Beloved Śrīla Prabhupāda,
Please accept our most respectful obeisances at your divine lotus feet. All glories to Śrī Cai-
tanya Mahāprabhu’s saṅkīrtana movement!
On this auspicious day of Śrī Vyāsa-pūjā, on behalf of our ISKCON Bogotá community we
want to give enormous thanks for your mercy and compassion toward us and all conditioned
souls in this material world. In this year 2025, we are celebrating eight years of having started
this humble preaching project which, thanks to your blessings, we have been able to carry out
throughout these years. We have managed to build a beautiful community, which has become
established as the main axis for the distribution of your transcendental books, the congregational
chanting of the holy name of Kṛṣṇa, and the transcendental distribution of kṛṣṇa-prasādam.
We are around one hundred people or more who make up this vibrant community, and for
three years we have been operating from a beautiful house located in an exclusive sector of our
city of Bogotá – a place we consider an attempt to worthily represent the caliber of your position
as founder-ācārya. We take this auspicious opportunity to humbly plead for your blessings to
overcome all the challenges that currently arise and that could jeopardize the continuity of this
preaching project. We know that any difficulties that arise are nothing more than the result of our
lack of experience and low level of Kṛṣṇa consciousness, but since we also know that your heart
is unlimitedly merciful, we beg you to forgive our mistakes and allow us to continue to have the
great privilege of representing your glorious ISKCON mission in this city.
Always aspiring to remain your servants,
ISKCON Community in Bogotá
(written by Harināma Gaurāṅga Dāsa, temple president)
