trying to follow
your divine instructions, please give me faith in those instructions and strength to follow it throughout
my lifetime.
Please accept me as your servant. I am urgently hankering for your blessings and guidance. Please help
me render some service to Your Divine Grace.

Namo om Vishnu padaya Krishna-preshtaya bhutale, srimate bhakti Vedanta-swamin iti namine
I offer my respectful obeisances into his divine grace A.C Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, who is very
dear to lord Krishna having taken shelter at the lotus feet.
Namaste sarasvate deve gaura-vani-pracarine Nirvisesa sunyavadi pascatye-desa tarine
Our respectful obeisance is unto you, O spiritual master, servant of Sarasvati Gosvami. You are kindly
preaching the message of lord chaityanyadeva and delivering the western countries, which are filled with
O spiritual master, whenever I have been bewildered by the great mayadevis attack, you come and pull
me just like a spring. Whenever mayadevis attack will occur you reciprocate through the heart or
VyasaPuja2011

through some devotee or through message or through your divine instructions. You always take care of
my devotional service. If due to some reason,sometimes if I dont get up in the morning for mangal
arati,even if the alarm rings,by your causeless mercy, through some devotee or by some sound,my sleep
gets disturbed,and I get up for mangal arti. Whenever I have a doubt regarding some of your
instructions, immediately,without wasting a moment, you either send me a message on my mobile, some
devotee tells the answer, your divine books or through some Bhagvad-gita/srimad bhagavatam class you
reciprocate and clear my doubt. Whenever I fall down by the attack of lust, you by your causeless mercy
on this useless soul, lift me from that guilt and again you establish that strong faith in this Krishna
consciousness movement. Whenever anger and greed get the better of me, you either by your
instructions, or through some devotee, reciprocates and brings me back on the right track. Whenever I
have false ego, you protect me and send a message to guide me and to control my ego. O ocean of mercy,
by your causeless mercy, I could see the holy dhama of Sri Jagannatha puri. By your mercy, I am still in
Krishna consciousness. O srila prabhupada, please always keep me in your shelter, please always keep
me in Krishna consciousness.
O srila prabhupada let me always meditate and follow your divine instructions.
Thank you srila prabhupada for everything that you have provided this useless soul without asking and
also without seeking anything in return.

I am very delighted and got a golden opportunity to say about his divine grace A.C.BHAKTHIVEDANTA
SWAMI PRABHUPADA- Founder Acharya of International Society for Krishna Consciousness ISKCON.
First I am very anxiety to wish Srila Prabhupada for his birthday and now it is his 115th birth
anniversary.
So I wish a many many happy returns of the day for our Jagath Guru Srila Prabhupada.
First I wish to say how I got to know about ISKCON and prabhupada.
At the very first time when I saw ISKCON temple, I felt that no temple in the world is as wonderful as
this temple and slowly I came close contact with this temple like attending heritage feast , programmes
VyasaPuja2011

and kirtans and when I was seeing Srila Prabhupada a thought that he was the builder of this temple and
he is no more.
Then I heard the history of ISKCON in the website, from then I got to know that the builder of this
temple is SRI MADHU PANDIT DASA and now he is the president and SRI CHANCHALAPATI DASA is
the vice-president and Srila Prabhupada was the guru. And when I came close with Krishna
Consciousness I got many and many more details about Srila Prabhupada in ISKCON and I was very
interested to know more and more about him.
So I started to read his books and I was very un-believable that one single person from India went to
America with Rupees 40 and struggled many days to bring Krishna Consciousness in that people. And
that person only built 108 temples and made devotees to come into Krishna Consciousness and travelled
the world for 14 times with 10,000 devotees in twelve years. He is a very great devotee of Krishna.
So from that day I decided to follow his foot-steps to reach Krishna Consciousness like Chanting,
offering Prasadam to lord and spreading Krishna Consciousness to may people.
We are very fortunate to live in the surroundings of this temple. So, Srila Prabhupada has taught us a
wonderful way and track by following his instructions to attain Krishna.
We have all got Golden opportunity to know about Krishna and teachings of Prabhupada with the help
of his disciples. So, I wish this ISKCON organization built by Srila Prabhupada to spread still more
temples of Krishna and I wish all the peoples to come close to ISKCON to know about Krishna.
So, I thank SRI MADHU PANDIT PRABHU, the President of ISKCON-BANGALORE for giving me an
opportunity to tell some nice about Srila Prabhupada and ISKCON. Because of these temples built by
Prabhupada, we got Krishna Consciousness. So, we thank Srila Prabhupada a lot.
I once more wish a many many happy returns of the day to Srila Prabhupada. Now it is his 115th birth
anniversary but still he is with us as a GURU. I finally wish ISKCON to be successful in all their works
with mercy of Krishna and Srila Prabhupada.
CONCLUSION- We must forget all our differences and stand as a united devotees of Krishna to preserve
the hard earned temples of Krishna to reach Krishna with the help of Srila Prabhupada and his teachings.
THANKING YOU

My most respectable, dearmost, magnanimous, merciful Srila Prabhupada, on this most auspicious day
of your divine appearance, I offer my most prostrated respectful Obeisance unto your Lotus Feet. We are
eternally thankful for enjoying all your spiritual gifts and can never repay your debt. Even if Maya is
trying to bring huge stumbling blocks , by your mercy we are somehow able to overcome them. You
have declared that you kick the obstacles by your instructions and your devotion and confidence unto
the Supreme Lord is an inspiration which motivates us to serve you and your movement more and more.
We beg your mercy to always keep us faithful even if we have to face disasters for your sake. We
sincerely pray to Lord Krsna and Lordess Radharani that there shouldnt be any more hinderence in
executing your pure instructions and we beg that you should eternally be the sole Diksa Guru in
ISCKON Banglore and all of your centers, in the hearts of all your true Disciples and beloved children.
The threat that we are facing to pull down your position from ISCKON and replace you with bogus,
ignorant so called guru should be overcome by all means for we know the difference between your
personal administration and others.

Dearest SrilaPrabhupad
My fingers seem to be the bottleneck for the rush of words and feelings of gratitude that I am feeling as I
type this. I dont think it is possible for me to express completely but I can rest in the knowledge that
you know how I feel - no one else could!
I thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking me back to your home and giving me an opportunity
to serve you. I am, now, feeling like a fish who is back in cool, crystal clear and fresh waters after almost
suffocating to death. You knew exactly what I needed. I feel I am back home - with you.
I was reading a short story of a girl and her father. A little girl and her father were crossing a dangerous
bridge. The father was an expert and wanted to help his daughter cross it too. He said, "Please hold my
hand so that you don't fall into the river below"
The little girl said " no father, YOU hold my hand..." The father looked onThe girl continued "there is a
big difference. If I hold your hand chances are, being the fool I am, that I may let go off your hand. but
if YOU hold my hand, I know for sure that no matter what happens, you will NEVER let my hand go"
I feel safe now that I am in your hands and no matter what happens, I know you are there to guide me.
I just pray to you sincerely that this new-found security of mine and the cool shelter of your lotus feet,
may not blind me in pride. I pray that you guide my, thoughts and actions in such a way that at the end
of it all, you'd still be pleased with me. I am painfully terrified of hurting other Vaishnavas or
committing offenses without my knowledge. I am still learning the nuances of devotional life and am at
the rock-bottom of the pyramid.
I also sincerely pray that you continue to guide my daughter and make her a servant of RadhaKrishna.
She is your property and I would like to return her back to you after fulfilling my duty as a mother. I
will never be able to do that without your help or loving guidance.
Thank you Prabhupad, for all your patience and compassion that you have for me.

HARE KRISHNA
DEAR MERCIFUL SRILA PRABHUPADA,I feel I am most fortunate to get the opportunity to touch and
read the books written by you. I feel blessed to be your disciple and have you in high esteem position as
my Guru in my heart.I have always felt the presence of God with me from my childhood. As a child I
grew up asking God for material things to satisfy my wants. Later in my adolescence started to thank
Him for all his grace. But after reading Bhagavat Gita As It Is, and the other books of yours, I have gained
the knowledge to offer my love to Sri Krishna. All these years I was only expecting from the God
Almighty, For the first time I have learnt to give Krishna, give Him my mind, soul, love and everything
and surrender unto his lotus feet. It is all because of your mercy , inspiration and knowledge gained from
your books.I have slowly started learning, enjoying and feeling the ecstatic love of the Supreme Lord
Krishna. I have just kept the first step in Krishna Conciousness. I humbly request you to curb my sense
gratification and make advancement in Spiritual Life. I have commited innumerable sins knowingly and
unknowingly, please forgive me all my sins, and give me the mental ability to avoid all the activities
which go against your words. I know the process of Krishna Conciousness itself is the process of
purifying our hearts. But even after taking up this I fall down from my promise. O holy master, it is only
you who can save me and enlighten my knowledge. Please help me concentrate while chanting the
Mahamantra HARE KRISHNA HARE KRISHNA KRISHNA KRISHNA HARE HARE HARE RAMA HARE
RAMA RAMA RAMA HARE HARE. Help me to endeavour in performing my duties regularly.Now all my
prayers to My Supreme Lord Krishna and my Honourable Guru are to help me to motivate my children
in the path of Krishna Conciousness. Srila Prabhupada please give sufficient intelligence to teach my
children the Love of God, the greatness of the devotees and the Vaishnavas, the four regulative principles
to be followed in spiritual life. Please bestow your grace and kindness on us and guide us to reach our
home, Back to Godhead. Please give me the opportunity to have the association of devotees and offer my
services and pay my respectful obeisance to them.Grant us your divine grace and let us experience the
wonderful leelas of the all attractive Sri Krishna the Supreme God.
Thanking you,
Completely surrendered unto your lotus feet,

My Dear prabhupada, All Glories to you!
I just can't explain in words the bliss I am experiencing in my life after receiving the greatest gift of
Krishna consciousness from you & serving you & Sri RadhaKrishna Chandra in your divine Campus.
It was just a miracle for me to get an opportunity to serve you in this divine campus. I know that its just
bcoz of your causeless mercy on me.
VyasaPuja2011

How will this most fallen conditioned soul express gratitude for this? I just want to be tied with this bliss
life after life without getting caught in Mayas net. Pls help me Prabhupad & make me strong enough to
serve you efficiently. Give shower me with good intelligence so that I could serve Sri Radha Krishna
Chandra more efficiently & do many successful projects for this mission. Make me emotionally very
strong that I could fight the battle of Maya & remain a pet disciple of you life after life. Help me also to
improve my sadhana in a more qualitative way Prabhupada.
I just pray that every moment of my lifetime should be spent at your lotus feet, engaged in serving your
mission. Not a second should pass where I am forgetful of the Lord and service to you. Please continue
to shower your causeless mercy on me Prabhupad. Let me remain in your services life after life. Let me
not want anything other than this...
Jai Srila Prabhupada!Hare Krishna!!
Your Servant,

Hari Om,
Srila Prahbupada has done a wonderful job creating the great Iskcon temple all over India. I had heard a
few words about Iskcon but when our school(Vidyaniketan Public School) started a new class called
VALUES+ I learnt many more things like about Srila Prahbupada, Maharaj
Yudhistira and Gauranga,etc. Devotees get up early the morning and chant prayers around 4:00 am to
5:30 am because they believe that they can talk directly to the god on this time. And what they talk to
the god will come true. This is very important in our life.Today(29-7-2011)in our values+ class, our sir
told about Vyasa puja and we can write letters. This is the letter a have written of my own.Last but not
the least, I wish "Many many happy returns of the day" to Srila Prabhupada and I thank a lot to him.I
would you all like my letter.

Thanking you for what you have done to us cant serve the cause for you have to please guide me in help
serving your mission to the fullest so that you become satisfied and help people to progress in their
KRISHNA CONSIOUSNESS.
We are so much indebt to you PRABHUPADA for without you we would have still remained karmis and
fools going after material miseries. It is out of your causeless mercy that we have come to know so much
of LORD. You have given us excellent books which even a simple man can understand. You took so
much of hardships to prepare and compile these books and sacrificed your entire life doing this for the
goodness of whole mankind.
You are the one and only saviour of the whole world and what else can we do to you other than serving
your mission and make you happy.
Also please guide us to come out of this guru issue so that you are established as sole diksha guru of
ISKCON and make more and more people to worship your lotus feet.

Srila Prabhupada has shown the path of the devotees upto Krishna, on which the devotees can walk
without hesitation, very easily he can reach to Krishna where devotee can see Krishna directly by
performing various devotional service, singing glories of the lord, offering prasadam to lord and in many
more ways he gives pleasure to Krishna and taking the pleasure from Krishna. All this is possible only by
our guru acharya Srila Prabhupada. Thank you very very much prabhupada I am very happy in my life
just because of your path, way of life you have given to me or us. Once again I thank you very very much

FOR MY DEAR GURUSRILA PRABHUPADA
There was something missing inside me,
You showed me the way to reach there and see,
That light descending from the heavenly skies,
Is nothing but the elixir pouring out of Krishnas eyes.
You made me realize my love for Him,
Which made me strong and helped me swim,
This ocean of miseries, which it really is,
Holding your hand will help me come out of this.
The path to Krishna is there in front of me,
Treading this one will surely set me free.
You are my light to the world of Dear Lord,
Bestow upon me, your blessings Srila Prabhupada.
To feel the presence of that Supreme soul in my heart,
Give me shelter under your lotus feet like a yacht,
Which keeps on sailing in this ocean of thought,
Be with me always Dear Gurudev Srila Prabhupada.
Thank you for giving such matchless gift to me.

Bhaktin Karishma S Varshney
On your 115
th
glorious appearance day, first of all, I would like to thank you for showing us the path of
liberation from this material world by chanting of Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare
Hare, Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare which is very influential and powerful. However I
am not able to chant 16 rounds everyday. I beg of your mercy, as you are so merciful to your devotees.
Please give me strength and power to chant 16 rounds every day. Seeking your mercy always.
Karishma S Varshney
Bhaktin Karnaka Mahakud
Hare Krishna
Having committed to bring about a significant change in ones life by taking to the teachings of Krishna
Consciousness its now time to venture deeper into the foundations of this great science.
In this age of Kali the practical system of religion for everyone is the chanting of the holy name of the
Godhead. In the age of kali people should simply chant the holy name of Supreme personality of
Godhead.

Bhaktin Karuna N
Prabhupad, I have been chanting from 2003 the prescribed rounds of chanting by your mercy. But I was
unable to chant for more than a week due to various reasons in the month of June 2010. This period was
hellish for me I was subject to irritability, lost my calm. Anyone close to me could easily notice the
changes in me. I felt i was away from the light of Guru. This is the time I understood what chanting is to
me. I prayed you to resume my chanting and forgive me if i have committed any offense at your lotus
feet.
VyasaPuja2011

Prabhupad thank you very much! I am able to resume my chanting and I am doing it regularly. Please
help me to continue with the chanting come what may and progress in Krishna Consciousness.
Your humble servant, Karuna N

Jai srila prabhupada
Through your books we can know Krishna. We can attain the lotus feet of Krishna because, you have
shown us the path to attain him by your books, voice, chanting, temples and by your GRACE.
You have made it possible to establish temples all around the world for lord Krishna, to chant his holy
names, have delicious (satvik) prasadam.
We are sure to attain GOLOKA, with your association.
Just as bees take so much of effort to collect nectar from flowers and store in the form of HONEY, you
have given us the books from which we can be blessed by lord krishnas sweetness.
Jai radha raman
All glories to Srila Prabhupad. Srila Prabhupad, my senses are polluted with material nature. Please be
merciful onto me to purify my senses with your divine knowledge. Your spiritual knowledge is like
water in the ocean; Please put few drops of water onto me to purify my senses.

Please accept this fallen souls humble and respectful obeisances unto you Lotus Feet. Srila Prabhupad it
is through your causeless mercy that you have given this fallen soul shelter under your Lotus feet in your
house(Srila Prabhupad's ISKCON Bangalore), Srila Prabhupad thank you very much for engaging this
fallen soul in your service but this one word or such innumerable words or sentences framed out of this
material language are not sufficient in fact inefficient in expressing a disciple's gratitude to a Bonafide
Spiritual master and to tell what you are and what you have bestowed me with?.
O Universal teacher, very life of all your true disciple's you have protected innumerable fallen souls from
rotting in this material world by showering your causeless mercy on them, I remember I was in such an
embarrassing situation in this material world without the knowledge or understanding about Who I am?
Your Divine Grace protected me from rotting in this illusory world and given me your shelter. You have
shown the right path, true meaning of life, our relationship with Krishna as servants.. this list will never
end. Thank you very much for everything Srila Prabhupad.
When I turn back and see my earlier life, Krishna had given everything but then too life was so
embarrassing, disgusting, things were unbearable... which I did not even realize before coming in touch
with your gem stones Books written by Your Divine Grace. Now you have revealed me whatever
worldly things I had was only 0's(zeroes) now by your causeless mercy you have bestowed me with that
missing 1(one) - Krishna and made this life so valuable. Somewhere in your book I remember reading
Krishna takes us to a Spiritual Master and Spiritual Master takes us to Krishna, our Radha Krishna-
chandra by Their causeless mercy have brought me to Your Divine Grace, not only me many such souls
have been blessed by coming in touch with Your Divine Grace, taking your shelter, serving your
mission.... and thanks to Krishna for bestowing an endless ocean(Srila Prabhupada) in this
desert(Material world) and also for bringing us under the shelter of Srila Prabhupad's Lotus Feet.
VyasaPuja2011

Srila Prabhupad when Temple had organized a yatra for Dwarka and a slide of the presentation stated
Dwaraka Door to liberation and Abode of the Krishna was also explained, now I realize by your
causeless mercy, yes, it is true it was Door to liberation Your Abode where Krishna is present :
ISKCON Bangalore. Though I was in touch with Temple from few years, I had never rendered any
service or never even dreamt of thinking of existence of any such service, I was in such an illusory world
doing nonsense years together, Your Divine Grace saved me from being rotted in that gutter, Srila
Prabhupad by your causeless mercy you entered this life and took charge of me and this life and changed
everything within no time. It is only Your Divine Grace's causeless mercy through which all these have
happened, only by You Prabhupad, where do I such a fallen soul have any qualification to serve your
transcendental mission.
On this auspicious occasion of appearance of Your Divine Grace I will promise you that this beautiful life
which is bestowed by Your Divine Grace and Their Lordships will be spent only in your devotional
service, under the shelter of your Lotus Feet in Your house, Srila Prabhupad I beg you to please help me
and guide me in keeping up this promise, without your blessings and causeless mercy it cannot happen
or come true. Please help me in becoming your true disciple. I also beg Your Divine Grace not only this
life but please engage me in your service forever and please accept me as your eternal servant and always
keep me under the shelter of your Lotus Feet, I do not want anything else.
Srila Prabhupad I am inefficient, unintelligent, have offended your disciples, ineligible to render your
service, it is very true but Srila Prabhupad you have become my life, I do not know anything other than
you nor do I want to know, I humbly beg you to please bestow your mercy and keep me always under
the shelter of your Lotus Feet. In this process of reviewing our consciousness, in serving you please help
me in giving that knowledge and intelligence to always seek shelter of your Lotus feet and always be
surrendered unto your Lotus Feet and cling to your Lotus Feet at any extent or situation and please
protect me from maya. Beg you to chastise me, punish me, help me, guide me in understanding
wherever my attitude is wrong, I beg you to make me act according to your wish and to be an
instrument in your mission. Help me in surrendering unto Your Divine Grace's Lotus Feet.

Shri Srila Prabhupada is the best guru and a well known Saint. We are receiving the showers of blessing
from the sky.
He has spread the Krishna consciousness all around the world. We are all for him to do our best deeds at
the level best.He has constructed 108 temples of ISKCON, if he would have been alive for still for few
more years and we would have seen more temples.
Due to his simplicity and his divine powers he has become the greatest saint of the world.Due to his
great efforts ISKCON temples around the world has greatest degree of discipline and devotion. Charity is
the main aim of ISKCON as giving alms to the poor. Some welfare measures like Akshaya Patra,
donation collection for the welfare measures of the poor.
Due to his service GOD has been showing mercy on everyone. Make hay while the sunshines, the
proverb says but we should use this opportunity to read Bhagavad gita and have good knowledge. We
should read all other Krishnas books also once before our death. We should follow the path of
Prabhupad in order to achieve salvation
BEST THOUGHTS
BEST TEACHER - IS EXPERIENCE.
BEST STUDENT - IS TO ATTEMPT
BEST BOOK - IS LIFE
VyasaPuja2011

BEST LESSON - IS PATTIENCE
BEST FRIEND - IS PRAISE
BEST SPORTS - IS OUR DUTY
BEST FOOD - IS THOUGHT.
BEST DRESS - IS SMILE
BEST SHELTER - IS TRUTH
BEST MEDICINE - IS LAUGH
BEST HOBBY - IS SERVICE
BEST RELIGION - IS HUMANITY.
So I think all the above holds good for Shri Srila Prabhupada. If we all follow the rules of Prabhupada
who is our guru, we all will reach the foot prints of god.
Thanking You

SrilaPrabhupada under the banner of ISKON (International Society for Krishna
Consciousness) and through his books, taught us how to lead life. The teachings of Lord Sri Krishna and
Srila Prabhupada were unlike. While Lord Sri Krishna taught us that our enemies should be destroyed,
Srila Prabhupada taught us to forgive them and bore no exiles against our ill wishes.
We should have some kind of aim in our life or else we are no lesser than dead soul. We can learn
from Srila Prabhupadas life that if we have a strong determination in our mind, then come what may,
nothing can compromise us off it. He taught us that go for your aim, dont let yourself down and dont
yield yourself before insolent might. The best example for this is how Srila Prabhupada built 108 Sri
Krishna temples though he had undergone great perils to achieve it but with only one humble weapon
: devotion. Srila Prabhupada instructed us to live amicably among our fellow beings. We have to find the
Absolute Truth of Life which lies nowhere but in our own Soul which is nothing but the Almighty God
is where we find true happiness, true peace.
If you are born as a human, try your level best to die as a human as well by helping others extremely as
you can. This is the significance of Srila Prabhupada teachings.
He taught us that if we find Lord Krishna even in failure, than success can be truly ours. He proved that
Devotion in Krishna can act as beawns of light through lonely darkness of life. Honesty, dedication,
ahimsa, righteousness are the qualities that alone can help us find our way to godliness. Srila
Prabhupada stated that Try, try till you succeed , since success is not meant for a single person and if
it is others success today, it would be yours tomorrow. In short he proved that Rome isnt built in a
day.

Dear Prabhupada,
Please accept my humble obeisance at Your lotus feet.
I was born in the darkest ignorance and my spiritual master opened my eyes with the torch light of
knowledge.I offer my respectful obeisances unto Him.
deeply submerged in the darkness of ignorance, I wondered '' In the material world people worship
different gods. Who amongst them is the Supreme Personality of Godhead? Who created this world?
Why have we taken birth as human beings?''
All these were unanswered questions. Not only these, but all the innumerable questions that were in my
mind were answered when You bestowed your merciful glance on me through Your books.
Although I have read some of your books & although I know the importance of chanting Hare Krishna
maha mantra I am such an unfortunate rebellious soul that I often do not complete my rounds and keep
postponing it unnecessarily. My mind always finds reasons not to chant. Dear Prabhupada please help
me to chant my rounds regularly. Please bless me with the association of devotees.
Please forgive me for the innumerable offences that I have committed at Your lotus feet. Let Your glories
be spread all over the three worlds.
Your insignificant most fallen servant

Humble pranams, dandavats and humble obeisciences to Guru and Gauranga.
My Guru has made me what I am today. He has showed me the path to Liberation and has given me the
most valuable gift by teaching me the most wonderful pleasure in this universe; that is the taste of the
Lords nama.
When I was wasting my life in useless activities and squandering time He came to my rescue as a mother
rescues her beloved child and gave me shelter in His Lotus Feet. He has showered me with immense
Love and has given me the shade of His Mercy. He guides me every day in and out with His grace.
VyasaPuja2011

Where would I be without Him? He has channeled my energies and has brought focus in to my life by
showing my what is Bhakthi for the Lord and Guru..
He gave me the chanting mala and told me how it can work magic with the chanting of 16 rounds of
Hare Krsna Hare Krsna Krsna Krsna Hare Hare Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare. Oh how
sweet is the nectar of the Lords Name !!!! I dedicate its pleasure to the Lotus feet of my Lord and
Master, Prabhupada! Jai Prabhupad Jai Srila Prabhupad!!!
May He be my master birth after birth.
This is dasanu dasanu dasanu dasi

My dear Guru Maharaj Srila Prabhupada, before I say anything, I bow down to your Lotus Feet 108
times, for choosing me in this movement. Kindly forgive me for all the Vishnava Aparadh I have
VyasaPuja2011

commited knowingly or unknowingly. Gurudev, please be my spiritual eternal father forever. I sincerely
pray thee to use me (dust) for some purpose, so it pleases thee. I know Im of no use, but thine Devine
touch can change a dust to a Spiritual use. Please accept this request and show at least a tiny of mercy on
this soul. Please be the Spiritual father to one and all. Kindly glance at this dust and make me faithful to
thee.

Bhaktin Prathiba K
GURU VANDANA
GURU is none other than GOD himself. The guru is the physical embodiment of the lord taken by him
in order show us the way (marga darshan). Guru is not only endowed with all divine qualities but he is
an embodiment of knowledge and divine powers. He is a living saint experiencing Brahma Shanti
within.The guru can be likened to a TORCH just as torch dispels darkness and shows us the way so
also the guru shows GOD.GURU is not a person or an individual, if this was so, every other individual
would have become a guru. It is true to our ignorant eye, Guru appears an ordinary human being, with
ordinary human fragilities, but we cannot judge the guru from his physical aspects or his outward
actions. It is His inner self that is the GURUTATVA.The guru is doing all actions of a human being
while his mind and heart are completely engrossed in Divinity. He is calm, untouched unruffled (Alipta,
Virakta, Magna) like a lotus. The lotus may grow in the dirty muddy pond but it remains untouched and
unsullied.The GURU is the Absolute Truth, Ultimate Reality or rather the only reality. He is nothing but
kindness, grace, benevolence and Supreme forgiveness. How do we gain the grace of the guru? We get
his grace by our complete surrender to him.

Bhaktin Prathibha
TO THE REPRESENTATIVE OF LORD KRISHNA
I am not getting the words to write .Yet I will try to encapsulate His remembrance is significant. I salute

Dear Prabhupad, please accept my humble obeisances at your Lotus Feet.
Please accept this small offering for this Vyasa puja 2011.
Firstly Prabhupad, thank you very much for engaging us in preaching work and also getting associated
with devotees through Krishna Ashrya program. Our cell at Koramangala Chamundeswari temple is
progressing well in KC, now a days by your mercy new comers are gradually joining the program and
Chitra mataji is doing very well in preaching, by travelling all the way from her place, though it is far,
more than 15 kms (one way journey). Thank you for inspiring all of us to participate in your mission
seriously. Please bless the new comers to get attracted to KC and progress, as for the beginners there will
be lots of external disturbances. I hope that you will be pleased by hearing that this KA prg is
successfully developing.
Secondly, Thank you for giving us a chance to try to become your initiated disciple. Me and my husband
both have given our written exams for the Diksha program. The study material which is prepared from
your teachings helped us a lot to prepare well for the exam. There will be interviews next, if we meet the
expectations set for initiation, then we will get a spiritual name which will be listed in your Initiated
disciple book.
Prabhupad, if we get initiated by your mercy, please bless us to continue and act in KC following your
instructions seriously. We seek your blessings which is very much necessary for a neophyte devotee like
VyasaPuja2011

me. Please help us to please Lord Krishna and to please you always by our deeds. Please also bless my in-
laws and my parents to progress more in KC.
Please forgive us if we have knowingly or unknowingly committed offenses at your Lotus Feet.
All Glories to Srila Prabhupad!
Jai Prabhupad!

Bhaktin Sangeetha B
From thy Lotus feet come my happiness. Thank you for all that you provided in my life. The change of
consciousness in me has changed my lifestyle drastically. Hope it transforms to pure Krsna
Consciousness in the near future. O Srila Prabhupada you make me do all that you desire and it goes on
perfectly well but the only thing which troubles my service to you is that it doesnt last for a long period.
Hence, please help me aim at those goals constantly with no change of mind towards any thing which
departs me from your service. Srila Prabhupada, I would like to thank you once again from the bottom of
my heart for providing all that I deserve for my future advancement in Krsna Consciousness.
Wish to serve you for the rest of my life!!!
My Cherished desire is to be one of your confidential servants.
Sangeetha.B
Bhaktin Saraswathy
Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupa.
I had been eternally suffereing in this material world Gurudeva you saved me from this suffering By your
kindly initiating me into sublime process of Krishna Consciousness I become firm in my resolve to take
to Krishna's devotional Service. You inspired me to take up with firm determination the chanting of 16
rounds every day and the following of the four regulative principles and enlightened me regarding the
importance of association is for developing me mood of devotion and clearly proved to me the
Superiorty of the Devotional service.
Vyasapuja means the Day celebrate the appearence of the Spiritual master into this world. Its named
after the Rishi known as the Vedavyas. He was the literary incarnation of the Lord , who has written the
vedas and paramguru the source of all vedic knowledge The vyas pooja celebrates on the Spiritual
master's appearence day is a day to worship him as the representative of Krishna. Make homages and
VyasaPuja2011

present gifts into him . Fast until noon and then offer him a sumptuous feast at noon. After he accepts
the feast then we partake it as his scared remnants.
To reciprocate his loving kindness we must surrender our mind, body and soul into him. Krishna says
that if we want to be His devotee that we have to become the devotee of His devotee. So surrender
ourselves fully at the lotus feet of Srila Prabhupada so that Lord Krishna may accept us as His Devotee.
When we celebrate vyas puja it has a dual effect. The Supreme Lord is satisfied and also we get the
mercy of the Spiritual master.
The mission of His Divine Grace A.C.Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada which is the Mission and that
they can take up the preaching spirit with great enthusiasm .
We want people to take the opportunity to make full use of this human form of life and to chant Hare
Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare . In
this way can do the greatest benefit for the fallen souls in this KaliYuga
In the parampara one good disciple will gloryfy the whole parampara. So His Divine Grace
A.C.Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada because He took this message around the world he has created a
very good name for the disciplic succession following Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu. So must be very
carefulto do the something to be a good example of His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami
Prabhupada.
Srila Prabhupada lives forever through His books
aaji se subidhaane tomaara smarana bhela baro aasaa daakitam taai
aamitomaara nitya-daasa taal Kori eta aasa tumi bina anya gati naai.
Today that remembrance of You came to me in a very nice way.Because I have a great longing I called to
You . I am your etenal servant and therefore I desire Your association so much .O Lord Krishna except
for You there is no other meansof success.
Hare Krishna,

To my dearest Prabhupad,
Thank you Prabhupad for giving me this opportunity to be associated with you. You are so wonderful.
You gave me my Lord, my Krishna. You are the one who gave the real meaning to my life. How can I
ever thank you for what you have given me Prabhupad. You gave the goal of my life.
Prabhupad I was rotting in this material world being ignorant. Because of your mercy my dearest
spiritual master, I got my real master in my life. You made me realize whom I should actually be a
servant of. Prabhupada I have no words to explain how much you are merciful. Your mercy is the only
hope for me to reach my master, Krishna. Prabhupad be merciful unto me and my family and make us
your eternal servants. You taught me to love Krishna, adore Krishna, to serve Krishna. Please be merciful
unto us & make us sincere, obedient & eternal servants of yourselves.
I thank my Lord Krishna for He has given me the best gift of my life, my spiritual master who alone can
take us back to my Lord. And I thank my dearest spiritual master my Prabhupad for giving me my Lord,
Krishna.
Prabhupad please use us completely in you service. Please dont let this life get wasted. Please take us in
your shelter.
Thanking you Prabhupada for all the mercy you have shown on us, we are unworthy & undeserving, but
still you bestowed your mercy upon us by giving us this opportunity

Our Divine Father and Spiritual master. On Your 115
th
Appearance day, we would like to re-dedicate our
lives in your service. 8 wonderful years have passed and as we are entering our 9
th
year, by your mercy,
we have been able to see the miracles in our lives, for which we can never possibly repay Your Divine
Grace. So, kindly keep us engaged in your eternal service.
During one of our reading sessions, we came across a morning walk conversation, where Your disciple
was giving a translation of a verse from the Puranas and immediately in a heart-beat you gave the verse
as it is:
Guru Bahavah Santi Vittapaharakah | Gurun Na Tu Pasyami Sisya Santapaharakah ||
Translation: You will find many gurus, who are expert at taking away their disciples wealth, but you will
rarely find a Guru, who takes away the miseries of his disciples.
I was struck by how seamlessly you could bring some verse in the Puranas, which only proves the Vedic
injunction right that a Guru is one, who has thoroughly assimilated the knowledge of the Vedas and
gives the essence to his disciples.
Many ask whether it is possible that we can see spiritual bliss in this life and to them the answer is very
clear, if we follow Srila Prabhupadas words as our life and soul, we can practically see how we can be
happy in our lives.
This year, as every year, brought its challenges to the movement. You once remarked to your disciples
that nothing can affect our movement from the outside, the only problem is that we can destroy the
movement from within. That is happening in front of our eyes and saddens many sincere devotees, as
ones who preach must first practice.
By your mercy, even though our reputation was in shreds all over the media, still we were able to
continue in our roles as Values mentors and we saw many children also disturbed, who came to us with
questions. We fervently hope and pray that you will continue to put your hands on our heads, even
though we are incapable and guide us in this journey, which is going to be tumultuous in a short while.
Reading your books every day and quality chanting every day and Mangala arati everyday has been the
source of our strength and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts, for giving us a purpose in life.
Generally it is extremely difficult for elderly persons to follow the rigorous routine of the Gaudiya
Vaishnava Sampradaya, but then again, as you mentioned in one lecture that old age is only a bodily
concept and in the spiritual sense there is nothing called tiredness, it is just eternal service and my
mother has been a living epitomy of this statement of yours. At her age, she is working like a young girl
and co-operating whole heartedly with your teachings and that is another gift, which I would like to
thank you. You have given us everything that we need to have a peaceful Krishna Conscious life and
everyday is a blessing for us.
All the so called merits of material world, friendship, love and society go through their own turbulences
and sometimes, when we come to Krishna Consciousness expecting the same three things, it is an
obvious disappointment to find that there is nothing like that even in a spiritual organization, but then
what have we learnt from your teachings? we are not living in utopia and the only friendship, family and
love that we can expect are from you, Srila Prabhupada and that is enough for us to overcome
disappointments and frustrations and we only pray and hope that we continue to live up to your
expectations and think of you all the time.
VyasaPuja2011

In one of our reading in CC, there was an instruction by Lord Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, that one who
wishes to be a part of Lord Krishnas entourage in Goloka Vrindavana, must select a personality, a dear
devotee of Lord Krishna and follow in his footsteps to perfect his destination. We could only think of
one personality and that is YOU, Srila Prabhupada. We just would like to have an opportunity to render
some personal service to You, life after life. That is our only prayer.
Your Eternal servants

I was reading your Bhagavad Gita As It Is after a long gap and I happened to read 9.31 and 9.32 in
which you mention that those who are born in sinful families can attain highest perfection of life only
through devotional service and by the mercy of the pure devotee of Krishna. It is very true in my case.
VyasaPuja2011

By your mercy, I have been put under the care of a good family where I have the opportunity for
executing devotional service. Thank you for your causeless mercy on me.
I could not write offerings to you for the past two years. This year I realized that it is my duty to write
homage to you to show that I strongly accept only you as my spiritual master and no one else. Please
bestow your abundant blessings on the devotees of ISKCON Bangalore, give them the ability to fight
against all the self-made gurus who are trying to replace you, and help them to establish you as the sole
acharya for the entire world.
Trying to become your servant,
Sowmya.

Hare Krishna,
To my respected Guru,
I am thankful to you for opening my eyes and showing me what the Absolute Truth means. I have now
realised th purpose of life and the Ultimate goal of my life.Though I haven't seen life to know what it is
about, I know that I am blessed with Krishna conciusness. People around me call this a myth, but it is
you who has enlivened my faith in the Supreme.My life now revolves only around the Supreme
Personality OF Godhead, Krishna and I know of nothing beyond Him. Now my happiness and
satisfaction lies in His. I have no words to thank you enough for leading me on this path.I shall be ever
greatful to you.I thank you once again and this knowledge that you have given has made me sure that I
will not take another birth.

Please accept my humble obeisances at your divine lotus feet which are my only shelter.
Dear Prabhupada, you mercifully came to this material world to save all the fallen conditioned souls.
Krishna is very kind, He Himself descends to this world whenever He feels there is a need to protect
dharma and save all His devotees and punish the miscreants. The people of this Kali Yuga are especially
blessed because of the appearance of the most magnanimous Lord Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu who freely
distributed Krishna Prema through Hari Nam Sankirtana which flooded the Navadweep Dham 500 years
ago. Oh most merciful Prabhupada you flooded the whole world with the same Sankirtana movement
purifying the earth with your divine presence and you are very dear to Krishna. Though your Vapu or
physical presence may not be there you still continue to live to save all those who are sincere souls
through your instructions, your books, your letters, your VANI...etc, and so those who think that you do
not exist anymore in this world are in the darkest mode of ignorance. How is it possible for someone
who is not living to influence so many living entities and make them sincere devotees of Krishna? Your
sincere devotees of ISKCON Bangalore are struggling hard to establish this TRUTH that you are the
ONLY JAGADGURU who can save all of us and take us back to Krishna, and now it is in Krishnas hands
to help us in this struggle for truth.
Dear Prabhupada your mercy and presence can be felt at every nook and corner of ISKCON Bangalore
and that is why I strongly feel no one can cause any kind of disturbance to this temple or its devotees, all
the devotees here are very strongly attached to you and that is why you have filled them with full of life
for preaching your movement so vigorously. All that I beg from you my dear Spiritual Master is please
continue to save us all life after life because you are eternally our Spiritual Master and are the life and
soul of all your disciples.
Your eternal servant, Thejaswini

HARE KRISHNA, To the great spiritual master. Srila Prabhupada, before coming in touch with ISKCON.
I have committed many sinful activities. I used to think that God is generating all thought in my mind
both (good and bad). So that we have to fallow what ever my mind is generating thoughts.
But now I am clear that we have to control our thoughts and surrender on to Lord Krishna by chanting
the MAHA MANTRA. It is true that one can control his mind and take it in a way you actually need to
go. By chanting this mantra. I was able to control all my addicts to the greater extent. I have hope that I
will over come all my addicts 1 day and surrender on to lord Krishna.
Yours servant

Srila Prabhupada, I am not finding words how to reciprocate for the direction I got for the real purpose
of taking birth in human form but sincerely I will say from my heart a lot of change in my thinking for
spending the limited and precious time of human form.
I am continuing my Chanting, reading books, and visiting temple regularly. Inspired by my routine my

Srila Prabhupada by the good association of devotees here in ISKCON Bellary temple and by your grace
only we could visit to Holy place of Puri and Mayapur Dham recently and Where I could really realize
presence of Shri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu. The association of devotees for 10 continous days made lot of

I am trying to overcome from material attachment and I am sure with your grace it will come true.
I wish to extend my thanks to All devotees here in ISKCON Bellary for extending their cooperation &
support.

Please accept my most respectful obeisances at the dust of your lotus feet. All glories to your divine
grace. It is because of your tireless efforts that many millions of people around the world have come to
know about Lord Krishna and practicing serious spiritual life. You have given us Krishna in the form of
many books, many festivals, the holy names and pure devotees, without whose guidance we would not
know you in full glory. Right from my boyhood days; I was not able to understand my purpose of life;
since my queries regarding worshipping the demigods was not at all answered by anyone in my life. In
fact I went to many temples & followed many religious camps but answers which I got were
unsatisfactory. I always thought that here in this world, where everyone is worshipping the demigods &
fulfilling their respective desires. Then why this discrimination is going on this world? Why so much
sufferings, so much pain? At last with your blessings my all the unanswered queries have been fulfilled
& really I feel very enthusiastic in my life now.
Srila Prabhupada, I beg for your blessings, so that I may be able to be successful in my
devotional life. I will never forget to serve you and your devotees life after life.

All glories to your lotus feet. Thank you for giving me an opportunity to write an offering to your divine
grace on the auspicious day of your appearance. By your causeless mercy I have come in contact with
ISKCON Bangalore, where you are personally present through your instructions guiding your sincere
disciples to carry over the movement in a magnanimous way.
Prabhupada it is by your sanction that the recent tribulations have come up. The devotees of ISKCON
BANGALORE are ready to accept any situations since they have clear understanding that nothing can
happen without your sanction. These tribulations are hampering since they are consuming lot of
resources. Now the devotees have appealed in Supreme Court for justice. Even though our documents
are all correct, unfortunately authority upholding the law which is supposed to be direct representative
of lord has lost its sanctity because of the influence of the age of KALI. Your disciples, who are very dear
to you, gave me an understanding that its by higher plan that the recent tribulations are going on and
this period of rough patch will be followed by a major event. Your lila is unlimited and inconceivable by
neophytes like me.
By your divine grace I theoretically know that the goal of human form of life should be going back home,
back to godhead. Without your mercy the practical understanding of this goal cannot be got. Always
begging you for your mercy to chant sixteen rounds, follow four regulative principles, rising up early, to
become a soldier in Mahaprabhus army. Praying to you,

Hare Krishna Prabhupada ji,
Please accept my obeisances at your lotus feet. I am one of the most fortunate souls on this planet to
receive the highest and most confidential knowledge from you. Your Krishna consciousness movement
is the only means to understand the true purpose and goal of the life. It just took me a few minutes to
transform my mind when I first heard about the concept through one of your lectures. I realised it is
your mercy that blessed me with this spiritual knowledge because I see a lot of people who are very
educated and successful materialistically , but they do not understand Krishna consciousness. No
material achievement of this world can match the work that you have done by translating Bhagavad Gita
and Srimad Bhagavatam in plain and simple English along with the purport that have real life examples
from todays world. My life has changed after understanding Krishna consciousness and chanting Hare
Krishna Maha Mantra in the following ways:
I can now differentiate myself from my body and can recognise that I am living in this body and it is just
an instrument given to us for living on this earth.
I have stopped thinking and running behind materialistic achievements as I understand that everything
that is materialistic is temporary and will destroy one day.
I have raised myself above the concept of I and mine. Everything I possess belong to Krishna and he is
the real proprietor.
VyasaPuja2011

I understood that we have to be indifferent to happiness and suffering. It is our past karmas that give us
sufferings and happiness.
On this auspicious occasion of vyasa puja, I beg you to give me the intelligence and good sense so that I
can utilise my life for serving Krishna consciousness mission. Please forgive me for my mistakes and
always keep me in association of pure Krishna devotees.

Hare Krishna.
Please accept our most humble obeisances at your divine lotus feet from entire Madan family. All glories
to you on this most auspicious appearance day, our spiritual master.
I recall the day when we first walked into ISKCON Bangalore Radha Krishna Chandra temple and was
amazed to see the spiritual environment all around, awesome deities blessings personally each of the
devotees who walked in with true love & bhakti bhaav, amazing aarti of the deities, Hare Krishna
kirtan, sounds of mridanga & kartaal piercing into our soul, making me dance endlessly in jubilation. I
could understand that this was just the beginning of a new path for all of us.
I started wondering how every single minute detail of deity worship is taken care and who brought this
to Indian culture. It was none other than you my master. Srila Prabhupada ki jai.
Since then, my path of spirituality has only grown from pillar to pillar and I can confidently say that you
have been guiding me in all moments of struggle & happiness. I have learnt over the years who am I,
who is God, what is our relationship with God, why we have taken this human form and what is our real
goal. All this has been possible only because of your divine grace and through your enormous treasure of
books for which you spent endless days & nights to make a common man understand his real existence.
I still remember the night, when you came in my dream. I had my head in your lap you were making me
sleep, just like a Father giving comfort, love & protection to his child. That was a defining moment in
my life and I could not have asked for anything more.
Your messages through various means has taught us that we should always pray for the Lotus feet of
Radha & Krishna, as there cannot be any bigger blessings that human being can get. All other things are
only material and the biggest gift could only be Bhakti. If any human being is blessed with Bhakti of
Radha Krishna, he is the most richest person on this universe.
O spiritual master, you have been our source of inspiration, our Role model, our true Hero and we all
pray on this special day of your appearance to give us the strength & determination to serve your
mission in this world, to continue preaching Krishna consciousness, walk the path you have shown us,
grow our understanding of the Lord, love each of the spicies who exists on this planet, make new
devotees, do 16 rounds of quality chanting every day, offer our every moment of life to the Lord, so that
when we leave this body, you should feel proud to take us back to Krishna.
Please forgive my offenses and give me the intelligence to carry out your orders under the protection of
your divine movement in the association of your sincere devotees.
Servant.
Srila Prabhupad ki JaiHari Bol.

