Dear Śrīla Prabhupāda,
Please accept our humble obeisances. All glories to you.
Recently, at a North American leadership meeting, we were asked a profound question during
a breakout session: What motivates us most deeply in our hearts to serve in ISKCON? As we
reflected, two distinct answers emerged.
The first was our deep sense of indebtedness to you, Śrīla Prabhupāda. The second was our
heartfelt desire to help others.
Upon deeper contemplation, we realized that these two answers are, in essence, one and the
same. You envisioned spreading Mahāprabhu’s flag far and wide, manifesting the global flood of
love of Godhead – like that Sherwin-Williams logo you once appreciated. You brought this vision
to life through your missionary activities, which were a natural expression of your own ecstatic
love for Kṛṣṇa.
We have all been swept up in that flood and are profoundly grateful to you. In appreciation,
this year and every year, we rededicate ourselves to carrying forward your mission – blessing the
world with His Divine Grace.
Your servants at ISKCON Laguna Beach
