Dear Śrīla Prabhupāda,
Please accept our humble obeisances.
At the Latin BBT, our motto is Śāstra Sevā, the art of serving your books by translating them,
compiling them, editing them, designing and laying them out, printing them, and also reading
and studying them, distributing them, encouraging others to read and distribute them, put-
ting them into practice in our lives, and serving in so many other ways. Thus, by focusing our
lives on your words (guru-mukha-padma-vākya), we try to always remain fixed at your lotus feet
(śrī-guru-caraṇa-padma).
In this way, enlivened by the divine influx of your presence in your books, we go out of our
comfort zone and try to help you in this mission of spreading your books all over the region. We
innovate in the methods of distribution, trying to inspire our large congregations and encour-
age them in Śāstra Sevā; we communicate with the saṅkīrtana devotees and try to serve them and
facilitate their distribution with campaigns and promotions; we ourselves go out onto the streets
to present these luminous books to the conditioned souls; and above all, we apply ourselves to
practicing what’s in your books – reading them and chanting Hare Kṛṣṇa with the fervent desire
that one day the darkness of false ego will leave our hearts and we will have the qualification to be
lifted by your loving hands into the presence of Kṛṣṇa.
Always praying for your blessing, and with all love and gratitude,
Your humble servant,
Nṛsiṁha-kṛpa Dāsa
On behalf of your servants at the Latin Division of the Bhaktivedanta Book Trust