All glories to Sri A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, the most confidential dear servant of the
Supreme Lord Krishna, appeared in land of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu and as a true disciple of Srila
Bhaktisiddantha Saraswathi Thakur took up the duty of purifying the minds and hearts of all the
conditioned souls of this world who are fallen into the deep pit of ignorance and sinful activities. Just
like a good father unhesitatingly accepted it as his duty to nurture and protect the devotees.
His Divine Grace accepted every fallen devotee and every ordinary man like me who somehow or other
was attracted to the Lord in the form of His sankirtana movement or himself.
Twenty Six qualities of pure devotee of Krishna and as of Acharya are seen in Srila Prabhupad

Krpalu - mercy Suci - cleanliness
Akrta-droha humility Akincana - being without material possessions
Satya-sara truthfulness Sarvopakaraka - performing welfare work for everyone
Sama - equality to all Santa - peacefulness
Nidosa - faultlessness Krsnaika-srana - surrendered to Krishna
Vadanya - magnanimousness Apramatta - being sober, not inebriated
Mrdu - mildness Manada - respectfulness
Amani - pridelessness Karuna - compassion
Gambhira - very grave Kavi - poetic
Maitra - friendliness Mauni - silent in nonsense
Daksa - expert Karunikah - very merciful
Titiksavah - toleration, forbearance
Suhrdah sarva-dehinam - being the well-wisher of every living entity
Ajata-satravah santah - having no enemies, being very peaceful
Akama - being free of material desires
Aniha - indifference to material acquisitions
Sthira - being fixed in devotional service
Vijita-sad-guna - completely controls the six bad qualities
Mita-bhuk - eating only as much as required
Sadhavah - following scriptural injunctions.
Single-handedly he went to the west and spread the Krishna consciousness movement and chanting of
the maha-mantra: Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare/ Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama
Rama Hare Hare, recommended by all Vedic literatures as the yuga-dharma (spiritual process of Kali
Yuga).
He translated and wrote purports to the most important transcendental literatures and ensured its wide
distribution throughout the world. He has left for us recordings of thousands of hours of transcendental
matters and bhajans of the great Vaisnava Achayras. He has stated that all the mechanical, electronic and
other technologies though developed by asuras are actually meant for propagation of Lords purpose. So
now it is up to us to take full advantage of his teachings and technology for our goal of going back to
Godhead.
On this day of his appearance, I offer my respectful obeisance to you.
Yours servant

My dear guruji,
By reading your books I have got understanding about Krishna and how to serve him. Your clear cut and
straightforward way of explaining things are liked even by big philosophers and thinkers round the
world. You have saved this fallen child of yours through your teachings, there has been ups and downs
in my life but by your mercy I always find time to associate with devotees, I always find you close to me
when I read your extracts in aashram because suprisingly they say the same thing what is happening in
my life. Please keep giving me the oppurtunity to serve you with best of my capacities and also please
keep guiding me because apart from you I have nowhere to go.
Yours servant,

No amounts of words would be enough to pay my homage and obeisances to you. Someone whom I
have never seen or met would become a guiding force and change the whole axis of my life , was totally
unimaginable and unthought-of.
In the turmoil of this material existence , I totally lost my direction. A point came when my ship was
sinking in the turbulent waters of the miseries I had to face despite my best efforts to avoid them. I cried
out to the Lord to please save me as I was no more able to find a way out. And then, 'He' sent 'you' to
save me, to hold my hand and show me the real aim of life & most foremost to show me the path to
reach 'Krishna. And as soon as I took shelter in the holy name of 'Krishna' ,everything seemed to calm
down. Now I see the Lord's presence in my life . Life , which seemed like a jigsaw puzzle till sometime
back, has suddenly taken the shape of a beautiful flower blossoming in the hue of 'Krishna'.
And the person to whom I owe this transformation is Srila Prabhupada . I am fortunate that by Lord's
mercy I have found my spiritual master in you. You are my guide and mentor who I can reach
through your books and your speech. Whenever I have a confusion or doubt, I just go through the
instructions given by you and my mind becomes clear. I would remain in debt to you whole my life and
beyond because what I have received from you cannot be paid back in any terms. I dont even have
words to show my gratitude towards you.......Only one thing I want to ask you , though I dont consider
myself capable enough for this, i.e. "How can I serve you? "

App ko bahut bahut pranaam.
Aap ka mery life mein bahut bada yog daan hua hai. Hamare parivaar mein bhi app ka bahut bada
yogdaan hua hai.
Jab hamein maloom hua ki sirf HARE KRISHNA sankirtan se aur chanting se hi hamare sab dukh dard
door ho sakte hain to hum sab ne hari naam sankirtan karna shuru kar diya.
Aapke books se hamne sikha ki manushya aur jaanwar mein kya pharak hai. Aapke aashirwad se maine
Hare Krishna Hare Kirshna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare, Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare
chanting shuru ki aur dhere dhere ab main roz 16 round chanting par pahunch gaya hoon.
Aapne mujhe sikhaya ki main kaun hoon, bhagwan kaun hain, mera bhagwan se kya rishta hai, main is
sansar mein kyon aaya hoon aur mera kya kartvya hai. Aap ko shat shat pranam mere spiritual master.
Agar aap ki kripa na hoti to shayad mujhe mere jeevan ka matlab him nahin pata chalta aur main baaki
logo ki tarah hi jeevan bita deta.
Ab mera dhyan bhi dharmik books padne ko karta hai aur bhagvad gita ka bhi addhyayan karta hoon.
Vaise to pehle bhi bhagvad gita padi thi par ab padne se pata lagta hai ki Krishna ji Arjun ko jo updesh
diye, woh hamare liye hi diya tha. Gita padne se pata chala ki aatma kabhi nahin marti bulki shareer
marta hai. Agar is janam aur mrityu ko chod kar bhagwan ke paas wapas jaana hai to hare krishna
mantra karo aur kirtan kiro. Srila Prabhupad ki JaiHari Bol.

All Glories to his Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada,
I am such an ignorant fool that I myself do not know how to express my love and gratitude for you.
Sometimes it has happened that my hairs stand in emotional ecstasy where my eyes cannot stop tears
rolling down my cheeks in gratitude to your divine grace and mercy you have bestowed upon me.
VyasaPuja2011

Though I have always been away and not in constant touch with devotees and temple; but your mercy
and Lord Krishnas arrangement always has reached me whenever I am in trouble. I have seriously
realized your strength and your glories as my spiritual master and it is because of your grace that I have
been able to receive love of Krishna.
I have realized the power of your instructions in my life which; when I follow them, they become the
source of my wisdom and strength. It is due to your sanctioning that I am able to pass on your
instructions like a parrot to others without taking any credit in my life. Everything good karma I have
received in my life is all because of you.
Every morning, I always ask this question within my heart to your picture that how can I serve you and
slowly as time progresses; you give me your instructions like cool breeze of wind tell me in my ear. I
sincerely bow my head and pay my humble obeisances unto you and wish to serve as a menial servant in
your divine mission.
Hare Krishna
In your divine service
All Glories to Srila Prahbupada

Oh! Swami prabhupad please accept my greetings.
On this very auspicious day
I want your mercy to get connected with lord. You have given me divine eyes to recognise the supreme
personality of godhead,KRISHNA. Earlier I was engulfed in ignorance, my life was full of confusion and
problems but you are the only one who has shown me correct path, now I feel that you are always with
me and instructing me at each step of life to consume my each second in devotional service, all this is
possible through your mercy in the form of holy books provided by you.whatever you have done I am
unable to express in words..I can only say that without Krishna consciousness happiness is
impossible & without your mercy reaching Krishna is impossible. All glories to you for providing me the
treasure of happiness through the most powerful mantra-

Respected Srila Prabhupada, App ko bahut bahut pranaam.
Prabhupad ji, appka mere jeevan mein bahut mehetav hai. Pehle bhi main bhagwan ki pooja karti thi
lekin itna kuch nahin pata tha. Appaki books padne shuru kari to hari naam sankirtan ka khub anand
aya. Main ne chanting bhi shuru kar di aur ab to main dhere dhere 16 rounds roz karti hoon. Yeh sab
appak hi to ashirwad hai prabhupad. Pehle to lagta tha ki 16 rounds kaise karungi, yeho to bahut
mushkil hai par ab aap ki kripa se mera samay aapki aur bhagwan ki sewa mein nikalta hai.
Aap hi ne mujhe sikhaya ki bhagwan kaun hain, main kaun hoon, mere jeevan ka kya maksad hai. App
hi ne bataya ki hamara kya kartvya hai, bhagwan ne hamein manushya roop kyon diya aur hamein kya
karna hai.
Hamare ghar me har hafte Krishna kirtan bhi shuru ho gaya hai. Kirtan mein bahut anand aata hai.
Mandir ke devotees bhi aate hain aur hamein bhaut sari bhagwan ki stories sunate hai.
Aapke ashirwad se, main ab roz subhah arti bhi karti hoon.
Meri aap se vinti hai ki mujhe hamesha apne charan kamalon mein hi rakhein aur mujhe shakti dein ki
aapke bataye hue raaste par hamesha chaloon.

I offer my infinite obeisances at the lotus feet of divine master Srila A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami
Prabhupada, who is most merciful Savior.
He translated and wrote purports to the most important transcendental literatures and saw their wide
distribution. He spoke and had recorded thousands of hours of transcendental satsanga. He sang and
played harmonium, mrdanga and karatals in accompaniment to the songs of the great Vaisnava acaryas --
full of essential meaning and bhava of all the revealed scripture which brought great joy and happiness.
It is because of his mercy we finally have found a peaceful way to lead our life and engage ourselves in
the devotional services of the lord.
In every aspect, such a devotee as His Divine Grace is percent a fulfillment of the will of the Supreme
Lord.

Bhaktin Isha kaushik
In the name of His divine grace A.C Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada,
Although it is an immensely challenging task to condense all your divine and merciful attempts and
success in the path of spirituality,I would like to put my caliber to best use.
GURU- A perfect synonym to Srila Prabhupada
A guru is the one who selflessly continues to supply knowledge and guidance to his disciple no matter
what.
Srila Prabhupada- a pure devotee, a pure soul, a friend, a guide, a genius, a pathfinder, an optimist, a
leader, a savior ; is the greatest gift that god could provide for the fallen souls like us engrossed in the
material world.
I offer my humble obeisances in the dust of the lotus feet,the ones which travelled and blessed the
various parts of the world in the movement that changed lives of many.
"Hare krishna movement"; suddenly everything got merrier...there was never ending joy in the
sankirtan;the tongue couldn't have worked better, the prasadam offered tasted out of the world;so the
stomach couldn't be happier, the hands were engaged in the devotional service of lord and the feet were
dancing on the tunes of mahamantra:they couldn't have proven their worth better, the eyes were
mesmerized by the enchanting beauty of the deities and last but not the least the Soul was finally
nurtured for the first time.
Prabhupada has freely bestowed his selfless and causeless mercy upon us, trying to lead us to the journey
back to godhead, back to where we belong.
Any amount of gratitude expressed for the same is like the contribution of a drop of water to the ocean.
Still I submit my deepest obligement for his great contribution that helped us in actual achievement of
peace and devotion.
Isha Kaushik

Respected Srila Prabhupad,
Please accept my prayers, oh my father, my teacher, my guru. I thank you for loving me and teaching me
the meaning of Krishna.
It is because of you this entire world has become purified. Your presence just glorifies the whole world.
VyasaPuja2011

It is because of your blessings that I started chanting and now slowly I have reached 2 rounds every day
and on Saturdays & Sundays I do 4 rounds per day.
I also joined Krishna camp in summer holidays and truly enjoyed the experience with my friends. We
dance in the kirtan, we do chanting. When everyone felt happy, we all used to say Hari Bol. We also
learnt who am I, who is God.
By your blessings Prabhupad, I was blessed to go to Mayapur last month and had wonderful darshan of
Radha Madhav, Lord Chaitanya, Lord Narsimha. I also went to Radha Krishnachandra temple in
bangalore last year and loved the night arti when God goes for sleep. It was amazing & wonderful
By your mercy, I also learnt Narsimha arati and sing sometimes in the evening. We also do Krishna
kirtan every week at my house. I invite all my friends to join the kirtan and we all enjoy the kirtan. Some
of my friends have also started chanting and we all say hari bol. I also like little Krishna and buy Krishna
coloring books. I listen to Krishna Pop and enjoy Govinda Jai Jai, Gopala jai jai
I always pray to you to shower your blessings and have mercy on me to educate me so that I can carry
your message to the people in this world.Srila Prabhupad ki JaiHari Bol.

It is because of your tireless efforts that many thousands and millions of people around the globe have
come to know about Krishna and practicing seriously spiritual life. You have given us Krishna in the
form of many books, many festivals, the holy names and pure devotees. Without this guidance we would
not know you in full glory.
Oh! My master, The evangelic angel.
Give us thy light, Light up thy candle.
Struggle for existence of Human race,
The only hope, His Divine Grace.
Absolute is sentient, Thou hast proved.
Impersonal calamity, Thou has moved.
This gives us a life, A new and fresh.
Worship thy feet, Your Divine Grace.
Had you not come, Who had told.
The message of Krishna, Forceful and bold,
That's your right, You have the mace.
Save me a fallen, Your Divine Grace.
The line of service, As drawn by you.
Is pleasing and healthy, Like morning dew.
The oldest of all, But in new dress
Miracle done, Your Divine Grace.

FOR MY BELOVED GURU......SRILA PRABHUPADA
I come to You thirsty for Your Mercy and Grace,
Just a man stripped of his armor and all of his pride,
But I always knew I stood as a child in Your eyes.
VyasaPuja2011

I took You for granted and sought to do this on my own,
But Lord I now see I can't do this on alone.
The more my directions led me further away from Your light,
The more I felt empty from this raging sea that's inside..
It's you My guru who lead me to shelter and peace to make the seas calm,
My punishments well deserved, but I know that it had to be done.
Humility before Honor brings me back to that place,
The beginning of Hope to see Your perfect face.
Dear Guru .....Please give me my wings for just a moment of flight,
I am no longer the weak one.... whose spirit cowards from fight.
Lead my footsteps to Wisdom, but let my heart become free,
Forever Your disciple and like Him I will be.....

My eternal guide, my loving father, who changed my life and many of the fallen souls like me.
I offer my respectful obesiances unto your lotus feet.
I pray to you, my spiritual master, to bless me and guide me to always move ahead in my spiritual life
and spread your message to the people who are surrounded by maya and materialistic things.
Prabhupad, you are my father, my mentor, my spiritual guide, my loving teacher and my master. I will
always look upon you as my role model to serve your mission of Krishna consciousness to this
materialistic world.
It was your blessings that I got introduced to the wonderful transcendental sound of Hare Krishna
mahamantra and realized that in this age of kali yuga, how this mahamantra alone can take us back to
Godhead.
The books written by you are like a ray of light in a dark tunnel, sending a strong message that if we
follow the four regulative principles, it is so simple to come out of this material world. Otherwise, we
always thought these are the 4 most important & necessary means of enjoyment. What a fool I was. But
now, I feel that I am one of the few blessed by God who has showered his blessings upon me & my
family.
Srila Prabhupad ki Jai. Radha Vrindavan Chandra ki jai.
Prabhupad, it is you who taught us how to love Krishna, how to serve him, what is prasadam, what is
real dancing, what is Lord worship, what Krishna consciousness can do to our lives. Your books are like
a torch in our hand which will deliver conditioned souls like me.
I offer all my respectful obesiance to you my prabhupad on your appearance day and pray that you
should always guide me and show mercy on me who is no one in this big world. I pray to him to hold
my hand and give place in his lotus feet, under whose shelter I can be secured and make progress to
come out of this mrtityulok I request you to continue to guide me & correct me when I am wrong and
protect me from the deadly clutches of maya.
Please forgive my offenses and give me the intelligence to carry out your orders under the protection of
your divine movement in the association of your sincere devotees.

Prabhupad Ji,
Firstly, I offer my respectful and humble obesiances unto the lotus feet of my spiritual master his divine
grace A.C Bhativedanta swami Srila Prabhupada. Youre the only expert spiritual Master of the
Universe, who can produce fruits of Bhakti from the barren life of a living entity. We all are born in the
darkest ignorance and only you Prabhupad can open our eyes with the torch of your knowledge. You are
very merciful and you are the ocean of mercy. I have number of impurities in me but you still bestowed
your causeless mercy onto me. My wish is to become your ideal Disciple and follow your instructions
completely and spread your glories to whole world. My wish is that I could serve your mission to the
maximum being Prime Minister of India and If there is anything wrong in this then please give me
guidance. And I request you to please give me your mercy because I am unable to chant properly due to
uncontrolled mind.
Today, I am really proud to have the Saviour of the universe as my Guru and I really pray to him to keep
me in his wings of mercy and lotus feet.
And at last..
Many Many happy returns of the day.

Bhakta Niranjan Upadhyaya
I offer my respectful obeisance to All the Vaishnava devotees of Lord who can fulfill the desires of everyone
and they are full of compassion for the fallen conditioned souls.
Whenever while entering a Temple or Dham of the Supreme Lord it is ritual to offer respects to the Vaishnavas
first, so I am starting my offerings on the great occasion of Vyasa Puja by offering my respectful obeisances to
all Vaishnavas.
In material existence we have material desires, desire to enjoy life without Krishna. Your Divine Grace has
taught us how to purify our desires in the service of Supreme Lord Krishna. You have not just taught the
different processes, you are practically guiding us by your Vani to reach the Supreme Abode.
"A nitya-siddha is one who was never contaminated by the material nature...Nitya-siddhas never came
into contact with the material nature. All the associates of Lord Chaitanya are nitya-siddhas, or eternally
perfect."
(Narottama dasa Thakura's Savarana-sri-gaura-mahima,Purport)
I just read these lines and perfect nitya siddha is none other than Your Grace Srila Prabhupada. If we
consider Your Divine Grace as one among us its a great mistake as well as offence. And one, who
considers Your Divine Grace in this way, is sure to fall in offensive life in the name of devotional life,
which is happening now in ISKCON.
Vaishnavas are compared with Kalpa taru, and Your Divine Grace is gem among Vaishnava Acharyas, so
we ask one thing, please empower Your True followers to re-establish, to revive the Mission of Lord
Chaitanya Mahaprabhu which is now on the way to ruination.
Personally I dont have any qualification to offer even these lines in the Glorification of Your Divine
Grace. Under shelter of your True followers I beg for Your Spiritual Care and Divine Mercy.
Infinite Thanks again for Vaishnavas mercy which is unconditional.
Aspiring to be a tiny part of Your Mission.

Bhakta Ronak Parmar
Hare Krishna
I offer my respectful obeisance unto my spiritual master, who with the torchlight of knowledge
has opened my eyes, which were blinded by the darkness of ignorance.
Myself Ronak Parmar from Gandhinagar usually I am not a habituated person to write a letter,
but I try to express the feelings to you which lie in my heart.
I would like to say sorry to you prabhupada in advance, if I have commited any mistakes in my
writing, as I am not from a literate background.
Yes Hare Krishna, Jay Shree Krishna Prabhupadji. I dont know from where I have to start but
today I am very glad to write this homage. Actually I am from an Engineering background. Yes I
have knowledge about different kinds of technology but the Hare Krishna Movement is
another technology. In this modern world we can see the no. of colleges which are giving the
knowledge of Medical, Accounts, Engineering etc. but we are not having a college which is
distributing the knowledge in the science of the soul.
I remember the day that was 6
th
Feb, 2011, I got a call from Akshaya Patra Foundation of HKM,
and I attended the very first session. I felt it was boring but again after a week I went there for
attending another session. The devotee speaker enlightened us as to, Who we are? What is the
aim of our life? and as time went by I was regularly attending all sessions.
At initial stage I refused to chanting but after that I read some of your books. I felt that I have to
chant at least 2 rounds, but nowadays I am chanting minimum 8 rounds. This is all possible only
because of you and now I want to say that I am a Krishna Conscious person and as per your
instruction I strictly follow all regulative principles.
I come from a religious family but never went to pray to god except during my examinations, but
now truly saying that I felt that somehow I am connected with Krishna, this is again because of
you. Now I have reached towards the transcendental knowledge and now I am having
spirituality in my nature. I used to attend Mangala Arti early morning and I pray also to you at
that time really I fell wonderful feeling.
I really stick to the Hare Krishna Mahamantra. I chant this mantra whenever I am free.
I read your books, I have been informed about true goal of life.I once again express my gratitude
to you. As I read your book Before eating we have to offer food to Lord, and after take it will
called prasadam that will purify me.
It is not good to become Doctor, Engineer, CA, etc. if we dont have any knowledge of good and
bad.
Prabhupada I cant express my feelings by writing just this letter but I really felt change in my
whole life, also my family members are surprised to see my attitude and life style and have begun
associating with devotees.
Truly saying Prabhupada, you are the only person who opened my eyes. What a wonderful
experience to be a Krishna Consciousness person!
VyasaPuja2011

Visiting a temple is not much refreshing as just chanting Hare Krishna once we feel sofresh. So
this is the power of Hare Krishna Mahamantra.
You started Akshaya Patra Foundation where devotees work really hard to feed children and in
our state 1,30,000 children get prasadam.
So prabhupada, it is really good work to feed children. Feeding a hungry child is not a charity
but it is our social responsibility.
At last I expressed to you my deepest thanks to your lotus feet.
Thank You

To This Day and to the future of my life I will be surrendered only to you the Descendent of Goloka,
Guruji it was your instructions that made me what I am today.
I beg you to shower your blessing to whole World and each soul of this world take up the process of
chanting Lords Holy Name

I beg you to Guide me in the Path of Krishna Conciseness with minimizing my Ego.I am thankful for

Nama Om visnu-padaya Krishna presthaya bhu-tale Srimate bhaktivdanta-svamin iti namine.
Namas te sarasvate deve gaura vani prcarine Nirvisesa-sunyavadi pascatya-desa-tarine
Please accept humble obeisance from this most fallen and unqualified servant.
I am very thankful to LORD KRISHNA that I have got the privilege to offer a glorification to the divine
grace of Srila Prabhupada.
There is a vast difference between my present lifestyle and the lifestyle I used to lead before coming in
touch with your divine grace. The way we used to cook, eat, dress, and act was really abominable. Hence
I was born in the darkest ignorance and it was Srila Prabhupada who has opened my eyes with the torch
of knowledge. Krishna has sent you to this material world to deliver the fallen souls by engaging them
in Krishnas services.
I offer respect to pure empowered devotee of lord Krishna without whom I would never thought that
there exist a purpose also to life and there is life after death of this body. I would have spoiled myself
with abominable food and abominable lifestyle. I would never understand that - LORD KRISHNA is the
supreme godhead and supreme object of worship. The soul is eternally related to him through
transcendental devotional service (bhakti)
Its my prayer; please continue to guide us always so that we do what please us. Also give me blessing
that I may be able to please you. Your satisfaction is the real success in my life. Thank you for guiding
this insignificant servant.

Youre most fallen and unqualified Servant,
Chandan Deka, Guwahati, Assam
Bhakta Chayan Bansal
My respectful obeisance to Prabhupada
I got many proper ideas and got to know about Krishna by reading the Bhagavad Gita, the other books
including Bhagavad Gita that you have written. By reading it I got to know about this material body and
by chanting the maha mantra Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare Hare Rama Hare
Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare. I got relief from talking bad words doing and telling bad things. After I
started chanting I got control over my anger and I got grades in my studies and by chanting Krishnas
name and reading Krishnas books I had started telling about Krishna to my cousins, friends etc.
At first I was just an ordinary boy of this material world who only knew to eat and enjoy. Before I started
chanting I just didnt know who was Krishna and why should we chant his names. At first I used to only
laugh when I listen to devotees telling about Krishna and if I went to any Krishna temple then I only
laugh when they five any speech or discuss about Krishna. When I was 12 years old my father forced me
to go with him to ISKCON but I didnt want, but my father told me that you just come with me. Then
my father took me to a house made of bricks, then I asked my father that where are we going, then he
didnt tell anything and he took me to that house. Then some Krishna devotees came down and started
talking about a man known as Prabhupada and telling about the man, they told about Krishna then I
came to know about some new things and from that day on I was eager myself to come to the house
VyasaPuja2011

(ashram) and now I am 13 years old and I am chanting and reading Krishna books very nicely and
enjoying it.
Thank you Srila Prabhupada for giving Mahamantra to chant and thank you for writing Krishnas books.
Thank you to give intelligence about Krishna.
Thank you.
Your little servant,
Chayan Bansal, Guwahati.

Respected Shrila Prabhupada,
All glories to you! You have entered my life and brought me the delight and contentment in my life. In
fact, there is no happiness in this world, this is full of sufferings. Unless one resorts to spiritual platform
and get connected thru a bonafide spiritual master, he will never get happiness at all! But I for one, who
experienced bliss just following your instructions.
As prescribed by you, I am chanting earmarked rounds of holy name of Lord, following the regulative
principles and observing all Ekadashis nirjal only. In your statement which I have come across, those
who are adhering to your instructions, you are taking the responsibility of upliftment. I am a most fallen
soul, and there is no difficulty in following your commands, guidelines which will ultimately take to the
summit of blissful spot.
You have a led an immaculate life and made he crestfallen souls including westerners. Of late, I could go
thru the reality which was hitherto, covered. Bangalore ISKCON authorities have unfolded the horrible
things with evidential documents. I am moved to tears, some of the devotees, indulged to betray you.
Some have, despite reading, serving immensely, fallen down from their positions. They are shameless
and their ungrateful attitude towards the innocents, who are falling prey till today, cannot be forgiven by
Krishna. You showered plethora of mercy on them, but the representatives you did nominate in your
letter, occupied your position, and receive elaborate Pooja, and started giving Deeksha to the innocent
devotees. Though they have fallen from their position, audaciously, they are continued to be Acharyas. I
fully believe, Krishna will never forgive such imposters.
The clutches of Maya are strong; please bless me not to be victimized under any circumstances. Please
bless me to continue my daily sadahana which I have been practicing since long.
With humble obeisances,
Yours most unworthy servant,
Akrur Krishna Dasa,
Muralidhara Dasa
Dear Srila Prabhupada, Hare Krishna !!
Please accept my most humble dandavat pranams at the dust of your divine lotus feet. All Glories to
Your Divine Grace Srila Prabhupada. On this most auspicious occasion of your 115th Vyas pooja
Mahamahotsav, I beg to make this offering for your pleasure and for the pleasure of all vaishnavas.
You once said that you "never drove a car" but you can drive away our ignorance, which no one else
can.
Om ajnana timirandhasya jnananjana salakaya caksur unmilitan yena tasmai sri gurave namaha.
Please Srila Prabhupada, drive away the ignorance which has engulfed me since time immemorial and
bless me to become a TRULY humble servant of all your servants. I see that everyone gets what he
deserves, but in my case Srila Prabhupada, I get what I don't deserve at all, and this is simply by your
causeless mercy. My desire is to dedicate myself body, mind and words completely to your services in
ISKCON and perfect my life in Krishna consciousness. Please therefore continue to help,guide,and
shower your Blessings and compassion on this most fallen soul ever. I long for that day when my heart
will be freed from lust, greed, anger. madness, illusion,envy, chant the holy names offenselessly and
VyasaPuja2011

make my heart SOFT, - SOFT like butter for MAKHANA CHOR KRISHNA to steal it. Srila Prabhupada
please tolerate my useless, worthless self and excuse me for offenses committed and allow me to stay
under the shelter of the shade of your cool Lotus feet and carry on with my insignificant services
FOREVER.
CRISIS IN ISKCON TODAY: In the history of ISKCON from 1966 to 2011, the last 45 years there have
been many many crisis, but today Srila Prabhupada it is facing the worst crisis EVER. It is a battle
between those who wish to obey and execute YOUR FINAL ORDER and the rest of ISKCON. My humble
and most sincere prayers to you Srila Prabhupada is to kindly BLESS Sri Madhupandit Prabhu with all
the courage, intelligence, strength and SUCCESS. You are undoubtedly the SENAPATHI of Lord
Chaitanya Mahaprabhu who spread Krishna consciousness all over the world. Madhupandit Prabhu is
your SENAPATHI and the service he is doing is very difficult for anyone else to perform and understand.
Please bless me to stay where there is TRUTH and where you are there, SRILA PRABHUPADA.
PEACE FORMULA : Lord Krishna says in the Bagavad Gita
bhoktaram yajna tapasam sarva loka mahesvaram
suhrdam sarva bhutanam jnatva mam santim rcchati ... BG 5.29.
Similarly if all in ISKCON accept THREE things, there will be peace and progress.
1. Srila Prabhupada is not only the Founder Acharya of ISKCON but he is the ONLY ACHARYA IN
ISKCON.
2. His books and teachings should be the LIFE AND SOUL of ISKCON.
3. Srila Prabhupada is THE DELIVERER of all souls Back to Godhead in ISKCON.
Doya Karo Sri Acharya Srila Prabhupada,
Tomhara sangha mage Muralidhara dasa.

Dearest Srila Prabhupad,
Please accept my most humble obeisances at the dust of your divine lotus feet. I was asked to write and
send an offering to Bangalore Iskcon. My mind was wavering and was delaying for no reason, till I came
to Bangalore Iskcon for Balaram Purnima. The temple hall was overcrowded, but by the mercy of a
senior devotee, I managed to get a proper seat right in front of Radha Krishna Chandra (devotees are
more merciful than the lord!)
I saw utsah, dhairya and nischaya All three things combined in the devotees of Bangalore Iskcon
temple. I was extremely emotional, which resulted in a flow of tears in my eyes that I couldnt control,
only to realize that few days back, there was a big commotion caused by the media in Iskcon and various
channels on television and disturbances in both the internal and external society which humiliated many
devotees in Bangalore. Inspite of all this, nothing affected the sadhna, dedication and services to deities
and the guru, showering mercy to the jeevas by distributing harinam and prasadham. Yes, there you can
see what surrendering to guru and Krishna, means!
There was a sea of people flowing on one side, heart-melting kirtan on another, Krishna-Balaram
abhishek and jhulan yatra on the other side, sayanotsava on another, prasadham distribution on one
more side and a senior devotee running to preach to the audience of America via video-call, all these
things happening ON time, Astounding! No doubt prabhupad is here and here only, showering
unlimited mercy and protecting them, to execute devotional service to the highest satisfaction of the
guru.
VyasaPuja2011

One day I see that, the whole world is going to follow Bangalore Iskcon and save this hare Krishna
movement which Prabhupad established, taking so much trouble to save the fallen souls! Way back in
1992, I have seen this temple becoming a vaikuntha in Kaliyuga. All glories to the devotees of
Bangalore! No doubt, all of them are very dear to Srila Prabhupad!
My only humble request would be to grant mercy and give as much strength, dedication, determination
to all the people connected with them. Jai Srila Prabhupad.
Your Most humble servant of the servant,

Oh my lord, please accept my humble obeisance unto you.
Oh lord, I dont know what to tell you in this auspicious moment, but I am always thankful to you .
Oh my lord, I was mad after so many material things, but your books made me to understand that we
should become mad, but after krishna. I was a fool, and was a speculator but your books made me to
understand that my speculations are no more helpful your authoritative words always hit this rascal
mind like a thunder .
Oh lord, the spirit of your preaching always bewilders this mind. Whenever I feel disgusted , I just
remember your divine pastimes , you went alone to the west, and fed those people with nectar of
knowledge., just your words made them Krishna conscious.even though you had thousands of
disciples you never became proud, but you were after writing books, Day and Night. In the age of
seventy you did all these things.!!! Just a thought about it encourage me a lot to serve you.
Oh lord, serving you is by following your instruction, but I m not doing it faithfully. Oh lord you have
given us everything, but I am not at all faithful to you. Oh lord, I always feel that I am cheating you
Oh lord, oh spiritual master, Please take me out ignorance, and give me strength to serve you and
Krishna.
Thank you, a fallen soul

It is you, who distributed the real knowledge i.e the knowledge of absolute truth(Krishna)
It is you, who always served the supreme cause i.e the one who is the cause of all causes
It is you, who showed the real path of devotion. i.e the path to go back home back to Godhead
It is you, who gave the nectar of devotion. i.e the nectar which can be enjoyed by anyone &
everyone.
It is you, who distributed the real love of godhead. i.e Krishna prema.
These few words of mine are not all enough to glorify you, Srila Prabhupad. By your grace, I am trying to
become a devotee of that supreme lord, whom you never forget to remember.
Trying to become servant of your servant

Hi I am FOLK, my name is Manjunathgouda.M.Patil
Its hardly possible for me to say in words about the infinite benefits i got from my dearest friend
Krishna, only because of the mercy of Gauranga Nitai & Shri Bhaktivedanta Srila Prabhupada Guru. I
try to express them in my tiny sentences....
1.My life-style has been completely changed in a positive sense.
2.ISKCON added a reinforcement to my decision of not eating non-vegetarian food, which was on
floating stage before becoming a FOLK.
3. Chanting Hare Krishna maha-mantra is giving an immense pleasure andinner happiness which cannot
be expressed in words but, only felt.
4.I learnt many things like, time sense, discipline, facing the challenges in material world and many
more. Its not possible for all the derive such intangible benefits, unless ones past karmas are good and
mercy of krishna is there.
The benefits which i got and even getting from the association with the Prabhu's and FOLK people at the
ISKCON are intangible. At last what i want to request is '"to become Friends of Lord Krishna, by
becoming friends of friends of Lord Krishna"
Jai Sri Krishna, Manjunath G

Dear Srila Prabhupad, Kindly accept my respectful obeisance at your lotus feet.

All glories to Srila Prabhupad.
rla Narottama dsa hkura, a great crya of the Gauya Vaiava-sampradya, advises us not to
travel to different places of pilgrimage. Undoubtedly it is troublesome to go from one place to another,
but one who is intelligent can take shelter of the lotus feet of Govinda and thereby be automatically
sanctified as the result of his pilgrimage. Anyone who is fixed in the service of the lotus feet of Govinda
is called trtha-pda; he does not need to travel on various pilgrimages, for he can enjoy all the benefits
of such travel simply by engaging in the service of the lotus feet of the Lord. Such a pure devotee, who
has implicit faith in the lotus feet of the Lord, can create sacred places in any part of the world where he
decides to remain. Trth-kurvanti trthni (SB 1.13.10). The places are sanctified due to the presence of
pure devotees; any place automatically becomes a place of pilgrimage if either the Lord or His pure
devotee remains or resides there. In other words, such a pure devotee, who is engaged one hundred
percent in the service of the Lord, can remain anywhere in the universe, and that part of the universe
immediately becomes a sacred place where he can peacefully render service to the Lord as the Lord
desires. --- Purport SB 4.6.25

"O devotee of the Lord, to see you is the perfection of the eyes, to touch your body is the perfection of
bodily activities, and to glorify your qualities is the perfection of the tongue, for it is very rare to find a
pure devotee like you." ---- Teachings of Lord Caitanya.
Prabhupad you are a pure devotee of the Lord and it is confirmed and accepted by the scriptures and by
all saintly people. Please forgive me for my disobedience at you and my inability to follow your
instructions. But as you know you are my only hope and one to save me from this great material
allurement and please save me from this material world.
Out of your causeless mercy and by your unconditional devotion to the lord, you came to this material
world to reclaim these fallen conditional souls like me. Out of your great kindness on the living entities
you established this Krishna Consciousness Society. Please give the strength and Intelligence to all your
sincere followers to bring all the glory and victory to this Hare Krishna Movement and please save us
from the hurdles created by the Maya influenced Bogus Gurus and the Demons.
My Lord so long I live in this material world, please engage me completely in Krishnas service even by
force. And please give me the remembrance of Your Lotus feet and of the all merciful lord at all the time
and at that time.
Please forgive me from my misdoings. Your fallen servant,
Satyamadhava Das.

Vraja Vihari Dasa
Dear Prabhupada,
Prabhupad Im very grateful to you that you forgiven my mistakes and allowed me to be in middle of the
devotees. I understood that the association of devotees is the most important thing in learning Krishna
Consciousness. Unfortunately, because of my false ego I moved out of the movement, I could not
understand these are all Maya tricks which play in the life of devotional service. I became a puppet in the
hand of maya and I could not pass her test. When I moved out I understood that to be in associate with
outside world and companions we entangle more & more into this material world which will lead only
to the hellish life. Similarly, by constant association of pure devotees and his followers we can become
purified by our karma & activities, this is the only way we can get rid from this world and to be engaging
in service of the Lord. Im very very grateful to you Prabhupad I have fallen from your boat which is
going towards back to Godhead, but by your causeless mercy again you are helping this fallen soul to be
with the association of devotees and engaging me in your service. Thank you Prabhupad
Prabhupada I beg you for your forgiveness and blessings on this fallen soul.

Dear srila prabhupadji,
Please accept my humble obeisances on to your lotus feet.
When I was in darkest mode of this material life, I had some question always going in my mind. The
questions are why I am struggling here, why I am here and who am I. I tried to read lot of books but
none of the books didnt give me exact answer, until I met your sincere vaishnav devotee, who opened
my eyes. Followed by this I started reading your books, which gave me complete idea of spiritual life. Its
by your mercy that I understand Bhagavadgita teachings. I myself consider very fortunate to get a chance
to enter in to your movement and to serve you. As it was said in scriptures that spiritual master is a
bonafide representative of Krishna, so without your mercy I cannot cross over this material existence of
life. As I am most fallen among fallen souls I need your mercy and blessings. Please give me an
intelligence and knowledge to serve you and Krishna. Thanks for your unconditional mercy shown on
this most fallen soul.
All glories to srila prabhupad.

Dear Srila Prabhupadji,
O Spiritual Master, ocean of mercy, please shower your mercy on me so that I can also come out of this
material world where I am suffering every day. Its by your mercy only a fallen soul like me can cross the
ocean of material entanglement.
O bonafide representative of Krishna, I am fortunate enough to get your association through your books.
I am fortunate enough to get association of humble vaishnava devotees who are constantly guiding me
for spiritual progress. Many thanks for giving me such opportunity. O Saviour of fallen souls, please give
me intelligence to develop taste towards Krishna consciousness, which is considered as the highest taste.
Please give me opportunity to serve you and your devotees.

Before - Attachment with ISKCON
I didnt know peace of life, I didnt know riskless life, and I didnt know what is chanting, I didnt know
who is Srila Prabhupada and good way to live a good life. I tried so many times to do meditation but I
didnt concentrate.
After - Attachment with ISKCON
I came to know about Srila Prabhupada and what is meditation? Srila Prabhupada gave me a good
way to do meditation i.e. chant Maha mantra. I knew the taste of chanting. By chanting I got peaceful
VyasaPuja2011

riskless life and I saw the growth in my life. I got a confidence that anything I can do. Now I have a lot of
concentration in my work. I left all my tensions. I got a good way to lead a good life. So I suggest
everybody chant Maha mantra daily and live a successful life. Then you know chanting Krishna name is
the real taste in the world.
Please chant: Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna, Krishna, Hare, Hare,

Dear Spiritual Master,
Even though there is no word to express my feelings, please accept my heartiest thanks for lightening up
this poor soul with Krishna Consciousness. Im ever thankful to you for making me to chant Hare
Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare ! Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare. It is
your pure blessings, nothing else, that I came to know about the Absolute Truth, how to go back to
Godhead, the real message for life, how to follow Ekadashi, how to do puja, how to offer bogha and have
Krishna Prasadam, how to worship Thulasi Maharani etc., etc., etc. By your mercy, my wife
(Padmavathi) and daughters (Sandhya & Haritha) are also trying to follow the principles of KC. Please
shower your mercy on them to chant more rounds and follow KC vigorously.
Ive completed my 3 levels of Yoga Retreat from Nov. 2004 to June 2005 and attended FOLK 2,4,8 & 12
from Dec. 2005 to Oct.2007 and unfortunately I was moved away from Bangalore for my career and
could not complete my FOLK 16. But till today Im not able to follow FOUR regulative principles in a
vigorous way. Please shower your blessings
i) To follow four regulative principles in a vigorous way
ii) To chant regularly and attentively
iii) To control my mind and sex
iv) To worship Thulasi Maharani everyday
v) To follow early morning regular sadhanas and Ekadashi & other fastings
vi) To read your books regularly
After almost nearing 7 years of completion, Im still not able to follow in a rigorous way, what kind of a
poor soul I am. Oh Master! I humbly request you to consider my requisition and give me more strength
and determination to follow all spiritual sadhanas.
You are my only well wisher and I have great confidence on you to shower your countless blessings on
these poor souls.

Dear Srila prabhupada
I am not qualifed to write about you.By Krishna and your mercy, ( Pangu langhayate giri/ mukam karoti
bachalam); I am able to write this homage. Your teachings transformed my life. You taught us how to
love god.
Before joining Hare Krishna Movement I was confused and lost in number of religious school of
thoughts, and searching for a real Guru. Iskcon ends my search, by getting a chance to be at your
(Gurus) lotus feet.
Your books and lectures guided me how to live happily in this material world and serve the Supreme
lord Krishna.You showed the path of renunciation by example.Oh Krishnas representative please keep
me at your lotus feet And give chance to glorify you again and again.

When I was in very confused state, you have again shown me some means to associate with devotees and
keep my Krishna consciousness and service alive. I may not be able to take the mercy as much as you are
giving it to me, but nevertheless, utilizing to some extent in what you are providing to follow basic
instructions on this spiritual path. It is nothing but your 'vani' through your books and lectures is the
main cause to keep me motivated with some small inspiration and learning everyday.
Please give me spiritual strength to progress on this path and also provide means to rectify my offenses.
All glories unto you.

All glories to your divine lotus feet. Please accept my dandavats unto your holy feet. In this horrible age
full of miseries, your feet is the only anchor which will hold me without getting drown further. I started
my quest for devotional service about 13 years back. Due to one of my good friend's persuasion, I visited
ISKCON and experienced bliss, which, I am not able to experience again after that. You were very
merciful that you gave me a taste of the spiritual bliss for that brief time and to further encourage you
even vanquished a couple of material problems I had at that time.
As stated in Bhagavat Gita, I was a person with material problems and I tried to turn to your divine feet
for resolving it. You showered your mercy by vanquishing the material problems and also allowed me to
taste what it would be at your permanent place Sri Goloka Vrindavan. But, my dear father, today I stand
before you, bowing down my head in shame because I have not taken your mercy properly. When you
showed me for a brief time, what it meant to be blissful, shouldn't a human being just grab onto that and
start marching forward? I am very sorry to say that I missed that opportunity and keep missing all these
13 years.
I was grooming my child that other day on proper behavior and she did abide by it for some time and
then in a couple of days she went back to her bad attitude. I felt very pained, that in-spite of spending so
much time, trying to groom her, she went back to the starting point. Now I realize how much pain it is
causing you when I (so called adult) never advance in KC in-spite of your being patient enough to guide,
groom and nurture me? How much pain you should have been experiencing now to see that, your son is
not listening to your advice. I am very sorry to have caused you this pain. I fall down at your feet and
beg forgiveness and cry for your mercy which alone will help me start my first step in KC. I have heard
that acaryas would be very merciful especially on their appearance and disappearance day(s).
On this very holy day, I am humbly requesting you to please shower mercy upon this fallen soul and pull
me to your divine abode. I know I will have to follow the devotional and regulative principles which you
have laid. I request your help even for following those. My sincere desire is that I should not cause any
more pain to you. Thanking you very much Srila Prabhupada.
I remain always your servant

Hare Krishna,
Dear most Srila Prabhupada,
I thank you for giving me this opportunity to glorify you. A simple thank you is not at all sufficient for
the wonderful life you have asked us to live. Krishna Consciousness is such a Glorious and the most
intelligent life to live. Its only because of your meaningful purports, lectures and perfect guidance that at
a young age I am able to lead a very enlightened life. If it is not for you I would have never known what
real happiness is and realize the real aim of life Thank you changing the aim of my life.
At a young age I understand the fact that everything is temporary in this Material world including this
body. I very boldly state that, Im the most fortunate person as I Have got the opportunity to follow your
orders. I think the amount of guidance you have given us is more than sufficient To lead a comfortable
life. I do not think their is any Master as merciful as you Srila Prabhupada I really thank you from the
bottom of heart For giving me the opportunity to chant the Holy names of Lord Krishna.
Thank You Srila Prabhupada, All Glories to you.

Its only because of your mercy, I came in touch with such a great movement. Now its been around a year

In this current material world, every body is seeking for there own comfortless and calling it civilization.
But its only because of your mercy I realize what is real civilized life is.
Its only because of your mercy I am able to grasp at list fraction of Bhagvad-gita teachings. Its only you
who made that ultimate knowledge understandable for mand-budhi person like me. You feed that
knowledge to me just like mother feed such a hot food making cool and soft to her child who even dont
know how to swallow it.
It only you because of which I came to know how fallen I am. And its only you again who gave

By the mercy of the spiritual master, one receives the benediction of Krsna. Without the grace of the
spiritual master, one cannot make any advancement. Therefore, I should always remember and praise
the spiritual master. At least three times a day I should offer my respectful obeisance unto the lotus feet

The above verse has inspired me a lot, and by which I wish every devotee of ISKCON will just follow
you and get mercy.
I beg your mercy upon me for providing me the strength and intelligence to offer my respectful

I beg your mercy, to help me in follow the sadhana as prescribed by you, and follow regulative

Hare Krishna,
I offer my humble obeisances unto the Lotus feet of my spiritual master Srila Prabhupada,
it is the spiritual master who brings the light in the life his disciple which other wise always covered with
darkness of ignorance.
It is very relevant to say that you are guiding us through your sincere followers who have seriously
dedicated their lives in your service, ISKCON today is known to every individual in our country and
throughout the world, it is also famous for the service offered through Akshaya Patra to the mankind. It
is through your mercy, today Akshaya Patra is feeding more than 14lakh children and that always makes
me think and remeber that without your hand this miracle cannot happen. But It is sad to see that
the Iskcon Bangalore temple which has got you, that glory is today facing back to back hits from the
unauthorized people who are trying to replace you as our spiritual master. We are praying to you at your
Lotus feet to make us eligible to be known as your disciple only and let Iskcon Bangalore and associated
temples get its glory back and start expanding as u desired to be.
Our Beloved spiritual master by is mercy distributing the most confidential knowledge to any one and
every one through various means. Although it is avialable very easily to our door step i am being allured
my maya getting mislead at every step of my life trying to lord over the materail nature begging on this
occation of Vyasa puja day for your mercy upon this conditioned soul.

You came as a light in our life when we were all confused, anxious and lost, with all sorts of doubts
about our existence.
In Sept 2008 we came in contact with KC. Since childhood I was searching for answers, but nobody
could clarify it. Queries about our existence. Who controls everything? Who created the Universe?etc.
itall got clarified the day we first went to ISKCON Bangalore. To our surprise all the questions were
answered without even asking it. As if the devotee knew what we are about to ask him. He told us about
the society, who is Srila Prabhupada? Whats his mission? You took so much pain for us to establish this
society. So that people like us who are lost and searching for answers through out there lives could find
the truth about there existence and could engage themselves in serving Krishna.
VyasaPuja2011

Surprisingly, all our doubts are still being cleared through your books. When ever we were in doubt the
very first page we open of SB or BG. The very same verse would be about that same query. It happens
every time.
We are in so many ways indebted to you. You filled the void. When ever we are lost you showed us the
way. You pulled us out of every difficulty. Without your mercy we would never have a chance to become
Krishna Conscious.
Despite all your mercy we did so many blunders and nonsenses. You gave us chance to serve Krishna
but for a moment we got diverted from Krishna and we got trapped by Maya. We did a grave offence and
offended you by not accepting the offer to serve Krishna. We knew as soon as we stopped reading your
books and listening to your lectures our mind got all clouded with nonsense things. As you always say
we became rascals because we listened to other rascals. So we put up all sorts of nonsense questions in
front of the devotees. We failed you by listening to others not you and your teachings. We know since
then how much we have struggled to stay Krishna Conscious. We gave you up but you never gave up on
us. You helped us when we almost gave up chanting. You stood by our side through your devotees and
books who kept us going. Now we know how it feels when you make your guru unhappy by not serving
Krishna. You dont feel the presence of the Lord Jagannath even at your home.
It is the mercy of Srila Prabhupada that we are still Krishna Conscious who is guiding us through his
books at every step.
We feel his presence. He is protecting and guiding us through all the difficulties.

