Dearest 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
Please accept our most humble obeisances at your lotus feet on the most auspicious occasion of your Vyāsa-pūjā. We offer our obeisances to all the elevated Vaiṣṇavas that have come before you.
We offer our gratitude for your courage and perseverance in bringing Kṛṣṇa consciousness across the ocean, to the fallen souls in North America. Without you, we may never have been able to recognize or reconnect with our true selves in the service of and devotion to the divine personality, Śrī Kṛṣṇa.
The legacy and growth of ISKCON around the world is a testament to your utter devotion, pure knowledge, and deep compassion for fallen souls like ourselves. We are so fortunate to have been initiated into and associated with ISKCON and to have the opportunity to continue to uphold your mission at ISKCON Regina.
Although we are a humble facility, our congregation continues to be uplifted by hearing your voice through your books and philosophy. We sing your name with deep reverence and gratitude for all that you have sacrificed and shared with us. May we always have the opportunity to continue in your service and in the service of Śrī Kṛṣṇa and Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī.
Without your legacy our lives would be meaningless. Thank you for enlightening and inspiring us to continue on the path of Kṛṣṇa consciousness. We are forever in your debt.
Jaya, jaya Śrīla Prabhupāda!
Always, your most humble servants,
The devotees at ISKCON Regina
