Dear Śrīla Prabhupāda,
Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to you.
With a heart full of gratitude, I turn to you to express my deepest appreciation for your incom-
parable sacrifice and mercy.
Despite all the difficulties – your advanced age, lack of resources, and the uncertainty of suc-
cess – you crossed the ocean with unwavering faith in the instructions of your spiritual master and
Lord Caitanya’s mission.
Thanks to your courage, millions of souls, including us, have received the most precious jewel:
Kṛṣṇa consciousness.
When I reflect on your dedication and tireless struggle, I feel such inspiration and admiration.
You faced challenges that would have discouraged anyone, yet you never lost faith in the words of
Lord Kṛṣṇa and the potency of the holy name. Your example is my greatest inspiration, and yet I
see how far I am from the necessary level of dedication and purity.
Śrīla Prabhupāda, in these times of so much global instability and generational change, I feel
deep concern for the continuity of the movement. The new generations seem increasingly distant
from spiritual institutions and are immersed in a world that promotes materialism, distraction,
and skepticism. It pains me to see that so many souls are losing the opportunity to receive this
transcendental knowledge.
I beg you to grant us your grace to develop the capacity to inspire others in the mission of
Kṛṣṇa consciousness. May we serve with sincere hearts, intelligence, and determination, and may
we help, even in a small way, to continue your glorious mission in this world.
Without your mercy and Kṛṣṇa’s, I know I have no qualifications, but I trust that with your
blessing, anything is possible. Please, Śrīla Prabhupāda, allow me to be an instrument in your
hands.
Your aspiring servant,
Dvārakā Dāsa
ISKCON Barcelona, co-president