Basically, I was sometimes fiery, short tempered, quarrelsome, rough, quick, and angry. Though I was
basically a good and strong healthy person without any bad habits, I lost very valuable things in my life
because of the above mentioned factors. After losing the valuable things in my life, I realized what I am
and tried to overcome these factors using some methods. But immediately noticed that these methods
are temporary and spiritual way is the best way. So I joined Hare Krishna Movement.
But after joining this Hare Krishna Movement, I came to know that apart from overcoming these factors
I understood the aim of life and as well the purpose of life to understand the Supreme Personality of
Godhead and the Absolute Truth. I was able to focus on my sadhana, chanting 16 rounds daily, doing
the morning sadhana and to serve the devotees to my capacity.
I would like to thank you for setting up such a nice association where fallen persons could cultivate and
develop spiritual activities on a day to day basis.
Thanks for bestowing compassion, mercy and love on this unqualified person and showing me the right
path to go back home, back to God head.
I take this as an opportunity to send this offering for this Vyasa Puja celebration. Kindly accept it and
oblige.
Aspiring to be your servant, Venkatram Vissapragada

Dear Srila Prabhupada, Jai Guru Maharaj, Jai Srila Prabhupada, All glorious to you,
Please accept my humble obeisances onto your lotus feet. Thanks for your unconditional mercy
showered upon this fool.
Before Coming in touch with devotes, I am very passionate towards career (Now I can say passionate
fool). I use to speculate about god. I dont know what to achieve in life even materially. I dont know
what is success? I had lots of such questions. Now, by your mercy, I am able to know what is ultimate
goal of life.
Besides jnana (answers) I was bestowed with loving service and simple process of realizing that jnana.
Hari Bol ! Thanks for this and accepting me (fallen soul) and blessing me with your and Krishnas
service. Nowhere else I can get this opportunity. Thanks for bestowing me the path of realization.
I am a fallen soul, fallen multiple times and ignorant, doing all anardas, instead you gave me a place in
folk hostel, offered Krishna prasadam, gave us clear and understandable Bhagavatam class with nice
example for these dull minds. I can see myself how the obstacles for my sadana have been removed.
Thanks for all. Thanks for accepting me back again even after fall down.
Please bless me with the strength to sustain and advance in Krishna consciousness without fall down
again. Please pardon for all the anardas and bless me to slowly reduce them. Please bless me by cleansing
my heart with Krishna prema by providing more and more service. Please shower your blessings by
changing my desire towards RAHDA KRISHNA.
Hare Krishna, The most fallen soul,
Vijaya Rakesh.

Hare Krishna,
Here is my humble offering to Srila Prabhupada,
Im honored to have had an opportunity to glorify such a divine personality as you on this very
auspicious occasion of your appearance day. Im very fortunate to have gotten the association of you
through your writings and the ISKCON movement. I cant imagine what my life wouldve been without
you. I dont know how to thank Lord Krishna for having provided you in my troubled and trivial life.
You were more than a parent teaching your spoilt children like disciples all the way from how to dress to
how to cook to how to behave to how to love Krishna. You left nothing to vague imagination but
personally took care giving exacting details to not only lead the day to day life but to focus on the real
purpose of life of achieving the final destination of reaching Krishna. You gave your disciples a routine
to follow each day through which the ultimate goal of love of Krishna is achieved.
You were an ocean of mercy in traveling the whole world to deliver people without any bias of caste,
creed, age or sex to preach a simple yet effective way to reach Krishna. You inundated the whole world
with love of Krishna. Shri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu rightly called you the commander in chief of His
movement. You proved to the world that impossible is in fools dictionary by embracing and
transforming atheists, miscreants and flower children, all alike to saintly devotees, which certainly is not
possible to ordinary man even if he has a material position and designation and is appointed solely for
that purpose. You had shrewd answers to all the questions put to you by different classes of people in
different countries, astounding one and all and opening their eyes to the pursuit of love of Shri Krishna.
When the whole world believes in accomplishing the worldly pursuits and reveling in the darkness of
the material enjoyment, you taught about an unimaginable highest goal of life of every human being.
You also set a live example teaching how to achieve it with selfless devotion.
VyasaPuja2011

You told that humility is the jewel to human personality. You taught that not only human beings should
be equally regarded but also the living entities as a whole. You brought change in people inwardly,
making them devoted, selfless patient yet determined and enthusiastic to achieve Shri Krishna with your
mission.
You painstaking took to the mammoth task of translating scriptures like Bhagavad-Gita and Srimad
Bhagavatam to the detail of word by word translation and that too at such an advanced age. You revealed
to the whole world the treasures of India, the Dhams related to Shri Krishna and the life histories of
stalwart devotees of Shri Krishna.
Your teachings are so enlightening and magnificent that they still are continuing to change millions of
people around the world. You certainly were and are not ordinary human.
Thanks a zillion for your causeless mercy to uplift the human kind to be able to reach Shri Krishna.
Homage is paid to the departed but you continue to live on forever and ever and ever in the hearts of
your disciples.
Hare Krishna,
Malathi.

Please accept my Humblest Obeisances at Your Divine LOTUS FEET on this Holy Day of Sri Vyasa Puja.
All Glories to Your Causeless Mercy.
Offering respects to Spiritual Master means to remember some of His Pastimes.
The entire world is purified simply by the apperance of such a Great Devotee.
You are very tolerant, tolerant, and tolerant to the utmost. You are Ocean of Mercy.
Thank You for allowing such an Offensive person as myself to be in Your Movement.
Your Unworthy Servant
Bilvamangala Dasa
Premanjana Dasa
I was born in the darkest ignorance, and my spiritual master opened my eyes with the torch of
knowledge. I offer my respectful obeisance unto him.
Jaya Srila Prabhupada!
Srila Prabhupada,
You are an ocean of mercy and friend of the poor. it has been some time that i got initiated and started
trying to follow your instructions but i am always feeling very dissatisfied that I am not able to serve
your 'transcendental lotus feet' properly .I just keep finding new ways of serving my own senses all the
time. I know that lust is the greatest enemy as mentioned in the third chapter of the Bhagavad Gita as it
is, but my own mind and senses are uncontrolled and are always driving me towards dirty objects. I
know its not possible for me to control them but even if I get a drop of your kind mercy than i shall be
able to cross the ocean of 'nescience and ignorance. You are our beloved spiritual master and only 'ray of
hope' its just by your mercy that we can achieve 'Krishna Prema' one day.
I have been sending your quotes as SMS and I have sent more than 2 lakh quotes so far in about last 2
years; also, I have sent hundreds of emails and messages and I have also been preaching on net working
websites to glorify the holy name and your divine instructions. I have also distributed dozens of your
'transcendental books' everywhere. What I personally feel is that people in India (or of Indian
background) are naturally inclined towards Krishna Consciousness and we just need to awaken their
dormant love for Krishna. By talking to them on phone, motivating and encouraging them I am able to
do that. Also, I have offended you and these young devotees while preaching to them; please forgive me
for that and empower me, so that I can preach more and more. Most of the people who are taking up to
Krishna Consciousness are young and women being 'simple hearted' are able to surrender to Krishna
very easily whereas I have seen that boys are more adamant..I have distributed many copies of your
original books which are being 'loved and cherished ' by people. Worldwide (in English) for their
'quality and purity'. I also have many material desires and I always keep working towards them.
I also feel that enough 'Maya' is everywhere but still your holy name can undoubtedly protect a JIVA at
once from any calamity or danger no matter what. 'Your holy name' is most powerful and has an
extraordinary potency which is beyond understanding. I have also started giving lectures on the
VyasaPuja2011

Bhagavad Gita and spirituality recently and most of the people like them very much. I just want to
preach more and more which can happen only by your 'grace and mercy'.
A lot of devotees just keep criticizing me and say a lot of things which are hard for me to hear; so I just
try to avoid and ignore these comments as much as possible. I need to cry and beg for your mercy which
comes to me in the form of pure devotional service' for Krishna- the supreme personality of godhead. O
master of mercy and friend of the poor. O Srila Prabhupada who is the most beloved disciple of His
Divine Grace Srila Bhaktisiddhatnta Saraswati Thakura Prabhupada and also one who is dear most to
Krishna. I am sending this offering to you from my heart. Please accept me at the dust of your lotus feet.
My dear Acharyapada Srila Prabhupada its just because of you that I have got a new life; you are my only
'ray of hope' and when I will go home, back to godhead, its just because of your mercy that I will go. I
will get Krishna Consciousness in my life just because of loving and serving you--- O my beloved
spiritual master, please accept my offerings.
Jaya Guru! Jaya Gauranga ! Jaya Prabhupada -- Patita Pavana!
Your most unworthy disciple

O my Spiritual Master!
Its impossible to pay back by any wealth or words whatever knowledge you have given me in order to
make my lives best utilization.
In Modern era, as everyone thinks to be successful by wealth & fame, I was also one of them. Then by
causeless mercy of Krishna I got the opportunity to get the real knowledge & happiness through your
teachings
I am feeling poor than the poorer to explain the feelings of my heart about you because it can be feel
only by heart & could not be explained in words
You make me overwhelmed through your mercy.
Its my unlimited times request to you to get you only as my Spiritual master in my every birth so that I
can render my life in service to Lord Krishna
Your worst servant

Hare Krishna,
Prabhupada, is only real spiritual master in this KALYUGA, i really appreciated from their books &
Lectures. These books & Lectures are given a way to freedom from this material world, and also learn
how can we reach at spiritual world and how can we improve our relationship with supreme personality
KRISHNA, the others books & magazine are describe many realitys about life i.e. WHO AM I ?
Many of persons are find answer of this question through YOGAGURU, ASTRONOMY, FAKEGURU, old
books, but they at least fail to find this answer, they are round on round of supreme personality but not
get to central point. The Prabhupada has written everything about KRISHNA in their books.
Krishna Prasadam The all of food, sweets, and many of delicious food are in one side and the
KRISHNA PRASADAM is one side i.e. one piece of prasadam is sufficient to purify of our soul. It is the
only taste of soul.
Deities In Deities are like the face of supreme personality, when we see these deities than we feel like
freedom from our all grievance and think about only on KRISHNA as a friend, Parents, lover, devotees.
When we see deities then our mind & heart are not to be want to diverted from this.
VyasaPuja2011

Association of Devotees Devotees is a way of reach to spiritual world, they are representative of
Prabhupada, they are perform of their duties to go to spiritual world and devotees also follow 4 rules of
devotional services.
I am not doing all of things in my life before join here, I really feel better in KRISHNA CONCIOUSNESS,
I feel that why we come in material world? Why we suffering in this world? What we done in this
world?
I really clear many of confusion, solved many of calamities those are not cleared before join KRISHNA
CONCIOUSNESS.

My dear Srila Prabhupadji,
I offer my respectful obeisance at your lotus feet, please accept it. Before one year I do not know about
you & this Hare Krishna movement. But due to your causeless mercy I came in touch with your
movement. I was living in this material world and was planning to leave here happily, but every time I
failed. But I was trying to attain a good position again and again. When I came in your touch knew
Krishna, spirit and spiritual world, and d cause of eternal happiness.
You show me the easiest way of 16 round chanting, dancing and prasadam to retain the Krishnas love,
(doing my material activities in this world) in this life only. I am also trying to follow your instructions.
I got some benefits like:-
1) More calm relax mind.
2) Less anger than in one year before life.
3) I got more control over lust and greed
4) I got a peaceful environment in hostel and helping friends
5) I got so much knowledge of SrimadBhagavatam and Srimad Bhagavad Gita, that was not in my
thoughts.
6) Very very tasty prasadam than bhoga.
7) Assurance to attain the love of Krishna
8) PEACEFUL ENVIRONMENT FOR STUDY
9) And regular motivation from prabhus for doing work.
But in this one year many time I felt that my commitment becomes week against
maya and she defeats me and in exams I fail to do sadhana & chanting properly. But I know that you are
very strong and pray to u that please keep me always in your and Krishnas protection.
I pray to u that please give your blessings of Krishna conscious movement to all d human
society and make this planet like Goloka Vrindavan. Please always guide me and give me d strength to
spread this movement.

Please accept my humble obeisance at your Lotus Feet. Today on the occasion of your divine appearance
this servant of your Lotus feet wants to share few words as an offering to you.
This is my second offering to your lotus feet. I want to say that last year I made some commitments to
you but I found myself unable to fulfill those commitments & in between this one year so many moment

First I want to thank you, to take me in your shelter. You have taught me how to serve Krishna.
Only because of you I became able to chant Hare Krishna maha mantra. Only because of you I
understood the importance of life and services to Krishna. Before coming in touch with you I was
following so many things but in the mode of [passion and ignorance. You showed me the real goal of
life. Please keep in the shelter of your lotus feet. I am most fallen soul. I can leave you at any time but
please dont leave me alone.
If I leave please bring me back. Thank you.
Yours

All glories to your compassion
My dearest Srila Prabhupada, our beloved Spiritual Master
I offer my humble obeisances to your lotus feet. You have come to your lotus feet. You came as eternal
God in my life. As I was born in the darkest ignorance and i have spoiled 18 years of life by being away
from your movement. But the day i have heard, you are so merciful and kind that you have given me a
shelter in your mission otherwise I have to face all along my life. As you said that the highest realization
is to save yourself. It is a life of miseries and problems in material world. But after coming in the shelter
of your lotus feet, now I feel real happiness in heart. Now I have no more sadness and problem. You are
so merciful that the time when I was in biggest trouble in my life, you have saved me and given your
eternal blessing. Although I was not fortunate to be born in the time when you were giving blessing to
the whole world and I was not able to see you but you will remain forever through your instructions in
our heart. I pray to you that please give me strong positive powers so that I will be stronger to advance in
the service of your lotus feet. I beg your mercy so that one day I will be completely able to be out from
the miseries and sadness of this material world of this material world. Your movement is like strong flow
of light in the midst of darkness. There are some people and my friends who are not fortunate enough to
be shelter of your lotus feet. Be merciful to them and bring them in the shelter of your lotus feet. They
are crying from the suffering of material world, only your shelter and blessing can help them. Again I
pray my obeisances thousand times in your lotus feet.
Jai Prabhupada

Dear Shrila Prabhupad Ji
My biggest achievement after knowing your great movement is that I have come to know that who is
GOD, otherwise it was quite possible that I never come up with the knowledge of KRISHNA, the
SUPREME PERSONALITY OF GODHEAD, and besides this there are so many achievements in this life
that I can't count them.
Thank you very much Prabhupad.
Aspiring to become your servant,

Please accept my most humble obeisances at your lotus feet
It is by your & Krishnas mercy that, I the most fallen insignificant living entity has got the seed of
transcendental loving devotional service to Krishna. Before getting this seed of devotional service, I was
simply a sinful living entity with full of lusty thoughts, dreams, desires, activities etc. After getting seed
of devotional services also i have several times committed so many unwanted sinful activates, disobeying
your orders. But it is completely your causeless mercy that you have kept in your contact even after
VyasaPuja2011

disobeying your orders .but now by your causeless mercy on me, I have come to know and understand
that I can never be happy ,I continue what I was doing before coming to you and also what did by
disobeying your orders.
O my dear Srila Praphupada! O ocean of mercy! You are the deliverer of all the fallen soul and no one is
more fallen than me ,please be merciful to this most fallen soul .I have no qualification to execute your
order .your mercy is the essence of life. Please give the strength to execute your order.

Srila Prabhupada
Please accept my humble obeisance unto your lotus feet. I am in your shelter approximately from 2
years, and trying to follow your instructions. By your grace only I am able to know the ABCD of spiritual
life and get to know the aim of human life. Because of your causeless mercy now I am in folk hostel
kukas. Under the shelter of your lotus feet. I am here from one year
As you know Prabhupad my mind is so crazy and under the grip of maya I have done so many
mistakes in devotional services. Sometime knowingly and unknowingly I disobeyed your order so today
I am praying you to please forgive me and to give me enough intelligence to follow your instructions
nicely.

Because you associate me to Krishna. You informed me of actual aim in, life. Before coming here i was

After coming here my life is good. Now I am getting up at 4am and praying to god in temple. I am
chanting Hare Krishna mantra daily. Due to this mantra my mind is fresh all the time and my
concentration has also increased. My spiritual knowledge has improved. Now I am punctual to all the

consciousness I know the value of life.
After reading your life history I am very inspired. Krishna consciousness some time it may difficult to

By the mercy of Srila Prabhupada I am living in Narayana niwas, I am living with lord Krishna. So now I
am feeling better than before.
Before the coming in touch of Hare Krishna movement clearly I lived in material attachment like not any
rules and regulation, no discipline, there were only gossip and time waste in nonsense activities.
But I had a little faith in god. But now because of your mercy I know the real aim of life and importance
of the service of the lord Krishna.
And when I just came touch in Akshaya Patra anyhow. then immediately I decide to join the folk hostel
and I did it .after it I realized so many changes in myself and when as I know about the real goal of life
then I am trying to achieve it by receive to lord Krishna and chant the holy name of the lord by the
mercy of Srila Prabhupada.

Dear Srila Prabhupada, Please accept my obeisance,

Please forgive me if I make any mistake
Actually I am fresher in Krishna consciousness; its an amazing experience to keep in touch with HARE
KRISHNA MOVEMENT. I am really very thankful to you because you are showing us the right path, as
you are guiding us towards light from the darkness in our life. After joining the Krishna consciousness I
can feel that my life is being change, in our life there are many difficulties but all of them are solved
VyasaPuja2011

easily with mercy of Praphupada. I am so much grateful to Prabhupada because without his mercy I was
not able to know why we are here? What is the meaning of this life? I had so many questions before
and yet many questions arise in my mind but I can get answer of it in just next day its just because of
mercy of Srila Prabhupada. As I am having just drop of water from the whole sea so I dont have words
to say thanks.
I cannot express my love and thanks in words to Srila Prabhupada and lord Krishna, for sending
wonderful souls here as devotees and allowing me to come in contact with them, the devotees are also
very merciful and they are very helpful to us in solving our doubts and I am very thankful to devotees
for giving me shelter of lord Krishnas lotus feet.
Srila Prabhupada, I request you to mercy us for follow your instructions and give us devotion.

Hare Krishna,
31
st
July, 2011, my first book distribution day, actually, the first day when I really understand what is the
reality and how Prabhupada converted the animals (hippies) into a Vaishnava. Although living in India,
a God Conscious country, still it is difficult to spread the people. When I went to the people and told
them about the reality, they just rejected me. They dont want to understand about themselves and I
cant convince a single person. Then I really understand that how Prabhupada taught the hippies. They
dont know about God, even they were the worst; there was no difference between animals and them.
And Srila Prabhupada totally convinced them and converted them. GREAT. I really understand today,
what is the meaning of pure devotee, who is Prabhupada; he is the greatest of the great. Really today, I
understand what is then meaning of Prabhupada. Today is the happiest day of my life and I feel proud
that I have the GURU like Prabhupada.

Respected & Dear Srila Prabhupada,
Please accept my humble obeisance at your Lotus feet.
O My Merciful Spiritual Master, I give a lot of thanks that you have given a chance to serve the supreme
personality of godhead Krishna and how to love god.
It is mercy of lord Krishna that I have got an authorized spiritual master like you.
Prabhupada you are only my Savior. Im fully convinced with your philosophy but still Im not able to
chant 16 rounds daily.
So please give me more intelligence that I can follow Krishna consciousness sincerely till my death and
to preach Krishna consciousness to others.
Lastly please forgive me for the offences committed knowingly and unknowingly by breaking the vows
taken artificially by me to avoid some things and also the offences committed at the Lotus feet of all
vaishnavas.

Bhakta Hardik Goyal
I would like to pay my sincere regards from the core of my heart to you and your teachings. Your
teachings brought an irreversible change in my life.
Earlier, there was a feeling of emptiness and shallowness in doing any work. Every time some doubts use
to ponder over my mind about my lifes origin, my real aim, birth and death etc. I was not living my life
instead I was just passing my life in useless things. I inquired about the lifes aim, origin from different
people, but none of them were able to give satisfactory answers.
After following your instructions and teachings I have almost realized my real aim of life. Now I am very
much clear and confident about materialistic and spiritual works. Your teachings introduced a new spark

and energy in my life which was almost vanished. Now I feel very much peaceful because I know Lord
Krishna is there with me every time. This all happened because of your teachings and hard research
work carried out by you in spite of your old age. There is more lot to say but there are no words left.
Again I salute you from the core of my heart for making me Krishna Consciousness.

Dear Srila Prabhupada;
Thank you very much for everything. Because of your shelter and guidance I could withstand all the
challenging situations in my life and I could come out as more mature and sensible person. In fact I
could see worst situation as the best opportunities to learn the real aspect of life.
Perhaps serving your institution might not be possible hereon, but I will always appreciate the working
here in association with devotees. I pray to keep me blessed with your mercy as always.

Hare Krishna Prabhupad Ji, first of all please accept my regards to your lotus feet. Previously I had not so
much interest in GOD but after coming in touch of you, I got so much knowledge about Lord Krishna
and I see change in me that I become a devotee of God. In addition I have attended SOS program, by
which also I got more knowledge about GOD and I was answered about my queries. I heartily thankful
VyasaPuja2011

of that I got a chance to know about the goal of my life and about Lord Krishna and also about you in
such a small age, which people could not get till the end of their life. Now I chant everyday Hare Krishna
mantra and after chanting I feel so much relaxation in my mind means it remains concentrate now. I
come to know about four regulative principles of life- No intoxication, no meat eating, no illicit sex, no
gambling. At the end, I want to say that due to mercy of lord Krishna and yours, I got so much
knowledge about God and i feel changes in my life. I request to you for your blessings on me in future
also and show me the way at difficult situation of my life.

Dear Prabhupada
You are a person came in my life holding a candle of knowledge and its light has pierced deep into our
heart and darkness from my ignorant life has folded many times. By these glorifying words I thank you
my spiritual master Srila Prabhupada. I was entangled in the hairs of the maya and with my every step
I moved ahead I moved towards sins and ignorance, but it was you who caught my hands before I fall in
the pit. It was you who showed the way out and we are still trying following your instructions as
footprints of your lotus feet and I pray to you do not let those footprints fade in my life. Those footprints
of your lotus feet are the way to back to god head where we will be able to serve Krishna with no fail.
By grace of pure devotee like you I am confident that I will be delivered from this material existence to
the spiritual world. After coming into the shelter of ISKCON I am grateful to you to say that my life is
now a vector quantity since it has got a right direction now otherwise I was scalar with no direction.
I have many impurities in me like I dont know why I am addicted to watching movies I want to give up
this but alone I am unable to do this I need your help in this so kindly hear my plea and let me loose
upon this habit.
Thanking you,
Inder Singh

Dear Prabhupada
Please accept my respectful obeisance at your lotus feet.

received from you. But by your causeless mercy I am trying to write - Prabhupada, you are very great

soul. You know everything about me, but I don't have faith upon me. I am not in this stage and
condition to choose or judge that, what is good for me...?. I am only an instrument of your hand. Please
use it whenever, wherever, however you want. I want live always in the shelter of your lotus feet. I have
so many desires to serve movement in a very nice way. Please judge that desire
I request you Prabhupada please protect me from wrong path. I want to become your sincere disciple.
That is my desire. Please fulfill it.
..... Ooh Prabhupada your each activity inspired me. You established 108 temples various places in the

be merciful unto me.

His Divine Grace Srila Prabhupada,
Prabhupada is uniquely qualified to translate and teach Vedic knowledge. He is the representative of a
well-documented disciplic succession and I find everything related to spiritual life and Krishna
consciousness in Prabhupada's lectures and teachings.
Prabhupada as he is! An intimate insight into the life and teachings of the Hare Krishna Saint.
Thank you, O spiritual master.

My dear Srila prabhupad
I am heartily thankful to you for giving Krishna consciousness. I was darkness before coming in Krishna
consciousness. I didnt have proper understanding of Hare Krishna maha mantra, before coming folk
hostel. I learned many benefit of chanting Hare Krishna mantra .in folk hostel my daily schedule has
been changed. I understood goal of life for which we took birth. I got much knowledge about spiritual
books. Before I came in Krishna consciousness I was caught in the cage of maya but after coming in
Krishna consciousness I am free from all the contamination and learned about the Krishna book. When I
came in Krishna consciousness I fell very happy.
Today on your appearance day i convey my best felicitation and would thank you for being a pioneer of
the world.

Bhakta Jubin Nathawat
Firstly, I would like to thank you for bringing me in touch with humble devotees of lord Krishna so that
my mind that was earlier totally surrounded by materialistic issues could at least see another path of
spiritual world. Earlier I used to think world was only a battle ground where you have to fight for
everything and my religious beliefs were also sentimental not logical. But after attending sessions on
Krishna consciousness I really came to know about the real goal of life and that we are surrounded by a
false covering of maya that keeps us away from reaching our beloved Lord KRISHNA.
VyasaPuja2011

It is through your books and preaching that we are able to pursue right path in life. Therefore I would
request you with all the cells of my heart to kindly give me strength enough to follow the right path even
when circumstances are adverse and to always show me the right directions in life.
Finally I would like you to please kindly keep me always in check from any wrong doings and lead me
back to KRISHNA.
Trying to be a better soul
Yours servant,
Jubin Nathawat

My dear Srila Prabhupada
I am very thankful to you for come in Krishna consciousness. I have no attachment with lord Krishna. I
was totally in darkness. Slowly my belief in god was finishing.
When I came in contact with Krishna consciousness then I came to know that how ignorant i was . i
understood goal of my life. I found all answers of my questions in Krishna consciousness by reading
books and by devotees. I am living in folk hostel and perform all activities instructed by you. I felt real
happiness in serving of lord Krishna.

My dear lord and Spiritual Master rla Prabhupda,
Please accept my humble obeisances at the dust of your divine lotus feet. All glories to you!
Dear rla Prabhupda,
On this sacred occasion of your Vysa-pj celebration, I remember your transcendental qualities and
feel your presence in our midst and in our heart.We, your followers, are most fortunate. We have been
blessed by Lord Caitanya, who sent you to interrupt our purposeless lives. You bring sanity. You bring
light. In the midst of the craziness and tears of our lives, rla Prabhupda, you give us hope. You bring
down the fever of material consciousness. Thank you, rla Prabhupda, for your kindness. You changed
the way and direction of our life. Under your perfect guidance we get a purposeful goal of our life.
You give us hope by your example. You give us hope by your soothing words. You give us hope that the
world does have purpose. You give us hope that Kiha is our supreme and best friend. You give us
hope by exposing the faults of this materialistic world. You give us hope that the human spirit can be
reformed through the process of bhakti.
Prabhupada it is my second vyasa puja. By your mercy I made a little bit progress. Prabhupada I have
done so many mistakes, offences and anarthas but you given me chance to remain in your movement.
Prabhupada give me intelligence so that I can understand and follow your instructions properly and
become more determined. I pray to you that you bless me with this adaptive power, intrinsic to Vedic
culture, which you manifested in such brilliant fashion. Your Divine Graces books are the basis, yet i
VyasaPuja2011

often dont read your books as much as i need to. I need your mercy so that I can fully imbibe all the
teachings of your books and be empowered to transmit the nectar of your teachings to the fallen souls.
May we all enjoy a natural taste of nectar from reading your transcendental literature and be able to
transmit that nectar to others.
You have given us so many invaluable things, rla Prabhupda, and this gift of your faith is one of those
gifts. rla Prabhupda, please bless this most degraded servant to continue humbly serving your divine
instructions. Srila Prabhupada make my faith strong in you and Krishna. I am praying to you, rla
Prabhupda, on this most auspicious day of your appearance in this world, to instill in my hearts a drop
of this same faith. Give me strength so that I can appreciate of your mission to make the whole world
Kiha conscious. For me that means keeping your association through your books and instructions,
and keeping the association of those who are faithful to you. Please continue to give me the shelter of
your perfect guidance.
Praying in the dust of your divine lotus feet for desperate need of your mercy,
Your servent

Hare Krishna
Thank you Srila Prabhupada Ji for saving my life and telling me aim of life. When I was unaware about
your ISKCON/FOLK my life was full of confusion and there was not happiness and satisfaction. I was
living in dreams and I had no idea what is the aim of my life. I had not believed on myself that what to
do or what not to do. One day I planned for future but next day all was clear that was my routine. When
first time I came at your place as on Dec.4, 2010 I felt a special kind of energy and happiness in myself
that was true. Later on I was answered of my questions and I started following your instructions I felt
that my everything(living, talking etc) is suddenly changing Prabhupada Ji and main thing I felt my
eternal happiness. Actually Prabhupadaji I came there for food n saving my single diet. But I dont know
that day will change my life.
At last I have not words explaining the whole but Prabhupadaji you and Krishna and Radharani can feel.
My dear His divine grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupadaji please keep me in your shelter and
engage me in the service of lotus feet of my sweet lord Krishna.
Prabhupadaji I am not able to serve my sweet lord Krishna, only you can
provide path of service. Please Prabhupada ji give me your mercy and engage me in
service of my sweet lord. Prabhupada ji please keep me away from all kinds of darkness of
external life. I have not words for expressing your thanks Prabhupada ji
but you can feel.
Thank you Srila Prabhupadaji.
Love Kush

Bhakta Mayank Nayak
A year back I was a lost entity in thick illusion. I used to be firm on my imperfect ideas. I feel today that
as if I was destined to be here at folk hostel but still it was not possible if you hadnt founded the
incredible ISKCON where devotees are convinced to your facts on gods both logically and emotionally
and long for Krishna prema.
Today I am contented with the hygienic life I am living as a student here.
The ISKCON is the best in the world because you call a person a brahmana out of his karma. You
established Vrindavan again to the eyes of the world which is the home of Lord Krishna. Today millions
of misguided souls witness the place.
I offer my prayers at your lotus feet.
Your neophyte devotee

Please accept my humble obeisance at your lotus feet. Before coming in your shelter I was completely in
mode of ignorance and committed many sinful activities. But after joining your movement I learnt many
things. Some of them are:
I came to know about the supreme personality of godhead Sri Krishna.
I learnt how to worship lord. Before coming in touch with you, my relationship with god was just like a
businessman. I was visiting temple daily and was asking for many things which were all temporary
(material desires). But now I am worshiping God in mood of devotional service as my duty.
You told me something beyond this material world i.e Goloka Vrindavana. By your grace my sinful
activities are reduced. I daily chant the maha-mantra.
Please shed your causeless mercy upon me so that I can chant 16 rounds daily without offense and
advance further in Krishna Consciousness and can develop real love for Krishna. Please be merciful
upon me and take me in the shelter of your lotus feet. Because only by your mercy I can get Krishna.
Thanking you
Your servant

I offer my respectful humble obeisance to Srila Prabhupada Ji.
Please give me the shade of your divine lotus feet to progress in the spiritual life. Before joining folk
hostel, my mind was very restless and distressful. I always use to think about material comfort mostly
money.
I was nonbeliever of god and did not know the supreme personality of godhead. Now I have understood
all the things and feeling very calm in my mind and living with full of dignity and have understood the
real purpose of human life. After getting the opportunity, several times I have committed many sinful
activities disobeying your orders. But it is only because of causeless mercy that you have kept me in your
service even after committing so many offenses. Please give me the sufficient strength to obey your
orders and to progress in spiritual life.

Lord Krishna. We are eternally existing soul. I have done so many mistakes in my life please forgive me
for my mistake. Due to only by your mercy i came to know the very important instructions which you
have given to save me from the material world. Srila Prabhupada. So even i serve you more, with my full
capacity & please keep me in your shelter of your lotus feet, please never reject me oh Srila Prabhupada.

Firstly accept my humble obeisances unto your lotus feet, my Prabhupada. I joined 7 days programme
named A Journey of Self Discovery at Hare Krishna movement, Jaipur and I got definitely change in my
life. Before joining the classes, I thought that we can achieve GOD only by good karma. But now I have
learnt many things which can be applied in our life to go to back to LORD KRISHNA. And when I
returned to home after completing my course, the whole day I thought about those classes only and
knowledge given in that.
I got definitely change in my life and now I decided that I will apply all rules and regulations in my life,
simultaneously performing all my duties also.
Dear Prabhupada, please give me potential and strength with enough courage to overcome all problems
and thus should be able to do Bhakti of LORD KRISHNA.

Oh My Dear Srila Prabhupada !
Hare Krishna
Please accept my humble obeisance to your great lotus feet. I have joined this Krishna consciousness
movement in year 2010 from Folk hostel kukas. I am very grateful to you that you grant me to join this
movement and I must expand as I can do it. By this I get good decision to do work and self confidence. I
got so many things from this group. I want to tell that how other people can just say some false word to
us. Due to that I was very upset one day. When I am chanting the other thought coming in mind and I
stop at that time and do other work how I can avoid this.
The main thing is that my parents wants me that. I should not spend more time in bhakti and kirtana
but I enjoy it very much one thing is
That I want to select in get exam to preach with IITians also. Some also laugh at me and saying
fatty...fatty. But I always ignore that. So please help me my great guru in following the rules and
regulations. Also chant eight round evil thought came in mind. I follow four regulative principles and
everything is alright by mercy of you and Krishna
Please have the mercy on me.
Your funny and foolish servant

Please accept my humble obeisances at dust of Your Lotus feet.
All Glories to Guru & Gauranga.
All Glories to Your divine Grace & Your Sincere followers.
Thank you Srila Prabhupada for allowing me to spend another year in Krishna Consciousness. In this
year, many things I realized which I heard before. Just like reaction of offending Vaishnava & know
more closely about Vrindavan temples and pastimes.
Now I have completed my two and half years in KC & i am seeing that as time is going the more
understanding about Krishna Consciousness is revealing within my heart.
But Prabhupada still I am facing many facing many obstacles in following K.C. but I saw that every time
whenever I feel some difficulty your teaching becomes the only way to come out from it otherwise if ill
VyasaPuja2011

fall down the same difficulty while reaming outside of your movement then i could hardly able to
manage the things on it would take more time.
So thank u again Srila Prabhupada for Your mercy in this last year I visited Ayodhaya dham Hare
Krishna Hill, Divyadesham & 5 times Vrindavan Dham.
So Srila Prabhupada please keep me in the shelter of your lotus feet & allow this menial servant to
remain eternally at Your lotus feet

First of all I am very thankful to you for making me realize that till now I have spent my life in partial
ignorance. I came to you with a selfish purpose to learn meditation so that I can focus on my goals

aims of my life. Please bless me so that I can come out of the ignorance and live my life in a better way

My Dear Spiritual Master Prabhupada,
You have given us this Divine Krishna Consciousness which is topmost and higher than any other
knowledge in this material world.
You are very dear to Lord Krishna and I am very fortunate that I came in contact with your philosophy.
You have given us a path to come out from this material world. Your knowledge is like a light in
darkness. You have given us philosophy, you have given us temples for worship, you have given us
opportunity to serve the lord and become advance in spirituality.
Your knowledge is unlimited like water in the ocean which is impossible to me to understand completely
and I cannot payback you even one drop of water. I can thank you for your causeless mercy on me. I
think that I am the most fallen soul among all living beings. So my dear spiritual master be mercy full on
me so I can understand your philosophy. I am very foolish person that you are giving me diamond but I
am running after stones. So please give me the intelligence to understand your great Krishna Conscious
VyasaPuja2011

philosophy, so I can make my life successful. I am so fallen that you are distributing Krishna
Consciousness freely but I am not able to take it completely. So please give me your blessings.

which are blinded by the darkness of ignorance with the torch light of knowledge. By your divine mercy,
my dormant soul become energetic enough to change our life and started progressing in spiritual life.

Hare Krishna,
Before join Krishna consciousness I was never go to any temple but i believe in god strongly but didnt
go any temple. When I joined Krishna consciousness I did know about Gods opulence and I did know
about A.C. BHAKTI VEDANT SWAMI SRILA PRABHUPADA. I really inspired by their holy books and
very scientific way they explained in it. I knew what is human life? Who I am? Why we are suffering in
this material world? by their books.
After joined Krishna consciousness I felt many changes in my life. Prabhupadaji is really pure devotee of
god Krishna and I want to become like Prabhupada but now I am nothing in front of Prabhupadaji. I
really thankful to him that their books and their principle made me so many changes in my life. They
changed many people in around the world. 108 ISKCON they made. Its really very inspiring works and i
feel so proud after join to Krishna consciousness.
I want to distribute their books in public because I know in this Kaliyuga these books everyone needs. I
want to distribute Prabhupadas message to all people through their books.
Your disciple,
Pooranmal Kumawat

Respected A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada
Firstly, I am very thankful, that by your mercy I came in touch with ISKCON. According to my
experience, now I feel happy ...very happy ...instead of my past life, which I spent without 'KRSNA'. I
came in touch with 'Krishna Consciousness from last 4 months by lecture held on SOS.
Let me be your one of the disciple.
So, please allow me to render service at your lotus feet till my last breath of life.
Ooh Praphupada you are always in my heart and in all of your disciple. It is too difficult to express my
feelings in the form of words. I just want to say that it is a great experience to serve you as a guru.
So now I am ending my conversation with these few words written above.
Proud to be a folk boy
Hare Krishna
Yours

All glories to Srila Prabhupada, who is the only, hope for all the fallen souls of this age!!!!
All glories to the universal teacher, by whose presence the entire universe is glorified and blessed with
Krishna prema!!!!!
It seems to glorify you and offering you prayers is the most difficult task to me, because I have neither
the qualification nor any words to offer prayers to you. You have given us so much that cant be even
imagine. To glorify you is something like look beyond the vast ocean with our limited eyes. , which is
practically not possible.
Actually the fallen and most sinful souls like me can never repay your debts, but simply can depend on
your mercy for survival. I simply beg for your causeless mercy with folded hands that O! MERCY
INCARNATION OF KRISHNA!! Please be always merciful unto me. Please always protect me from the
pitfalls of the unconquerable energy of Krishna. Please always remind me to chant the holy name of the
lord and give me a place in the shade of your lotus feet. Even though I am the most unqualified person,
but your mercy knows no limit. So O! MASTER OF ALL THE FALLEN SOUL!!! Please be merciful
unto me and never let me go away from the shelter of your lotus feet, for which even the demigods are
also longing. O! PRABHUPADA!! Kindly save me, I dont know what to do and where to go? Please
guide me and protect me.
Dear Prabhupada, you are the only one who can deliver all the fallen souls of this universe and there is
no other hope. Let this HARE KRISHNA MOVEMENT be spread throughout the whole universe and
reclaim the fallen souls like us. Please use us in this movement in whatever way you want. If I can serve
this movement in any way, I will consider the purpose of my existence is fulfilled and the most blessed
person in the entire creation.
Your Eternal Debtor,
Rahul Samaria

I offer my respectful obesience unto the feet of my guru maharaj Srila Prabhupadji, without whom i
would have never been able to come out from the hellish condition of life I was living. Though I am not
having his physical presence but still his enormous teachings.
Though His books have never made me feel that he is not physically present with us. The ISKCON
MOVEMENT founded by Prabhupadji serves the pious purpose of practising of bringing conditioned
souls back to godhead. Before being aware of ISKCON, I was a man living my life without principles. I
was a person living my life in chaos and confusions. I was leading a life filled with stress, anxiety and
mental depression. I was troubled by feeling of insecurity and my mind used to wander in darkness filled
with uncertainty. Before coming in contact with iskcon. I had happened to join other spiritual
organisation in search of place. But I unable to find any, whereas it has just been 4 months of my being
in this KRISHNA CONCIOUNESS that I am unable to access my spiritual progress filled with peace,
internal happiness and contentment.
Through books of Guru Maharajaji have come to know the fact of spiritualism. I have been able to know
self and its owner that is Krishna. I have come to know about the ways of actually serving the lord as he
is enjoyer and we living entities are enjoyed. I am so much thankful to guru maharaja ji that he did such
wonderful things by translating the books of SRIMAD BHAGWATAM AND SRIMAT BHAGWAT GITA
which are the real essence of spiritual knowledge. I would pay my humble obeisance unto the feet of
SRILA PRABHUPAD JEE and request him to kindly bless me with the benediction of KRISHNA
CONCIOUNESS for my each and every birth.

Srila Prabhupad,
I offer my humble obeisance to your lotus feet with great reverence. Prabhupad i am very obliged to you
for giving me opportunity to serve your lotus feet and because of your mercy i came to know a little
about lord Krishna .so this is my request to you that please keep me at your lotus feet so that i can have
the higher taste. Prabhupada i cannot repay for whatever you have given me. I have only one way to
repay that by serving your lotus feet constantly so that i may have one day Krishna prema.
Thankyou Srila prabhupad

Srila Prabhupad this most fallen soul has no qualification to write an offering to you but its your
causeless mercy that you have bestowed upon me this opportunity.
Srila Prabhupad its really very difficult to overcome the three modes of material nature. And a fallen
soul like me always absorbed in ignorance and passion finds it very difficult to stick to the path of
spiritual life and follow your instruction rigidly. Its only your causeless mercy that somehow still holds
me here and my future also rests completely upon your mercy.
Prabhupad I have so many anarthas and as you explain the biggest offense is vaishnav apradh but still
out of my ignorant and foolish nature I tend to commit vaishnav apradh in someway or other.
Prabhupad I am very fearful of the fact that I may not be bereft of your association and get lost in this
dark well of material existence. Prabhupad please save me.
Prabhupad please help me to come out of all my anarthas, limitations and shortcomings and if its your
sweet will and if I deserve then please engage me in the service of your lotus feet to carry out the mission
of Lord Chaitanya.
Yours most fallen son,
Ram Gopal

Sometimes ago there was a very deep question in my mind that what should a man do in his life that he
gets full satisfaction before death and can happily invite death. I always asked this question to myself and
my friends but I never got a satisfactory answer and my mind was flickering between many answers.
Ten months before by the mercy of Krishna and yours I came in touch with your movement and Oh
Prabhupada I not only got the satisfactory answer for this question but also many other inquires and
answer. I came to know about the real question of life and solution. After a period of time I became able
to realize Prabhupada your surrenderence to Krishna.
It is very difficult for me to know Prabhupada who you are but I personally think that you appeared here
not only for the purpose of preaching the message of Bhagwadgita and Bhagwatam but also to give a
practical definition of real surrenderence by your every single action to show the world whom to
surrender, how to surrender, the real love, how to love and the way to real happiness by taking shelter of
the lotus feet of Krishna.
Oh Prabhupada you are the only trustworthy person for me because you have perfectly taken shelter of
the lotus feet of Krishna and for that I feel myself to be very fortunate. Oh Prabhupada let me be honest
for something, I have got many diseases and I have done many wrong things in this period but Oh
Prabhupada I pray for your pardon and mercy so that I can overcome these diseases Prabhupada. I beg
your pardon please and I will never do mistake in future again. Prabhupada give me your mercy so that I
will be able to take part in Chaitanya Mahaprabhus mission at whatever level I can. Please keep me in
the shelter of your lotus feet always and be my path provider for the highest achieving success that is
Krishna Prema.

I am Ramesh Chand Kumawat. I am B. Tech. Final year student of UCE RTU Kota. Its was in my 3 year
5 semester when I heard that there was a folk class by a religious movement- HARE KRISHNA
MOVEMENT in my college.as according to title of class i thought that it would be a career motive class
and thus i attend that class i joined the SECRET OF SUCCESS session about which i came to know
through the folk class.
The SOS session completely changes my way of thinking and lifestyle.I started chanting HARE
KRISHNA MANTRA daily. Initially my friends made a joke about me but i didnt give up it.
In the last of sessions i heard about folk hostel which wasready to live in my 6 semester. And thus i got
the opportunity to learn a lot from the lectures and scriptures of SRILA PRABHUPAD. Great thanks to
Srila Prabhupad and Hare Krishna movement for enlightening my life with Krishna bhakti.

