Dear Śrīla Prabhupāda,
Please accept my prostrated obeisances unto the dust of your lotus feet.
Day by day your glories are exponentially progressing. Thousands of devotees have been writ-
ing your newer and newer glories as offerings to you for many, many years. But owllike persons
like me can’t understand your unlimited transcendental glories. Like the Lord, you are the well-
wisher of all:
(a) Atheists. You gave them sufficient proof so they can believe in God and affectionately called
them “rascals.”
(b) Impersonalists and members of other religions. You explained Lord Caitanya’s philosophy of
acintya-bhedābheda-tattva.
(c) Karmīs. You showed them that devotees enjoy more than karmīs enjoy and that the enjoyment
of devotees is eternal.
(d) Demigod worshipers. Whatever benefits these persons can get by worshiping demigods, you
showed them that more benefits can be gotten by worshiping the Lord. Even professional
Bhāgavatam reciters and other types of businessmen can earn a lot of money, by your mercy,
by propagating Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam and developing the holy dhāmas.
(e) Scholars. You gave them so much literature to read.
(f) Scientists. You gave them the science of Kṛṣṇa consciousness and defeated the false propa-
ganda of scientific claims like the moon landing and Darwinism, especially proving that life
comes from life.
(g) Viṣṇu worshipers. By explaining Lord Caitanya’s acintya-bhedābheda, you made it possible to
understand that Lord Viṣṇu is an avatāra of Lord Kṛṣṇa, and you gave them a most respected
place in society.
(h) Kṛṣṇa devotees. You taught that mādhurya-rasa, Kṛṣṇa’s rasa of conjugal love, is topmost
according to the Gauḍīya-darśana.
(i) People throughout the world. You fulfilled the meaning of “Jagannātha” by introducing Lord
Jagannātha to people everywhere in the Ratha-yātrā festival.
(j) The most fallen. You gave us, the most fallen, a most respectable position as Vaiṣṇavas after
giving us everything – even rāgānuga-bhakti, which your dear disciple His Holiness Bhakti
Chāru Swami taught so clearly.
Śrīla Prabhupāda, by your causeless mercy, the Ujjain devotees, with the help of the Madhya
Pradesh government, conducted an online Gītā contest based on your Introduction to the
Bhagavad-gītā, in which 646,240 students took part.
This year we want to perform Jagannātha Ratha-yātrā in all the schools of Madhya Pradesh
with the help of the government. This will only be possible if Your Divine Grace showers your
causeless mercy upon us.
Your name is indirectly mentioned in the Gopī-gītā where the gopīs cry and call you “bhūridā.”
Please give me the vision to appreciate your glories. Our bhakti is directly proportional to real-
izing your glories. That is why those who are broadcasting your glories are also bhūridā. Please
allow me to remain as an insignificant servant in your holy movement.
Servant of your eternal servant,
Bhakti Prema Swami
