Dear Śrīla Prabhupāda,
nama oṁ viṣṇu-pādāya kṛṣṇa-preṣṭhāya bhū-tale
śrīmate bhaktivedānta-svāminn iti nāmine
namas te sārasvate deve gaura-vāṇī-pracāriṇe
nirviśeṣa-śūnyavādi-pāścātya-deśa-tāriṇe
We want you to know – you are our heart and soul. You came to the Western world on the order of your Guru Mahārāja, carrying the mission of Kṛṣṇa consciousness purely in your heart with unwavering faith and compassion for all conditioned souls.
In that same spirit, we are trying to serve your mission here in Barrie, Ontario. We are small and limited, but we sincerely pray for your mercy so that this place may become fertile ground in the true sense, where sincere devotees can grow, deepen their faith, and remain steady in service to Kṛṣṇa.
If ever we fall short, we pray to rise again only for you, only for your pleasure, and only to keep your instructions alive in our hearts and actions.
Please continue to guide us, protect us, and keep us connected to your lotus feet.
With deepest gratitude and humility,
The devotees at ISKCON Barrie