"Whatever action a great man performs, common men follow. And whatever standards he sets by
exemplary acts, all the world persues." Krishna -- BG
And Prabhupada you are also much more than just a great man, you are a saktyavesa avatar and pure
unalloyed servant of God, Sri Krishna. You are more than just a saint or sadhu, you are jagat guru Srila
Prabhupada, the one at who's feet all gurus and saints are sitting.
So, as long as Your's vani is around, you are there personally to guide all humanity back home, back to
Godhead. Otherwise, why would you write books? Why record your speaking? Why make videos? Why
make CD's? Because future generations would then also get the blessings of the pure devotee, the
VyasaPuja2011

saktyavesa avatar of God Himself, Srila Prabhupada. Every word in yours teachings is just as valid today
and tomorrow as they were in your physical presence. This is the amazing spiritual potency of the pure
devotee. He knows everyone personally on the spiritual platform. He doesn't have to personally take an
airplane to your home town in order to save you from illusion and bestow his blessings. And
Prabhupada can speak through his pure representatives also. If the purity is there, if they are following
his instructions purely, it will have the right effect. As Prabhupada said, "Purity is the Force." But no one
will ever be able to imitate Srila Prabhupada. No one can ever take his place as the Founder-Acharya of
ISKCON and the one and original initiator of the pure chanting of the Hare Krishna mahamantra around
the world! Few incidents I would like to quote which are really motivating for me:
1. Once in San Francisco a girl was challenging: "When I eat meat it becomes a part of me, so I don't
kill." Your Divine Grace replied, "Then why don't you eat your father?" She was stunned but then
replied, "Because I love him". Your Divine Grace replied, "Your love is restricted if you eat animals but
not your father, brother or friend. In Krishna consciousness we love all living entities." She replied, "If
you eat vegetables, you also kill. Your Divine Grace retorted, "Yes, that is the law of nature, one entity
kills another for survival, but we eat vegetables because we love Krishna and He says to offer a leaf,
flower or fruit to Him, so that is why we eat vegetables." She said, "That is an expert answer, I accept it.
Thank you very much."
2. During Your illness in New York even though You were in a very weak condition You were controlled.
You saw Your servant sitting by You. Although he was anxious to see to all Your needs and was just
sitting waiting for Your order, you immediately said "Why are you just sitting there idly? Don't be idle,
always chant Hare Krishna."
3. When You were preparing to go to Russia, one devotee said "The only thing wrong about going to
Russia now, Srila Prabhupada, is that the mango season is just beginning in India and I know how much
You like mangoes". You replied to him, "Don't you know that preaching in the snows of Russia is far
sweeter than any mango?"
4. Once when some people were not respectful I asked why they did not understand the beauty of
Krishna Consciousness. You pleasantly laughed, even after so much disrespect, and said there is a
Bengali Proverb which states "If you make a dog a King, and he is sitting on a throne, and you throw
him a shoe, he will run off the throne and bite the shoe.
To conclude, my only wish is to do your glorification 24x7 with this insignificant mouth.
I love you Srila PRABHUPADA.... just the word Prabhupada itself gives us immense energy to do
devotional service, thats a sweet truth of your every servant. Just make me the dust of your lotus feet.
Your disobedient servant

My dear spiritual master Srila Prabhupad
Please accept my humble obeisance at your lotus feet. It is good opportunity for me to writing offering to
you. I am so fallen that I can not understand you, what about Sri Krishna. I was under ignorance in my
life before coming to your lotus feet. I did not know the real goal of human life. But when i read your
spiritual books then I came to know the perfect knowledge and real goal of human life. It is only your
causeless mercy on fallen souls like me. Reading books and quotes continuously is the turning point in
my life. My dear spiritual master I have still many defects in me and i know that only by your mercy I
can kill my defects because it is very difficult for me to do so without your mercy. Srila Prabhupad you
are so merciful that you distribute such an auspicious and great thing which is necessary for every soul.
You are very dear to Sri Krishna because you are giving message of sri Krishna to every fallen soul.
Thank you Srila Prabhupad to give me such great and transcendental things like chanting and prasadam.
Please bless me all in my spiritual journey.

When I imagine the time without knowing about ISKCON and Prabhupadji. I think I was living
unusually without any knowledge to live life. By only by the grace of you Prabhu. I think I was able to
know that who is that supreme power running this whole world. Especially the preaching given by
ISKCON people with the at most logic was really graceful and was full of knowledge for me.
Seven days of my life I spent in ISKCON ashram was the most beautiful and intellectual once of my
whole life.
Specially chanting, Vrindavana Trip was to awes are that I cant express in words.
Thank you Prabhupad for Enlightening me.

Hare Krishna Prabhupad ji, first of all please accept my regards to your lotus feet. Before coming in
touch to Krishna Consciousness Society, although I believed in God, but I have no logical reasons
behind this but by your lovely examples my heart became more purify & I have lot of confusion also that
who is superior RAMA, KRISHNA, SHIVA, etc. But now this confusion is not in my mind because I have
VyasaPuja2011

surrendered myself to Lord Krishna on the behalf of you. I also came to know the four regulative
principles before this I was involved in intoxication, gambling and I also ate eggs. But nowadays, I am
avoiding all these things. I find that you are not allowing me for these. And many more changes are there
in my life because of you. I always find you around me and guiding me. So, I am thankful to you and
requesting to guide me always. Please, please......

Respected Srila prabhupada,
I offer my most respectful obeisances unto His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupda'S
lotus feet. O spritiual master due to your causeless mercy now we are part of this krishna consciousness
movment which was started by Loard caitanya. There was always teaching of loard caitanya within your
teaching. By spreading knowledge through your books millions of people benifited and become libreted
allover this world because Loard caitanya wanted "nagar aadi gram sarvatra prachar hovo mero naam".
Scripture said:
"saksad-dharitvena samasta sastrair
utkas tatha bhavyata eva sadbhih
kintu prabor yah priya eva tasya
vande guroh sri-caranaravindam"
"In the revealed scriptures it is declared that the spiritual master should be worshiped like the supreme
personality of Godhead, and this injuction is obeyed by pure devotees of the Lord. The spritiual master
is the most confidient servent of the Lord. Thus let us offer our respectful obeisances unto the lotus feet
of our spiritul master".
You spread the knowledge of krishna conscisness whole over the world and made hundredes of temples
of shri radha krishna within 11 year, it is impossible for an ordinary humain being.
It is very diffcult to go to home back to Godhead, but by chanting 16 round sincerily and reading your
books and by following 4 regulative principle we can easily go back to Godhead.Because there are only
teachings of Lord krishna within your books. You told us about the 3 mode of nature and gave us
knowledge how we can liberete us from these mode of nature. But we are so fallen that we can not
follow your easy instruction. We are not able to get the knowledge krishna concisness but due to your
causeles mercy we are selected for this movment. You written a nice commentry on BHAGAVAD-GITA
AS IT IS and Srimad-Bhagavatam (Bhagavata purana) O spritiual master, O ocean of mercy give us
strength that we clean dirtyness from our heart(cetodarpan marjanam) by the process of chanting.
Thank you srila prabhupada for ISKCON, FOLK, AKSHAYA PATRA etc.
Your supreme fallen disciple and son

I offer my most respectful obeisances to the lotus feet of my spiritual master. I have no qualification to
glorify you but I would thank you form the care of my hear for saving me form all these difficulties and
problem of this material world is called Dukhalayam Ashaswatam. I was born in darkest ignorance and
my Guru, my spiritual master, opened my eyes with the torch of knowledge. I had no habit of reading
and chanting 16 rounds. Also I was thinking that God are equal and anyone can be worshipped by Your
mercy.
"I know that Krishna is the supreme personality of Godhead.It means Krishna is not dependent to
anyone but all activities depends on Krishna". I am following four regulative principles and also
observing Ekadashi and due to your mercy ,I read your book proper way and chant as much as possible.

O my dear Srila Prabhupad!
Please accept dandvat of this most fallen and conditioned soul at your lotus feet . Prabhupada, you came
to my life as the guide who promised me to show the path for entire life time. You suddenly appeared to
my life like some angel appears miraculously. After your books, devotees made it true and valuable
appearance. Otherwise, O my master, I would entrap in mayas mundane activities. You showed me what
is devotion? You came rightly as saviour of my life. But when I see ISKCON today, I feel your great
absence thats why I am offering a Prayer: WHERE ARE YOU
Where are you Srila Prabhupada?
See what is happening to your ISKCON
O master! You put your heart and soul together,
Just to spread Chaitanya Mahaprabhus order.
You ran on roads to publish Back to Godhead,
And to fulfil your Spiritual masters wish.
You went to U.S. at the age of seventy,
Just to spread this Krishna Consciousness.
But see what is going on in ISKCON right now?
To those who appoint ritviks,
Have become self proclaimed gurus.
They started getting elaborate worship,
And unworthily they enjoyed the position.
But according to laws of Karma,
They fall down from standards.
Some are found in child abuse and illicit relationship,
Other ran out taking millions collected with hardships.
Nine out of eleven proclaimed gurus fallen up till now,
All this is going to your ISKCON, HOW?
But to regain and reform again,
Prabhupada we need your appearance again.
So, on this 116
th
Appearance day,
I am requesting that again there is need to appear today.
Please again revive this,
So everyone can enjoy transcendental bliss.
Up to our attempt we are trying to follow right,
Please show right way with sword of light.
It is all your deed, if you desire,
Make all reformation so HKM can shine like sapphire.
Please master give wisdom to chose right,
VyasaPuja2011

So that ISKCON glory may shine most bright.
Jai Srila Prabhupada, All glories to Sri Guru and Gauranga
Your most fallen servent

Bhakta Saurabh Kumar
Revered Prabhupad,
If truly analyze I have no right to write anything about you due to my qualities, but even because you are
so dear friend to fallen souls and ocean of mercy. Due to your causeless mercy I have got such a rare and
biggest opportunity to glorify your glories. It is very common for me to commit mistakes as my status
and even if is impossible for me to explain all your glories and even I have no qualification still I am
trying, please pardon me for my mistakes. It is my first experience to see and to feel such a dedication for
preaching the message of KRISHNA. I can just worship your dedication. So far as I concerned, I was
totally unpurified and bitterly affected by LUST and also so called forms of MAYA. Now I feel much
better than that time in fighting with such a situations.
I knew the real goal of life and also found the infinite source of Vedic knowledge through you by help of
your ISKCON devotees. Truly speaking, in this age ISKCON is just like a desire tree through which we
are getting your direct association and also a chance to serve KRISHNA and RADHARANI. Please be
merciful upon me and guide me so that I will not move in any situation by attacks of MAYA.

My dear Srila Parabhupada,
Please accept my obeisances. I am very thankful to you. Due to your causeless mercy, I came to know
about Krishna. Otherwise I was in darkness of forgetfulness of Krishna. This is your compaction that you
pick me. You gave me fair knowledge about Krishna. Without your mercy I could not come out from the
ocean of birth and death.
I was searching something about God, and got some concepts and philosophies but there was no
satisfaction. Them I thought that Bhatia and all these are of satyuga. We cant perform there things in
this age of kali. But in shelter of your lotus feet I came across knowledge of correct t philosophy but also
how can serve Lord in this age. I got real happiness in my life by practicing Krishna consciousness.
At last but not least, actually I have no words to express my feelings. I request that please give of that
level of strength so that I will not go away from Lotus feet of Krishna and I can serve Krishna with my
full efficiency. Your servant

My respectful humble obessiances unto the lotus feet of His Divine Grace Srila Prabhupada . Srila
Prabhupada you have established so many temples around the world and preached Krishna
consciousness and initiated so many disciples who were previously are unknown to the philosophy of
Krsna consciousness. You teach us serving Krsna is the purpose of human life, Krsna is the Absolute
Truth , Krsna is the Supreme Person , Krsna is the cause of all causes , everthing emanates from Krsna ,
we are the part and parcel of Krsna so our real job is to serve Krsna that is the perfection of human life.
Srila Prabhupada , before I came in touch with your Hare Krsna Movement , I do not know much about
Krsna but when I started to attend the Folk classes I came to know that the Krsna is the Supreme Person
and serving Krsna is ultimate goal of life. Also I came to know about various pastimes of Lord Krsna
with his beloved devotees which you have mentioned in Krsna Book. Srila Prabhupada by your mercy I
become able to chant the Hare Krsna Maha Mantra and by your mercy only I got to know about
following the four regulative principles and importance of following the instructions of Bhagavad Gita
As it is (song of the God). Srila Prabhupada , earlier I didn`t know about the Lord Chaintanya
incarnation but after reading your books I also came to know about various incarnations of Lord Krsna
like Narshimadeva , Varaha ,Maha Kurma etc
Srila Prabhupada I tried to follow your instructions nicely but sometimes I couldn`t follow them in all
and sometimes I intentionally break the rules like breaking the four regulative principles and sometimes
not chanting even 16 rounds ,eating bhoga and worst is that I dont do book reading. Please forgive me
Srila Prabhupada , I am your little child and please bestow your mercy upon me and I request you to
kindly keep me always at your service.
Yours most menial servant

your divine grace.
VyasaPuja2011

I am so fortunate that i got a chance to come in touch this HARE KRISHANA MOVEMENT. This is
possible only by your grace.
After coming in this movement, I have learnt lot of new things. Most of these things are about spiritual
life. However, i worship before coming in the movement... HANUMAN JI and other, according to
family tradition. But after coming here, I know ...Who is the Supreme..?
I came to know the difference between soul and body.
If I say about my bad habit, something was this... like 'sleeping more than six hours, intoxication (tea
only)'. But after coming here, I have given up all bad habits.
I came here with the motive to become a CA (Chartered Accountant). My study is going on well here.
Please give me the grace of your lotus feet that I get my motive. Please always bestow upon me your
mercy so that i can never forget your teachings and never again fell into the clutches of material
existence and acquire any bad habit and makes this human form of life perfect.
Yours disciple

Hare Krishna,
With respectful obeisance to our spiritual master A.C.Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada. As my material
introduction, I am Vipin Kumar jaiman. I am grateful to you.
Prabhupada, you are the saviour of my life. It is your causeless mercy. I cant repay for it to you. I was
living in the kingdom of maya and doing all the things what a human being should not do. You gave me
the association of Krishna and picked up from gutter. I was in the Tamo Guna and Rajo Guna and was
living in the passion mode all the time and didnt know about myself and was bewildering for my
existence. Suddenly you came and save my life. You gave me Krishna Consciousness and I am
VyasaPuja2011

following it. I am feeling very happy in your association, which I never got. Now I am following your
instructions, but I am not doing very perfectly. Please give me power to follow your instructions. Please
always engage me in the service of yours and Krishna. I heartily want to serve you lifetime but some
problems are coming due to maya. I know it is not so easy to become your servant but Prabhupada I am
begging to you for yours and Krishnas service. Please engage me in your service and please save me from
maya. I am grateful to you. Without your mercy, I cant get Krishna. So please do mercy on this fallen
soul. Please.
Thankyou so much.

My dear Srila prabhupad,
Ocean of mercy, please accept my humble obeisance to your lotus feet .
We get you as a most important gift by the lord Krishna, I feel most fortunate about myself. I come in
contact with you. Before the come in contact with you, my understanding level is almost same as an
ignorant person. When I start reading of your book then I know something about myself and real goal of
life. My life and all activities were like a karmi person.
Also where I become failure in my any activities I get confused and nervous but when I start reading
Bhagvad Gita and your offer books. I become free from all fear and nervous. Also my mind was always
flickering but where I start chanting of Hare Krishna maha mantra my mind gets consecrated, become
piece and full of pleasure.
Now I am feeling that I am happiest person in the word.
O Prabhupada I am trying to follow your all instruction and regulative principle but sometime regulative
broke.

Dear Prabhupada,
You are exactly the true son of lord Krishna and you fulfilled my desire to get a true guru. You are
coming in the disciplic succession so I am more fortunate person. You gave me the path of perfection
which is very rare to achieve for a common man.
Today I was watching Mahabharata serial reference by ISKCON BBT, so I realized that you are more
compassionate than a guru which use to teach his disciple to become an ideal emperor. You are most
affectionate to Krishna so you give me Krishna a path of going towards the aim of life in the mrityu loka,
which was rare to be achieved by big-big emperor in the history of Indian culture. You gave a path of
liberation from material bondage which is the quqlity of a bonofide spiritual master.
Your servant,
Yatish Suwalka

My worshipable gurudeva,
I bow down unto your lotus feet again and again Krishna give me intelligence so I can write a offering to
Srila Prabhupada.
Although I am not eligible for serving your lotus feet but still you gave me an opportunity to serve lotus
feet of lord Sri Krishna.
I was in deep ignorance, more fallen than a worm but by your causeless mercy you only opened my eyes
and showed me path to Krishna, the real aim of life.
But I am so fool, so fallen that after knowing the path to Krishna I dont want to serve the lotus feet of
Krishna. Who will be more unfortunate than me?
VyasaPuja2011

O Prabhupada,
I have done thousands and thousands times offenses to you but still you are giving me chances to attain
the love of Krishna by chanting the holy name of Krishna.
I deserve to go to hell bcz I did not believe you, not followed your orders, spoke lie to you. Who will be
more sinful than me O Prabhupada,
I am most sinful and have done countless offenses to you and Sri Krishna. I must be punished for these
offenses but still cannot free from these offenses. Only you can forgive me. I am very sorry for every
offense I made to you, to Krishna. But O Prabhupad you are my gurudeva my lord in this birth and birth
after birth.
O gurudeva have mercy upon me so I can chant holy name of Hari. Have mercy so I can follow your
orders.
Have mercy so I can remember Krishna Supreme Personality of Godhead.

Jai srila praphupada
Dear srila praphupada.....
Please accept respectful obeisances at your lotus feet, we thank praphupada for cultured human
civilization for starting krishna consciousness moments.
We thought stillness principles, what is the aim of human life..? Difference between human being and
animal civilization...? Existence of soul, lord krishna is the super personality of god head, relationship
god with us, real guru, spiritual world, ultimate goal of libration by devotional service, process of
chanting and hare krishna mahamantara etc. And i promise, i will follow your footprints with stillness in
the future.
Please give me shelter of your lotus feet with best wishes krishna.
Your disciple

Please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet. All glories to your divine appearance. Lord
Krishna in the form of holy name and the instructions of spiritual master are the only shelter in this
material world. Only by your mercy, I can become humble, tolerant and advance in Bhakti. Please bless
me so that I become sincere and follow your instructions as it is and may develop some knowledge from
Vaishnava association to glorify and serve you. Although unfit but I pray KRISHNA that I realize and
never forget what you have done for fallen soul like me.
Pray to remain always at your lotus feet.

Hare Krishna, Param shradhya Shri srila Prabhupad Ji,
On the very first place I dont find myself capable enough to be thankful to you for making me Krishna
conscious, words are falling short to express my heartfelt gratitute for being so merciful.
I wish to submit one thing before you that although I feel blessed for being connected with the
movement of Krishna consciousness but to be very honest at times I feel very sorry for myself for not
getting this golden opportunity in earlier days of my life as I wanted to see myself as a social worker after
completion of my education and had never ever desired to be settled by being a part of the institution of
marriage i.e. as a grihasth. Still not getting what you inspire is yet not that painful as not being able to
live your life in spiritual way.Anyways, there must be some good reason behind it.
Therefore Prabhupad ji, may I request you to bless me and my family members especially to my kids by
providing requisitive circumstances for us to be able to connect ourselves with this spiritual platform of
Krishna Consciousness.
Thank you once again for explaining us not only the purpose of life but also the need of following the
preachings of Geeta. Respected Prabhupad Ji, as you have been an instrument for making me understand
the true meaning of happiness kindly also bless me for being able to reciprocate the same to other fellow
beings.
I love and feel connected to Krishna,Srimati Radha Rani and to you Prabhupad ji from all my heart.
VyasaPuja2011

Hare Krishna to all devotees of Krishna.
With warm regards,
Jyoti Joshi.

Please accept my most respectful obeisance on to your lotus feet. All glories to your divine grace.
Vyasa puja is the most blessed event for the devotees. On this auspicious day of yours divine appearance
I am offering my homage to your lotus feet.
I was associating with so many spiritual organizations and temples but none of them have given such a
wonderful process ( ie., Bkathi ) which lead to Lord Krishna .
There are so many societies\institutions. They are all trying to establish their position in this material
world, they never think beyond this . But your society ( ISKCON) will give such a wonderful process to
prepare for reaching Lord Krishna after death by escaping from the clutches of maya .
Prabhupada you have planted a desire tree that yield will gives to reach Krishnaloka (Goloka Vrindavan)
.
Under the able guidance and leadership of Sri Madhupandit Prabhuji all the above seven activites are
taken care and followed systematically by the individual deparment, headed by dedicated devotees.
Inaddition to the above Akshaya patra feeding mid-day meals to 13Lakhs children everyday, headed by
madhu pandit prabhuji president of ISKCON-Bangalore, chairman of the Akshaya Patra Foundation
which is a world's largest NGO-run school meal program.
These are all happening by your inconceivable mercy and inspiration which you are giving to Madhu
Pandit prabhu & devotees of ISKCON Bangalore, Hare Krishna Hill. (Madhu Pandit ji is following your
instructions 100%)
All the activities are "Simply wonderful.
If we engage sincerely and honestly in any one of the activities it is guaranteed that we will not remain in
this material world and we can straight away land on Krishna-loka ( GOLOKA VRINDAVAN ) bypassing
all the 14 planetary system .
Chaitanya mahaprabhu has diagnosed the diseases and he has sent you as the specialist to prescribed the
medicine which is 16 rounds of chanting "Hare Krishna" mahamantra, which is the ESCAPE VELOCITY
for those who want to get freed from this material bondage. You have also given seven escape routes ie.,
seven purpose of ISKCON .
Lord Chaitanya order to preach
" Yare dekha tare kaha Krishna upadesha
Amara ajnaya guru hana tara ei desa
- Instruct everyone to follow the order of Lord Sri Krishna as they are given in Bhagavad Gita and Srimad
Bhagavatam .
Lord Chaitanyas Desires
" Prithivate acheata nagaradi grama
savatra prachara naibe mora nama "
- His desires is that all over the world everyone , in every village , every town know of Sri Chaitanya
mahaprabhu and his sankirtana movement . These are the inner feelings of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu .
Chaitanya mahaprabhu order and desires are taken care by the 4th activity of seven purpose of ISKCON.
VyasaPuja2011

To engage in this direction please purify me , bless me and give me the strength and your shelter so that
I can always participate in sankirtana movement . This is my only desire to fulfill your ISKCON
movement .
Pious activities can be executed only when inspired by your mercy . Therefore without taking your
shelter at your lotus feet one cannot surpass the influence of material energy ( maya ).
Please deliver this fallen soul from the waves of the material world . Bestow upon me to purify me and
extinguish the suffering of material existence . O spiritual master please give me your mercy so that I
shall very quickly become pure and get the taste of Hare Krishna mahamantra and start preaching .

When I was doing my M.tech. In 2005-06. I first came in contact with ISKCON, and I was very much
attracted eith magnificient temple by mercy of the guru the project work(company) nearer to temple.
Then during my project I use to come to temple regularly and I thought of entering the govt.job. since I
was doing project work, I got placement in the same company. Then after 6 months of working. The
schedule was very tight from morning 8:00hr to night until the completion of work. Some times I use to
go late night. But I was regularly practicing Krishna conciusness by chanting two rounds.
VyasaPuja2011

By the mercy of lord and guru, I got placed in a govt.company but my posting at 120kms from main
ISKCON temple @KGF.
During my service at KGF. I use to regularly chant 2 rounds . then one day after chanting I prayed the
lord & guru, if I transferred to Bangalore then I can still progress to Krishna conciusness.
By the mercy of the guru & Krishna immediately within 3 months I got a transfer to head quator where
there is 5 days working. When other colligues were trying for transfer from past 2 to 5 years.
By the mercy of Srila Prabhupada. I came in contact with Krishna consciousness and came to knoe the
ultimate goal of life.
During or after coming in contact with ISKCON my life journay started going very smoothly, for every
problem may be material or spiritual Krishna use to bless me.

With utmost respect I pay my humble obeisance to you,
I came in contact with ISKCON in year 2006 as regular visiting devotes in 2006, in Mysore, before that
as person born in Veshnava family I was Krishana bhakata. After putting myself and family in the
ISKCON contact I read BAghwat Gita as it is by Sri L Prabhupada and under stood the Baghwat Gita
better than earlier . We have re-dedicated to the cause of Krishana Consciousness that happened due to
the mearcy of The Grate Gurau Shri L. Prabhu Pad. After that I became the LP and now we are regularly
doing japa of Maha mantra >8 rounds, and other poojas as per the guidance provided by Temple
Devotees. It is the great opportunity in life I got to come in to the Krishana Consciousness and read the
books of Sri L. Prabhu Pad, I could realize the goal of life and understood the relation of god with
human being . Now we are in KGF and doing twice in week sankirtan in a small group of other devotees
and on time to time other r activity in guidance of Sri Govindappa Prabhu( Govind Kirtan Das) and
Suresha Prabhu. The area of BEML NAGAR and KGF, getting benefited by the Sri L. Prabhupadas
ISKCON movement.
With this I again pay my obeisance to Sri L. Prabhupad

You are the most magnanimous and most merciful representative of our sweet Lord Sri Krsna. Nobody
except you could have saved us from this mire of dark nescience. But we are so fallen that even with this
we want to remain in our own world like hogs and dogs. Who can be more fallen than me? If you will
not be merciful on me than who else can show any mercy to me.
I was living like a dead stone, you gave me life. Now with this life which is your causeless mercy on me,
I want to serve you to my utmost capacity.
Kindly bless me. Though I am not qualified but I want to do something to spread the glories of your
movement worldwide. So many times I tend to become confused in my path of devotional service.
Kindly dissipate all kinds of ignorance in my path by the torch of knowledge.
It is due to your immense mercy that I have an international family in this kali-yuga. Anywhere I meet
devotees I feel I know them since long. I feel them closer to my heart than my own (material) family. All
glories to your wonderful disciples. They are the best association in this world. Being with them it
becomes so easy to remember Krsna.
Although most insignificant I take this as an opportunity to send this small piece of offering for this

Please accept my humble obeisances to your lotus feet.

Your kindness is bigger than an ocean that no one can measure it.
By your mercy only I can be in spiritual path.
I pray you to bless me to fully surrender to your lotus feet,
Your lotus feet are the only shelter for me.
I am praying you to keep me under the shade of your lotus feet.
Your shelter is the only way for me to get away from this material world.
Thanking you from the bottom of my dear gurudev!! All glories to you again and again!!!

All glories to Srila Prabhupada, Please accept my humble obeisances,
My dear guru maharaj, you are the only savior for this material world and for me too. By your chanting,
bhajans, books and lectures is most inspiring and torch the knowledge to my contaminated mind. To
become your disciple is not so easy and I must be gifted, but I dont know what pious activity I did to
became your disciple.
I understand as your disciple I must engage in your transdental mission, so please engage me to carry
out your mission. By your causeless mercy, still I am preaching whatever Prabhupada teach me. But right
now it is not sufficient; I want to perform a lot of service to please Krishna by your mercy.
As Prabhupad told in some lectures that, this material world full of distress and no eternal happiness. I
believe, only by your association there will happiness, I understand this world is not my original abode,
but I dont know there is a chances, to Back to Godhead or not.
Im pleased to inform, by your mercy I got a chance to serve in holy dham in Vrindavan. I work in
Akshaya Patra team to distribute prasadam to Brajawasi and most unbelievable service is, Radha Kund
and Kanchan Kund cleaning service. Thank you very much for this wonderful service. Eagerly waiting
for more Krishna, guru and vaishnava seva
I offer my respectful obeisances unto your lotus feet,

Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada
I was searching for happiness but this material life cannot satisfy me. Then I came in contact with the
book of Srila Prabhupada known as the Science of Self Realization. After reading this book I really
understood the real meaning of life. In this way I came into contact with the Hare Krsna movement
where I associated with devotees & read more books and chanted Hare Krsna maha mantra. Then I was
inspired to become a very active preaching member in Iskcon. After some time there were some
recommendation for initiation but I could not find any personality like His Divine Grace and I was
confused.
Later I met some of your senior disciples who told me about the July 9 letter. I was really convinced &
from that day I was very much inspired to serve His Divine Graces movement. And there were
arrangement going on in the ritvik initiation system. But I waited for 12 years to get initiated by His
Divine Grace. So now Im very happy & I will serve the movement that you have created the way you
wanted. I am begging at your lotus feet for your mercy and forgiveness for my offences.

I offer my most humble obeisances in the divine dust of the lotus feet of my most exalted spiritual
master, His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada. I was always lamenting that I couldn't
have come, by some great misfortune, when you started ISKCON, when you managed everything,
instructed the devotees, led kirtana yourself and cooked the prasadam. I am lamenting to be one of those
great souls who were always surrounding you.
I thank you from the core of my polluted heart for the opportunity to serve your murti and do a little
insignificant service unto your lotus feet.
Now, by your grace, I'm begging you to always use me in your service in any way you desire -- in success
or failure, honor or dishonor, happiness or distress; please, oh most merciful Srila Prabhupada, let me
never leave your lotus feet, because you are my only shelter and refuge.
Lalitha Sakhi Devi Dasi
Maha Laksmi Devi Dasi, Penang
Please accept my most respectful obeisances.
It's such a difficult endeavor to write you an offering. I am probably the most fallen soul on this planet. I
try everyday to overcome my laziness and at least to chant my rounds and do some of your readings. I
am still trying hard, but haven't managed to fully succeed.
I do not have enough words to thank you, as "thank you" is a very insignificant word for all your kind
efforts in bringing us closer to the Lotus Feet of Sri Krishna for without coming to this movement I
would never have appreciated what it means to love and serve Thakurji.
I'm begging you to always use me in your service in any way you desire -- in success or failure, honor or
dishonor, happiness or distress; please, Srila Prabhupada, let me never leave your lotus feet, because you
are my only shelter and refuge.

Please accept our humble obeisances at your lotus feet on this especially auspicious of your Vyasa Puja.
The ship of devotional service you build so expertly is able to take the whole world on board, and we
happily note that more and more people are taking shelter on this ship. As this ship moves toward the

All we can do is sincerely try to follow your orders and instructions from your books.

I thank you for being merciful to such a fallen and foolish soul like me. without your mercy , i would not

I'm too much in ignorance i'm still suffocating in this material world. I understand that there is no other
way for me to make spiritual advancement without surrendering unto your lotus feet, O master. Your
mercy is all i need to escape from this sinful world.
I beg to you to give me strength to fight the battle of birth and death. Please give me your mercy and
association not only in this birth but birth after birth.
I pray to you to give me more association of devotees so that i will always be attached to
ksrna consciousnesses and your lotus feet.

All glories to srila prabhupada his divine grace and only guru of iskcon. I joined iskcon in oct.1974 in
miami's coconut grove temple. It was a very distressful time in my life, i was seperated from my wife and
baby son. On february 25,1975 i met srila prabhupada personally when he came to visit miami temple. I
remember a black limousine, pulled in the temple and the chauffer opened the door and srila
prabhupada stepped out. And i immediately paid my dandavats, and offered my obeisances. When i
looked up srila prabhupada was smiling at me, and the other devotees. He had big lotus eyes, like i never
saw before and the entire universe was looking back at me. We had about 65 devotees at the temple at
that time as well as the radha-damodara buses and all the big-shot gbc's were there. They surrounded
him and took him away. I was still a new bhakta and when they asked for someone to wash his dinner
plates and transfer his remnants, i volunteered. As soon as his remnants came in i immedietlely. Stuffed
them in my mouth. Later that night my estranged wife showed up at the temple with my son, and asked
if i could watch him for a couple of days. So in this way both my son and i got darshan with srila
prabhupada. I came alone to the movement so they considered me a brahmacari, even though i had a
son. So there i was dressed in saffron, and holding a baby. The next day srila prabhupada was passing
out cookies after his lecture to all the visitors. When i stepped forward to get some prasada, srila
prabhupada looked at me and told abhirama the temple president"give to him". I thought he didn't like
me but now i know he was telling abhirama to give me permission to take my son with me. 2 days later
srila prabhupada left for atlanta ga. And me and my son went to gainesville fla. And then from there i
drove to l.a. and saw srila prabhupada again. L.a. ashram was for single men only so i went to san
francisco, and after a few months it was ratha yatra and srila prabhupada, was in town for lord
jagannath's ratha yatra. I could not live in the temple alone with a baby so i rented a room outside, i
returned to l.a. then new vrndavan and then back to miami where i was initiated on january 1976!
Exactly 11 months after first meeting him. Srila prabhupada was the outward-manifestation of supersoul
and he guided me and fulfilled all my desires from within as well as outside by his presence as guru and
spiritual master. My life has been a complete success, just following his simple and sublime instructions!
I am eternally indebted to you, although i am fallen

A struggle I knew if easy would guarantee nothing. I pray each day for my sufferings.... fill my heart with
love and knowing, with a longing to see again your face, so beautifully glowing.

I came to know Srila Prabhupada by seeing yours Bhagavat Gita as it is, when I was 10 years old, but Im
incapable to understand the content of Gita. At that age I was eager to know Krishna and I didnt get
chance until 25 years old. Before came to Krishna Consciousness, my life full off miseries. By your mercy
at age of 25 years old, I got touch with Krishna Consciousness then my life become meaningful.
By your mercy I did some deity services, the service which I was enjoy. But I dont know what offence I
did, right now I didnt get a chance to serve deities. I pray to your lotus feet, please engage me in Krishna
service all the time.
By your mercy I got a chance to stay in Vrindavan for few months. The life in Vrindavan was great
because I did some deity services and cook some dishes for your Vyasa Puja. By your mercy I also visited
many holy places in Bharata bumi.
By Prabhupad and Krishnas causeless mercy I have a son, named Abhay Caran was born on Prabhupada
disappearance day. I try my best to cultivate him in Krishna Consciousness and rest of his life please take
care and guide him. I leave him to Prabhupad to decide, to dedicate his life to Prabhupad mission.
I m trying to follow whatever instructions is given by Prabhupad, and I was disappointed because I m
unable to follow all your instructions. But Prabhupad are very much helpful in my spiritual
development. I am eager to serve Prabhupad, please give me a chance to serve better than now. I mean
forever.
Even though I didnt see Prabhupad in physical form, but I can realize your presents in my daily life. If
by your mercy I got a chance to Back To Godhead, Krishna loka. I would like meet Prabhupad first, then
Krishna.

I pay my humble obeisances to our Spiritual Master Srila Prabhupada on most auspicious day of his
appearance. You are immersed in depth vedic knowledge of Krishna Consciousness without which the
world would be ignorant and will be in the state of darkness about our aim/goal of our life. You are only
our hope in getting moksha or liberation from the three fold miseries in life as we are witnessing in the
past 5,000 years after Lord Krishna's disappearance. There will never such a divine Personality like You
will ever walk on this earth but who still lives in your books.
Dear Srila Prabhupada I pray to you to serve your desire from hereon eternally, and to be of some assistance
in the spreading of the unrivaled gift of the Hare Krishna maha mantra.

With the mercy of His Divine Grace Srila Prabhupada, I have found the solution for all my life long

fear, stress, distress etc, no more exist, even if they exist only in a small portion, which i have faith that
these problems will vanquish completely in future.
After discovering the treasure house of spritiual knowledge (ISKCON, founded by His Divine Grace Srila
Prabhupada), my life has completely turned into spiritual bliss full off knowledge. My constant endeavor
now is to serve the mission of Srila Prabhupada and to satisfy Srila Prabhupada.
After taking shelter from the lotus feet of Srila Prabhupada, i realized that there are so many fallen souls
who need His shelter and are waiting to serve His divine mission. My humble prayer is that The Supreme
Lord will reveal to me that fallen souls, so i can approach them directly and bring them to the right path
Srila Prabhupada has shown.

My day begins with the Hare krishna chant followed by reading of books written by Srila Prabhupada , I
very well enjoy it. It is said that we cannot advance in the spiritual path, without the association of
devotees. I was apprehensive about being able to even practice KC , then Prabhu told me about a simple
alternative if deprived of association to read SP books. In the initial days I just read books because
Prabhu had told me to do so, but gradually after around 15-20 days of practice I have realized that, I am
addicted to reading SP's books. I do not feel lonely anymore. As the day passes by, I feel that I met srila
Prabhupada in the morning. I had never thought that my life would change so much. I now have better
understanding of life and its purpose.I have personally realized this as the blessings from Prabhupada. I
now experience a change which would otherwise be not possible. Of course there are materialistic
pursuits which are not to be to taken seriously, as the purpose of reading SP books is to make ourselves
eligible for the mercy of lord and spiritual master, by chanting Hare Krishna and being happy.

I have known you from the depths of my heart,

As I wander in search of essence,
For I knew not what it was.
You are the radiance that dispelled,

As I bow humbly before you

Prabhupada, the person who always leaves a smile on my face when I hear his name... he has showered
his mercy upon me as if I deserve to lead a very very very very happy life... He held my hand firmly when
I was going through very bad phase of my life. He held my hand so firm that all my miseries in life
started taking back seat and those miseries lost all priorities in my life.
I can never pay back to Prabhupada... no matter how much I serve him,no matter what I do, I`ll always
owe him big. The spiritual master has re-defined my life. He gave me the purpose of my life which I
could never have understood without his help. I still ask myself a question why did Prabhupada show so
much mercy on me.? The only explaination for this question is that its unlimited mercy of Srila
Prabhupada-the spiritual master who made my life so beautiful..
Not only Prabhupada held my hand and showered his mercy on me, he is still showering his mercy upon
me. I already owe him so much and I cant repay back and still hes showing his mercy upon me.
Prabhupada is guiding me to lead a nice life and meaningful life; hes making me think better in life and
not only me, there are thousands and thousands of people who are leading a very happy life because of
his endless mercy.
Hes has been so courteous to me that he even gave this fallen soul an opportunity to write something
about great soul like himself. What can ever make me feel so special??
The thing I like the most about prabhupada is his SPIRITUAL VOICE which takes me to whole different
world in just no time, and of course his amazing books and teachings, BHAGAVAD GITA AS IT IS, the
science of SELF REALIZATION. I have found answers for so many problems in my life from his books. I
know I can never repay what Prabhupada has given me in my life but al that I can do is cherish his
mercy upon me through out my life.
There are so many things to be said but I have no words to define how he made my life so special. I
might never be able to express what I feel n how much I respect prabhupada ever in life. Its a feeling
which I cannot express, because no matter how much I glorify prabhupada its never enough. I thank
prabhupada for giving me this opportunity to write about him.
ALL GLORIES TO SRILA PRABHUPADA. Jai PRABHUPAD.
HARE KRISHNA.

I offer all my respectful obeisances unto the lotus feet of srila prabhupada and thus seeking his mercy I
present few words about prabhupada.
Srila Prabhupada is that vaisnava devotee of the lord who can fulfill the spiritual desires of everyone, just
like kalpavraksha or the desire trees and he is full of compassion for the fallen souls. As in material
VyasaPuja2011

world the teacher becomes very happy when his student is doing well, similarly Prabhupada feels happy
when the devotees advance in their krsna consciousness, and he would always like to see his family
growing and we as his disciples and also children should see that he is always satisfied, because if the
guru is satisfied then krsna is also satisfied. I have committed innumerable offences at the lotus feet of
prabhupada and always have been engrossed in material world. I beg forgiveness from Srila prabhupada
and I will always try to follow the instructions given by him.
We have not seen Krsna or Caitanya Mahaprabhu, but seeing Prabhupada gives the same result as seeing
Krsna as he is most dear to lord and is part and parcel of Krsna and non-different from him in
quality.Words cannot describe the glory of our spiritual master and he is our only saviour.

Hare Krishna,
I came to ISKCON Banglore during my M.Tech Ist year holidays. That is how I came to know about
ISKCON and Srila Prabhupada. Srila Prabhupada brought enormous transformation in my life. His
Divine Grace taught me how to lead a happy life and how to reach God i.e. back home back to Godhead.
On the order of Krishna, His Divine Grace came to material world to deliver conditioned souls of
kaliyuga. Srila Prabhupada, our spiritual master is as good as God and each word of His Divine Grace is
important. Srila Prabhupada is a miraculous personality and he came to deliver the conditioned souls in
kaliyuga by preaching all over the world about who is God and our connection with God and how to
love God.
I am very fortunate, that I met His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada in 2010.
His Divine Grace went to western countries in 1965 by taking so many difficulties and so much risk
being almost penniless in hand.Within twelve years His Divine Grace established 108 temples all over
the world and made 10,000 dedicated devotees. His Divine Grace traveled across the globe fourteen
times for the purpose of preaching Krishna Consciousness.
The movement of Krishna Consciousness is so beautiful that how much ever we will practice it, will
come with us even after death. One should have guru blessings to advance in Krishna Consciousness and
in becoming a pure devotee that I want too. I am begging at the lotus feet of His Divine Grace A.C.
Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada, please forgive me if I did offences at the feet of vaisnavas.
Srila Prabhupada ki jay.
Hare Krishna,
In the service at the lotus feet of Srila Prabhupada,

I am very much thankful to Srila Prabhupada for providing Srimad-Bhagavatam lecture, devotional
service and Krishna prasadam daily. By Prabhupadas mercy, along with the devotees I went to
piligrimage places(Dhams). It is very rare chance I got in this life. He has changed my consciousness
level.
Srila Prabhupada is the pure devotee. He is an extraordinary person who dedicated his life to teaching
the world about Krishna consciousness. He taught not only through his writings but by the example of
his life.
Thank you very much to Srila Prabhupada for providing spiritual practices in this Kali yuga.

devotee of lord.He has traveled all over the world to teach Krishna Consciousness on the order of his
VyasaPuja2011

spiritual master , he made his spiritual master order life and soul!! Thus he sanctified the whole world
by placing his lotus feet. He personally knocked the doors of dog eaters and made them Vaishnavas!!!
He is the perfect ideal person for every class of people..both material and spiritual class of people!!!
By his alchemical mantra ..HARE KRISHNA HARE KRISHNA / KRISHNA KRISHNA HARE HARE/HARE
RAMA HARE RAMA /RAMA RAMA HARE HARE he changed the hearts of most sinful person to most
elevated person!!! his glories are unlimited as his mercy!!! I came in touch with Prabhupad when a small
question was arisen in my mind , that is "what will happen after death??"
Miraculously i got a chance of reading his book without even knowing who he is!! But still it deeply
impressed me!! Later after few years due to his causeless mercy he came to a corner of the country where
i was living helplessly and rescued me from the darkest corners of life towards the brightest path where
there is not even a shadow of darkness !!! Full of light,bliss,truth and ananda !!!
now i dont find any thing worthy in this world to satisfy his Gurudakshina other than simply carrying
out his orders!!!
I sincerely pray to my beloved Spiritual master to please give me the strength to cleanse my heart and
carry out his orders.. which are the highest good for the entire world!!!

Hare Krishna! Srila Prabhupada is a well known name to all the intelligent class of men in this entire
creation. Fortunately, I also know his name. He is identified as godly person, and as spiritual master of
the ISKCON movement. He says, a spiritual master is the one who teaches by his own example. He
taught this and has spread the message of Krishna Consciousness all over the world.
The glories of a spiritual master is unlimited and his activities are godly. Srila Prabhupada, has a
genuine concern to the human civilization having fallen down to animal civilization. He taught the
purpose of human form of life and the way of life that leads to perfection. No one can completely
describe the action of the spiritual master. By his grace one will understand about him and his activities.
His writings are as good as sharp arrows that deplete ignorance. I myself have benefited a lot from his
writings. Now, I can tell anyone who is God, where He is present, what are His activities, and the
relation He has with all the living entities. Thus, I am in knowledge about the Complete Whole.
I am eternally indebted to Srila Prabhupada for his mercy upon me as no one can understand Sri
Krishna, the supreme personality without the grace of spiritual master and blessings of his pure
devotees.
I beg for his mercy always upon me, so that I will come to the stage of pure chanting of the holy name of

Sri Bhakivedantha Swami Srila Prabhupadaji having established the ISKCON has gives a right direction
to the devotees all over the world.
He had the firm conviction that this is the way he can show the right way to the mankind which is in
pursuit of material benefits which has no relevance. In a way he has saved the mankind which could not
find the right path in the entire life. Otherwise they would be teaching this blindly with art of finding
salvation. The entire mankind should submit their gratefulness to Srila Prabupadaji for his gift to
mankind. He has realized that the pursuit of physical pleasure is not what we should aim at rather its
the pleasure beyond the physical senses that we should aim at and that is Krishna consciousness. That
can lead us to the ultimate good. Prabupadaji was very clear about this and he was repeatedly
emphasizing that human being should not engage himself in pursuit of physical pleasure which is very
much temporary. Therefore Krishna consciousness should be the aim of every human being. Other wise
life will be just like animal life, we all should be grateful for that great Guru who is the ultimate path
finder and we all should march in the path shown by him

Let us pray for him and desire description of that great Guruji who gave us the benefit of Hare Krishna

Dear Spiritual Master,Please accept my respectful obeisances. it is with your blessings only, I could able
to contact to Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead. I never thought i would be chanting 16
rounds when I had started chanting a single round. I continue chanting even amidst of this miserable
material life. Your books, through which we could able to see you. Your words are so powerful and
meaningful. What I feel is, it is very difficult to sustain happily in this material world, since being a
conditioned soul. I feel much frustrated sometimes, because of the life in this world and sufferings. No
permanent happiness I could gain from here. My humble request to you is that please make me dearer to
Krishna life after life, to serve Him and Yourself more and more and in various ways as much as I can. I
wish to utilize all my energies for Krishna. Anyway, i could able to chant and read your books regularly
VyasaPuja2011

even in the midst of this busy material life. If i miss any of these, I feel some dissatisfaction for the entire
day. Finally, I request You to excuse me for the offenses committed knowingly or unknowingly and
make me not to repeat those if any.

Though i am not sufficient enough to talk about My SPIRITUAL MASTER, I am very glad to get this
opportunity through ISKCON Devotees. Srila Prabhupada and ISKCON Movement is no where differed.
As how much the ISKCON Movement got advanced, that much Srila Prabhupada will be happy. Srila
Prabhupada is THE PERFECT SPIRITUAL MASTER as he only knows how to enlighten people in
darkness with the spiritual light . One should be really blessed to be in contact with Srila Prabhupada
and ISKCON.
Before i came in contact with ISKCON Movement, i really did not know about krishna, as i thought he is
an incarnation of LORD VISHNU. Also i could not recognize the glories of LORD KRISHNA's past times.
After I came in contact with Prabhupada and ISKCON Movement, I know who GOD(KRISHNA) is ,
What are the Characteristic features(Qualities)of GOD. The purpose of this creation, sufferings of a
living being, Essence of Life to be fulfilled. Now, this is entirely a new phase of my life. I have seen
many videos of Srila Prabhupada, he never startled to any question. All his answers are Perfect,as i know
those are the direct words of Lord Krishna (So, obviously they are perfect) and the way he delivers with
examples is awesome. Can't even express in words. He is the real Inspiration,Spiritual Master for
everyone in this DUKHALAYAM. I am very fortunate to come in contact with Srila Prabhupada.
Prabhupada Please bless me to enhance my way to KRISHNA CONSCIOUSNESS. I should be back to
God Ahead, Abode, Brindavana, Spiritual Planet with your blessings . Because i know its not possible to
move a single step without your blessings. Somehow or other with great fortune, i came in contact with
IKSCON Movement. Now, with that fortune i want to move further. Please forgive me for all my
mistakes in the advancement of Krishna Conscious and towards Vaishnavas."
Jai Srila Prabhupada, Jai Krishna Balaram ,
All Glories to Srila Prabhupada.
Thanks for giving such a wonderful opportunity to express about Prabhupada.

