Dear Śrīla Prabhupāda,
Please accept our most humble obeisances at your divine lotus feet. All glories to you! All glo-
ries to your transcendental mission! On this most auspicious occasion of your Vyāsa-pūjā, we bow
down in deep gratitude, reflecting upon your boundless mercy and the ever-expanding impact of
your divine instructions in our lives.
Śrīla Prabhupāda, you are the very heart and soul of ISKCON. Your unflinching devotion to
Śrī Śrī Rādhā-Kṛṣṇa, your matchless compassion for fallen souls, and your unwavering commit-
ment to the mission of Lord Caitanya continue to inspire and guide us at every step of our spiri-
tual journey. Today, as we offer this humble report at your lotus feet, we acknowledge that every
achievement is solely due to your causeless mercy and empowerment.
By your grace, Bhaktivedanta Rajavidyalaya (BVRV) has been inaugurated, offering structured
śāstri courses to deepen devotees’ understanding of your teachings. This institute stands as a
beacon of transcendental education, nurturing the next generation of devotee preachers in our
community.
With immense joy, we also report that the Honorable Chief Minister of Telangana inaugurated
our grand Ratha-yātrā this year, bringing the divine darshan of Śrī Śrī Jagannātha-Baladeva-
Subhadrā Mahārāṇī to thousands of fortunate souls. The streets of Hyderabad echoed with the
holy names, as devotees danced, chanted, and distributed your books, carrying your transcen-
dental message far and wide. In total, about thirty-five Ratha-yātrās were conducted during the
Jagannātha Ratha-yātrā festival, spreading Kṛṣṇa’s mercy to numerous towns and villages.
On Janmāṣṭamī, more than two lakhs of people visited our temple, receiving Kṛṣṇa’s mercy
through darshan, prasādam, kīrtana, and your transcendental books. Your movement is truly ful-
filling Lord Kṛṣṇa’s prophecy that His holy names will be spread to every town and village!
With your divine inspiration, we have also established a goshala on our new land, ensuring
loving care for Kṛṣṇa’s dear cows. The opening of a new section at the Matchless Gifts stall, at our
main gate, now welcomes visitors, offering them spiritual books, devotional paraphernalia, and
sacred gifts to strengthen their Kṛṣṇa consciousness. Furthermore, the north gate of the temple
has been opened to the public and is now adorned with beautiful devotional dioramas and chan-
deliers. This creates a spiritually uplifting experience for all visitors.
Śrīla Prabhupāda, your divine mission of youth empowerment continues to flourish. We are
humbled to report that our fifteen VOICE centers, including the Mahajan Flats around the
temple, now connect over five hundred young boys, with two hundred of them staying as resi-
dent youth members and engaging in daily Kṛṣṇa conscious practices. Simultaneously, our Girls
VOICE programs reach over five hundred young women, guiding them on the path to spiritual
success. Additionally, our congregation has now grown to around fifteen hundred members,
including all the devotees in all our preaching centers, and they are being nourished in their spiri-
tual journeys.
Your merciful vision for training children in Kṛṣṇa consciousness is bearing fruit through
regular Sunday School programs on weekends, where young hearts are molded into future devo-
tees and leaders. Moreover, the brahmacārī ashram now has thirty-five dedicated brahmacārīs, who
serve tirelessly to spread your mission.
We are particularly grateful, Śrīla Prabhupāda, for your boundless blessings upon us in the
field of book distribution. In the recent marathon, we distributed 1.5 lakhs of Bhagavad-gītās,
securing second rank among all ISKCON medium temples worldwide. Additionally, the value
education contests in schools attracted 40,000 active student participants, all of whom received
Kṛṣṇa’s message and spiritual wisdom. This glorious success belongs to you alone, as your books
continue to transform the lives of countless souls across the world.
Śrīla Prabhupāda, we remain ever dependent on your mercy as we continue to serve Śrī Śrī
Rādhā-Madana-mohanajī and all the members of our ISKCON Abids community. We humbly
pray for your blessings so that we may serve with greater sincerity, dedication, and love, pushing
forward your divine mission in every way possible.
On this sacred occasion, we reaffirm our pledge to uphold and spread your teachings with
unwavering faith and devotion. May our lives be nothing but an instrument in your hands while
we serve the saṅkīrtana movement of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu under your divine shelter.
Your humble servants,
Varada Kṛṣṇa Dāsa, Rādheshyām Dāsa, Sītārām Dāsa