The iskcon movement you started is now known to millions around the world, yet he himself remained
in the background, without personal ambition he worked humbly to spread Krishna consciousness,
devotional service to the supreme personality of godhead, yet this achievement and personal character
did not go unnoticed. The world leading scholars and religionists praised his unique contributions and
thousand grew to love him as their dear most friend and well wisher SRILA PRADHUPADA is offered
expressions of love by those whose lives he most deeply touched. Please bless me Srila Prabhapada to
advance in Krishna consciousness.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!!! O Master! Kindly accept the humble obeisances from this fallen
conditioned soul Today on the occasion of Your 115th birthday I, the most conditioned soul, want to
pay the homage unto Your Lotus Feet. Kindly accept it.Being away from You and Krsna is always the
cause of unhappiness and distress. As we human beings always have the little freedom of liberty and
most of the time we misuse it, which troubles us and others as well and then we criticize God of which
we have no idea whom we are criticizing?,why we are criticizing?, is it really sensible to criticize Him
who has fulfilled all our desires for the reason that we became envious of His Supremacy and desired to
imitate Him . But in return we couldn't gave anything to Him ,moreover we forgot the eternal
relationship with Him. But You the Ocean of mercy descends down to take all of us Back to Him. For
only this task You spent whole of Your life to make us sinless. O my beloved Spiritual Master ! Kindly
bestow some mercy upon me daily so that I can become Krsna conscious. Kindly give me the shade of
Your lotus feet. O Master ! Kindly give me the strength so that I can follow You and can execute services
unto the Lotus feet of Krsna. Kindly excuse me if I have committed any offense unto Your Lotus feet or
any other devotee. I am so conditioned that I can not make the difference between good and bad. Kindly
always direct me towards goodness. Kindly save me from committing sins.
I am so poor that I don't have anything to give You instead I am asking you to please always hold my
hand. Don't leave me. I don't have words to say the compassion and love You showed even to the most
sinful beings.You are giving the true gift to the all living entities which is Krsna-prema.
Thank You very much for appearing as our Spiritual Master to take all of us to Back to Home.
You the Founder Acharya of International Society of Krishna Consciousness will remain the Guru of
ISKCON forever ! Kindly be always with me, forever.
Thank You very much!!! Jai Srila Prabhupada !!!

Thank you Srila Prabhupada for showering your causeless mercy upon this insignificant soul who was
wandering in this universe birth after birth.You are the real spiritual master not only for me but for the
whole universe. You have descended directly from the spiritual world onto this material word to deliver
the conditioned souls like me.
You have given "deities" in the temple, you have given the "transcendental knowledge" in the form of
your books and lecture, you have given "prasadam", you have given "devotees association", you have
given "holy name" and so many things.
So i am begging from you to kindly give me an opportunity to serve at your lotus feet and provide me
strength to do it very nicely.

after few years due to his causeless mercy he came to a corner of the country where i was living
helplessly and rescued me from the darkest corners of life towards the brightest path where the is not
even a shadow of darkness !!! Full of light,bliss,truth and ananda !!now i dont find any thing worthy in

Consciousness movement and spreading it all over the world.You have shown the purpose of our
life,how to engage our senses in Krsna service,how to go back to godhead.

I am very fortunate that I came in touch with ISCON and got an opportunity to listen your great
deeds. Your words are so powerful that once anyone listen start realize it, think and follows your
instructions. Your voice is so sweet that whenever I listen your songs I feel very energize.
You have taught us to do relevant enquiries knowing about the god, the supreme personality of
godhead Krsna. You have realized our duties. You have destroyed the ignorance of mind and shown the
way to achieve Krsna prema. Reading your books, listening to your Shrimad Bhagwatam/Bhagwatgita
lectures, songs, gives so much knowledge, pleasure which one cant get by doing any other work. You
have realized us there is no other way than glorifying the name of the lord Krsna and chant Hare Krsna
Mahamantra.
I beg for your ,Lord chaitanya mercy to get association of your devotees, saintly persons so that I can
engage my senses in your service, chant Hare Krishna mahamantra daily,follow regulative principles and
achieve krsna prema. Hey Guruvarya please give me the power, thinking ability so that I can preach to
others about Krsna Consciousness. You are very merciful, if any mistakes from me please apologize them
and show me the correct way.
Finally I would like to say your name, glories spreads all over the world.

By the grace of Lord Krishna and Prabhupada I got the opportunity to serve as devotee in the temple. I
consider this as a great blessing.
There is no better way of living than being in Krishna consciousness and I pay my respect to the guru
who imparted this knowledge to me, through which leading my life with proper spiritual & devotional
attitude could be achieved, which would not be possible without an ultimate spiritual guide. I see that
guide and teacher in Srila Prabhupada.
It just been 4 years since I came to know about his teachings and it has changed my life in a positive way
by fallowing his teaching & ideology.
His explanation of Bhagvat Geeta & translation given in Bhagwata are very simple to understand for a
commoner like me.
Now chanting Hare Krishna Mantra has become a part of my daily routine that keeps me sane & makes
me control my fears & worries.

Hare Krishna.
This is a wonderful moment in my life as I got a chance to express my gratitude to Lord Krishna,
Acharya Srila Prabhupada and other Lord Krishnas disciples who helped me to transform my life into a
Utsav (festival).
At the outset, I want to thank Lord Krishna for giving me a chance to come a little closer to him. I feel
that my lifes mission is getting accomplished. Our beloved Acharya Srila Prabhupada was very Kind and
he gave Hare Krishna mantra to mankind and greatly simplified the procedures to pray the Lord.
Chanting Hare Krishna mantra helped me in the toughest times of my life. I am writing about a few
important incidents in my life so that others too can take to the chanting of this simple but very
powerful mantra and get benefited enormously.
I am a 43 years old lady with a Masters in Computer Engineering. From my 30th year onwards I had
experienced major changes in my life. Till then I did not do much of prayers and I had no connection
with Lord Krishna. As a young girl I was very career conscious and I had put in lot of hard work in
achieving a post graduation degree in computer Engineering. I was well placed in one of the top IT
consulting company.
After marriage initially I did suffer from lot of misunderstandings with my husband. I felt that my life
has become mechanical and full of tension as I was married with two little children to be taken care of.
Due to circumstances I became a nervous personality, always worried about the future, and used to feel
guilty thinking of my past. I was unable to live and enjoy the present, even if I am with closest relatives
or friends as my mind was preoccupied with all kinds of confusions. Consequently I was unable to cope
up with the workload in office and at home, finally had to quit my job. All this had terrible effect on my
health, I became anemic, was easily susceptible to weather changes with bronchitis, sinusitis etc. One
thing led to the other and I went into a depressed state. I had to take help from psychiatry and
counseling.
During the counseling days, on a particular day I did not feel like returning home, and wanted to sit
under a banyan tree and meditate like BUDHA. Instead of going home I went to a friends house. As I
narrated my state of mind, her father intervened and said O.K. fine. No, problem. You stay with us .
He has advised me that I should see one of their family friends, a lady and he was kind to call her to their
house immediately. She is Dr. Prabhu Anand ji. She is a devotee of Lord Krishna and a very good Reiki
healer. Normally, she is a very busy lady but that day she came immediately. She came smilingly to me
and her look was magnetic. She asked me to lie down and covered my eyes with her hands. I felt her
hands were warm and very caring. I felt like I got so much care that I never experienced before.
Immediately tears started flowing from my eyes and I poured out all my woes and whatever was
suppressed inside me.
VyasaPuja2011

I did not know how long it was, after she removed her hands from my forehead and I felt much better.
She told me to go home because everyone at home was worried. But I was not ready. She said I should
take my husband permission and return back to her. And, she also told that my husband will bring me to
her next time.
I returned home and narrated to my husband what has happened, next day both of us went to Dr.
Prabha Anand ji house to continue with her Reiki healing sessions. There are so many pictures of Lord
Krishna hanging on the walls. There is quietness and peacefulness around the house and its
surroundings. Dr. Prabha Anand ji is a very kind and friendly lady. As a part of Reiki treatment she used
to talk to me and counsel me. And she suggested that I should chant Hare Krishna mantra everyday as
much as I can which will help improve my condition faster. I started chanting Hare Krishna mantra
daily. Slowly I developed love for Lord Krishna and I was out of the depressed state in the course of next
few months.
Once I was out of my depression I stopped chanting as I was not happy with the quality of my life
condition. But somehow my feelings for Lord Krishna increased. I used to go to ISKCON temple
periodically. Even now I cant understand why I love Krishna so much and what this connection is.
After some years our family shifted to another place. My kids are grown up. Busy with their classes and
they like to be independent. Husband is busy with his work. I was just alone whole day. So, the
depression started again. Once again I started chanting Hare Krishna mantra. It was not effective. I was
surprised why it is not working.
At that time, out of blue one day a ISKCON devotee visited my house. The devotee talked to me for a
long time and reminded me of Lord Krishna and told me about Lord Krishna temple in this city and
guided me how to do chanting. I found my answers and started going to the ISKCON temple as I had
plenty of free time. I started chanting 16 rounds of Hare Krishna mantra a day. Slowly, my problems
reduced. After that I got a job and I started working. Once again due to job and some insincerity (I can
say) I reduced the number of rounds. But I continued going to the temple and taking Prasad. I listen to
lectures by devotees and read some of the books written by Acharya Srila Prabhupada ji. I feel that my
bonding with Lord Krishna improved and so did my health.
I would like to narrate one more recent incident. My son was studying in Class 12
th
and was preparing
for various Engineering Entrance Exams including IIT JEE. He was away staying in a hostel in a different
city. It was tough going for my son due to poor hostel environment and tough studies. My son was first
time out of house staying in hostel and facing the situations alone. Whenever I neglected my chanting
Hare Krishna mantra, my husband used to remind me not to neglect because that helps the whole
family and especially my son who was away. I realized that Chanting is one way we can get strength to
stand up and fight in tough situations. I used to pray Lord Krishna to help my son.
Once it so happened that my son fell from a running bus by losing balance. There were big stones on
that side of the road and there was heavy traffic too. Fortunately and by the grace of the Lord my son
escaped with only minor injuries. I am forever thankful to Lord Krishna for this.
Later, I went to stay with my son for last six months before his Class 12 and Engineering Entrance
Exams to support him. This is first time in 20 odd years of my marriage I stayed away from my husband
which I felt I will not be able cope up but I had no option. It was a tough time but I could manage the
six months happily. I strongly feel I am blessed with the kindness and grace of Lord Krishna. I used to
hear in my mind a melodious voice talking so sweetly and caringly and I could see Lord Krishna playing
a flute with a smile and looking at me. While I was with my son I attended music classes to learn singing
Bhajans of Lord Krishna, Lord Vishnu and Lord Venkateswara. I enjoyed the Bhajan singing sessions and
that experience was unique in my life.
Now, I feel I am so much attached to Lord Krishna, I feel He is always with me holding my hand and
taking me on the correct path which can lead to Him. I consider whatever work I am doing is a task
VyasaPuja2011

given to me by Lord Krishna and do my work thinking that it is a service to Lord Krishna. I believe all
this is the effect of chanting Hare Krishna mantra and visiting the Lord Krishnas temple regularly.
I am confident that slowly but surely ones thoughts and behavior changes not only at conscious level
but also at subconscious level. Pure devotion and dedication pays rich dividends. There is chaos and
turmoil all around, times are changing rapidly. Life is tough and challenging. To live life full and enjoy it
as Lords gift one needs to be strong enough to overcome various hurdles with ease. Simplest way to
achieve this is to Chant Hare Krishna mantra regularly and do some service under the guidance of
Dasas / Devotees of ISKCON foundation.
If my story can inspire at least one person, my mission is accomplished.
May the Kindness of Lord Krishna shower on all of you, I take leave.

Kindly accept my humble obeisance from this insignificant servant Narakesari Dasa.
Srila Prabhupad, All glories to you, the most magnanimous and most magnificent Spiritual Master of all
times.Just by your causeless mercy and untiring efforts, this planet is benefited by the true spiritual
values and practices. By your mercy those fortunate souls who come in touch with you will be blessed by
the most valuable treasure of Krishna Consciousness.
Srila Prabhupad, because of your mercy, in this life time itself we are blessed to know the value and
purpose of human life. Thank you very much.
But for you mercy, we would have been deprived of even knowing the great spiritual leaders of our
Parampara and even the Supreme Lord Sri Krishna, and most importantly Sri Chaitanya Maha Prabhu
and the Maha Mantra.
By your mercy only we were fortunate to follow the four regulative principles and Chant at least 16
rounds of Hare Krishna Mahamantra and be in contact with Sri Krishna so easily which otherwise would
have been impossible for millions of life times.
Srila Prabhupad, by your mercy we were blessed to come in contact with so many great transcendental
literatures like Bhagavad Gita, Srimad Bhagavatam, Chaitanya Charitamrita, Brahma Samhita etc, which
are like touch stones capable of removing all the material contaminations and take us back home, back
to Godhead.
Srila Prabhupad, only by your mercy we are blessed to know the real transcendental knowledge in the
language which we know and in such simple style you have given us, and gave us the opportunity to
take maximum advantage of this most precious human life.
Only by your mercy, Srila Prabhupad, we are blessed to apply Gopi Chandana, wear Tulasi kanti mala,
Chant Hare Krishna Maha Mantra using Tulasi Mala, worship the Supreme Lord and his Pure Devotees,
follow the regulative principles, worship Tulasi mata, associate with the devotees, hear Srimad
Bhagavatham and Bhagavad Gita, visit Holy Places, serve the Lord with great devotion.
Even though we are very very fallen and sinful, you were so kind to bestow all the mercy towards us and
save us from the most abominable condition of life and gave us new and blissful life. Only by your mercy
we were made part of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu's Sankirtan Party members.
Srila Prabhupad, we are fully indebted to you life after life. Kindly use us the way you need us to fulfill
your glorious mission so that like how Sri Ramachandra could take even the monkeys who participated
in supporting his cause to fight against Ravana, to his spiritual abode, we can also go back to God Head
and serve the Supreme Lord Sri Krishna in his own abode, Goloka Vrindavana in our pure original
consciousness happily and blissfully everafter.

Srimad Bhagavatam enjoins that The Supreme Lord out of His loving compassion reveals Himself as the
spiritual master and guides a sincere soul seeking Him. It is worthwhile to take shelter of such a steady
VyasaPuja2011

devotee, who is called asraya-vigraha, or the manifestation or form of the Lord of whom one must take
shelter of. The Acharya is also described as sarva deva mayo guruh- the representative of all the
demigods. Certainly it is no small thing that we have come in touch with a bona fide spiritual master like
Srila Prabhupada considering the enumeration of the gurus and swamis mushrooming worldwide-
promising stress control, money and salvation-among other things. Certainly it is bewildering for a
novice to discern the enlightened from the ignoble. Only by the causeless mercy of a pure devotee can
one understand Krishna.
It was almost the same time last year when I was blessed with the opportunity to stay in a FOLK Hostel-
a transition for which I was fervently praying from aeon. You have given me a glimpse of the Vaishnava
lifestyle -attending Mangal Arati, hearing Srimad Bhagavatam and chanting in the association of devotees
on a daily basis. I sincerely pray to Your Lotus Feet to give me the strength to utilize these spiritual
luxuries and advance in Krishna Consciousness.Srila Prabhupada, please engage me in spreading Your
glorious movement, which is the only hope for baddha-jivas. Please take care of weaklings like Myself
and protect my komala sraddha. Please give me the determination to follow the four regulative principles
strictly and to conduct the dealings with the Vaishnavas without any offenses. Last but not the least, I
pray to You to endow Your disciples the strength to uphold Your position as the sole diksha guru in
ISKCON thereby restoring the glory and resplendence of Your movement.

First I offer my obeisances to his Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada who established
ISKCON at the age of 70. If you had not established this society by facing so many difficulties, then we
would not have been able to get the opportunity to serve the Supreme Person i.e; none other than "Sri
Krishna".
I offer my obeisances again and again to his Divine Grace A.C.Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada who
always inspired by saying "By Surrendering to krishna, maya will not bother with your business, If not
maya will trouble you so long you do not go in the jurisdiction of Krishna". To come under the
jurisdiction of Krishna and to get relief from maya, a spiritual master like is absolute necessary.
Your divine words can awaken ones domant Krishna consciousness.

On this Vyasa Puja day of yours, I pray to you to give me opportunity to serve Lord Krishna more and
more and also to concentrate more on chanting Maha Mantra given by Chaitanya Mahaprabhu.
Hare Krishna.

Srila Prabhupada,
I just read your Vyasa Puja Offering made at Sri Gaudiya Math in Bombay, in February 1935, on the
appearance anniversary of His Divine Grace Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Gosvami Prabhupada. Your
Divine Grace rendered the following passages during the course of your heartfelt offering.
The acaryadeva to whom we have assembled tonight to offer our humble homage is not the guru of a
sectarian institution or one out of many differing exponents of the truth. On the contrary, he is the
jagad-guru, or the guru of all of us, the only difference is that some obey him wholeheartedly, while
others do not obey him directly.
VyasaPuja2011

Gentlemen, our knowledge is so poor, our senses are so imperfect, and our sources are so limited that it
is not possible for us to have even the slightest knowledge of the absolute region without surrendering
ourselves at the lotus feet of Sri Vyasadeva or his bona fide representative. Every moment we are being
deceived by the knowledge of our direct perception. It is all the creation or concoction of the mind,
which is always deceiving, changing and flickering. We cannot know anything of the transcendental
region by our limited, perverted method of observation and experiment. But all of us can lend our eager
ears for the aural reception of the transcendental sound transmitted from that region to this, through the
unadulterated medium of sri gurudeva or Sri Vyasadeva. Therefore, gentlemen, we should surrender
ourselves today at the feet of the representative of Sri Vyasadeva for the elimination of all our differences
bred by our unsubmissive attitude.
The plain truth so vividly explained in the Gita, which is the central lesson of the Vedas, is to
understood or even suspected by the most powerful scholars of the empiric schools. Herein lies the
secret of Sri Vyasa Puja. When we meditate on the transcendental pastimes of the Absolute Godhead, we
are proud to feel that we are His eternal servitors, and we become jubilant and dance with joy. All glory
to my divine master, for it is he who has out of his unceasing flow of mercy stirred up within us such a
movement of eternal existence. Let us bow down at his lotus feet.
Gentlemen, had he not appeared before us to deliver us from the thralldom of this gross, worldly
delusion, surely we should have remained for lives and ages in the darkness of helpless captivity. Had he
not appeared before us, we would not have been able to understand the eternal truth of the sublime
teaching of Lord Caitanya.
My spiritual life though lacking in steadiness is always rescued from the danger of total oblivion by your
lion hearted words which have been preserved as lecture archives. Listening to your voice alone brings
forth the necessary fortitude to push on at my spiritual goals. I hope to never loose your association in
this life and forevermore. Though I have not contributed to your movement in any major way, I beg to
submit this offering and to remain a recipient of your mercy.
Your wonderful spiritual sons Sri Rasika Shekara Dasa and Sri Charu Krishna Das have kindly reminded
me of this wonderful opportunity to express my gratitude toward your Divine Grace.
hoping to be your servant,
Bhakta Aravind

Dear Guru Prabhupada,
Before coming to ISKCON, I had heard very little about Lord Krishna.
After coming to ISKCON and reading your books, I came to know the transcendental position of Lord
Krishna. With your kind mercy I have been learning to practice the principles of Krishna consciousness
sincerely.
Day by day I am trying to improve by consciousness spiritually by reading your books BG and
Bhagavatham. By trying to follow your instructions has enabled me to lead a happy life.
Please continue to shower your mercy upon me till the end,
Want to be your obedient student
Bhakta Arun Chandra.B
Bhakta Basavaraju M N
I would like to thank His divine grace Srila Prabhupada to whom I remain grateful for all his teachings
about Vedic scriptures, religion, life, and god and several other untold and untaught lessons of life.
His life and works helped millions around the world to understand the deeper wisdom of life, purpose of
their life and find peace of mind. Born to achieve greatness, Prabhupada met his goal in a span of 12
VyasaPuja2011

years and established 108 Krishna temples across the globe. Without a doubt, Srila prabhupada was a
miracle and proved that one man can really make a change.
It is through his establishment of ISKCON that I came in contact with several righteous people I
probably wouldnt meet otherwise, who enlightened and helped me understand the deeper wisdom of
life. It was that one wise decision of accepting ISKCONs invitation and attending folk classes that
pushed me to thinking about the science of the soul which I probably wouldnt otherwise.
I used to be an atheist and never believed in god. I did not pray to god during my tough times. Living
that way made me feel that Im independent and strong and praying and fearing god who did not exist in
thoughts would make me weak. I thought as far as I am not hurting anyone and helping the needy, Im
leading life the right way.
In the year of 2007, after getting good rank in CET, I joined an engineering college. During my first
semester, few devotees of ISKCON provided us free passes to all the college students to the FOCUS
program conducted by them. After attending that program, I started attending FOLK classes at ISKCON.
Even though I did not believe in god, I followed their instructions and started to chant Hare Krishna
maha mantra everyday. Gradually, I realised there are several questions in life can be answered if I
thought god did not exist.
Although science was my forte, science does not have answers to everything that are happening in the
universe. Several scientists who said there is no god, never proved their theories. Their statements like
someday we will able to create life through chemicals, seems to be an empty promise. Years of such
research has gone in vain. Like a wise man has correctly put last step of science is philosophy. Science
students all over the world accept the existence of atoms, protons, nucleus, and electrons though they
havent seen them through their eyes. Yet we dont like to believe in the existence of god just because
there is no tangible evidence for our materialistic senses.
There are several questions that science does not answer. There are certain questions that we dont
answer like what is the purpose of life?, why are some people born rich while others poor?, Why
are some people beautiful while some people ugly?, is it because of luck?, Why is there always
something or the other thing missing in everyones life?, Why do some always get things easily and
some peoples long lifetime effort go in vain?, Why some people are healthy while many suffer for
minor illness?, why are some people born with physical mental disabilities while rest are normal?.
After attending FOLK classes I understood that life is a blessing. The soul dwelling in our hearts is a part
and parcel of Lord Krishna. Life is more than just cells, tissues and organs working together.
I conquered all my fears, I conquered the largest empire but to conquer the whole world, my life is too
short were the last words of Genghis Khan, the most successful military commander the world has ever
known. The most brutal dictator of the world, Adolf Hitler, committed suicide when he came to know
he fell for his own traps. One of the greatest emperors of the world, Alexander ordered his servants to
have his hands widely spread when his body is placed in the coffin after his death so as to show the
world that in spite of all his riches, all the wealth and all his victories, he left the world emptied. The
worlds strongest man Hercules faced his death.
The above instances simply mean that man can never rule the world, nor control it, nor conquer it and
those who tried, failed miserably. Though man is the dominant and the most developed animal on the
planet, he can never stop natural calamities from occurring even to this day, we could never invent a
time machine to travel through time (recent reports have confirmed that time-travel is an impossible
ideal), we could never do something that make eternal living. This should certainly mean that there is a
higher power above all our power put together that is superior to us, controlling us.
This super natural power is god who is worshipped in different names by people in different parts of the
world. God is not unfair with what are given and what are taken away from us, what we have in our life
today or what we miss is a result of our Karmas( actions) in our past life. We are bound to go through a
VyasaPuja2011

cycles of births and death until our actions are sacrilegious. Once we realise our true-self, believe in
supreme lord and steadily chant his holy name, well find salvation.

It was in the year 2005, I paid a casual visit to ISKCON temple in Mysore. After seeing the activities at
the temple, I started visiting the same regularly. Now visiting temple and participating in the temple
activities has become the part and parcel of my life.
Dear Srila Prabhupada, the sankirtan movement introduced by Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu to this
Kaliyuga is very powerful & enjoyable. I do positively attend the sankirtan programme whenever it is
arranged in the temple or by the devotees in their houses. I would love to participate in the sankirtan
because it involves singing and dancing. Whenever I find time after my days routine, I visit temple & try
to do as much service as possible, like serving Krishna prasadam to devotees.
Through your Krishna consciousness movement, a person who was deeply engaged in material life has
to some extent started chanting holy name of the lord, worship Krishna, sing bhajans and partake
prasadam.
For the last 5to 6 yrs, I have been distributing your books which are your great contribution to the
world. I made me as an instrument to bring some of my friends to the temple and making them Krishna
conscious.
Overall a useless life has changed to some extent after following your principles. I still request you to
give me lot of strength to fully get myself involved in Krishna conscious movement and chant the holy
name of lord nicely. Finally I will end by writing the mahamantra. Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna
Krishna Hare Hare, Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare, which is a ticket given by you freely
to enter into the spiritual world.

Bhakta Divakaran P
Srila Prabhupada, before coming to ISKCON, I was totally in darkness being unware about the Supreme
Lord and His creation of this material world. Because of your causeless mercy only, I was able to
understand why I got this human form of life and what a human being must do. This human form of life
has its meaning only when one knows who God is, and what his primary duty is.
Srila Prabhupada, you have taught us that being a human being one must render devotional service to
Guru and to Sri Krishna, the Supreme Lord in order to achieve perfection in life. Before coming in
contact with ISKCON, I was completely ignorant about my duty and had that I am this body and
material sense enjoyment was everything.
Srila Prabhupada, you have opened my darkened eyes with knowledge that I am not this body, I am
spirit soul. Srila Prabhupada, you have taken so much trouble and pain to preach the message of Sri
Krishna to the conditioned souls of the western world on the order of your Guru Maharaj.
Srila Prabhupada, you have taught about the devotional service, engaging oneself from early morning till
night in Krishnas service. On this auspicious day of your appearance, I beg at your lotus feet to forgive
me the offenses I have committed and engage in the service of the supreme lord. I beg at your lotus feet
to increase my devotion for Krishna and keep me at your lotus feet.
All glories to Sri Guru and Gauranga.
Yours significant servant

To the lotus feet of my spiritual master His divine grace Bhakti Vedanta Swamy Prabhupada Ki Jai,
One day with the help of my mom I came to ISKCONs culture camp when I was in 7th standard. I
heard the teachings of yours . Surprisingly I was very happy to come to ISKCON & enjoying the life. I
came to know there is some other enjoyment than what I thought. I decided to know what real
enjoyment is. By attended SOS classes, I came to know that reaching the feet of lord Krishna is the real
enjoyment.
According to the teachings, I tried to follow the rules. I feel very happy by rendering few services at
temple.
I left all the above partial enjoyments now I am a soul with a body trying to please the god. I am coming
regularly to temple. By listening your teachings and learning some principles of Krishna Consciousness
I am experiencing the real happiness.
My spiritual master Srila Prabhupada, this all because of you who had showed me the way to have the
real happiness. You had showed me the correct goal. Thank you very much for enlightening me.
My heart full thanks to you.
His Divine grace A.C. Bhakti Vedanta Swamy Prabhupada Ki Jay.
Your servant,

I have been coming to temple for the past 4 long years. I still remember the first day in ISKCON with my
mother just came to see what exactly is ISKCON all about. At that time SANKIRTAN was going on in
VyasaPuja2011

full flow. Without my knowledge Istarted to shake my legs around, even till now i experience the same
enthusiasm and same taste in SANKIRTAN. My personal view is that there is nothing on this earth
which will give more happiness to mankind than SANKIRTAN. I am very happy to be in contact with
ISKCON.
Thanks to you Prabhupad for giving this experience to me. And i never knew that i would be so much
into ISKCON that even my parents wont be able to stop me from going. It is like getting addicted to
something, but this addiction is good after all.
From the day I am coming to temple I am a very changed person, i can feel that. If you were not there
Prabhupad , at my difficult times i never knew what i could've been.
Thank you Prabhupad, for all the things which you've given me. Hope that same mercy will be there in
the future as well. Thanks for letting me write a few words about you Prabhupad.
Your Sankirtan Servant

Dear Srila Prabupada,
I offer my respectful obesiances unto your lotusfeet.
Youre the one and only Spiritual Master who can deliver the fallen conditioned soul from this mire of
material world.
I take refuge in you because there is no other way, Srila Prabhupad. Day by day it is becoming very hard
to be in Krishna Conscious, due to the ongoing battle between our own god brothers and the whole
world is watching it. Now I hope it is your wish only that let the Supreme Lord only decide the future
course. But , I can only accept you alone as the Spiritual Master because there is no one in the world
who is capable of taking your position.
Please guide me to save myself from mayas influence and give me the sufficient strength to face all the
difficulties without hampering my Krishna Conscious practice. Until my last breath, let me some how be
in your movement and always take the association of the devotees.
Srila Prabupada , knowingly Or unknowingly I have committed so many mistakes. Please forgive me.
Youre the only shelter in this abode who is so merciful. Birth after birth I take shelter of your lotus feet.
Your servant of servant,
Bhakta Girish K.
Bhakta Girish M
Srila Prabhupada,
Please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet. All glories to you, Srila Prabhupada.
Personally, I dont have any qualification. But, still you are so merciful that you have given me a chance
to glorify Krishnas holy name. Earlier I was not giving any respect to any saintly persons. But today, I
could able to recognize who really is a saintly person and how to respect him.
Once I went to Melkote for Vairamudi festival. There I got one book SSR and that one book gave me a
real direction to my life. Then I started coming to ISKCON temple in the year Feburary 2002. Attending
every Sunday Sankirtan, Bhagavatam classes then Philosophical discussion and finally Prasadam - all
these activities have attracted me and I got a feeling that this is my actual life. By the grace of your
mercy, I got inspired and developed a desire to serve your mission. I am getting many opportunities to
render services unto you and I am learning how to render them in Krishna consciousness.
Your books have got all the power to make one as a devotee of Lord Krishna. Your books are just like
touchstones, whoever reads your book definitely they will become a devotee of lord Krishna, but only
matter of time. Your true followers are giving right awareness about your true transcendental position.
No one can take your position. In ISKCON, you are the only Acharya.
VyasaPuja2011

In your lectures, lot of wonderful reasoning and logical analogies are given. Through that knowledge,
one can understand perfectly about self and Supreme Lord Krishna.
Mother can give protection to her child only for nine months but Guru will protect child life after life. By
your mercy, I have accepted you whole heartedly as my Master birth after birth. My only prayer is that,
you shall make me to serve your movement as long you wish and make me fit candidate and finally you
take me to eternal world Goloka Vrindavana.
Your servant,
Bhakta Girish M

Hare Krishna
O! My dear master please accept my humble obeisance unto your lotus feet.
All glories to you Srila Prabhupad. I feel totally unqualified to write an offering to you. How can the
lowest personality like me can glorify highest personality like you. Gurudev without you I would be
cycling continuously through birth & death. Without your mercy I cant even chant Hare Krishna
mahamantra.
I was in the darkness of material world Prabhupad you showed me the right way of life. Even a dull
brained fools like me could understand your teachings. O! best friend of all jivas, I have committed a
great offence at you. Please pardon me for all my offences.
I am so fortunate that I came to ISKCON and got the mercy of yours. I understood the real fact of life.
And I could make out the difference between material and spiritual worlds. I wish to thank you for the
immeasurable mercy that you have shown me. I pray to you for the realization of this mercy. I pray for
forgiveness of my indolent behavior and repeated offences. I deeply pray to you to forcefully take me
away from the danger of material life. Srila Prabhupada, on this most auspicious day of your appearance
I fall at your feet again and again begging for your mercy so that I may be able to serve you birth after
birth.
Your fallen servant
Bhakta Hari Raju.M
Bhakta Jaisimha
I offer my respectful obeisances unto my beloved spiritual master who has opened my eyes, blinded by
the darkness of ignorance, with the torch light of knowledge. Please accept my humble obeisances &
kindly forgive offences. All glories to you.
On this blessed event ie., 115
th
appearance day of my Guru Maharaj(vyasa puja), Im filled with a sense
of gratitude & wonder. I cannot imagine where my life would be today, if you had not appeared &
blessed us all with your divine benediction. Im completely unworthy, & most fallen, therefore by
showing your mercy, your mercy is most successful. For you are PATITA-PAVANA, the savior of the
fallen souls, & no one is more fallen than me!! Ive no good qualities, born of low birth, without good
intelligience, everything. Im a fallen soul, desiring only for your causeless mercy to be bestowed upon
me.
It is that you have successfully distributed the message of Lord Krishna through out the world & you
have showed or perfectly displayed 26 qualities of a pure devotee. No one can match or never think of
matching to you. Qualities like Merciful, Magnanimous, Surrender etc. where you have showed as the
eternal Guru of Mine.
VyasaPuja2011

Your tremendous contribution to the world cannot be repaid & particularly your books are eternal. You
are the great spiritual Ambassador to the human society who has a mission of uplifting one from
ignorance, & to make them by bringing nearer to god.
By your mercy Lord Krishna may I never again fall, but continue my spiritual Journey without any
disturbance. Please accept my loving gratitude at your lotus feet which are my only shelter. You are my
eternal savior, protector, teacher, father, master. Please allow me to serve you life after life.
I would like to offer my infinite obeisances to you & to pray lord on this auspicious day to bestow upon
me blessings, so that with the association of devotees. Ananta koti Vaishnava Vrind ki jai.
Lastly, on this day I have come with this offering just to worship you, remembering your lotus feet.
Thank you,
Begging to remain forever in your service

Bhakta Koushik
Hare Krishna,
I got introduced to ISKCON through ART OF MIND CONTROL programme.
By attending this one session really changed my life. Came to know how you untiringly spread the
glories of Lord Krishnas teachings and made everyone to accept Krishna, as the Supreme Personality of
Godhead.
I started chanting Hare Krishna mantra and find real peace and happiness by it. It has really improved
my life better.
I am really indebted to you for bringing this marvelous change in my life and I intend to dedicate my life
to serve Supreme Lord Krishna through out my life. Please bless me to make this come true.
Your servant,
Bhakta Koushilk
Bhakta Kushal Aradhya R
I am very glad that i came in contact with ISKCON which brought me a tremendous change in my life. I
am very thankful to you for giving me a chance to be a part of your movement and from your books a lot
of doubts are cleared. Now I started to feel that i am approaching the absolute truth KRISHNA.
Just by following your instructions, especially chanting everyday, many of my weakness were mitigated
and spiritual strength to face the challenges manifested. I found a lot of improvement in my acedemics
also. My behavior and my concentration have improved and many more.
Please have mercy on me and help me to be more Krishna Conscious.
Your's aspiring servant

Jaya Srila Prabhupada!!
Srila Prabhupada You are the only spiritual master for the entire universe. Its by your causeless mercy
that we are getting to associate with Krishna through His Holy Name. I cannot imagine how the world
would have been without you. Its by Your causeless mercy that we are able to get a glimpse of an
experience of how Vaikunta will be in the ISKCON temple You have given us. My every visit to temple
has always been and will be a source of inspiration for me to pursue spiritual life. They say that Krishnas
VyasaPuja2011

direct service is very tough to get but everybody is getting an opportunity to do direct service to Him in
the temple and its all because of Your causeless mercy.
I was wandering here and there to different spiritual organizations but by Your causeless mercy I was
able to come in touch with Krishna Consciousness movement. Its the chanting experience that You gave
and Your books that I read which smashed all the ideas that other spiritual organizations were
preaching. Since the time I came in touch with ISKCON my life has completely changed. I have deepest
gratitude to You Srila Prabhupada which I dont know how to repay. I also find that repayment for what
you have given me is not possible because You have given Krishna through His Holy name, and nothing
can be equal to Him. So Im totally indebted and will always remain indebted to You.
I beg for your mercy for advancing in Krishna Consciousness. Many times I find myself struggling
against mayas force so I ask for your blessings to overcome Maya. I beg for your forgiveness if I have
committed any mistakes, knowingly or unknowingly.
Fallen Soul,
Bhakta J Lakshman
Bhakta Madan
I offer my respectful obeisances unto the lotus feet of my spiritual master Srila Prabhupada.
Since the time you started this Krishna Conscious moment millions of souls have got benefited all
around the world. Fortunate are those who have taken shelter of you through Srila Prabhupadas
ISKCON. Much more fortunate are those who get opportunity to serve your mission directly under
your guidance. And Im very happy to be one among those fortunate souls.
Irrespective of the material conditioning of a living being, you have always distributed your causeless
mercy and the message of the Lord Krishna equally to everyone.
Since the time I have taken up Krishna Consciousness I have always got constant guidance to deal with
my lifes most pressing obstacles from your books and from your pure disciples. Though Im spiritually
very weak and deaf to spiritual matters, you have always given great attention and care towards the
progress of my spiritual life.
Every instruction and every word of yours is so potent that it has raised a totally ignorant person like me
to sanity. It has helped me to understand the ultimate purpose of life and my eternal relationship with
Lord Krishna as His eternal servitor.
Had if you have not saved me, I would have made my pathway to the darkest regions of hell. You have
saved me from the corporate slavery and lifted me to the position of serving your mission. Though Im
not eligible in any sense you have given me the opportunity to take shelter in one of your abode,
ISKCON Mysore. Who could have possibly been so merciful in this world if not you?
Inspite of all my inadequacies, faults and frequent offenses you still continue to be affectionate towards
me. Inspite of all those straightforward instructions and favorable environment you provided to me I still
havent made any spiritual progress due to my weak determination. I beg you to give me strength.
You have certainly given us the success formula of going back to Godhead by rising early in the
morning, attending mangala arati, reading Bagavad Gita & Srimad Bagavatam, sankirtana etc. but I have
always failed to follow due to procrastination.
When will I follow your instructions strictly? When will I chant my rounds attentively? When will I
surrender to you wholly and serve you with reverence? When will this unworthy person develop love
towards Lord Krishna?
It is only your unconditional love that is still protecting me from all the miseries of life. And in return
there is nothing that this conditioned soul can offer to please you.
Bhakta Madan.

My Dear Spiritual Master,
In Kali Yuga this powerful Maha Mantra effected on me in all my field.
Your appearance to this world and meeting your spiritual master Bhakti Siddhantha Saraswathi Thakur
and taking his instruction to preach the message of Lord Krishna through out the world is really
appreciable by everyone.
If I had not come to ISKCON temple, then I would have had to take many births by undergoing the
tribulations of material world.
Srila Prabhupada
You wrote a commentary on the Bhagavad Gita As it is in line with the parampara which has changed
my life completely
Without assistance started as English fortnightly magazine BACK TO GODHEAD, edited it, typed the
manuscripts & checked the galley proofs. Once begun, the magazine never stopped, it is now being
continued by his disciples in west.
Recognising philosophical learning & devotion, the Gaudiya vaishnava society honoured with the title
Bhaktivedanta.
Travelled to the holy city of Vrindavana, where you lived in very humble circumstances in the historic
medieval temple of Radha Damodara.
In 1965, when you first arrived New York city, you were practically penniless. It was after almost a year
of great difficulty you established ISKCON.
Under careful guidance the society has grown to a world wide confederation of almost hundreds
ashrams, schools, temples & farm communities.
Initially I wanted to become a servant of Krishna. But, by your glorious deed I want to become the
servant of the servant of the servant of the Lord Krishna.
By your grace, I came to know that Lord Krishna is the father of all the living entities.
Very greatful to you for having enlightened me.
Yours loving servant trying to be faithful

One day I attended a session at ISKCON along with my friend. This opened up my eyes to understand
what actually ISKCON is all about.
Earlier I was thinking that ISKCON is just only a temple. But, by attending the session and hearing your
unparallel effort to spread the teachings of Lord Krishna melted my heart and a glimpse of your very self
was introduced to me.
Now, I am attending the programmes regularly and trying to incorporate the principles taught by you. I
am feeling very glad to be a part of ISKCON wherein I am deriving immense pleasure by taking
prasadam and participating in Sankirtan.
I deeply thank you very much for giving these two tools for me to take spiritual pleasure and forget the
so called pleasures of this mundane world.
Please bless me to be a part of his movement throughout my life,
His Divine grace A.C. Bhakti Vedanta Swamy Prabhupada Ki Jay.
Your servant, Bhakta Manjesh

Namah om Vishnu padaya Krishna prestaya bhutalesrimate bhakti Vedanta svamin iti namine
Namaste sarasvate deve gaura vani pracarinenirvisesa sunyavadi paschatya desa tarine

The most venerable and most exalted Srila Prabhupada, please accept my obeisances your lotus feet.
This is my first offering and is a sincere effort to pay homage to your divine grace. By a neophyte devotee
of Krishna.
When I bought the book science of self realization which was the first book I read of your, reading the
editors suggestion, that the reader could start reading from any chapter that seemed interesting, I started
VyasaPuja2011

with the chapter returning to the eternal knowledge and the first unit in that was Srila Prabhupada
arrives to America. And these are the prayers you offered to the lord Krishna that impressed me a lot.
.. oh! Lord, I am just like a puppet in your hands. So, if you have brought me here to dance make me
dance, make me dance. Oh! Lord, make me dance as you like. I have no devotion nor do I have any
knowledge, but I have strong faith in the holy name of Krishna. Saying so, youve signed the most
unfortunate, insignificant beggar A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami. That time when I read this, I couldnt
imagine the height of your selflessness.
Another incident impressed me a lot. I lead this in the foreword to the book science of self realization
by your disciple Mukunda Dasa. When someone asked you, whether you are god, you replied no, Im
not God=Im a servant of God. Then you reflected for a moment and said actually, Im trying to be a
servant of God. A servant of God is no ordinary thing. When you, the Jagadguru confess that you are
trying to become the servant of Krishna, then Ive not even started to start to try to become a servant of
Krishna.
All glories to your Holiness!
Although, so many things are told in temple discourses and so many things are read about the important
of spiritual master and the need to serve his mission. I dont find even a particle of feeling for inclination
to serve your mission. I show so much gratitude towards you. I beg you, please bestow me the
conscience to understand the relevance of your mission and serve your mission.
I have a bad habit to adultrate the subject matter when I write, just to make the subject more poetic.
Though, Ive tried my best to sincerely present my feelings about you, Ive definitely adultrated things.
So please, seeing that I am conditioned, please consider whatever Ive tried to confess sincerely.
All glories to your divine grace, seeking your unconditional mercy, an unqualified by aspiring servant.
Yours, Bhakta Pavan Kishore
Bhakta Prakash V
All glories to Srila Prabhupada, my spiritual master, by following whose path everyone including me are
sure enough to achieve the ultimate promotion in life.
In todays world, most who work in the corporate sector are bewildered in the race for promotions. Not
only promotions in their jobs, but also to promote or upgrade their belongings in pursuit of the mirage-
like happiness. In this endeavor, people are getting more perplexed in their path as they are unaware of
the real promotion which is promotion of the consciousness. Like Arjuna became perplexed in the path
of his duty and approached Lord Krsna as a surrendered soul and accepted him as his spiritual master to
get rid of the perplexities and to know the ultimate good, so will anyone achieve the ultimate promotion
in life by reading and following the instructions given by Lord Krsna or his representative, the spiritual
master. Srimad Bhagavatam (11.3.21) enjoins
tasmd guru prapadyeta jijsu reya uttamam
Therefore any person who seriously desires real happiness must seek a bona fide spiritual master and
take shelter of him by initiation.
Hence as quoted often by Srila Prabhupada, having a guru should not be a fashion or for name-sake, but
for enquiring seriously about the ultimate good. Thus any enquires we make even in the association of
devotees should be matters of sreyas and not matters of preyas as matters connected to the latter could
even be just prajalpas or loose talks which could destroy the creeper of Bhakti.
Srila Prabhupada, thus through this offering to you, I remain to be blessed to safeguard against such
prajalpas even though in ignorance I might have or be doing such. I remain to be blessed to always
meditate on your instructions and to follow them with determination to achieve the goal in my life
which is to achieve Love of Godhead.
Your Servant, Bhakta Prakash V

Namah om vishnu paadaaya Krishna prestaaya bhoothale
Srimathe bhakthi vedaantha Swaamin ithi naamine
HARE KRISHNA. On this auspicious moment, i would like to thank SRILA BHAKTHI VEDANTA
SWAMI PRABUPAAD, for giving the correct message of LORD KRISHNA, to this world, through the
books that he has written & for starting ISKCON movement.
KRISHNA says in BHAGVATHGEETHA
""Just try to learn the truth by approaching a spiritual master. Inquire from him submissively and render
service unto him. The self realised soul can impart knowledge unto you Because he has seen the truth."
SRILA PRABUPAD is really a soul who is blessed by LORD KRISHNA and sent by LORD KRISHNA to
spread KRISHNA CONSCIOUSNESS in this world. Because without LORD KRISHNA's help one single
man cannot make a strong movement like ISKCON at the same time having enormous spiritual
knowledge to write so many number of KRISHNA CONSCIOUS books.
By LORD SRI CHAITHANYA MAHAPRABHU'S mercy we got SRILA PRABUPAAD as our spiritual
master. By SRILA PRABUPAAD's guidance we could able to improve in KRISHNA CONSCIOUSNESS.
One should make use of this golden oppurtunity in this age of Kali, to reach our ultimate goal KRISHNA
LOKA, by reading SRILA PRABUPAAD's book daily, by chanting 16 rounds of HARE KRISHNA
MAHAAMANTRA daily and by doing service to ISKCON temple. In this way one can improve in
KRISHNA CONSCIOUSNESS, with association of devotees and can move easily in the path which leads
to SUPREME PERSONALITY OF GODHEAD, SRI KRISHNA.

Respected Prabhupada,
I offer my humble obeisances at your lotus feet many millions of times. I am extremely insignificant soul
& I have no qualifications to glorify a pure devotee like you.
Nonetheless with most humbleness I sincerely thank you for showing me great causeless mercy by
bringing me under the shelter of your divine lotus feet. I desire most sincerely that all fallen conditional
souls take exclusive shelter of your lotus feet & Lord Krishnas lotus feet & become liberated from
material bondage & go back to godhead. I beg at your lotus feet to make me an instrument in preaching
the message of Gita all over the world.
Yours most significant servant, Bhakta Praveen Kumar

Please accept my humble obeisances in the dust of your lotus feet. All glories to Your Divine Grace.
Thank you for coming to this world to save us in spite of the tremendous difficulties and obstacles which
VyasaPuja2011

you had to face alone, depending solely on the mercy of the Supreme Lord Krishna and your eternal
spiritual master, Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura.
You are the Supreme Personality of Servitor Godhead, freely bestowing your causeless mercy upon the
unqualified and ungrateful souls of kali-yuga. I am amongst the most fallen of living entities and yet, by
your unlimited compassion, you have glanced in my direction and now my life is going towards success.
Today by Your mercy I am getting association of devotees which I feel I don't deserve. Somehow or
other you allowed me to join your happy family of loving devotees and it changed my life forever. You
saved me, Guru deva, and I am eternally thankful and indebted to you. From past few years, my family
was struggling in your personal absence. Some of us have had difficulties and sometimes there have been
harsh words spoken amongst us. In your personal presence, these things could always be resolved by
your firm hand and loving guidance. But now we find everything more difficult.
Although I have no qualifications whatsoever, today I come before you with a humble prayer in my
heart. Please help us to heal the rifts between us and to come together as a family once again at your
lotus feet. There is so much service to be done in executing your blessed mission of delivering the
conditioned souls in this world and therefore we need to work together in a spirit of love and co-
operation to be truly effective in the way that you desired. But without your blessings, it will never come
to pass. . Kindly help us to please you in this way.
Thank you very much, Supreme Personality of Servitor Godhead Srila Prabhupada. All glories to your
divine lotus feet.
Your servant,
Bhakta Purushotham

I offer my respectful obeisances unto you.
These are my few words dedicated to you.
*SRILA PRABHUPADA, he is the founder of the ISKCON temple in all over the world and remains as the
sole ACHARYA in ISKCON.
*I first got introduced to SECRET OF SUCCESS and started understanding the real goal of life.
VyasaPuja2011

*I feel really happy by reading your books. I will be increasing to chant 12 rounds daily and will very
soon reach to chant 16 rounds everyday as instructed by you.
*I am attending Bhagavatham and Bhagavadgita classes on Sundays every week. By attending these
classes, little bit I came to know about who am I? why am I here? And lastly where I should be aiming to
go?
*Daily 10 to 15 minutes I will spend time in reading the book of MESSAGE OF GITA FOR STUDENTS.
All these spiritual practice is made possible only by your causeless mercy.
*So, finally I would like to thank you for creating ISKCON wherein one can really find true spiritual
happiness.

You are the only bonafide spiritual master who could preach the whole world that Maha Vishnu is the
expansion of Sri Krishna not the vice-versa with proper presentation through vedic literatures. For the
first time ever having heard of this reality from you, this very one enlightening point pulled me towards
your Lotus feet. Though Vishnu and Krishna are one and the same person, still the finer difference with
proper position of Lord Krishna was made very distinctly clear through your wonderful teachings.
With your kind heart and kind motive lakhs and lakhs of souls in school are daily getting nourished by
honouring Sri Krishna Prasadam. We have also been fed spiritually by getting an opportunity to
understand your teachings & how to practically apply them through Folk class and association of
devotees.
In the society people die with scarce of food. But here we have been blessed with Krishna Prasadam
unlimitedly without any much hard endeavour.
I am really honored to be your servant.
I am ever grateful to you Prabhupada for giving us these tools of Sri Krishna Prasadam and the
transcendental knowledge.
Begging for your mercy,

Please accept my obeisances at your Lotus Feet. All glories to your Divine Grace.
On the occasion of your Vyasa-puja, the day of your blessed appearance in this world, I make the
following humble offering. I am presenting an great work done by your disciple Ananta Dasa Sastri as
my offering to you.
There was a disciple of our Guru Maharaja in 1976, I believe his name was Ananta Dasa Sastri. He used
to travel with Srila Prabhupada in India and he was in the Sanskrit department assisting Srila
Prabhupada in translation work. That year he compiled five slokas which describe much of Srila
Prabhupada's divine character and his divine mission also. Prabhupada very much liked these five
slokas.
"O Lord, O Prabhupada, may you always be the object of my vision. Only the name of Krsna can destroy
my pride and illusion. Although my mind and intelligence are contaminated by wicked inclinations, I
nevertheless take shelter of Your Divine Grace by constant meditation upon your lotus feet in causeless
devotion."
VyasaPuja2011

"In the most holy land of Sri Vrndavana Dhama, in Ramana Reti, at the lotus feet of Sri Krsna-Balarama,
you are preaching the topmost knowledge of Krsna the Supreme Personality of Godhead who is the
fountainhead of religion. O master of the senses, O my Lord, Srila Prabhupada, let me offer my
obeisances unto you."
"I offer my obeisances unto the spiritual master of the entire world, His Divine Grace Srila A.C.
Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, whose glances are full of mercy and who is the bestower of
transcendental bliss. O renowned lord, please protect me and kindly shower your compassion on me
again and again."
"Let me offer my obeisances unto the lotus feet of my spiritual master, who is a disciple of Srila
Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Thakura Prabhupada, who is always calm and joyful, and who in known by
the name of Bhaktivedanta Swami."
"The land of Bengal is worshipable by the whole world because Sri Gauranga Mahaprabhu performed
His pastimes there. I offer my obeisances unto Srila Prabhupada, who is full of bliss. He is always in the
ecstasy of Lord Gauranga and is therefore immersed in the lotus feet of Sri Sri Radha-Madhava."
I pray, dear Srila Prabhupada, to help us to serve you in the mood you have written in your purports. I
pray that your mercy may always be open to your lowly servants, such as myself. I pray to always receive
the purification from your Bhaktivedanta purports and the words emanating from your lotus lips. Only
by association with your devotees and your transcendental books and tapes, can we ever hope to advance
in this lifetime, and come back home to your lotus feet.

To the lotus feet of my spiritual master,
His divine grace Bhakti Vedanta Swamy Prabhupada Ki,
I am coming to ISKCON since from 2009 with the reference of one my friend. Since the day I visited
ISKCON, I started to feel some unique in that environment. Later on my friend introduced to SOS
classes and those classes connected me to ISKCON in deep later on. I continued to attend those
interesting classes regularly (weekends) and started to add more spiritual knowledge into my life. These
classes taught me the reason of my birth in this material world.
After in 2010-2011 I completely got involved as a child of Lord Shree Krishna. Before I used to search for
the existence of lord in the earth but now I got to know where God really exists. Then continued with
my journey of spiritual life and suddenly I was posted in WIPRO INFOTECH as a Te
Now I have moved to Folk Classes to gain advanced spiritual knowledge. When I attend FOLK classes, I
remember my mother as she is being teaching me about spiritual life till now. And after every class, I
come back home and me and my mother will sit together discuss about Lord and with our questions
which will end up at night 2o clock sometimes.
Finally the difference I can say compared to the life before in touch with ISKCON and after, is that I had
Known the real meaning of my birth.
Known the existence of God in this earth.
Known how to connect with my soul to the supreme soul.
Known what is my job in this material World.
So all these changes in my life is because of my spiritual master Srila Prabhupada Ji. Thank you Prabhu
Ji.
And thank you to all my Prabhus in ISKCON who are providing me the ultimate spiritual knowledge
which I did not find it elsewhere.

Dear Srila Prabhupad ,
All Glories to you
I had lots and lots of doubts about you from the inception of my visit to ISKCON. But gradually I came
to know that all the notions I had about you was wrong and even I got to know the reasons behind your
every words and actions from various devotees. After all my suspicions about you got cleared, I accepted
you as my guru maharaj from my heart. I thank you a lot because you are the first person in my life who
showed the higher taste KRISHNA. Its because of you I have discovered myself and my lifes ultimate
goal i.e. to serve KRISHNA and to strive to satisfy him. In fact, this is the tangible goal of every soul.
Even though I had Krishna as my favorite god from my childhood I didnt know who he is? But when I
read your sacred books I came to know that He is the only object of worship for every soul. He is for
everyone of us.
From you I realized that only Krishna will be with us life after life. When I heard that Krishna has all
along come with us to be with us in our heart even if we have forgotten him or ignored him tears fell
from my eyes. No one comes with us even if we have hurt them to the peak i.e. by neglecting or ignoring
them. This would not have been possible for this unworthy and sinful soul to know Krishna without you
my dear prabupaad. I pay my obeisance to you whole heartedly.
Its because of you and your books I am able to understand the transcendental knowledge. I beg you to
hold my hand and guide me to reach my eternal father Krishna. Only you are the driver who can take me
there by taking a small fare i.e. chanting 16 rounds the lords name, following 4 regulative principles. At
present I am chanting 6 rounds, please give me the strength to make it up to 16. I beg you my dear guru
maharaj.
Also I pray to you to give me strength to follow all your above mentioned principles strictly and become
a sincere servant of yours.
Your unworthy servant
Bhakta ShivaPrasad.T.P

Im very grateful to you for the elevation you provided to me through your teachings and principles. You
have made me realize what the purpose of our lives is and why we are leaving, what is the reason for our
life is, and why we must serve the Lord instead of wasting time trying to please the people. Today I have
refined myself because of what you have taught me. I admire every step that you took in your life and
how people of the entire world got changed. Today, the world knows how rich India is in traditions and
cultures and how meaningful it is than anything else. Today, every corner of the world knows about the
importance of spirituality in life. All the people of the present world could have been drawn to the right
path if you were with us today.
I started following ISKCON an year back. I got an opportunity to associate with elevated personalities
who have got enormous positive energy in them. I got lot of positive energy induced in me after I got in
touch with them. Every visit to ISKCON induces positive energy in me and gives some kind of courage
and confidence in whatever I do. I also got great opportunities to do services to the Lord on auspicious
occasions which is a form of blessing. For all these good things, a person should have Anugraha from
the Guru and I thank you for blessing me with good things in life.
Thank You

Dear Prabhupad,
I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude through this homage to you.
First of all, I would like to Thank You for giving us an opportunity to take shelter of the lotus feet of Sri
Sri Radha Krishna Chandra, Krishna Balaram, Nitai Gauranga, Srinivas Govinda, Prahlad Narasimha and
Yours.
You have given us the message of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu to chant the holy names of Supreme Lord
Krishna, which is the process recommended in this age of Kali. You are the spiritual master who
established 108 temples in just 11 years all over the world, initiated more than 10,000 disciples, wrote
letters personally in spite of your hectic schedule and humbly requested the disciples to prohibit the
major sinful activities and ordered them to chant fixed number of Hare Krishna mantra daily.
At your very elderly age, you circumambulated the globe 14 times and converted many hippies,
philosophers, scientists and scholars into devotees with so much determination and difficulties. You
have made your Spiritual master Srila Bhakti Siddhantha Saraswathi Takuras dreams come true.
Finally, your mission was successful and your final lesson to all of us was to hear, chant, sing, dance,
remember, and serve the Lotus feet of the Supreme personality of Godhead, Krishna. These mesmerizing
and enchanting pastimes of yours made me to admire you and I indeed aspire to become a sincere
disciple of yours.

I am really blessed and fortunate enough to be guided by your teachings. The Nectar being sent by the
ISKCON mission has transformed many of my friends as well and helped them to tackle the various
challenges faced by them. I have also immensely benefited through your teachings. I am looking forward
to be guided by you throughout for the rest of my life.

Dear, Srila Prabhupada
It has been three years since I started coming to the temple in Mysore. I still cant forget that sight when I
first stepped inside the temple, it was Deepotsava Festival lights were so favouring to my eyes, lord was
decorated with lights and colourful flowers, I could really feel the richness, Damodara ashtaka was been
sung by devotees with wonderful music, I never moved myself a single inch until the program got over, I
was really carried away. That was the movement I decided that this is the place where I should
constantly be in contact with..
From that day I started to coming to temple regularly, I feel quite happy when I visit temple. I feel like I
have come to my own place.
I got an opportunity to interact with devotees and they presented your teachings nicely. They showed
their great intelligence in making us understand the following:-
1. What is this life all about?
2. Who is Krsna?
3. What is the real goal of life?
Before me coming to ISKCON I had been to many other spiritual institutions, when I approached the
devotees with some questions, the answer which they gave me did not convince me at all, I thought
something was really missing in their answer.
When I ask the same question with devotees here in ISKCON they gave a clear-cut, straight forward
answer, which I used to think that was the most difficult question to answer.
Srila Prabhupada, I am really grateful to you for creating ISKCON and giving us an opportunity to
associate with devotees and learn to progress in spiritual life.
The best of all in ISKCON is that there is no cast barrier to render service to Krishna. Some people
thought i`m a Christian and started appreciating me for coming to temple and rendering service. This
understanding can come to only a fully knowledgeable person not a half knowledgeable person.
I always had a question why ISKCON only has such intellectual preachers? What is actually pulling
them towards the temple? Why only intellectuals?
When I started coming to temple regularly I came to know the source of intelligence was actually you
Prabhupada. Actually divine knowledge preached by triggers ones intelligence to ponder over his
existence and drag one to get attracted towards you.
People come here and know many things which is very essential to life in a proper channel of guru
parampara
1. Why are we born here?
2. Why are we suffering? How to come out of this suffering?
3. What is devotional service? I experienced the exotic feeling of devotional service when I had been to
book distribution for the first time
VyasaPuja2011

4. Who is the supreme personality of god head? Why should we surrender to him?
5. Difference between Prasadam and un offered food?
6. What are the karmic reaction if we do not follow the regulative principles?
7. Finally what is the real goal of life?
I feel Im really blessed by Krishna to have you as my spiritual master and know all these essential
elements through you Prabhupada. The best of all in your books is the logical reasoning behind
everything you have explained in the books, which makes common man to understand better. This
logical reasoning can be given by those have got complete understanding about Krishna.
I request you to show more mercy on to me to become more stronger in Krishna consciousness.

My dear Lordships Sri Sri Krishna Balaram,
My dear Jagad guru Srila Prabhupada,
My dear God Brothers & devotees.
Today on this auspicious occasion of Vyasa puja, you have given me an opportunity to glorify our Jagad
Guru Sri Srila Prabhupada which is very difficult for a person like me. Although there are many words
& phrases in the dictionary of any university of the world, words fail short to glorify Srila Prabhupada
who is a Superhuman man.
My dear Jagad Guru you just said three words. That is, Chant, Read and Take Prasadam.
My dear Gurudev just these three worlds changed my whole life style & it transformed me to be a
devotee of Lord Krishna.
My Dear Gurudev I want to briefly explain one by one. I did not know what the meaning of chanting
was. But today by your Grace Im chanting the holy name of Lord Krishna. The Hare Krishna Maha
Mantra acts like a medicine & works so effectively that one can see wonders happening in their life every
day. Even though I didnt know dancing, by your Grace I learnt it very fast & I like to dance for all the
Vaishnava songs & kirtans in the temple & although I knew Eating I didnt know what to eat & how
much to eat. But today by your Grace & guidance Im eating Krishna Prasadam & trying to follow how
much as possible. But my dear Gurudeva today on this auspicious day of Vyasa Puja I request you with
all my Humility & Pridelessness to give me strength & power to do all these things more nicely, more
properly, more confidently & more lovingly as this is my 25
th
VYASA PUJA participation in my life.
With lots of love, faith & trust.
Your most humble servant in the service of Guru & Gauranga

I offer my respectful obeisances to your lotus feet with great reverence and affection. Please accept my
humble letter and bless me and my family to obtain Krishnas mercy and to be in Krishna consciousness
always.
I came in touch with ISKCON by the influence of my uncle during my engineering time. Down the lane
with your blessing on my family, we accepted you as our guru started following the rules and regulations
VyasaPuja2011

as prescribed by you for the spiritual enhancement. By constant touch with ISKCON, we have started
gaining the S.Q (Spiritual Quotient).
I and my family are truly inspired by the teachings given by you which is coming down purely in a
parampara. You have explained in simple and better English so that any common man can understand
with scientific explanation.
On understanding who is god and his position, we started worshiping Krishna as supreme lord at our
house. Now our house has become a temple. Thanks for enlightening us through the true knowledge
presented by your books, records and videos.
We have started attending regularly Sunday programs and will do voluntary services in temple during
festivals and special occasions.
I love prasadam distributed during every Sunday morning and the feast prepared during festivals. I love
sankirtan and as well as vaishnava songs. I dont have words to explain the contributions you have given
to us and for the whole world. I have tried to explain the joy which I have experienced with my family.
I sincerely pray for your blessing to me and my family to keep ourself in Krishna Consciousness.

Before coming to Iskcon, I used to visit many temples & used to think all the devatas are equal. By good
fortune I visited Iskcon temple in Bangalore had a nice darshan of their lordships Sri Sri Radha and
Krishna. I liked the worship standard which is followed in ISKCON. I got amazed seeing devotees
leading kirtana & dancing in front of the lord, without any shyness. Later, I happened to hear your
lectures and came to know who is Supreme God. The day, I visited is unforgettable, which was full of
happiness.
You are mercy representation of the lord. Please bless me with the transcendental knowledge & give me
an opportunity to spread the message which you made me realize about who is Supreme God and which
family I eternally belong to. I am now chanting 16 rounds of Hare Krishna Maha mantra & reading your
books. Please give me strength to practice the instructions given by you.
VyasaPuja2011

Please keep this fallen soul as a servant in your temple and give me strength to engage in the service of
Lord Sri Krishna. I vow to follow the path chalked out by you and will always want to be a servant of
your servant.

Everyone can write books about Krishna, but not like Prabhupada.

At first I came to ISKCON alongwith my sister. During then, I thought you are also like any other
spiritual institution guru. But when I came in association with the devotees at ISKCON I was really
spellbound by hearing the achievements done by you in such a short duration of time. Even materially
comparing, no individual can ever contribute such a voluminous literatures on the vedic wisdom.
Therefore, you have has been acknowledged by the world and is entered in the Guiness Book of Records
.The most inspiring contribution by you is establishing ISKCON temples all over the world. By travelling
abroad and preaching the message of Bhagavad-gita in simple understandable words, you made the
hearts of stone hearted melt and accept the Supreme Lord Krishna as ones very intimate master. I salute
to the lotus feet of Srila Prabhupad for his great movement and his super thoughts which if applied and
practiced seriously, one can make his human form life successful.
VyasaPuja2011

At first, by hearing your instructions of chanting 16 rounds really surprised me. But, when I started
chanting 2 rounds every day I explored that this is not an ordinary mantra. This is completely
descending from the spiritual stratum and can give one a glimpse of happiness in coming in touch with
the Supreme Lord Krishna through Sound.
Chanting has really brought a tremendous impact in my life. Even materially too. Initially I was an
average student in 3rd sem and from 4th sem onwards I got very consistent marks and now I am much
better than earlier.
Finally, once again I thank you for giving me this matchless gift of Krishna Consciousness.

Dear Spiritual Master Prabhupada,
First of all I thank you for giving me an opportunity to serve your Krishna Conscious mission. When I
started coming to temple I got attracted to the delicious Krishna Prasadam, then I enjoyed dancing with
the temple prabhujis, then I started learning Karatal to play, now I enjoy playing Karatal during
Sankirtan in the temple.
Slowly I started taking part in Krishna Contest and I read your books like Srila Prabhupada, Vrajanandan
Krishna , Vrindavan Krishna, Chaitanya Mahaprabhu and I enjoyed reading Krishna s pastimes, now I
started reading Krisna Book ..
Prabhupada today I cooked some items for you, please accept and please bless me to be always under
your shelter and practice Krishna Conscious seriously.
Thank you Prabhupada

the chance to relish prasadam of Lord Krishna. Now we have Sri Sri Radha Madhava Gaura Nitai Sundar

Please accept my most respectful and humble obeisances at your divine lotus feet.
Srila Prabhupada my most beloved gurudeva, Even after three decades of your aprakata lila, I am unable
to follow your orders to become a worthy disciple. My heart refuses to become pure, since it is filled
with so many anarthas, which is willfully blocking to taste the holy name of Sri Krishna that you so
kindly gave it to me.
That is your extraordinary qualification like Sri Ramanuja Acarya, Srila Prabhupada you are the only
next acarya who broke all boundaries to distribute the holy name:
hare krishna hare krishna krishna krishna hare hare
hare rama hare rama rama rama hare hare.
to one and all. In one sense you went a step ahead of all other acaryas, of all sampradayas and crossed
the ocean to the western world only to mercifully retrieve sinful souls from every hook and corner of the
world, to back home, back to godhead. That was your mission.
Chaitanya Mahaprabhu gave us the love of Krishna, that is reason i.e., is known as magnanimous
incarnation and Srila Prabhupada, you are even more magnanimous than Chaitanya Mahaprabhu
because he gave this love of Krishna to many fallen souls but not all, whereas you are giving to the entire
world. And what a wonderful process to distribute this love godhead- simply chanting the holy names of
Krishna. This is really wonderful.
Bless me so that I can be surrendered to your Divine Grace and one day my faith and following may
come to a standard of becoming a true disciple of our Divine Grace and the glorious parampara. I realise
that is not easy to become a true disciple of this great parampara. My only hope is your causeless mercy
upon me.
Your Aspiring Servant,

Its said that without the mercy of a spiritual master one can never touch the Lotus feet of Lord Krishna. I
still remember the day when I came to ISKCON for the first time. That very day changed my life forever.
Hence, I strongly believe that it was your mercy which dragged me to your temple to get connected with
the lord.
Even now when I sit back & think about my previous days & about my present, only one thought comes
to my mind - what if i had not got connected with lord Krishna?
It is all because of your mercy & lords grace that I am receiving constant showers of Prema Bhakthi in
my life & I only wish that these showers continue till the end of my life which is only possible by your
blessings.
Therefore, let your hands be always on our heads & I wish that you stay among us whenever the name
Krishna comes.
Therefore I offer thousands and thousands of obeisances unto your feet. Your mercy is endless & hence
these few words are not at all enough to describe Prabhupada.
A humble prayer to keep us as particles of dust at your lotus feet.
Hare Krishna, Radhe Radhe

Please accept my respectful obeisences. It is my great fortune to have a chance to glorify you on such an
auspicious day. The number of changes you have brought in my life cannot be counted. You have
provided people like me with ISKCON which offers a chance to practice Krishna consciousness and
mingle with devotees. I have read your biography and am very surprised to see the numerous changes
you brought into the sinful lives of hippies and runaway teenagers, bringing them under the holy shelter
of Krishnas feet. It is difficult to believe that those who had ran around parks high on drugs singing
various mundane songs had the good luck to worship lord jagannath and enjoy kirtana.
The first time I had come to ISKCON I was instantly captivated by the beauty of shri shri Krishna
balaram, the delicious prasadam and the vast range of literature. I immediately took up reading books
such as the Hare Krishna challenge, a second chance and perfect questions perfect answer. Slowly and
steadily my family developed in Krishna consciousness. From the starting I had had a wish to worship
my own deities. Today by your grace we have our own radhamadhava deities and I can worship them.
There are many more sources given by you that make devotee. For example, all your lectures which
openly challenge atheists, non- believers and people claiming to be god. You also gave prasadam to all
the unfortunate people prasadam which is not only nourishing for the body but also for the mind and
the soul. No one can number the number of people you have saved from falling into the wheel of birth
and death. The mercy you have shown on fallen souls like me is immense. You have not only saved us
from a dreadful fate but also shown us what real pleasure is. Huge wonderful festivals, grand rath yatra
and majestic deities. I was like a honey bee searching for just some dust on the ground but you gave me
the sweetest nectar in the world. I can never express my gratitude to you.
I will always be in need of your compassion to progress in my spiritual life. I thank you for giving all the
necessities for Krishna consciousness and also parents who are devotees and encourage me on this path.
Please have pity on me and forgive the mistakes I commit in my daily spiritual life. Help me so that I
dont get distracted by the various illusions and temptations of this material world. And thank you for
being my guru.
Endeavouring to be a true devotee and always in need of your mercy,

Bhaktin Asha Basavaraj
Please accept my humble obeisances at your divine lotus feet. All glories unto you.
The whole world is becoming Krishna conscious by the potency of your preaching. Only a gross fool can
deny this. Every single word that came out of your divine mouth is completely perfect and absolute
truth. Hearing from you, whether it is through reading your books or listening to your lectures, brings
perfection to ones life.
Looking back and comparing my life from now to before, I shiver thinking of what a wretched life I
could have been leadingif not for ISKCON, devotees, and you, Srila Prabhupada. Because of you, so
many fallen souls like me are being saved.
If you had not come to save us, we would have nothing. There would be no ISKCON and we would
know nothing of our real life with Krishna in the spiritual world. But you came to save us and gave us
the many wonderful and amazing gifts of Krishna consciousness.
Your Divine Grace finally provided us the true love for Supreme Personality of Godhead, Lord Sri
Krishna. For this I am eternally indebted to your love for such a fallen soul as I.
VyasaPuja2011

I was living like a dead stone, you gave me life. Now with this life which is your causeless mercy on me,
I want to serve you to my utmost capacity. Kindly bless me. So many times I tend to become confused in
my path of devotional service. Kindly dissipate all kinds of ignorance in my path by the torch of
knowledge. You are the most magnanimous and most merciful representative of Supreme Lord Sri
Krishna.
Dear Prabhupada, after I underwent a disaster in my life, you lent me your hand and pulled me up from
the ocean of miseries and placed me onto the shore of blissful spiritual platform.
I have no qualification to write or say anything about your unlimited glories dear Srila Prabhupada, but
wanted to thank you as I remain grateful to you forever.
I thank you for being a magician in my life as you are the cause for the arrival of the most
lovable Lord Krishna to my home.
Please forgive me for any offenses and inabilities.
Your insignificant and fallen servant, Bhaktin Asha Basavaraj
Bhaktin Bhagyaratna Suryavanshi
Please accept my respectful obeisances. By preaching the cult of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu your
holiness has performed the most beneficial activity for the human community & your movement Is
successfully claiming the fallen souls and freeing them from contamination.
Your books especially Srimad Bhagavatam has enabled one and all to experience that transcendental
bliss.
I neither have the ability, nor vocabularly to speak about your spiritual assets. You have greatly
influenced my life via your books. You made me realize that I am such a small useless little thing and
taught me how I can make myself useful & perfect my life. I feel very happy & am indebted to you.
I thank you for everything & beg to take shelter at your lotus feet eternally. I will do my best to make
you happy by following your advice & instructions in whatever the circumstances I may come across &
being put in.
Thanking you,
Yours little useless Soul, Bhagyaratna Suryavanshi

My journey with ISKCON Mysore began a long time ago. It was when one of my sons office staff told
me about it near V.V.Moholla. He took me along to the temple one Sunday morning and that is when I
got introduced to ISKCONs traditions. It was very nice to hear everyone sing the bhajans and pray to
Lord Krishna together. We were offered some prasadam in the end which I gladly took and distributed
to my family when I got back home. After that visit, it became a little difficult for me to visit ISKCON as
it was very far away from my house and I could not go by myself.
It was not until recently that I rediscovered ISKCON in Mysore. It was Janmashtami night and my grand
daughter and I were going out somewhere in the car and I saw crackers being burst and the Janmashtami
procession passing by and going into the temple. I then decided to visit this temple as it was very close
to my house and realized that it was the ISKCON temple.
I started coming to the temple regularly after that and enjoy my visits. It was then that they gave me a
japamala and taught me the japam,
The environment that ISKCON gives me is very soothing and I find a peace of mind here. Seeing the
pictures of Lord Krishna, Lord Balarama and the Prabupada helps me concentrate and focus on the
almighty. The few hours of my day that I spend here bring me great happiness and over the years I have
grown much attached to it. I have met many new people with who I feel very happy to serve the Lord.
I am very thankful to the person who introduced me to ISKCON Mysore. I wish to involve myself even
more with the functions in the temple. My humble namaskaram to the Prabupada.
Hare Krishna.

All loving Spiritual master Srila Prabhupad ki jai.
Srila prabhupad, your gifts to the world are filled with tremendous spiritual value. You have given us a
wonderful philosophy to live by knowledge of our true spiritual identities, beautiful deities of Krishna to
worship, the all auspicious holy name of Krishna & delicious Krishna prasadam. You also gave us the
spiritually enlivening association of devotees & the opportunity to develop pure love of godhead &
return to a life of eternity bliss and knowledge in the spiritual world.
In return for all these blessings, Srila Prabhupada asked nothing for himself. He simply asked that we
refrain from sinful activities, chant Hare Krishna and give Krishna consciousness to others. In this way,
selflessly giving of himself, at every step.
Prabhupada, at such an advance age you left Vrindavan dham to give Vrindavan consciousness to
English speaking world. This shows how Krishna empowers his devotees to perform impossible tasks,
how he miraculously arranges things & events when there is purity in our purpose & sincerity in our
efforts to lovingly serve him. If we strive to serve Krishna, his mercy will inundates us.
Please Srila Prabhupada, bless me to remain strong in my daily sadana bhakti & fully place my faith in
you & Krishna. Prabhupada, you are my eternal spiritual master. Please guide me in my day to day
action.
Feeling unworthy yet deeply greatful to you for everything you have given me today by your infinite
compassion.Please forgive me for the offenses committed at your lotus feet.
Seeking the dust of your lotus feet

Respected Srila Prabhupad,
I offer my humble obeisance at your lotus feet!
My entry to ISKCON, Mysore was purely accidental. It was exactly a year ago, I came to the temple. I
was a mute observer to all that was going on during the celebrations of Krishna Janmastami and Vyasa
Puja. I saw a large number of devotees offering verities of food stuff prepared personally, singing,
dancing and doing pushparchana. It took a while for me to understand what it was, as I was totally new
to ISKCON. As I continued to visit the temple I got attracted to your immaculate system of prayers; the
punctuality followed in the temple; the positive vibrations in the main temple hall; SB and Bg classes;
Prasadam and the work that is being carried out incessantly in Akshaya Pathra. As days passed by I
began to read your books like Science of Self Realization, Bhagvad- gita As It Is, Krsna and so on.
I enjoy listening to your lectures and reading the quotes. When I read about the importance of following
the four regulative principles, without any postponement I started following them by your divine graces
special mercy. Very soon I started chanting the Hare Krishna maha mantra also.
Your presentations are very simple and easy to understand. The facility with which you put forth the
most abstract and the philosophical aspects put the audience at ease. I simply adore the simple examples
that you choose to explain the spiritual science and the sacred matters relating to Krishna consciousness
and God realization. I am completely amazed by the rich contributions you have made to the Vedic
literature.
Some of my favourites in Krishna consciousness at present are Mangala Arati; Gaura-arati,
Chanting Sri Brahma Samhitha; - Narasimha Kavacha; Purusha Sukta Singing bhajans like Narasimha
Kirtana and Radha Krishna Prana mora. I get captivated by the paintings of Lord Krishna showing
Brahmanda to Yashoda Mayi, Yashoda Krishna painting and Shyama Sundara form of Krishna. Along
with the above, the following verse from Bhagavad Gita stands as an inspiration to continue by spiritual
life.
But those who always worship Me with exclusive devotion, meditating on My transcendental form
to them I carry what they lack, and I preserve what they have. Verse 9.22 of Bg
Always seeking your blessings to remain in Krishna consciousness forever
Eternal seeker of your mercy

Please accept my humble obeisances unto your lotus feet. On this Vyasa Puja day, I wish to say words
about my Nija Guru Srila Prabhupad.
Ten years back, I was suffering from unhealthy & mental depression. I had no hopes in my life. It was
my great fortune that at the right junction I got you Srila Prabhupad as my guru and then I started
surrendering unto the lotus feet of Lord Krishna and put my responsibilities on His divine feet. By the
mercy of my guru Srila Prabhupad I started reading his book called Bhagavad Gita Yatharupa. By reading
Bhagavad gita everyday, I became physically cured and got spiritual knowledge of Sri Krishna.
And from ten years Im chanting Hare Krishna Maha Mantra sixteen rounds. Now Im mentally peaceful.
But some days maya is disturbing and avoiding my devotional service to Sri Krishna. So therefore, I
kindly request you Srila Prabhupad to give me the strength and ability to forgive my mistakes and I seek
your blessings for Spiritual Perfection.
Your servant,
Bhaktin Mohaneshwari

Nama o viu-pdya ka-prehya bh-tale rmate bhaktivednta-svmin iti nmine
Prabhupad, you are protecting me from the clutches of maya in this material world, by holding my hand
and showing me the right path.
You have enlightened me with the ultimate truth and guided me in all walks of life, thank you gurudev.
My life has changed since you have held my hand. I can clearly see changes everyday, every moment of
my life. All glories to your lotus feet, oh representative of the supreme lord.
My dear Lord Krishna please help me obey my spiritual master, follow all his instructions & obey his
orders.
My only aim and wish is to serve you my spiritual master, all the devotees and serve my beloved Lord
Sri Krishna and Srimathi Radha Rani with all my heart & soul.
Gurudev help me chant properly, follow your instructions and to have full faith in your words.
Thank you for all the good things you have bestowed upon me,
Hare Krishna
Your humble servant
Padmasini
Bhaktin Poonam Prakash
My respectable obeisances unto his divine grace Swami Prabhupada.
This is my first offering to his holy grace. I know not much about your world but in this short span of
time I have understood your superior position & how dear to the lord you are. You have given us this
platform of spirituality where one & all gain so much knowledge and the means to be one with god.
Without your guidance we would never have known the greatest spiritual kingdom ie., the ISKCON
movement which is your greatest gift to mankind. It is also the most religious & peaceful shelters for the
misguided ignorant souls like us. You have given us this opportunity to understand & know more about
VyasaPuja2011

the Supreme Lord Krishna & it is you who has brought us closer to Him. No one can do what you have
done for all the fallen souls.
Im your humble servant who looks forward to my visits to the temple because Im at peace when Im
there & forget the world outside once inside. Reading your books, taking part in the sankirtan, chanting
& trying to follow your instructions to the best of my ability have given new meaning & direction to my
life. Your sincere effort of spreading Krishna consciousness all over the world has a great impact on us.
Youre an immortal soul.
I thank you from the bottom of my heart for showing us how to serve you and the lord with devotion &
faith. Hare Krishna.
Yours humble servant
Bhaktin Poonam Prakash
Bhaktin Shanthi Rajan
First of all I pay my humble obeisances unto your lotus feet.
Dear Prabhupada, it is by your causeless mercy that I am in the platform to glorify you.
Prabhupada, I just cant repay the debt to your organization (Srila Prabhupadas ISKCON) even if I serve
many lifetimes. Dear Srila Prabhupada, this mission is your body. So if someone disturbs the smooth
conduct they are really troubling you. Without your causeless mercy we cant do anything in this
situation. Though I am trying to follow your instructions, sometimes I am disturbed because of
unfavourable happenings. Please protect this mission (a happy home for my family) by bringing out a
change in the hearts of the wrong doers so that all your children who are preaching the glories of
Krishna may be peaceful.
Dear Prabhupada give everyone the wisdom to understand the real goal of life (which is pleasing you
the pure devotee). To a child father is unique. When time progresses he cant be asked to recognize
someone else as his father. Please understand our confused condition Srila Prabhupada and give solution
through Supreme Court judgment.
Dear Srila Prabhupada please show your causeless mercy upon the misguided children to come to real
understanding and work in unison to achieve your vision of spreading Krishna Consciousness even in
the remote places of this universe.
Dear Srila Prabhupada please clear the uncertain black clouds frequently coming and disturbing your
sincere children. You are living eternally through your instructions, lectures, books etc. Then why
should one think of having physical [living]] guru? We are very happy in the present atmosphere and
management Srila Prabhupada. Please allow them to do your service Srila Prabhupada! It is only possible
by your causeless mercy upon these - your sincere children.
JAI SRILA PRABHUPADA!
Your Unworthy Servant of Servant,
Bhaktin Shanthi Rajan
Bhaktin Shobhitha K M
Dear Prabhupada,
Remembrance of Krishna all the time is not possible for an impure and fallen soul like me. How can I
ever pull the load of Maya when the link to spiritual master is broken? Though materially I have no
father, you have been my marvelous guide and the most supportive father than anyone can be. When I
was struggling in the hardships of life, and was guillotined by the trials and tribulations of life, you lent
VyasaPuja2011

me a hand by lifting me onto the spiritual platform out of your causeless mercy. When I was accustomed
to the useless material activities and to its results, u taught me to chant the very glorious Harinam of the
Lord. Chanting the Hare Krishna maha mantra, my heart trembled with ecstasy. Since then I have been
regularly chanting the holy names of Lord.
When I became morose at times your wonderful and matchless books have taught me priceless and
moral spiritual values which have taken me to the light of knowledge and happiness. You also
have undertaken great pain and faced various difficulties to establish ISKCON. You are so munificent
unto us that you have created a home where the whole world can live in peacefully.
Your unalloyed devotion to lord Krishna, your submissiveness, ecstatic kirtans, solace books, pure smile,
merciful glance and the protective shelter of your lotus feet is all just beautiful.
You are the only divine one who can take me to the eternal world back home-back to Godhead. Thus I
request you out of unaccountable pain to cast your glance and mercy upon me so that I can escape from
this material world and can make this lifetime opportunity successful.
The only valuable thing I will be hankering for till my last breath is the divine shelter of your lotus feet.
Bhaktin Shobhitha.K.M.
Bhaktin Shymala Kumari
Most venerable Srila Prabhupada
Pranams to your lotus feet. The first time I heard about your Great Self was in early 1970s from one of
the my Malayalam teacher trainees from West Bengal named P.K Sengupta who came to learn Malayalam
language and linguistics in Central Institute of Indian language, a Govt. of India establishment where in I
was working as lecturer. In one of the oral composition classes Shri. Sengupta spoke in Malayalam the
language he was learning about great man of Bengal who contributed to the cultural, religious and
spiritual health of our country. He spoke about your work in wild west where many youngsters where
leading miserable lives succumbing to drugs and other socially unacceptable attitudes and behaviour.
Decade passed away flying and after 35 years of language related work I retired from Govt. Service and
slowly started towards looking for opportunities for work which will give me peace of mind especially
after the demise of my husband. It was during this period few devotees from Mysore ISKCON visited my
house (in April 2009) and spoke to me about your greatness in detail and the activities of ISKCON for
spreading the Krishna consciousness. They detailed out to me about your glories and persuaded me to
join ISKCON as a life member and later I realised that it was a GOD sent boon. In fact my grandson
Advait who announced to me the arrival of the two devotees by referring to them as sages, saints,
hermits, Rishis etc was in fact doing so by Gods divine way.
When I was working as an academician I thought that work was worship and I could do that and now I
would like to make worship should be my work. Only with your blessing Prabhupada, I will be able to
achieve that. Whenever I am in Mysore I attend to the Pujas, prayers and other activities and really
experience a strange sense of peace. Listening to your noble disciples, kirtanas, bhajans and lectures in
addition to your recorded speeches and interviews etc I really feel very much relived from some
mundane problems which bother old people especially widows like me who would like to lead lives not
bothering children or other relatives.
Now I really feel that I have become a sort of an addict to your Divine Drug the Mahamantra Hare
Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare, Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare.
This great and easily acceptable maha mantra drug doing for all mental worries and problems really have
some magical effect to get rid of ones worldly worries. My infinite gratitude to you knows no
boundaries. Prabhupada, you are sole guru who can save the people from this world of suffering. May
VyasaPuja2011

your name and the Mahamantra resound in all the corners of all the continents there by helping people
to attain a going back to the Goloka VRINDAVANA where all of them can enjoy the presence, the
loving company of God ALMIGHTY KRSNA and the ecstasy of HIS ETERNAL LOVE.
Venerable Prabhupada; though I am enjoying ISKCON privileges of Bhajans, Kirtanas and Lectures etc I
am yet to go a long way in the spiritual path. Kindly bless me to attain that. Make me do hard work to
achieve that. I also have to make a confession. Of the innumerable books you have penned, I have read
only two books Krishna and the Bhagavatam Canto 1 and made the devotees days miserable by
asking all kinds of questions and putting my own arguments especially with reference to the status of
women in the society, science and spirituality etc. But being such staunch and dedicated followers of
YOUR NOBLE SELF they are trained well in your ideologies and are in an ecstasy while speaking about
YOU, YOUR TEACHINGS and are ever ready to convince people of the greatness of KRSNA
CONSCIOUSNESS. I am sure devotees and followers like them will increase in number day by day and
spread your message far and wide to enable people to go to Goloka Vrindavana as YOU WOULD LIKE
IT TO BE.
Jai srila prabhupad
Your Humble Devotee

Hare Krishna,
I offer my humble obeisances to the lotus feet of my spiritual master,Srila Prabhupada.
I am a perfect fallen soul with less intelligence, low knowledge and very strongly influenced by the three
modes of material nature.....performing all kind of material activities which has become normal in this
age of kaliyuga. But, it is not normal as we are the part and parcel of the Super soul.

My every activity is performed in the sense to satisfy my imperfect senses which results in serving maya
or illusion. Serving maya can give pleasure for few minutes and the desire for the pleasure of few
minutes." The desire for the pleasure of few minutes is the cause for material bondage!! you are that
liberated soul who can give eternal protection from maya.
My dear spiritual master, I bow down to your lotus feet and beg for your causeless mercy. By the mercy
of Krishna, The Supreme Personality of Godhead....I have been gifted with the association of a pure
devotee like you through your matchless books.
Please give me the desire to serve Krishna with full surrendrance. You are the perfect personality who
can give perfect knowledge, perfect intelligence and perfect devotion in order to know Krishna and serve
Him....for the perfection of fallen souls like me.
Gurudeva, "By the mercy of spiritual master a blind man can cross the river and a lame man can climb
the mountain."
Please make me your humble disciple and bless me for the success of my eternal spiritual life. Please give
me the intelligence to understand and follow your nectar of instructions.
Thank you for everything,
Yours fallen soul,
Bhaktin Spoorthy

I salute to His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada, Founder Acharya of the
International Society of Krishna Consciousness Prabhupada.
This is the only society which can give shelter to the whole world and make it free from the clutches of
three modes of material nature or rather from the clutches of Maya. I feel myself too fortunate for I was
being chosen by you to be a part of your society.
The first time when I visited ISKCON on the day of RathaYatra, I was truly surprised to see their
lordships Sri Sri Krishna Balarama beautifully dressed and decorated with garlands. Before coming here,
I never came across such an elaborate worship of the deities, sankirtan and the most important
prasadam. I came in touch with your books and I am more impressed by your teachings in BHAGAVAD
GITA and in SRI KRSNA, THE SUPREME PERSONALITY OF GODHEAD. And the important thing I
learnt here is, to be happy with whatever we are blessed and thank the Supreme for that, but not rather
blame Him for want we dont have.
Previously I had been to Jagannath Puri with my parents but we were amazed looking at
the forms of their lordships Jagannath, Baladev and Subhadra. But only after coming to ISKCON, we
learnt the reason behind it and their importance in our life.
VyasaPuja2011

Today I may be ignorant about my deeds in my past lives, but now I have set my goal for the present life.
I will become more serious in practicing Krishna Conscious and one day get Back to Home, Back to
Godhead where every word is a song and every step is a dance. Hence Oh my master see that I should be
successful in achieving my goal by pouring your mercy and blessings upon me.
Let there grow more respect in my heart towards you , All Glories To YOU.
I bow down to you..THANK YOU PRABHUPADA.
JAI SRILA PRABHUPAD!!!
JAI JAGANNATH!!!
Your servant,

Literal offering to Srila Prabhupada on his 115
th
appearance day- an attempt is made hereby by your
servitor Vijayalakshmi.L
Srila Prabhupada, by your instructions I realised that any material body-whether it be great or small,
light or heavy-the problems of material existence still remains.
One may progress from one stage to another, from Karmi to Jnani, from Jnani to Yogi, but in any case
finally one has to come to the platform of bhakti or devotional service. This is the real evolutionary
process that is come to Krishna consciousness. Unfortunately, the modern day scientists are still
meddling with the theory of man coming from monkey. But, they do not know that either it is monkey
or man, the struggle for existence continues.
As it is mentioned in Bhagavad Gita
Bahunam janma nam ante jnavan mam prapadyate
vasudevah sarvam iti samahatma su durlabhah.
After many births and deaths, he who is actually in knowledge surrenders unto me, knowing me to be
the cause of all causes, and all that is, such a great soul is very rare.
One who realizes this will take up Krishna consciousness & elevates himself immediately not waiting for
another birth. To come to this understanding, there is an absolute need of a bonafide spiritual master
who can present this Truth As It Is.
Dear Prabhupada, you are the sole acharya who boldly taught this message around the world.
As Chaitanya Mahaprabhu taught that our real identity is to be a servant of Krishna. Srila Prabhupada,
you revealed this to us in a very simpler way by giving many anologies to understand that anyway we are
servant either of our senses, family, community, nation or the world. But, ones true position to be the
servant of Krishna.
Material world is compared to a forest fire. Only Srila Prabhupada, you can extinguish it by your grace
on me.
In short, one can say or come to the conclusion that entire human life is meant for purification of mind
& soul which is only possible by serving your divine grace.
(sri guruvashtakam verse-8)
From above mentioned verse it is clear that only by the mercy & grace of the spiritual master one can be
able to come in touch with the supreme lord or come to the spirit of Krishna consciousness and able to
be a part & parcel of Krishna consciousness movement of Srila Prabhupada. All other attempts for
perfection are only futile attempts All glories to Srila Prabhupada!!!!!

My dear Guru Prabhupada,
I like to come to ISKCON every Sunday to have darshan of Sri Krishna Balaram, do little service and
have Prasadam. Please give me your blessings, shelter and guidance to do more.
Yours loving servant

Please accept my most respectful obeisances.
Prabhupada, You are a pure devotee of Lord Krishna. A pure devotee can only be glorified by an another
pure devotee only. But, as a mark of duty and for my purification, an attempt is hereby made by this
insignificant conditioned soul to glorify you, an eternal liberated soul, through this homage.
Prabhupada, I do not have enough words to thank you, as "thank you" is a very insignificant word for all
your kind efforts in bringing us closer to the Lotus Feet of Sri Krishna for without coming to this
movement I would never have appreciated what it means to love and serve Lord Krishna without any
motivation.
I try everyday to overcome my laziness and at least to chant my rounds and do some of your readings. I
am still trying hard, but haven't managed to fully succeed.
Prabhupada, I pray to you, to please remove the anartha's from my heart so that I may follow your
instructions seriously and serve you better. I am your completely unworthy servant and some how or
other I have come into some great fortune to be in contact with your glorious Sankirtan Movement.
I'm begging you to always give me an opportunity to render service unto your mission in any way you
desire. As the inevitable time rolls my life, let me never forgot you any time -- in success or failure,
honor or dishonor, happiness or distress; please, Srila Prabhupada, let me never leave your lotus feet,
because you are my only shelter and refuge.

Sri A.C Bhaktivedanta Swami prabhupadha garu,
Iskcon Founder Acharya,
Oh my guru,
Please accept my respectful obeisances to your lotus feet. You are the person who gave me a way to
practice in spirituality. Before knowing Iskcon, I felt that, this body is true, we want do some enjoyment
with this body like eating, sleeping, enjoying the life in material way, if any bad circumstances occur
then I used to adjust to that problem and didnt see the root cause at that time.
First time I came to know about Iskcon with the help of Iskcon follower sahadeva dasa prabhu, one day
he came to my hostel for youth preaching program on that day I was inspired by his words because
whatever he told was true, and it is given by supreme lord through Prabhupad from that day onwards I
am attached to the Iskcon devotees and progressing in spiritual way. Now my eyes are fully opened and
now I know I am not this body and I am a spirit soul .This is known to me by Prabhupad & his
followers.
By chanting HARE KRISHNA MANTRA we can reach the godhead and it is authorized way to praise
the lord in kaliyuga, this is also taught by Prabhupad to me. In this material world also chanting is very
much useful to me. By chanting I am able to improve my concentration & I get a good way of living.
Prabhupad you are so merciful, because of you only I came to know about the supreme personality of
godhead i.e., Krishna is supreme. Because of your mercy only I following your path i.e., what is the way
given by Krishna in BHAGAVATH GITA.
You are my guru. Oh prabhu please save me from this material world and give a chance to reach the
godhead.
ALL GLORIES TO SRILA PRABHUPAD.
Yours obedient servant,
Chirumamilla Sumanth.

The holy name which was given by sri chaitanya mahaprabhu which had changed the whole world by
his discipline sri A.C bhaktivendata swamy srila prabhupada who had taken this holy name to western
countries and made them krishna devotees when I didnt know about this maha mantra. I had no
concentration on studies and even god. But when I used to chant this Hare Krishna mantra my entire
life style had been changed. By following the regulative principles given by A.C bhaktivendanta swami
prabhupada a man can control his senes and maintain a good attitude. I offer my respectful humble
obsiences to prabhupada. The instrution given by you can change the entire attitude of a person and
your spiritual books which was a great boom to human society. Bhagavita as it is which was a useful to
every person who was existencing in this material world.
By accepting you has a spiritual master any problem can solved which was given by lord Krishna
supreme personality of god head.
A servant of god is not a ordinary thing it was his fortune to do service to god. By doing service to god
one can control his feelings ego and anger. Every human being has a fact on god. The fact was already
there but it should come to existence. We are just a tip of mud in his foot who had given a perfect way
to reach to god head. Jai srila prabhupada ki hai.

Chaitanya Rupa Dasa, USA
Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to your divine lotus feet.
Thank you so much for all of the incredible blessings you have most mercifully bestowed upon me
during my life. Although I am in no way deserving of your causeless mercy, you have generously
continued to bestow these blessings in spite of my resistance to completely surrender to your lotus feet.
In Toronto in 1976 you allowed me to experience a glimpse of the spiritual world at your lotus feet
during Guru-Puja. On my first day in India in 1977 you allowed me to be present in your room when
you chose to leave your body, and I was able to experience the incredible following week of lamentation
and celebration in Vrindavan with your most beloved disciples. Although I never lived in a temple you
allowed me to receive initiation to formalize our eternal relationship. You then arranged for me to live in
India while training young Indian tennis players and also helping to start the Food for Life program in
Madras. Through Lord Balaji you blessed me with a wonderful Bengali wife, furthering my connection
with India. When my spiritual master left ISKCON you allowed me to escape the politics that has
splintered your beloved ISKCON movement. Now you have given me the ultimate blessing, allowing me
to move permanently to Bangalore where I can have regular association of devotees at your most opulent
and pure temple in the world. The atmosphere here is a wonderful testament to your eternal presence in
your instructions and in the hearts of your sincere devotees.
How can I ever thank you for your blessings? I have never done any significant service to deserve your
mercy, yet you are so munificent that you continue to shower me with your mercy and arrange for me to
continue to return to your lotus feet. Please help me overcome my own ego and foolishness that holds
me back from serving you. Please allow me to dive deeply into the service that will most please you.
Please allow me to use my Western body to somehow convince Indians not to blindly follow the suicidal
path of materialism of the West, but rather to return to their spiritual roots in the Vedas.
Dear Srila Prabhupada, you have given us everything we need to lead a perfect life in full Krishna
Consciousness. Please help me to embrace your instructions and help spread your glories throughout all
of India and the rest of the world. Please help me contribute to the mission of this wonderful temple as it
purifies your eternal movement and prepares to lead the world into the golden age as you have
predicted.
Thank you, thank you, and thank you for your eternal mercy on this most fallen soul.
Your fallen and insignificant servant,
Chaitanya-Rupa dasa
Puranjana Dasa, San Francisco, USA
I decided to combine my 2011 Vyasa Puja Offering to Srila Prabhupada with my report on the 2011 San
Francisco Rathayatra festival.
Dear Srila Prabhupada, here is my vyasa pooja offering and report on your 2011 Ratha Festival, offered
at your feet: "I offer my respectful obeisances unto His Divine Grace AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila
Prabhupada, who is very dear to Lord Krishna on this earth, having taken shelter of His lotus feet."
San Francisco is my "power center" in terms of Krishna consciousness because this is where I first met
Srila Prabhupada here in 1970. I was helping with the preparations for the Rathayatra festival and had
the good fortune to work on projects with some of the dearmost servants of Srila Prabhupada such as
Jayananda prabhu. There was a little temple here on Frederick Street and Srila Prabhupada came to give
a class. All the devotees poured into the temple and so I was left standing outside the door, but
VyasaPuja2011

fortunately this was a dutch door, so I was able to lean over the door and hear the class. After the class
Srila Prabhupada emerged outside and he looked over at me, and I looked back, and I felt connected to
him and I accepted him as my guru in my heart.
Later on, I was formally initiated and he gave me the name "Puranjana dasa." I asked him what that
name meant and he said, "You will find out everything later" and so I was a little bit worried about what
that name might actually mean. Later on, Srila Prabhupada's "story of King Puranjana" was published
and so I began to read the story over and over. As it turns out, Puranjana was a king who had become
too attached to his queen. As a result, when King Puranjan died, he became a woman in his next life.
Fortunately, in his next life -- as a woman -- King Puranjana was able to realize Krishna and he became
liberated.
The "Puranjana story" also has an intricate discussion about how the disciple and the spiritual master
can become connected on a very intimate spiritual level, something like a husband and a wife. There is
no other writing made by Srila Prabhupada that we know of that details this connection between the
master and the disciple in this intimate manner. That part of the story is very intriguing in itself.
However, at the end of the story of Puranjana we find Srila Prabhupada discussing how, when the
spiritual master departs, there is -- all of a sudden -- an out-cropping of bogus yogis, gurus, swamis and
avatars who will artifically try to fill the vacuum of the departed spiritual master. And therefore it is the
duty of the sincere disciples to rectify this dis-orderly condition.
So I was a little worried even in 1974, "What will happen after Srila Prabhupada departs? Will there be
chaos in the name of bogus gurus, and will I be involved in that disaster"? I felt that the name
"Puranjana" was thus connected to the chaos after he departs, and so I kept asking "Has anyone else got
the name Puranjana yet"? Well, not yet. Actually, no one else ever got that name. And sure enough, just
after he departed, the chaos of the over 200 bogus gurus emerged. So I was able to take great relief from
the fact that Srila Prabhupada had fore-warned me of this problem, as he had sort of "armed me with
knowledge of the future" -- that this "guru" crisis was about to evolve, and this was all connected to the
story of "Puranjana." And so, after Srila Prabhupada departed in 1977, I decided to try to tackle this
problem based on his personal direction to me from the story of King Puranjana that "it is the duty of
the sincere disciples" to counteract these bogus guru out-croppings.
This bogus guru problem is his clearly stated prediction: "After I am gone there will be chaos." Of
course, most of us really did not know how deep rooted and insidious that chaos would be, most of us
simply could not have imagined how devious these leaders could become. At the same time, clearly, Srila
Prabhupada was counting on all of us rank and file followers of his Krishna consciousness movement --
to remedy any problems that might evolve. He was not simply leaving the entire duty to remedy the
bogus guru's problem into the hands of merely one lowly devotee named Puranjana, rather he was really
telling each and all of his followers to beware of these false prophets that would be appearing just after
his departure. And that is why he published this warning in the story of King Puranjana, so that ALL of
his followers could read this book and be part of the process of helping rectify the "bogus guru's
problem" that he predicted would occur in his society just after his departure.
Unfortunately, what happened was: just after Srila Prabhupada departed, many of my important
ISKCON God brothers compromised with the bogus gurus, and they attacked my efforts to rectify the
problems. Simultaneously, many other God brothers simply abandoned the mission of Srila Prabhupada,
and they refused to help us expose the corruption and rectify the problems. Most of these folks sort of
merged back into the material world. This left only a few of us "dissenting protestors" without much
help in rectifying the problems. Therefore, we had to use some very extreme language and tactics to
counteract these bogus gurus, and I hereby apologize to anyone who has been offended by our "atom
bomb" techniques.

VyasaPuja2011

However, our techniques are working, and thus more and more people are rejecting these bogus gurus
and they are taking shelter of Srila Prabhupada at this point in time, as we see all over the globe and as
we saw evidenced at the San Francisco Rathayatra this year. None of these bogus gurus was being
worshipped this year, in fact none of them even lectured, and so most of the devotees went to the tent
where Srila Prabhupada's murti was and they were chanting to him and not at all to any of these bogus
gurus. Meanwhile, we are creating this same mood all over the planet with a brand new wave of younger
disciples of Srila Prabhupada.
More and more "new" people are being initiated as your direct disciples Srila Prabhupada, in places like
India, Malaysia, New Zealand and so on, thus our program to promote you as the acharya is working,
whether people like our techniques or not. And now some of your devotees are planning on making a
new center here in the USA, so your worship is expanding Srila Prabhupada.
In other words, the first wave of post-1977 "infallible pure devotee GBC gurus" wave is crashing on the
beach. The second wave of messiahs, the post 1986 "2/3 show of hands voted in gurus" is gradually
being forced to admit that they are NOT infallible gurus, rather they are highly fallible "representatives"
under the control of a managerial body. So the ISKCON leaders are gradually adopting the ritvik system
that Srila Prabhupada ordered, and the system that we are promoting. The upshot is -- that Srila
Prabhupada is gradually getting the proper focus of worship and attention that these usurpers tried to
hijack. As Srila Prabhupada says, bogus gurus are like fiery comets and meteors that make a big flash in
the sky -- temporarily, but then these comets fizzle out and the full moon of the actual acharya continues
to shine and act as the supreme luminary. This change of mood is occuring gradually all over ISKCON as
the bogus guru comets keep crashing and burning to ashes. In short, our Prabhupadanuga idea is
winning.
Lord Jesus Christ had to confront "money changers in the temple," people who were exploiting the
temple for profit. And this has been occuring at your Rathayatras Srila Prabhupada. We have had the
"Satsvarupa Das Goswami" book table, selling books that say "I have to battle constantly with doubts
that Krishna is a myth" and "the more I chant the drier it gets" and so on. Indeed, we have had all kinds
of these bogus "guru's" foolish books and tape ministries displayed here over the past years. This year
was not so bad, we only had Danavir and his bogus books, and some of the books Danavir hijacked from
Kusakratha dasa. Incidentally Kusakratha dasa told me these GBC gurus are mostly "totally bogus
homosexuals, womanizers and pot smokers."
Of course Vaisesika is always promoting your changed books, edited by Vaisesika's worshipable hero
Jayadvaita swami. Why? Because Jayadvaita swami says that Krishna's successor acharyas are "engaged in
illicit sex with men, women and children," and thus Vaisesika has been one of the main exponents of
this deviated apa-philosophy for the past 35 years. As soon as some deviant like Jayadvaita swami says
"Lord Krishna's successors are engaged in illicit sex -- even with children," people like Vaisesika are
licking their boots thinking this is the greatest idea ever produced for humankind. The good news? So
many people want your original books now Srila Prabhupada, Vaisesika's changed books are losing
popularity.
As we all know, you Srila Prabhupada have said that even dogs do not engage in illicit sex with men,
women and children, so Vaisesika is basically saying Krishna's direct line of acharyas are not even as
advanced as dogs. I simply cannot imagine the dark future of these people like Vaisesika who are saying
that dogs are more advanced than God's guru lineage. At this stage, I simply pity them for making these
tremendous insults to Krishna and His acharyas. Even the most mundane atheists hesitate to say that
God's successors are having illicit sex with men, women and children, because at least these atheists
have some minimal respect for God, unlike the vicious attackers of God like Vaisesika dasa and his ilk.
As Sulochana used to always say, people like Danavir and Vaisesika are not advanced enough to worship
dogs, because dogs are not having illicit sex with children like their bogus acharyas program.
VyasaPuja2011

Danavir dasa was here with his "One ISKCON" leaflet, where he criticizes both the GBC gurus and us
Prabhupadanugas. Danavir is another person who has self appointed himself to the role of -- "enforcer
and advisor" to the acharyas. Danavir is very upset with Krishna who says He ALONE directs the
acharyas as the "chaitya guru in the heart." Thus Danavir now challenges Krishna's authority and
Danavir kicks Krishna out the door because he claims he is going to take over God's position of dictating
to the acharyas. This is amazing, Danavir actually thinks he can "do a better job of dictating to the
acharyas," than GOD almighty is doing! Of course if we read Krishna book, we will find that there were
a number of similar people who thought they could do a better job than Krishna, so they joined Kamsa
in saying -- Krishna cannot do a good job, they can do better.
Incidentally, the "ISKCON Ideology" articles promoted by Danavir are being written by Krishna Kirti
dasa (Christopher Shannon), who rejected his ISKCON guru Hrdayananda. Krishna Kirti writes: "For
many years I have been an initiated disciple of Hridayananda Goswami. However, on account of recent
news of his blessing of homosexual nuptials and his less than straightforward response to the devotee
community about his involvement, I have formally ended my relationship with him as his disciple.
(Krishna Kirti Das, 15/02/2009).
In short, Danavir's main writer is now saying in public that the GBC's gurus are bogus. The amazing
thing is that Danavir is actually promoting our idea indirectly, he is saying in public that these post-1977
gurus are hoaxes. And he is encouraging people to reject their GBC appointed gurus. So this is all
helping -- us! My dear Srila Prabhupada, you explained how the demons sometimes become bewildered
and they actually help the vaishnavas, so this is a good example. Danavir says he wants to defeat your
worship, instead he ends up giving US the best arguments for your continued worship!
Yet Danavir has never explained why in 1978 he forced the devotees of ISKCON, and their tender small
children, to worship his homosexual child molester guru lineage in the first place? And isn't this how
Danavir made ISKCON become divided from square one? Danavir's policy is also how he got thousands
of children molested, and subsequently most of these poor second generation ex-children devotees
became alienated from ISKCON due to Danavir's policy -- that they have to worship perverts as their
acharyas. Who authorized Danavir to orchestrate the mass molesting of thousands Srila Prabhupada's
children by Danavir's forcing these ISKCON children to worship child molesters as their acharyas? He
never explains? And how will ISKCON "become one" as long as Danavir's policy is that the Lord's
successors are behaving worse than dogs? Danavir first of all divided ISKCON into hundreds of bogus
guru camps, now he says he wants to keep the bogus guru camps, and still unite everyone? This is
hypocrisy.
In sum, the Danavir's team has been promoting the worship of illicit sex with men, women and children
as God's divine acharyas, and in this way Danavir is one of the key persons who divided the mission of
Krishna into separated bogus guru cults. Again, how can we become "one ISKCON" by worshipping all
of Danavir's hundreds of bogus gurus that he concocted after 1978? Why has he never answered this
question since 1978? Danavir's folks also said that the reason people accepted Danavir's bogus gurus is
that "they wanted to be cheated." Danavir is thus saying: he has been authorized to enforce the worship
of child molester acharyas upon Srila Prabhupada's dearmost five year old gurukula children. Danavir
was one of the key persons who vociferously opened up the poor ISKCON children's mouths, then
Danavir put a big giant funnel into their mouths, then he poured in tons of homosexual pedophile
worship down the throats of these poor children by force, thus these children were starved, beaten and
molested, and this is all because -- "they wanted to be cheated" -- by Mr. Danavir?
When did these children say they wanted to be cheated by Mr. Danavir? This is simply layers upon
layers of Danavir's lies. In short, Danavir is trying to blame YOU Srila Prabhupada for all the molesting,
murder and chaos that HE CREATED. Srila Prabhupada, you said there would be chaos, and now we
know WHO would cause this chaos, people like Danavir and his bogus gurus program. That
innocent people "wanted" these bogus gurus is the same identical idea BV Narayana Maharaja says, he
also joined Danavir and forced the children to worship pedophiles. Then BV NM said, "Too bad, so
VyasaPuja2011

what, who cares, the children of SRILA PRABHUPADA just got their karma." Except, who authorized
Danavir and Narayana Maharaja to create a mass molesting bogus guru cult to attack the children of
SRILA PRABHUPADA in the first place?
No wonder many of these children are now clinically depressed and a number of them have commited
suicide and so on. Danavir is using the methods of all "child molester enablers" and notice he "blames
the victims," just like actual child molesters blame their victims. When exactly did these children who
all belong to SRILA PRABHUPADA tell Danavir they wanted him to create a policy for them to be
molested, beaten, starved and killed from medical neglect? Sorry these children did not "want to be
cheated," rather Danavir wanted to cheat them, and so he crushed most of them to their spiritual death,
and now he is proud of that. The good news is: more and more people are becomming aware of the
Danavir mass molester guru program and they are rejecting him as a representative of you Srila
Prabhupada.
Nrsinghananda dasa (ITV) was also there with his book table. He does at least some good service by
distributing Srila Prabhupada's paraphernalia. At the same time, Nrsinghananda dasa has self appointed
himself as another "supreme grand wizard advisor to the acharyas." For example, he writes letters to the
Sampradaya Sun complaining that the ISKCON acharyas are all promoting Satsvarupa and his whakcy
writings and so forth. This means that Nrsinghananda thinks the acharyas are his subordinates. Srila
Prabhupada says the entire guru parampara from Krishna is getting personal dictation from Krishna,
whereas Nrsinghananada and his ilk think Krishna is too stupid and foolish to manage His acharyas,
thus Nrsinghananda has to take over Krishna's job of "managing the acharyas."
In other words, Nrsinghananada dasa publicly claims he is superior to God almighty, because he
publicly chastises the Lord's acharyas, or at least he chastises the people Nrsinghananada says are his
acharyas. Of course this is identical to Danavir's position, that Krishna is too stupid to manage His
acharyas and so they have to take over the job from Krishna. These people are all peas in a PADA.
Nrsinghananda also sometimes says that the fallen GBC gurus were "giving initiations" and these
initiations are still valid, despite the guru fell away. Wait a minute, a person is having illicit sex with
men, women and children, he then puts on an orange robe, he tosses and banana into a fire, and the
disciple's sins have been "absorbed like Jesus absorbs sins" ... by the person engaged in illicit sex? Which
scriptures state any of this anywhere? This is simply another boots in the face attack upon Jesus by
Nrsinghananda and his pals. People who engaged in illicit sex are "diksha gurus" who can absorb sins
like Jesus? This is exactly what Rocana says as well, so all these deviants think God's acharyas are sex
mongers, drug addicts, and fallen village drunks. As you said SRILA PRABHUPADA, they have no
respect for the acharyas, so they are destined for the most obnoxious regions of the universe! We could
say, may God have mercy on their souls. However, since these people give no mercy even to small
children, why should God give them any mercy in return?
And over time there has been hundreds of people like Nrsinghananda, Bir Krishna, Danavir, Rocana,
Badrinarayan, Svavasa, Sura, literally hundreds of my other God brothers who have ALL taken the same
position of saying that Krishna is too stupid to manage His acharyas, since they are constantly taking up
the post of being the teachers, superiors, advisors, judges, overseers, and rulers of the acharyas, and they
are thus criticizing, advising, censuring, making rude and lewd jokes about, their "acharyas."
So this is a brand new out-cropping itself, Sridhara Maharaja, Narayana Maharaja and their disciples like
Nrsinghananda have been "advising" the acharyas since 1977, because their idea is that God is such a
fool, He has lost control of his direct external manifestation as the acharya, so they are taking over the
post of God and they are the new boss of the "shaksat Hari tvena" gurus. Again Srila Prabhupada, their
idea is also crashing on the beach, hardly anyone accepts that these fools are the "superior advisors" to
God and His messiahs. They are simply looking like braying asses more and more every day.
Nor is their idea that deviants engaged in illicit sex with men, women and children are capable of "giving
diksha" -- and thus being another sin absorbing Jesus -- making much headway.
VyasaPuja2011

Their idea is disintegrating before our eyes, thus we see their big acharyas no longer even come forward
to defend these bogus ideas, they have left that odious job to their psychophants, paid up lackeys, and
various enforcers and slaves of the molester messiahs program. Thus Sridhara Maharaja, Narayana
Maharaja and all of Nrsinghananda's best friends are saying acharyas are mad after illicit sex, drugs,
money and followers. Therefore according to their idea, the acharyas under Krishna's controls are fools,
because Krishna is a fool. None of this is new, these veda-vada-ratas are described in the Vedas as fools
who elect one of their group as their acharya, and then they "manage" their acharyas -- into a sort of
guru business.
Again, the good news is that most people are now seeing these people as the total fools they are, they are
so puffed up they think they are the boss of the Krishna and his acharyas! Lets face it, these people like
Nrsinghananda, Danavir, Svavasa, Hrdayananda, Nirantara, and so many of these types of people, they
always seem to have nice big fancy cars, nice houses, a lot of money, hence -- this is all about their
making money by saying dog's behavior is more advanced than pure gurus like Jesus, they have made a
sort of guru business out of insulting the pure devotees of God.
Shastra says these veda vada ratas, those who make these bogus illicit sex acharyas, they would be better
off to have never even heard of the Vedas since their future is worse than the ordinary mundane man's.
Yes, all of these bhogus gurus and their advocates like Danavir, Nrsinghananda, Svavasa, et al. they were
all stuffing their faces with giant feasts while the children of SRILA PRABHUPADA were being starved
and forced to eat rotten oatmeal covered with green mold, until these poor children vomited. This whole
bogus "guru" issue is, was, and always will be, all about making tons of money. It still is, this cadre of
molester gurus and their dedicated apologists like Nrsinghananda are making money from all this. And
that always was and still is their real objective. They will say a dog is more advanced than the acharyas,
because it makes them tons of money, they have no concern for ISKCON, the children, the devotees,
nothing, they only wanted money all along just like the GAUDIYA MATHA's gurus were simply "a
money making business."
My dear Srila Prabhupada, I thank you profusely for saving me from taking any hijacked dollars soaked
with your blood from these vultures. I was saved from going to the most obnoxious regions along with
this cadre by your grace. I simply have my head on the floor crying in great happiness and relief that you
saved me from the future hellish conditions that will be shared by these assembled crooks and thieves.
Krishna's ACTUAL acharyas are often assistants of the gopis, and yet these Nrsinghananda fools are now
saying they are the new boss of Krishna and these gopi acharyas? So they are simply exposing themselves
as fools every time they write, of course -- notice they barely write at all nowadays because everytime
they do write, they look like the asses they are. So we could not help but notice, not many people were
listening to these people this year at Rathayatra, their influence is diminishing. Of course, if these people
want to go down in history as the senior cheer leading / enforcers / advisors to their -- "enforced cult
ritualistic worship of homosexual pedophile acharyas project," they are welcome to take that title. I am
welcome to take the title of being their opponent.
My dear Srila Prabhupada, all of this has been an immense blessing in disguise for me personally. All of
this has forced me to meditate on who the acharyas actually are, in order that I could try to defend the
acharyas. As it turns out, the acharyas are very great personalities like Lord Brahma, Arjuna, while some
of them are none other than "the assistants of the gopis." That means: the gopis and their assistants are
not foolish sentimentalists, nor are they spiritual weaklings who avoid confronting bogus rascal guru
imitators. All of these great acharyas in your line are the most intelligent of all beings in the universe,
and they are the boldest spiritual fighters. I hereby offer my prostrated obeisances to all of these divine
acharyas like your good self. Its actually amazing that no one can defeat the "assistants to the gopis" in
scriptural argumentation, because the assistants to the gopis are full of supreme knowledge, they are
brave warriors for the truth and the ultimate personal examples of all the Vedic teachings. I pray that
you give me a drop of their mercy upon my head.
VyasaPuja2011

I offer my respectful obeisances to Srimate Kunti Devi, who said she was amazed how she was protected,
despite so many calamaties, and she even welcomed such calamaties since this made her think more of
Lord Krishna. Similarly, the sincere disciples of Srila Prabhupada were attacked by so many similar
calamaties. The giant vulture false gurus first of all ate up most of your devotees; Then your gurukula
children; Then they attacked and sold most of the farms -- and put the cows into distress; Then they
closed and sold a number temples; Then they bankrupted ISKCON; Then they put many deities into
sub-standard ghetto housing situations, and of course they ate up millions of your dollars in the process,
and in sum they did everything they possibly could think of to destroy your mission, just as you had
predicted -- these same false guru out croppings destroyed the Gaudiya Matha after 1936.
My dear Srila Prabhupada! Certainly, such giant vultures with millions of dollars and thousands of
dedicated followers could have easily gobbled down a teeny little stink bug like me, in less than a
second. However, you must have requested the Lord to save this little stink bug because there is no way
that I'd be "alive and well" at this point in time without your divine assistance. I am shedding tears of joy
that you took such good care of this little stink bug. Did I forget to mention? I am a jolly stink bug
thanks to you!
Srila Prabhupada you said that the false gurus of the Gaudiya Matha are jackals. Such jackals and
Kamsa's servant demons are always trying to sneak their way into the sacred Vrndavana garden, where
you and other great acharyas, pure devotees, and assistants of the gopis are residing, to try to hijack your
seat in that divine garden. It therefore seems you have mainly given me the job of taking a broomstick to
chase out these jackals from your divine garden residence. Some of your disciples have chastised me,
that I am making too much disturbance by chasing out these jackals. However, neither you nor none of
the bona fide acharyas has ever tolerated ANY rascal jackals posing as acharyas and assistants of the
gopis, EVER! So you have set the standards for us teeny and insignificant servants of these divine beings
in the garden of the acharya's sabha. I am simply trying to follow in your footsteps of having "zero
tolerance" for bogus gurus trying to hijack divine positions. By your grace, we are having greater and
greater success at exposing all these jackal gurus because it is your mercy that has made us successful. By
your grace I got your last will document, the appointment tape, your letters, the poison tapes, everything
was handed to me on a platter by your mercy. You have helped me at every step!
My dear Srila Prabhupada, I am feeling Vaikuntha joy at serving your lotus feet by offering your worship
to others as their guru. I thank you for sending me such nice association of so many other
Prabhupadanuga devotees like Yasodananda dasa, Madhu Pandit dasa, and many hundreds of others
who have joined in the batle against the vulture acharyas that tried to steal your seat, and eat me up as
well. As you have said, even if we can convert just one other person into a pure devotee, our path back
to Krishna is guaranteed. We are making at present many hundreds of your devotees, and so we hope
this will please your grace and allow us to enter the garden where you are residing to be one of the
blades of grass there. I hope my head becomes a resting place for the feet of these great souls.
Our love for you will be shown by how we cooperate. And at present we have hundreds of devotees all
cooperating to promote you as the factual acharya. By your grace Srila Prabhupada, I am simply trying
now to really understand the mood of you and the other residents of Vrdnavana so that I can get your
mercy. The wives of the brahmanas left all their material possessions, families and everything to
surrender to Lord Krishna's feet. May I have one drop of their mercy! Some of the gopis left their bodies
when they were restrained from seeing the Lord. May I have one drop of their mercy! Thanks again and
again Srila Prabhupada for your for giving me strength, encouragement, and no small amount of
protection in this battle. Factually, I should have been killed a long time ago, but was only allowed to
continue soley by your mercy. You have shown me so much love, I am trying to reciprocate but find
myself remembering the story of Krishna writing the gopis, He said, I cannot repay your love. I also
cannot repay what you have given me. All glories to you Srila Prabhupada! By your grace Krishna is
soothing my brain and making me feel very happy, and by your grace and by Krishna's grace, I hope to
live up to my title as "Puranjana dasa."
VyasaPuja2011

Puranjana dasa
Samapriya Devi Dasi, USA
I am not a brhmaa, I am not a katriya, I am not a vaiya or a dra. Nor am I a brahmacr, a
householder, a vnaprastha or a sannys. I identify Myself only as the servant of the servant of the
servant of the lotus feet of Lord r Ka, the maintainer of the gops. He is like an ocean of nectar, and
He is the cause of universal transcendental bliss. He is always existing with brilliance.CC Madhya13.80
My dear revered and beloved spiritual master Srila Prabhupada, you are a most exalted paramahamsa
sailing gracefully through the material world. You are untouched by the chaos created by the modes of
nature, which are in constant flux. You wield the material energy like the conductor of a grand
symphony orchestra, and with complete control you use it to serve Krsna in every way, at your
command.
No one can know the profound meanings of the characteristics or activities of a Vaishnava, for he cannot
be materially designated.
Are you a brahamana Srila Prabhupada?
You are the teacher, of the world, the undisturbed acharya, delivering the king of knowledge, the science
of Krsna.
O Chief of the Kuru dynasty, the Vedic wisdom became manifested from the mouth of the virat, the
gigantic form. Those who are inclined to the Vedic knowledge are called brahmanas, and they are the
natural teachers and spiritual masters of all the orders of society. SB 3.6.30
Peacefulness, self-control, austerity, purity, tolerance, honesty, knowledge, wisdom and religiousness
these are the natural qualities by which the brahmanas work. BG 18.42
Though you are in possession of all of these qualities, they become feeble in the presence of your
sublime character. No material designation, which only serves to limit your transcendental qualities, can
be used to describe you. Therefore, how can you be a brahmana? You are the topmost sublime person,
you are the servant of Krsna.
Are you a ksatriya Srila Prabhupada?
You are the most competent and revered commander in Lord Caitanyas Sankirtan army, having
organized a great tsunami of transcendental literature to spread throughout the world. You sent your
troops armed with yoga, to loosen Mayas grip on thousands of conditioned souls drowning in her wake.
You are the Lords champion and will be glorified for all time.
Heroism, power, determination, resourcefulness, courage in battle, generosity and leadership are the
natural qualities of work of the ksatriyas. BG 18.43
Though all these qualities become glorified in your person Srila Prabhupada, you are not a ksatriya. How
can you be designated by any material means? You are the topmost sublime person, and the eternal
servant of Krsna.
Farming, cow protection and business are the natural work for the vaiyas, and for the dras there is
labor and service to others. BG 18.44:
Are you are vaisya Srila Prabhupada?
You established farm communities all over the world and your followers continue to do so upon your
order to establish Varna-ashrama. You established the BBT, the pulse of your Brihat Mrdanga. Your
books are sold daily in the thousands all over the world, translated into more than 60 languages. This is
Krsnas business and you are His CEO. You were noted by CNN, as one of the top 10 famous people of
the world who launched a Career, after the age of 50.
VyasaPuja2011

You started goshalas in many of your major centers and thousands of cows under the banner of your
name are being protected.
You have performed all this devotional service to Krsna. But, you are not a vaisya. You are Krsnas
dearmost servant and remain always beyond any material designation.
Thereafter, service was manifested from the legs of the Personality of Godhead for the sake of perfecting
the religious function. Situated on the legs are the dras, who satisfy the Lord by service. SB 3.6.33:
How could one possibly call you a sudra Srila Prabhupada , when you are the greatest of all human
beings? But you taught us that no work was beneathe a devotee to perform for the service of Krsna. In
Bhakti yoga the foundational principle is ones service attitude.
We can see that though you are in possession of all the good qualities of all the varnas no one can call
you a brahmana, a ksatriya, a vaisya or a sudra. You are transcendental to all of these designations and
your qualities cannot be put into mundane terms.
Can you be categorized by any of the ashrams?
Are You a brahmacari?
Prahlada Maharaj said: One who is sufficiently intelligent should use the human form of body from the
very beginning of life in other words, from the tender age of childhood to practice the activities of
devotional service, giving up all other engagements. SB 7.6.1:
In the purport to SB 7.6.9 you said:
From the very beginning, a brahmachari trained to sacrifice everything for the benefit of the guru. A
brahmachari is advised to go begging alms door to door, addressing all women as mother, and whatever
he collects goes to the benefit of the guru. In this way he learns how to control his senses and sacrifice
everything for the guru.
You shared with us your youthful desires to perform the grand Rathyatra festival through the streets of
Calcutta. As a result of that childhood aspiration you established Rathyatra festivals in all the major
cities of the world.
All your work, sacrifices and endeavors were dutifully performed on the order of your spiritual master
and you presented everything as a humble offering to his lotus feet. You never took credit for any of it,
but made it known that nothing could have been done were it not for the causeless mercy of your
beloved spiritual master. Are these not the qualities of a Brhamacari?
A ghastha must associate again and again with saintly persons, and with great respect he must hear the
nectar of the activities of the Supreme Lord and His incarnations as these activities are described in
rmad-Bhagavatam and other Puras. Thus one should gradually become detached from affection for
his wife and children, exactly like a man awakening from a dream. SB 7.14.3-4:
How can you be a Grihasta Srila Prabhupada?
You took the sannyasa order of life and gave up your family of wife, sons and daughters. But who are we
Srila Prabhupada? We are not only your disciples, who have given ourselves as best we could for all of
these years, to your service and your glorious mission. We are your eternal sons and daughters and we
are fully dependent upon you. We look to you for everything Srila Prabhupada, for guidance and
knowledge and encouragement and the Absolute Truth. We look to you for the goal of our lives and
pure love for Krsna. You are not a grhasta but we are your dependent children and have no other shelter.
We are your family and this has become our identity having given up everything else.
Are you a vanaprasta Srila Prabhupada?
A vnaprastha should prepare a thatched cottage or take shelter of a cave in a mountain only to keep
the sacred fire, but he should personally practice enduring snowfall, wind, fire, rain and the shining of
the sun. SB 7.12.20:
VyasaPuja2011

Being very thoughtful, a vnaprastha should remain in the forest for twelve years, eight years, four
years, two years or at least one year. He should behave in such a way that he will not be disturbed or
troubled by too much austerity. SB 7.12.22:
Srila Prabhupada, you came to the western world on the Jaladuta enduring great suffering on the order
of your spiritual master to give the poor fallen conditioned souls a chance to become free. Places like
New York City and San Franscisco are like unto great jungles with many dangerous wild animals
disguised as human beings. Driven by a profound determination to serve Lord Caitanya, you fearlessly
entered these capitol cities of Mayadesh. You willingly endured severe snow, rain, subways and the
uncontrolled senses of sub human beings. All this you endured from 1965 to 1977- 12 years. In this time
you gave us all life and established Krsna within our hearts creating a world religion from the Bowery to
Siberia. All glories to your magnanimous efforts and their spectacular results. You are truly the savior of
the fallen. All glories to Lord Caitanyas mercy upon us all. Thank-you Thank-you Thank-you! Srila
Prabhupada!
r Nrada Muni said: A person able to cultivate spiritual knowledge should renounce all material
connections, and merely keeping the body inhabitable, he should travel from one place to another,
passing only one night in each village. In this way, without dependence in regard to the needs of the
body, the sannys should travel all over the world. SB 7.13.1:
Surely you must be a sannyasi Srila Prabhupada.
You encircled the globe of the earth 14 times preaching tirelessly and establishing the movement of Sri
Caitanya Mahaprabhu. Crossing the ocean, you had your 70
th
birthday at sea. This astounding feat was
only the beginning of what was to be the foundation of the International Society for Krsna
Consciousness. You inaugurated a movement of hope and truth which lifted the lives of the unfulfilled
youth of America and later the world. But what sannyasi was known to ever cross the ocean? This was
unheard of thus far in Vedic culture.
You accepted women into your society and trained them as preachers, to distribute your books of
transcendental knowledge side by side with their godbrothers. In the service of your divine mission you
accepted all souls and engaged them in devotional service of the Lord.
A sannys must not present allurements of material benefits to gather many disciples, nor should he
unnecessarily read many books or give discourses as a means of livelihood. He must never attempt to
increase material opulences unnecessarily. SB 7.13.8:
How did you attract us Srila Prabhupada? You did not offer material benefits and riches. No. You asked
us to come and join you, to sleep on the floor with no furniture, and eat on the floor with no utensils.
You asked us to rise early in the morning, and to live very simply, giving up false ego and to get along
with each other. You asked us to partake in the Sankirtan Movement of Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu, and
go out daily to chant the glories of Sri Krsna and distribute your books. In doing that we had to learn to
withstand the taunts of the envious, as we approached souls on the streets, in the airports, bus and train
stations and state fairs around the world. Wherever people gathered we distributed you transcendental
books and our only payment was that you would be pleased with our endeavors.
Srila Prabhupada, you are transcendental to all material designations and though the qualities of all the
varnas and ashrams can be found glorified in your character, you are indeed none of these. You are the
servant of the servant of the servant of the lotus feet of Lord Krsna, the maintainer of the gopis. I pray to
remain your servant knowing that as my only identity. For you are everything to me and I identify with
nothing but you.
Your eternal daughter, Samapriya devi dasi

Bhakta Bharath
How Could I repay you Srila Prabhupada
Dear Srila Prabhupada ,
Please accept this fallen soul dandavat pranams at your lotus feet! Please accept a small offering from
this unqualified disciple on your divine appearance day.
Few years ago, I was very much engaged in karmic activities, and indulged in all kinds of sinful deeds.
But your Divine Grace had showed special mercy towards this fallen soul, and you had pulled me out
from sinful life, and showed me the real goal of life i.e Vasudeva para Gatih.
If you had not come from spiritual world, if you had not started this transcendental movement
ISKCON, and if you had not written transcendental literatures, I would have been rotted in this material
pool for ever. Its just your causeless mercy what I am today. How could I repay you in one life time?? I
beg at your lotus feet that please engage me in your service birth after birth.
Only your Divine Grace can kindle the spirituality in the heart of ordinary living being through your
institutions; Only your divine grace imparts the transcendental knowledge in the heart of conditional
beings through your books, Only your divine grace purifies the consciousness of badda Jivas through
your words.
Neither I want to get liberated or nor I want to go back to spiritual world, but I have only one desire is
that i long for your service, please empower me to spread your mission. Your movement never depends
on any jiva but you can inspire anyone and make them instruments in your service if you desire. You
have given me qualification and you have given me access to know about Chaitanya Maha Prabhu,
without your mercy how I could serve Gauranga Sankirtan Yajna ?
When I was away from all devotee community for 2 years, I had experienced your presence at every
moment through your transcendental books, Guru camp says that you are not physically present , how
could you guide ? Unfortunately they are not aware of simple fact that you have come to this mortal
world on the order of Gauranga , how could they restrict you at gross level . Even when Krishna was
physically present in dwapara yuga, not everyone recognized his position. Now history repeats the same
and your senior disciples had failed to recognize your transcendental position that you can inspire,
guide, and deliver them from any stage of life.
You have been witnessing all mischief activities were done by so-called GURUS, but you have been still
kind of them so that they have been surviving and they still became successful. But they forgot the fact
that you are the source of their success
Even though I am not a well qualified disciple of your divine grace, but You have been so kind to me,
continuously giving me more opportunities to serve your mission. As a result of your causeless mercy, I
have been able to serve our HKM Tirupati and HKM Hyderabad centers. Two years ago, we have started
HKM Tirupati center in a house, now we have moved to 3 story building, and started youth preaching to
bring younger generations at your lotus feet. Please engage me as you desire.
Sometimes Krishna sends his confidential servitors to reestablish religious principles in this universe.
Since we are in full of darkness, He had personally sent you to deliver us. But Krishnas illusionary
energy is very difficult to overcome when we disobey your instructions, but since your senior disciples
disobeyed your divine instructions, they got attracted to Dhanam, Janam, and Sundarim. They have
deviated from spiritual standards.
In 1965, Your have arrived at Boston to start ISKCON, and Now Your divine grace had chosen us
(ISKCON Bangalore) to reestablish your mission as it was in 1970s. I am still wondering how fortunate I
am, I think this is called as Causeless Mercy.
As part of reestablishing your mission, now you have chosen Bay Area in west. We are like small
children, how could we take this huge responsibility. But At the age of 5 years, Dhruva maharaj had
performed sever austerities to please the supreme Lord, he became successful because he had taken and
VyasaPuja2011

followed instructions of his Guru Maharaj Narada muni as life and soul. We are cognizant of our
positions and we are always helpless like small child, we beg you to provide us what we lack, and keep
us at your lotus feet. And we have been trying to show that whole world how pure devotee does the
miracles through his surrendered loyal agents. Our only our strength is YOU Srila Prabhupada.

My humble dandavat pranams to your lotus feet.
This past year I have experienced extra-ordinary mercy from you. You know it better. I don't even know
why and how I am eligible for such a mercy from you. Some times I get a feeling that I might have done
some thing in my past life either knowingly or unknowingly which might have pleased you. My only
qualification now (or ever) has been a burning desire to please you. This is not a puffed up statement. I
mean it from my heart, and you know it. I sincerely pray to you to keep that desire burning life after life,
and guide me on the right path. In spite of your unlimited mercy, I am still attached to so many material
things and they are pulling me down every now and often. You have so kindly saved me from so many
anarthas and fall-downs in so many situations and still I am unable to completely take shelter of you and
I am feeling that I am unable to meet your expectations on me. I had a realization that it is not an easy
thing or an ordinary thing to become even an insignificant instrument in your transcendental hands. If I
am able to some how or other become an able instrument in your hands, that will enable me (or any
one) to achieve wonderful things that you dreamed of on this planet. Only then I will consider my life
successful. Please, please always guide me so that I can be a nice instrument in your hands. By karma,
my material body has not been gifted with a good intelligence to execute nice projects. Nor I have good
narrating & preaching skills. You know it very well. I consider this to be my biggest weakness in
becoming your able instrument. I sincerely pray to you to some how or other give me necessary
intelligence to execute whatever you want to execute through me, even though I myself am incapable of
doing it. Please give me enough tolerance to withstand material tribulations and become steadfast in
practicing Krishna consciousness. Please enable me to save myself and many other conditioned souls by
bringing them to your lotus feet. This is a great opportunity to put down my thoughts in writing. I want
to go on and on expressing my helplessness and insignificance and about your magnanimity and mercy
on me, but I have to stick to authorities instructions for limiting this offering.

Gurudev! For too long, have we been despairing in this never-ending enigma of birth and death, for too
long, have we ignored the only real and tangible thing in this material world; too long. Thank you for
taking pity and giving us the path out of this misery and despondency. Though we miss your physical
association and presence, we know that you are always there in our hearts and thoughts. Your
enthusiasm and dedication to serve Radha and Krishna inspires us and keeps us motivated in this
VyasaPuja2011

physical separation. We pray to you for your mercy that we may keep serving you. We pray that you
empower us to keep distributing the mercy of Lord Chaitanya to souls suffering in this Kali Yuga. We
pray that you give us strength to overcome material and temporal difficulties and always serve the Lotus
Feet of Radha and Krishna.
Guide us in this age of darkness and maya so that fallen souls like us, may never falter in the struggle
for devotion.
Forever Your servants,

Bhakta Sudhir
On this auspicious day of your appearance I would like to thank you for everything you have given me.
Thank you for your books, letters, lectures, conversations and various other things you left specifically
for us By your causeless mercy, now I know that Lord Krishna is the Supreme Lord, I am his eternal
servant and my only duty is to serve him unconditionally. Before I came in touch with your books, I had
no idea about the purpose of life and aim of life. I was materialistic and wanted good job, money etc.
Later after getting the material things I was looking for, I used to pray to the deities in various temples to
help me get understanding of life and the aim of life. Somehow the Lord showed mercy on me and
inspired me to pick up "Bhagavad Gita As It Is" written by you from a Hindu temple book store. The
moment I started reading it, I knew that my prayers were answered. I was so happy and jubilant to see
that you had written many more books and I can read them too. Reading your books gives me so much
satisfaction and happiness which I couldn't get from anywhere else. You had literally quenched my thirst
for knowledge and given more than what I could expect. You have written the books so nicely that
anyone can easily understand the transcendental subject matter and become well versed in it. I had
realized that you had literally saved me from my material existence which was like a black hole sucking
me in. You were the only one who is capable to save me and you are actually saving me every day.
I have so many shortcomings because of which I am not able to remain Krishna Conscious all the time. I
would like to take this opportunity to beg at your lotus feet to please show some mercy on me. Because
only by your mercy there is any hope for me to progress in Krishna Consciousness. If you show mercy
on me, I can become fixed up in Krishna Consciousness. Unless I become fixed up in Krishna
Consciousness, I cannot act as your true disciple and spread your teachings as per your desire. Please
help me become your true disciple. I have got this opportunity to be a part of a new center coming up in
Sunnyvale, California. Please allow me to do my best to serve your mission at this center.
Thank you once again for everything Srila Prabhupada.
Sudhir
Bhaktin Prasuna
First I want to thank you for giving us pure transcendental knowledge. Before I came in touch with your
followers all I knew about life was to be good and do good and live peacefully till end of life. I had no
proper aim or goal in life. I did not know the meaning or purpose of life. I thought everything happens
by chance. Every thing was just vague. I had no idea about our relationship with God and that Krishna is
God and we are his servants.
After I started associating with your followers, books and lectures I came to know what we are, what is
our position and what is the purpose of this life. I came to know that Krishna is the Supreme Personality
of Godhead and we are his eternal servants and our position is to serve Krishna.
VyasaPuja2011

Our Goal in life is to go back to Krishna and to achieve that goal we have to constantly engage our selves
in Devotional service.
Just to engage in more Devotional service unto the Supreme Personality of Godhead Sri Krishna as per
your instructions we have come here to California. Please show us your mercy and engage me and my
family in more and more Devotional service.
Thank You Srila Prabhupada for everything you have done for us.
Your Servant
Prasuna.
Bhaktin Praveena
Please accept my humble Obeiscances.
When I was a child I knew that GOD exists and powerful but didn't have any clue who is that GOD and
what are his powers and where he stays etc until I got connected to ISKCON. Today when I think back
on how much information I have about the Supreme Personality of Godhead thats all just because of
your special mercy.
I wasn't so fortunate to see you in this life time but as soon as I came to Iskcon I became so eager to
know more and more about your humble self. I was so inspired to know you dedication and pure love
and desire to spread the Krishna Conscious throughout the world. I was spell bound to hear the success
and it was impossible for any one else other than you to do such miracles. Your one and only desire was
to make everyone Krishna Conscious. With your sincere and pure desire you are helping fallen souls like
me to connect to the Supreme Lord. I cannot imagine my position with your causeless mercy, i would
have been drowning in this material world with so many materialistic desires. You have shown us the
real purpose of life is to love Krishna and talk about Krishna.
I personally do not like to read any books but after kept on hearing about your wonderful writings i was
somehow thinking to start reading your books but I didn't put much endeavour. With your causeless
mercy you made me an instrument in distributing your books and after few years of book distribution
you have purified my heart and really motivated to read your books. I am so inspired by your readings
and knowledge you give us about Krishna that I repent why I wasted so many years without reading
your books.
Though you do not know people like me in person but with your books and instructions you kept on
showering special mercy on this mankind. You have done so much to spread this krishna conscious and
we donot have any capability to do anything but we just have blind faith in you that you will surely
guide and help us to be instruments in your mission.
I donot have any desire in this life other than to be a small instrument in your mission. We are taking a
bold step in starting a new center in silicon valley and give everyone the knowledge about Krishna. We
do not have any qualification to do this important task but You are only our strength, knowledge, faith,
hope and everything. I kindly beg for your blessings in the success of this important task. Please shower
your mercy and empower us to spread the Krishna Consciousness throughout the world.

VyasaPuja2011

Bhakta Dasa, Bangkok, Thailand
My Divine Master Srila Prabhupada,
On this sacred day of your appearance in this world I come before you with straw between my teeth,
falling as a stick before you, offering my body, mind and words to you life after life.
Had you not come to the shores of the western world in 1965, humbly obeying the sacred command of
Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Thakur given to you decades before, I can only imagine the fully
condemned life I would have led.
Whatever I know, it is due to you only; whatever I have done wrong is my own disobedience to you.
While you were here, we invited millions of people to come and see you, and to hear from you; but only
a few came, and only a very few surrendered sufficiently to be initiated formally as your disciple. How
fortunate we were to be allowed to recognize you!
Once when we said, All Glory to Your Divine Grace!, you replied, My glory will be when my disciples
are worshiped all over the world. Today there are some who believe that you never wanted your own
disciples to become teachers and accept disciples themselves. That is not what I learned from you, and to
me it is a grace insult to Your Divine Grace.
Of course every disciple forever feels that he is nothing but a firefly in the light of the sun, compared to
your incomparable self, yet, at least we can repeat exactly what you have taught without adding or
subtracting; that much we can do, and in this way the message of Krishna received from you will
continue to spread to every household on this planet.
Srila Prabhupada, by your causeless mercy alone, my faith in you and in Lord Krishna is intact and
implicit after 42 years. The world today is in a hellish position everywhere, and I am convinced beyond
doubt that there are no solutions other than the application of Krishna Consciousness. My humble
prayer at your holy feet today is that you will bless me to remain forever your instrument, and you will
find some service for me always.
Bhakta dasa
Hanuman Dasa, Newzland
Please accept my most humble obeisances on this most auspicious day of your Vyasa-puja. All glories to
you.
In a lecture given in February, 1971 you said:
Because one who has understood Krishna in truth, he is liberated person. Therefore he is guru. Guru
cannot be a conditioned soul. Guru must be liberated. Because without complete knowledge of Krishna,
without being free from the contamination of the three modes of material nature... One cannot
understand Krishna on account of his being engrossed with these three material modes of nature.
Further in the Nectar of Instruction you write:
One should not become a spiritual master unless he has attained the platform of uttama-adhikari. A
neophyte Vaisnava or a Vaisana situated on the intermediate platform can also accept disciples, but such
disciples must be on the same platform, and it should be understood that they cannot advance very well
toward the ultimate goal of life under his insufficient guidance. Therefore a disciple should be careful to
accept an uttama-adhikari as a spiritual master.
You have described the spiritual master as being a transparent via medium between the neophyte
devotee and the Absolute Personality of Godhead, because by the strength of his imperfect senses the
neophyte devotee has no ability to approach Lord Krishna. Under the guidance of such a bonafide
spiritual master one is trained in the transcendental loving service of the Lord. You write:
VyasaPuja2011

And by such training, even for some days, the neophyte devotee gets intelligence in such transcendental
service, which leads him ultimately to get free from perpetual inhabitation in the material worlds and to
be promoted to the transcendental world to become one of the liberated associates of the Lord in the
kingdom of God.
Srila Prabhupada you are perfectly fulfilling your position as a bonafide spiritual master. You are training
us in Krishna consciousness through your transcendental teachings. You are the pure devotee, free from
any material desire, the transparent via medium to the Supreme Lord. I pray that I can further apply
your teachings in my life.
Srila Prabhupada, I have such a wonderful opportunity here in New Zealand to both practice and preach
Krishna consciousness without restriction. I have the invaluable association of my godbrothers and
godsister who are seriously engaged in devotion to you, and via you the Supreme Lord Krishna. Actually
I am attempting to serve you via such determined souls. They are my via medium to you Srila
Prabhupada. Without their association would I be able to muster up enough devotion to follow your
instructions? I think not. Therefore this is not a sentimental display, nor a product of false humility. It is
the honest truth.
So today I pray to you Srila Prabhupada that I may intensify my hearing and chanting, my service to the
Vaisnava community, my study of your books, my service attitude, my worship of the Lord and my
determination, discipline, and devotion to your instructions. These are the true shelter for those
conditioned souls like me who are ever embarrassed in the material energy.
May your fame be ever spread throughout the three worlds.
Your servant,
Hanuman dasa.
Krishnapriya Devi Dasi, Amsterdam, Holland
Please accept my most humble and respectful obeisances in the dust of your lotus feet.
All glories to Your Divine Grace, not just on the auspicious day of your appearance on this planet, but
for always.
Srila Prabhupada, it has been now 110 years since you took your birth in the house of the De family with
Sriman Gaurmohan De as your father and Srimati Rajani as your mother.
From your very childhood your deep attachment to the service of Lord Krishna became apparent. Your
organising your own Ratha Yatra, in which you managed to get all the family members comes to mind.
Later on you inaugurated the Ratha Yatra in all the major cities of the world. In Jaganath puri the local
brahmanas are very selfish as to whom they allow to have darshan of Lord Jaganath, but with your mercy
Lord Jaganath became visible for the people all over the world during the Ratha Yatra festival.
Srila Prabhupada, you have given the world a treasure house full of knowledge in the form of your
translations of the most important scriptures of India and your priceless Bhaktivedanta purports.
Through these purports Srila Prabhupada you will continue to instruct everyone who reads your books
with the right attitude along the path of bhakti yoga and those who choose to abide by your disciplines
will be your disciples.
Unfortunately Srila Prabhupada there have been many major changes in ISKCON from the time you left
your vapu form. Your ritvik order is not understood or is understood and willfully rejected by the first
ritviks you appointed.
If you had truly authorised these ritviks to take on the role of initiating gurus in ISKCON after your
physical departure Srila Prabhupada, then I am convinced, with that instruction would have been given
the strength/knowledge/wisdom and humility with which they would have succeeded fully, been
glorious and made the Hare Krsna Movement glorious.
VyasaPuja2011

As we have seen over the years most of these first ritviks, who became full-fledged zonal acharyas
overnight, proofed to not have been qualified. When examining all your instructions and putting them
in perspective it is completely clear that you never authorised any of them to become Diksa Guru in
ISKCON. This obvious truth is vehemently being rejected by the by now mostly voted in gurus of the
Hare Krsna movement, who consider it their topmost service to accept disciples by whom they then be
worshiped as saksat-hari.
Unfortunately one can never know which of these so called gurus will next be exposed to be committing
most abominable and lowly acts of adharma, who will fall down, who will take with them followers and
money.
In this situation Srila Prabhupada, at least for me personally, there is no doubt that everything would
have been proper in ISKCON only if your ritvik order had been followed and your DOM applied. Then
there would have not been much scope for all the vice to take place within ISKCON such as the murder
on Jayatirtha, the murder of Sulocana, the (sexual)abuse of so many children and last but not least the
misleading of so many aspiring devotees.
ISKCON GBC is convinced that they have to carry on with their trial-and-error guru systems in
ISKCON, untill finally the Guru's become qualified. Their conviction is also that any of your disciples,
qualified to be Guru, has the "birthright" to become Diksa Guru - but it has to be under their
supervision. In this way factually the GBC is controlling as a body the actions of the 'ISKCON diksha
guru'.
Whilst the GBC and their staunch followers share the conviction that this is how the disciplic succession
has always functioned and this is how it should continue, we can see from many evidences, that this "so
called traditional system" was not your chosen system for continued diksa in ISKCON.
Srila Prabhupada, you very wisely implemented a ritvik system of Initiation within ISKCON, with the
instruction that it be continued. Instead of taking this instruction as their life and soul, unfortunately
most of the "devotees" are of opinion that they have to disprove that you gave the instruction to
continue the ritvik system, whilst they have to devise all types of controlling rules to regulate the actions
of the present 'ISKCON gurus". The system of initiation given by you in your books is no longer
followed as it is, but adapted to accommodate these new species of "gurus of ISKCON".
All this makes me sad Srila Prabhupada and I am wondering why it is so difficult for your apparent
loving devotees to recognise and accept the truth. Obviously also the thought comes to my mind that
perhaps in spite of me trying to apply my own intelligence to the best of my capacity, I may be
mistaken.....but then Srila Prabhupada how come that since I have accepted you alone as my eternal
spiritual master, I have found peace in my heart and the trials and tribulations of life do no longer bother
me.
Dear Srila Prabhupada, I do not know how the ISKCON movement will develop. It is in the hands of
Lord Caitanya to replace you. But we continue to hope that He will lead us all to renstating Your Divine
Grace as the Diksa Guru of ISKCON. Please do come back as such Srila Prabhupada for the sake of all
the devotees who are actually in search of true spiritual life but are today gravely misled. As far as my
personal self is concerned I beg to eternally remain your surrendered servant. Please continue to guide
me, inspire me, protect me and chastise me Srila Prabhupada for now and till in eternity and please
continue to fill my heart with the desire to become a good devotee.
Your eternal maid-servant,

Dear Srila Prabhupada;
I offer my respectful obeisances unto His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, who is
very dear to Lord Krishna, having taken shelter at His lotus feet.
Our respectful obeisances are unto you, O spiritual master, servant of Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati
Goswami. You are kindly preaching the message of Lord Chaitanya and delivering the Western
countries, which are filled with impersonalism and voidism.
We at Govindas' Farm in Prince Edward Island,Canada send our respectful obeisances to Srila
Prabhupada on this most auspicious day of his appearance. Daily we thank him for being the inspiration
behind this project. Every day we are thinking , "How can we please Srila Prabhupada?"
Even though we are very poor, still we are thinking how can we buy cows so that we can have milk,
cream,butter and ghee? How can we plant more grains,vegetables,flowers and grasses. How can we make
our own clothing?
You have told us so often how we can live a simple life to have time to serve Krishna. How can we take
up this project when we are at the beginning of old age? But of course we have the example of your good
self, who took up the mission of Srila Bhakti Siddhanta Saraswati ,and at the age of Seventy,came to the
West in order to fulfill the prediction of MahaPrabhu Himself.
You have a heart that is filled with nothing but kindness and compassion for the human beings who are
suffering like dogs in this material hell. You are so compassionate that you took so much trouble to take
a passage on the Jaladuta and suffered heart attacks just to bring the message of Lord Caitanya to the
mlechers in the West. You were so surrendered to your guru that you showed us all how to be fearless
because you risked everything. You did not know if there was even any thing for you to eat.Perhaps
there was only meat in the West, but still you came. You lived in the Bowery in New York and
sometimes you even had to run for your life to escape a madman. You endured severe cold and no help
from your own Godbrothers...still you stayed.
Slowly the Hippies became Happies as they listened to you playing the drum and chanting in Tomkin's
Square Park. Then the trickle of fallen conditioned souls became a Flood..flowing towards Lord
Caitananyas'and Lord Nityanandas' lotus feet. All because of you.
Srila Prabhupada you are Jagat Guru because you embody all of the 26 characteristics of a pure devotee.

In the Bhagavatam (1117.27) it is said:
acaryam mam vijaniyan navamanyeta karhicit na martya-buddhyasuyeta sarva-deva mayoguruh
One should understand the spiritual master to be as good as I am, said the Blessed Lord Nobody
should be jealous of the spiritual master or think of him as an ordinary man, because the spiritual master
is the sum total of all demigods. That is, the acarya has been identified with God Himself. He has
nothing to do with the affairs of this mundane world. He appears before us to reveal the light of the
Vedas and to bestow upon us the blessing of full-fledged freedom, after which we should hanker at every
step of our lifes journey.
We have so many examples of your kindness and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all that
you have done for us. All glories to your Divine Grace.

Dear Eternal Srila Prabhupada,
All glories to Your lotus feet, beloved Srila Prabhupada who crossed oceans, tolerated heart attacks, just
to save those of us in the various towns and villages world-wide. Without you how would I have heard
about Krishna? How would many of us ever discovered "Who Is God?" Unknowing, left with only our
family churches, collegiate off-beat changes of religion, or popular New Age beliefs. The eternal words
from the Highest Vedic literatures, was put into our hand by a Sankisrtana devotee, or we may have
visited a temple, seen a HariNama party, blessed with prasadam, or something else, which awakened us
enough to discover Krishna. Without you, this could not have happened.
Your mercy, to the many fallen souls, is that of jagad, universal, available to all simply for the taking. No
one can repay the debt to the spiritual master. It too, is eternal. Thankfully so. To be in your service
forever is a blessing. Let us never forget our connection with you, let us always behave like devotees.
May your lotus feet always be worshiped.
There are not enough praises I can give you, to thank and appreciate all you have done for myself, my
family, and godsiblings as friends. Never would I have thought to have friends of such unique spiritual
nature. You have picked me up out of this ocean of nescience, which I doubt I would have recognized
needed to be done, thinking myself well with practices of Hatha Yoga or related philosophies. Steps, but
also Illusions. Without you, I am nothing. With you, I may struggle, but I am determined.
When you left this world, disappeared from our sight, we cried and lamented deeply. The loss of the
pure devotee, is something never to be forgotten. You are now up there with Krishna, and blissful. We
are down here, needing to remember you are relishing activities with the Lord, and that we may achieve
that ultimate goal by following your instructions to engage in devotional service. You explained to us the
VyasaPuja2011

method, now we simply need to apply it more and more. I am everlastingly thankful to have somehow or
other, found you.
"O Krsna, beloved son of Nanda Maharaja, I am Your eternal servant, but somehow or other I have fallen
into this ocean of nescience, and although I am struggling very hard, there is no way I can save myself
If You kindly pick me up and fix me as one of the particles of dust at Your lotus feet, that will save me."

All glories unto our savior Srila Prabhupada - Jagat guru ki jai!
Your Servant,
Priitaa devi dasi
Sadhudasa Anudasa, Argentina
Having informed Mother Jadurani Devi Dasi on a letter dated 4th September 1972, that youll always be
present in your picture, I humbly submit this Vyasa-puja offering to your picture within my home, heart,
and minds altars.
In your famous Vyasa-puja offering of 1936 to your dearest Gurudeva (The Harmonist, Vol. XXXII,
No.12-13, of March 4th 1936) you offered a beautiful poem, and eight pages of philosophical exposition
of the truth about Guru (guru-tattva). While addressing the fundamental principle of Gurudeva as
something of universal application, you also delineated the personal transcendental qualities of your
Prabhupada. Thus intermingling the two principles that conform the eternal moieties of the Absolute
TruthRasa and Tattvayou further enlightened the four kinds of pious persons assembled at the
gathering.
We, the fallen souls of Kali-yuga need much assistance, and you are offering to all not only your own self
but also your personal Prabhupada. By revealing to all the prabhupada-acharyas following Sri Rupa
Goswami Prabhupada, you will be also known as Maha-Prabhupada. After offering humankind your
devotional personal example by living through the four ashramas, you are considered the complete most
Jagad-guru in Sriman Mahaprabhus paramparathus recognized as Mahaprabhu-pada by having
distributed Gaura's message all over the world. You appeared in Kolkata in a vaishya family tradition,
and your God brothers born in brahmana families couldnt seeas do now the most introspective of
your disciplesthat your varna reveals Sri Krishnas own in Sri Vrindavana.
During the Vyasa-puja celebrations of Srila Bhaktisiddhanta this year, I showed you a different
translation and purport by your students to the one you have already offered in Chaitanya-charitamrita,
Madhya-lila 24.137, which correspond to Srimad Bhagavatam 11.2.37. I take advantage of your Vyasa-
puja celebrations to present it here again, since it is a very good example on how an inexperienced
reader may misplace the principles of rasa and tattvathus incurring in rasa-abhasa and apa-siddhanta
or tattva-abhasa:
Cc. Madya 24.137
As spoken by Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu while describing the atmarama verse:
bhayam dvitiyabhiniveshatah syad ishad apetasya viparyayo smritih
tan-mayayato budha abhajet tam bhaktyaikayesham guru-devatatma
YOUR SYNONYMS, SRILA PRABHUPADA:
bhayamfear; dvitiya-abhiniveshatahfrom the misconception of being a product of material energy;
syatarises; ishatfrom the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Krishna; apetasyaof one who has
withdrawn (the conditioned soul); viparyayahreversal of position; asmritihno conception of his
relationship with the Supreme Lord; tat-mayayabecause of the illusory energy of the Supreme Lord;
VyasaPuja2011

atahtherefore; budhahone who is wise; abhajetmust worship; tamHim; bhaktyaby devotional
service; ekayanot diverted to karma and jnana; ishamthe Supreme Personality of Godhead; guruas
the spiritual master; devataworshipable Lord; atmaSupersoul.
YOUR TRANSLATION, SRILA PRABHUPADA:
When the living entity is attracted by the material energy, which is separate from Krishna, he is
overpowered by fear. Because he is separated from the Supreme Personality of Godhead by the material
energy, his conception of life is reversed. In other words, instead of being the eternal servant of Krishna,
he becomes Krishnas competitor. This is called viparyayo smritih. To nullify this mistake, one who is
actually learned and advanced worships the Supreme Personality of Godhead as his spiritual master,
worshipful Deity and source of life. He thus worships the Lord by the process of unalloyed devotional
service.
YOUR PURPORT, SRILA PRABHUPADA:
This verse is quoted from Srimad-Bhagavatam (11.2.37).
I submit next your students translation and purport of the same verse, as it is has been already
published by your Bhaktivedanta Book Trust:
SB. 11.2.37
SYNONYMS BY YOUR STUDENTS:
bhayamfear; dvitiyain something seeming to be other than the Lord; abhiniveshatahbecause of
absorption; syatit will arise; ishatfrom the Supreme Lord; apetasyafor one who has turned away;
viparyayahmisidentification; asmritihforgetfulness; tatof the Lord; mayayaby the illusory
energy; atahtherefore; budhahan intelligent person; abhajetshould worship fully; tamHim;
bhaktyawith devotion; ekayaunalloyed; ishamthe Lord; guru-devata-atmaone who sees his own
spiritual master as his lord and very soul.
TRANSLATION BY YOUR STUDENTS:
Fear arises when a living entity misidentifies himself as the material body because of absorption in the
external, illusory energy of the Lord. When the living entity thus turns away from the Supreme Lord, he
also forgets his own constitutional position as a servant of the Lord. This bewildering, fearful condition
is effected by the potency for illusion, called maya. Therefore, an intelligent person should engage
unflinchingly in the unalloyed devotional service of the Lord, under the guidance of a bona fide spiritual
master, whom he should accept as his worshipable deity and as his very life and soul.
In your Bhagavad-Gita As It Is Srila Prabhupada, your conclusions are supported by all your learned God
brothers, your Gurudeva Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura, all the four Vaishnava Sampradayas,
and the Gaudiya Vaishnava parampara:

The living entity in his original position is pure spirit. He is just like the atomic particle of the Supreme
Spirit. Thus Lord Krishna may be compared to the sun, and the living entities to sunshine. Because the
living entities are the marginal energy of Krishna, they have the tendency to be in contact either with the
material energy or with the spiritual energy. In other words, the living entity is SITUATED between the
two energies of the Lord, and because he belongs to the superior energy of the Lord, he has a particle of
independence. By proper use of that independence he comes under the direct order of Krishna. Thus he
attains his normal condition in the pleasure-giving potency (Bg.18.78).
The totally different translation and purport from yours in the same verse of SB.11.2.37 are like the two
sides of the same coin, they are totally opposed, nonetheless innerly relatedlike Yogamaya and
Mahamaya. How to read Oneness in Diversity requires the conclusion of Tattva. Here there is an
example from your own purports:
The conclusion is that no one falls from the spiritual world, or Vaikuntha planet, for it is the eternal
abode (SB. 3.16.26).
VyasaPuja2011

"O scion of Bharata [Arjuna], O conqueror of the foe, all living entities are born into delusion, overcome
by the dualities of desire and hate." This is an explanation of how the living entity falls down into this
material world. In the spiritual world there is NO DUALITY, NOR THERE IS HATE. The Supreme
Personality of Godhead expands Himself into many. In order to enjoy bliss more and more, the Supreme
Lord expands Himself in different categories. As mentioned in the Varaha Purana, He expands Himself
in vishnu-tattva (the svamsha expansion) and in His marginal potency (the vibhinnamsha, or the living
entity). These expanded living entities are innumerable, just as the minute molecules of sunshine are
innumerable expansions of the sun. The vibhinnamsha expansions, the marginal potencies of the Lord,
are the living entities. When the living entities desire to enjoy themselves, they develop a consciousness
of DUALITY and come to HATE THE SERVICE of the Lord. In this way the living entities fall into the
material world (SB. 4.28.53).
The apparent ambiguity of your own purport aboveor the opposing translation and purport from the
already given by your students in SB.11.2.37is harmonized when following Mahaprabhus tenets of
Oneness in Diversity or achintya-bhedabheda-tattva. To such extend one may come to understand that
the spark-like jivas only fall down from the personal engagement with the Lord exclusively from His
bhauma-lilawhich is non different from the Lord although within the material worldhowever, the
jiva is also bhedabheda-prakash or one and different from the Lord. Otherwise, paraphrasing you Srila
Prabhupada: The conclusion is that no one falls from the spiritual world, or Vaikuntha planet, for it is
the eternal abode. This conclusion is so, since there is no duality over there, and nobody there comes to
hate Krishnas service.
To the spiritually awake, tattva is the faint background of all amorous rasika relationships. Whereas to
the spiritually immature, tattva is the only way to substantiate and properly develop rasaor the loving
relationships between the Lord and His devotees. To become aware or to awake ones spiritual body, one
has to have a conception of ones relationship with the Supreme Lord, which has to be established above
the shanta-rasa constitutional relationship with the Lordthus upgrading ones impersonal identity
(tattva) due to a higher taste (rasa).
One cannot allow oneself to tolerate a different philosophical conclusion from yours, the previous
acharyas, your intimate God brothers, or from the shastras conclusions. However one should scrutinize
about the Truth, and then adjust apparent ambiguous conceptions under the principles of achintya-
bhedabheda-tattva of Oneness in Diversity. Nonetheless, this can be done without ambiguity only from
the paramahamsa stage. As aspirant Vaishnavas on the other side, we must know the spiritual laws that
conform the transformation of energies of the Lord (parinamavada), to then develop proper power of
discrimination while still remaining in this material world.
It is our own power of discriminationdeveloped under the proper spiritual guidance of guru-shastra-
sadhuthat will assist us to gradually awake our individual spiritual body.
Sri Chaitanya showed perfect examples of power of discrimination. He showed how to relate with
seniority according to the truth of Vedic tradition and etiquette, even though a senior person may not be
spiritually qualified. Sri Chaitanya enacted His personal impartialityor impersonal mood in shanta-
rasawhile reciprocating with His senior spiritual uncle Sri Ramachandra Puri, since he was an
impersonalist (Cc. Antya-lila 8.7-103). The Lord did not acted hypocritically towards his spiritual uncle
either, since He never criticized him, thus avoiding duplicity. Therefore the Lord applied transcendental
diplomacy, by following Vedic rituals that are completely freed from hypocrisy.
Maintaining his identity as a spiritual spark-like conditioned jiva, Sri Ramachandra Puri enacted his
negative free will by choosing not to awake his constitutionally dormant spiritual bodythus neglected
engaging in the loving personal service towards the Lord. As an impersonalist, Sri Ramachandra Puri
always thought that he was equal to Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, thus subconsciously continued serving
the Lord as one of His constitutional (vibhinnamsha) expansions in the stage of shanta-rasa. By
independently choosing not to upgrade his constitutional position as a spiritual spark-like jiva or
VyasaPuja2011

Brahman, by offering personal service above the basic stages of shanta-rasa exclusively, he left Sri
Chaitanya's personal associationWho is Para-Brahman Himself.
Sri Ramachandra Puri neglected his innermost active living principle (chaitanya) of offering direct
personal service to the Lord. Therefore he continued to offer impersonal service to Him from the jivas
constitutional platform of shanta-rasa. The conclusion is that in whatever condition of lifewhether in
the eternally liberated, or the circumstantially conditioned existencethe jiva is an eternal servant of
Krishna.
Although Sri Ramachandra Puri held no conception of a loving relationship with Sri Chaitanya, he could
never forget his constitutional identity of being equal to the Lord as Brahmanthus continued holding
the unconscious Mayavada conception that is still constitutional to the immemorial conditioned life. The
conclusion from your translation of the word "asmritih: no conception of his relationship with the
Supreme Lord," is that Sri Ramachandra Puri never established a relationship with Lord Gauranga
beyond shanta-rasa, and after abandoning His personal company he forgot the Lord. Contrary to Krishna
consciousness, the impersonal or Mayavada consciousness of the Brahman existence is to identify
everything as the Supreme Homogeneous spiritual identity only. Mayavadis develop jealousy and envy
when seeing someone surpassing them, either in the very presence of the Lord, His dear saintly devotees,
or the spiritual grounds of His bhauma-lilathus ignore or hate spiritual diversity.
The jiva manifests jealousy or enviousness towards the active personal engagement with their Lord after
enacting negative free will from their constitutional stage of shanta-rasathus becoming conditioned
since time immemorial. The most treacherous and deceiving stage of Mayavada consciousness, is to
stimulate spiritual diversity that aims to merge or reject the Supreme Personality of Godhead from His
very transcendental presence.
You mentioned Srila Prabhupada, that: The relationship of the living entity is fixed eternally, it cannot
be forgotten, as we see from the behavior of Arjuna. Although Arjuna has seen the opulence in the
universal form, he cannot forget his friendly relationship with Krishna (Bg.11.43). A conditioned soul
is bewildered by the Lord's illusory energy (maya). Maya's business is to keep the conditioned soul
forgetful of his real relationship with Krishna. Thus the living entity forgets his real identity as spirit
soul, Brahman, and instead of realizing his factual position thinks himself the product of the material
energy (Cc. Madhya 20.122). Therefore, I always remember your statement: So there are many
instances in the transcendental histories of the world of an impersonalist who has latter become a
devotee. But a devotee has never become an impersonalist. This very fact proves that on the
transcendental steps, the step occupied by a devotee is higher than the step occupied by an impersonalist
(SB.1.18.16).
Great devotees like Prahlada Maharaja, Dhruva Maharaja, Shukadeva Goswami, the four Kumaras, the
nine Yogendras and others, are living examples of jivas that reached the highest stage of shanta-rasa,
which allowed them to have Vishnus darshan and personally serve Him. After being exposed to a higher
taste, they wisely discriminated to finally elevate themselves to a superior rasathus enacting from
within the material world for the first time, a direct personal relationship of dasya-rasa with their eternal
Lord.
Although the Lord is impartial to the non-devotees (Bg.4.11), He becomes partial towards His dear
devotees (Bg.16.68-69). Sri Chaitanya was forced to exteriorize His rage and rejection towards His
eternal associate Sri Mukunda Data for his mixing with Mayavadis, though He did so while pursuing a
loving personal exchange. Similarly Sri Chaitanya chastised His avatara expansion Sri Advaita Acharya
for preaching impersonal philosophy, since the latter was willing to draw such loving rage from the Lord
(Cc. Adi-lila 17.65-68). The connotation of these pastimes is that as aspiring Vaishnavasconditioned
in the basic stages of shanta-rasawe should not imitate the pure rasika activities of the Lord and His
devotees. Instead we should develop truly loving relationship towards our seniors, our gurus, and the
Lord within our hearts, provided our sentiments (rasa) are intrinsically rooted on philosophical truths
VyasaPuja2011

(tattva), and are devoid of political correctness that lead to duplicity. Otherwise to enact loving
sentiments devoid of philosophical realizations is just sentimentalism, since such rasa is merely
predominated by our constitutional stage of shanta-rasa, or our Brahman-tattva relationship with the
Supreme Personality of Godhead.
Ill look forward and deeper to see you soon again Srila Maha-Prabhupada. Even exposed to all sort of
hindrances, I regularly try to carry your picture within my mindalmost as a daily initiation ceremony,
and daily Vyasa-puja offering. I also acknowledge that it cannot be possible without begging the
blessings from all my other personal PrabhupadasOneness in Diversity and vice versa, for ever.

That Guru who is the ocean of the Srutis (Vedas), the Sun of knowledge (who can destroy our ignorance
with these rays), I salute such a Guru
Guru Maharaja Krishna Hare Receive my most humble obeisances at your divine lotus feet, my feelings
towards you are whip thanks for all your blessings, because every day you fills us with their great and
endless love, for his instructions, for the great lighting that brings. So today and always give thanks to
Krishna's mercy be serving.
Thanks for all the instructions we have received from you. You can not really calculate how much mercy
and love in his heart and through this we have the opportunity to learn the true meaning of our lives: the
unconditional service to Radha and Krishna and he considers the servant of the servant of the servant of
God. I know I need so much to so that we can accommodate you and my spiritual brothers, however
that the only remedy to get rid of my sinful life is to take shelter of his lotus feet and feet of all his
disciples.
On this day we express our profound gratitude. We are not enough words or actions to reward His gift of
Love. The causeless mercy to give us this beautiful spiritual family, so many wonderful children who,
like you. watch over our true being. The possibility of finding in this life the true refuge, his intimate and
compassionate embrace, even when we have so many faults, you. welcomes us as a loving father in his
arms ...
We long to have become the mercy of earnest students and give all this wonderful gift of Mahaprabhu,
so you can make others happy with the preaching love of the Supreme Truth.
This time I ask Krishna to let me write the most appropriate words or phrases with which I shall speak.
The material world is a place where we live most of life in total darkness, a darkness that even we can see
that the Supreme Lord is with us at all times, which is in our hearts until you came to our lives to get us
out of this dreaded and long darkness, we reached out to tell us how much he cares Krishna and pure
people like yourself, he said words that brought to the surface of the darkest ignorance, gave us the love
that allows us to understand how important are the other, a love so pure that you feel so alone in his
eyes and tells us once again how important are all the souls to Krishna, and besides all confident that
each of us will help to distribute this great knowledge to achieve a goal so big that it can only do a pure
person like you, which is to reach out to every soul in the world and bring them to the surface of the
dark.
I consider myself very fortunate to be able to offer these words to a character so exalted as His Divine
Grace in this day of auspiciossimo Vyasa puja. I think I have a debt to you that I will never pay for all
his mercy, tolerance and love for this low server. Although this is my condition, I also know that serving
and get to please is the perfection of my life. In you I found my real father, friend, protector and largest
shelter.
VyasaPuja2011

In a world where there's Confucianism, the hypocrisy and deceit, selfishness, where no one really
wanted. find a personality so transparent and clear, well hubicada, sincere and honest, is indeed a great
mercy, mercy without soul cause for this fall. When my spiritual master left this material world, no time
to wonder tube, there was not even room for doubt, the answer was immediate refugee follow the lotus
feet of Srila Gurumaharaj, I felt that this would be the response that my Gurudeva me would have
indicated, his greatest admirer, friend and brother to discipleship, Srila Harijan Maharaj taught us
humility, respect, fidelity, teaches us to value the maximum gurumaharaj instructions, always had the
presents, as when he made reference sitaba Srimad bagabat gita or Srimad Bhagavata, it was never their
opponents, but had all the freedom to express their ideas that were well resibidas attention with all due
respect and care

To my Guru Maharaj,
Jagat Guru Srila Prabhupada,
On the divine occasion of Vyasapuja, I would like to take the opportunity to offer my respectful
obeisance unto your lotus feet and thank you for showering your mercy on this fallen soul.
Prabhupada, I had never thought I would ever meet someone whom I can consider a Guru and follow
his instructions blindfolded. I had heard since childhood that a Guru is equal to God. I came across
many men, whom people would call and worship as a Guru, but something in me would never let me
accept them as my Guru and I would find it wrong to worship then as god.
Many years passed and I believed that me meeting a Guru whom I would accept and worship as God
seemed impossible. But least I knew that one day our Guru Maharaj would sanction his mercy on me
and show me the path to enlightenment, Back to Krishna.
O Prabhupada, I am so fallen that I dont have enough words to thank you for what you have done not
only for me but for so many lost souls. With all my love, respect and gratitude, I would like to thank you
for your mercies on a fallen soul like me. I thank you for showing me the path which will lead to
enlighten, out of the darkness I am too deep into. Thank you for being there to guide me whenever I
tend to falter.
It is said that the Guru Disciple Relationship is transcendental and is not limited to one birth. This
relationship continues forever and the Guru continues to enlighten his disciple birth after birth.
O spiritual Master, Please continue to enlighten this fallen and abandoned soul for how many ever births
I take. Please take me back to god head, back to Krishna.
All Glories to my spiritual master, my Guru Maharaj, His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila
Prabhupada.

present so deeply sunk. Therefore let me with all my earnestness pray at the lotus feet of my divine
master to allow me to suffer the lot for which I am destined due to my past misdoings, but to let me have
realized through the unflinching mercy of my divine master. Let me therefore bow down at his lotus feet
with all the humility at my command.
Srila Prabhupada according to you, It is not difficult at all to be servant of Krsna THIS is Diksa (divya
Jnana) . Divya-jnana hrde prokasito:
760711CC.NY Lectures
Prabhupada: Divya-jnana hrde prokasito. What is that divya-jnana? Divya-jnana is that we are all servant
of Krsna, and our only business is to serve Krsna. Divya-jnana. This is divya-jnana. It is not difficult at
all. Simply we have... We have become servant of so many things--servant of society, servant of
community, servant of country, servant of wife, servant of children, servant of dog and so many. "Now
let me become servant of Krsna." This is divya-jnana. Diksa. Diksa means from this divya-jnana. That is
di. And ksa means ksapayati, expands.
Srila Prabhuupada, opportunist self- made bogus gurus reject your ORDER July9th 1977 of Ritvik
System of FORMALITY. You FACTUALLY are THE -ONLY- DIKSA GURU of ISKCON . You have
shown GRAPHICALLY HOW- Krsna is transferred from YOUR heart Divya-jnana hrde prokasito to
ours then our svarupa(constitutional position) is revealed :
SB 10.2.18 P Prayers by the Demigods for Lord Krsna in the Womb
As indicated here by the word manastah, the Supreme Personality of Godhead was TRANSFERRED
from the core of Vasudeva's mind or heart to the core of the heart of Devaki. We should note carefully
that the Lord was TRANSFERRED to Devaki not by the ordinary way for a human being, but by diksa,
initiation. Thus the importance of initiation is mentioned here. Unless one is initiated by the right
person, who always carries within his heart the Supreme Personality of Godhead, one cannot acquire the
power to carry the Supreme Godhead within the core of one's own heart.
Srila Prabhupada I have taken your shelter. YOU are my BONAFIDE DIKSA and Siksa Guru. I have full
confidence you will raise me to be a servant of Krsna by the Diksa process:
Adi 7.73 (Lord Caitanya in Five Features) In his Anubhasya, Sri Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Gosvami
says that the actual effect that will be visible as soon as one achieves transcendental knowledge is that he
will immediately become free from the clutches of maya and fully engage in the service of the Lord.
Unless one serves the Supreme Personality of Godhead Mukunda, one cannot become free from fruitive
activities under the external energy. However, when one chants the holy name of the Lord offenselessly,
one can realize a transcendental position that is completely aloof from the material conception of life.
Rendering service to the Lord, a devotee relates to the Supreme Personality of Godhead in one of five
relationships--namely, santa, dasya, sakhya, vatsalya or madhurya--and thus he relishes transcendental
bliss in that relationship. Such a relationship certainly transcends the body and mind. When one realizes
that the holy name of the Lord is identical with the Supreme Person, he becomes completely eligible to
chant the holy name of the Lord. Such an ecstatic chanter and dancer must be considered to have a
direct relationship with the Lord.

I consider it my greatest fortune that I came in touch with you through your Vani in around 1993.
During that time, I read the books PQPA and SSR and that completely changed my outlook towards life.
Since then, your books have been my true source of inspiration.
VyasaPuja2011

I am lowest of the lowest human with a heart darker than charcoal. It surely is so dirty that even if I do
not perform a single sinful activity for billions of years, perform the best of the austerities, visit
pilgrimage places and perform the best atonements for my previous sins, my heart will still not be
cleansed. It is ONLY through your causeless mercy that I have been able to receive an infallible method
which has the ability to purify my heart within this very lifetime. It not only can make me a perfect being
but can also fulfill the goal of life, to go back to GodHead. Unfortunately, I am so conditioned that I have
not been able to follow your simplest of instructions. Just like a miser would hide his gold coins in the
locker and not use it for any good, similarly, I have been an unfortunate krpana who has not been able to
use the Raja Vidya, you mercifully delivered to us. My longing for various sense gratification has thus
made my progress slow on the spiritual path.
I earnestly pray to you for your mercy to help me come out of this mire. Please provide me the strength,
dedication and determination to follow each and every word of your instructions. Please help me to be
able to serve your Lotus feet incessantly.
In your 9
th
July 1977 letter to all temple presidents of ISKCON, you clearly state about the initiation
process to be followed in future. However, some of your disciples, conditioned as they are, have
misinterpreted your words to their benefit. The biggest fear for a disciple on the devotional path is to be
misled from the instructions of Gurudev. What else has a devotee has to fear? I pray to you to shower
your mercy on such conditioned souls to stop misinterpreting your words and take your instructions as
their life and soul.
I am indebted to you that you mystically guided me to ISKCON Bangalore in 1999. That one year of
association with Bangalore devotees had made a great influence on my spiritual life. Moreover, only after
such association that I really understood your position as the Acarya of the whole world. I pray to you
that your position as sole diksha guru in ISKCON Bangalore and associated temples be undisturbed, if
you so desire. I also solemnly pray to you that I get the direction to always serve you in the best possible
way.
Only through your mercy can the most fallen soul like me develop devotion for Lord Caitanya
Mahaprabhu and Nityanananda Prabhu. Kindly cast your glance on me.

Dear Srila Prabhupadji
Please accept my most respectful obeisance unto your divine lotus feet.
On the auspicious occasion of your divine appearance day I wish to express my sincere appreciation and
gratitude for your causeless mercy you have shown to this insignificant servant. Ever since this
insignificant soul has come across your divine book (Science of self realization) you have been blessing
me with your causeless mercy. No words can express my gratitude towards your kindles mercy that I
started Krishna Consciousness from a divine and pure temple like ISKCON Bangalore. Without your
kind mercy my life would have been deluged in pith of dark materialistic world. You have been kind
enough to guide me in every second of my life and you even taken care of me even when I was in bad
physical health. Please forgive me for all my offenses. On this most auspicious occasion I humbly beg
you to continue to shower your blessing on this insignificant soul and please keep me under the shelter
of your divine lotus feet.

I have been a confused and a fallen fool who had no idea of GOD or demigods. With no clear idea on
the position of the Supreme Personality of GodHead, Sri Krishna, I used to follow religious rituals as a
part of the family tradition. This involved praying to the demigods for material benefits and sense
gratification.
Like you have described in several places that if we water the root of the plant it reaches the entire plant.
In the same way, through my great fortune, I came in touch with you to understand that Sri Krishna is
the Supreme Personality of Godhead and we do not require to pray other demigods. If one prays and
surrenders to Shri Krishna it is complete and covers everything while it is not the same if one prays or
surrenders to a particular demigod.
Due to your causeless mercy, I consider this a big step in my realization. I am too fallen and still
materially inclined. So, I offer my prayers to you to make us progress on the spiritual path mercifully
shown by you and that we follow your instructions. I pray to your lotus feet that each day when I wake
up in the morning, I spiritually advance than the previous day.
Please help me surrender to your lotus feet.

HARE KRISHNA
Srila Prabhupada under the banner of ISKON (International Society for Krishna Consciousness) and
through his books, taught us how to lead life. The teachings of Lord Sri Krishna and Srila Prabhupada
were unlike. While Lord Sri Krishna taught us that our enemies should be destroyed, Srila Prabhupada
taught us to forgive them and bore no exiles against our ill wishes.
We should have some kind of aim in our life or else we are no lesser than dead soul. We can learn
from Srila Prabhupadas life that if we have a strong determination in our mind, then come what may,
nothing can compromise us off it. He taught us that go for your aim, dont let yourself down and dont
yield yourself before insolent might. The best example for this is how Srila Prabhupada built 108
Sri Krishna temples though he had undergone great perils to achieve it but with only one humble
weapon : devotion. Srila Prabhupada instructed us to live amicably among our fellow beings. We have to
find the Absolute Truth of Life which lies nowhere but in our own Soul which is nothing but the
Almighty God is where we find true happiness, true peace.
If you are born as a human, try your level best to die as a human as well by helping others extremely as
you can. This is the significance of Srila Prabhupada teachings.
He taught us that if we find Lord Krishna even in failure, than success can be truly ours. He proved
that Devotion in Krishna can act as beans of light through lonely darkness of life. Honesty,
dedication, ahimsa, righteousness are the qualities that alone can help us find our way to godliness.
Srila Prabhupada stated that Try, try till you succeed , since success is not meant for a single person
and if it is others success today, it would be yours tomorrow. In short he proved that Rome isnt built
in a day.

also helped us to get a good impression from teachers and parents. It has helped us to know about great
personalities like Hanuman, Arjuna, Prabhupada and others. It has given the consciousness of Krishna;
the Supreme Lord. The teachers have given us the songs and pictures of Krishna which has given us the

Dear Prabhupada,
Hi, I am one of the devotees of Krishna. I am writing this letter to thank you for all that you gave me.
You are also indirectly responsible for me to know who is God and what is dharma. So thank you for
that.
Please ask Krishna to come, stay by my side and guide me.
Thank you,
Your devotee,

A Prayer to Lord Sri Krishna
O all good one, O possessor of all knowledge, you are the knower of the past, present and future. O all
illuminating from, though you come on Earth you are beyond the laws of the material nature.
O unborn, O dweller of the spiritual world, You descended on Earth to end the hard times. Thereby you
blessed us with the Bhagavad Gita and showed us your transcendental pastimes.
O Shyama Sundara, O master of all gods, you subject yourselves to your devotees love. Out of causeless
mercy. You slay the demons and deliver them to the Vaikuntha planets above.
O possessor of all opulences, O master of all mystic power. Your are time and thus the supplier and the
destroyer. So I thank you for supplying all that I have, and pray you to destroy all evils like lust and
anger.
Note: them in para 3 refers to both devotees and demons.
O cause of all the causes. You are the supreme. I shall feel happy and pure even if you manifest in my
dream.
O all pervading super soul, you are in y heart, O master of the senses, at least from within, order me
what I should do.
O mighty armed, O fallible one, you, my lord, are the protector of all. On committing a sin, bless me by
punishing thereby cleansing me once and for all.
O lotus eyed one, O father of all, you created me to serve you with devotion. But due to my materially
conditioned state, though your past and present, I have forgotten the relation.
O eternal lord, O master of all renunciation, I accept, with all faith, your authority. Please deliver me
through the gates of the universe, so that I can serve you for an eternity.
O universal form, o unlimited transcendental form. You are beyond time and space. I wish to be in my
constitutional position of serving you, by associating with you at your place.
O all attractive Krishna, O all merciful lord, bestow upon me your supreme grace. I wish to see your
transcendental form, and speak to you face to face.
O killer of Kesi, O killer of Kamsa, kill all the contamination inside me O lord Sri Krishna, bless me, that
your devotee I shall always be.

Happy Birthday to you
You gave us a very knowledge and you built 108 ISKCON for us.
Matter: - Attitude changed my life
Srila Prabhupada
ISKCON
Dear sir,
Dear Prabhupada
I was untruthful from childhood but suddenly when I attended the Values Plus class conducted by
ISKCON people. I was astonished by their statement and proverbs. At that time I realized what is a value
of a person and meaning of truthfulness and also discipline in my life. The moment I attended the class,
I thought of to change myself and the attitude. I was complete changed. Thank for all this.
Thanking you
Your faithful Child

My name is Vishwas and I am studying in a school called Vidyaniketan Public school in class VI E.
The ISKCON devotees come to our school and teach us some good values like cleanliness,
resourcefulness, discipline and much more. They give seals or stickers when we answer some brilliant
questions and do the exercises which they will give and they give papers called discover yourself after
one session and they will select three boys and girls from each class who have more stickers in their files
and they distribute some prizes like key-bunch, CD, and a pen-stand. Last year I was selected among 51
students in our class and I got a prize. I watched the CD which was gifted and it was so beautiful.
I like values plus very much, more than any other subjects in the class. You have done many great
things, like building ISKCON. I too like to chant 'Hare Krishna Mantra'. My teacher told that when there
was a train blast in Mumbai, there was a bomb in the train under a seat where two children and their
VyasaPuja2011

parents were sitting and chanting the Hare Krishna Mantra, the bomb exploded and only the two
children and their parents were alive. So I thought Hare Krishna Mantra was very powerful. So I daily
chant Hare Krishna Mantra three times. I like coming to ISKCON and I hope I will come to ISKCON on
23 August this month. I will be waiting for you to receive my message and reply it to me.
Thank you Srila Prabhupada,
Yours lovingly,

The values plus sessions that ISKCON Bangalore has been conducting in some of the schools has been a
huge success.It teaches the students various values that are very much essential in our lives. It persuades
us to become perfect human beings. The activities make an example of how to handle situations in real
life. I hope ISKCON continues the good work and the values plus sessions can be introduced in all the
schools
