Dear Śrīla Prabhupāda,
Please accept our most humble obeisances at your lotus feet on this most auspicious occasion of your Vyāsa-pūjā. All glories unto you and your divine appearance day.
With hearts filled with gratitude, we thank you for allowing us another year in the service of your divine mission. It is only by your causeless mercy that we have any opportunity to serve. We sincerely pray to remain loyal to your instructions for the rest of our lives.
We have no qualification to glorify such an exalted personality as yourself. Whatever little we attempt to express can never do justice to your unlimited glories. What you have accomplished has never happened in the past, nor will it happen again in the future. Your unparalleled contribution to spreading the teachings of Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu continues to guide and inspire us at every step.
As a humble offering for your pleasure, we wish to report that by your inspiration, ISKCON Scarborough has endeavored to expand your mission. This year we have distributed more of your transcendental books than ever before. By your mercy, we have also collected a record amount of funds toward acquiring a new property, aspiring to create a center that will better facilitate devotional service and outreach.
Our congregational community continues to grow steadily, firmly rooted in the teachings of Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu. By your blessings, the Murari Bhakti School is inspiring hundreds of children and youth to take up Kṛṣṇa consciousness, nurturing the next generation of devotees.
By your divine grace, we were also able to extend your mission to the far northern region of Nunavut. For the very first time, the holy name was chanted, your books were distributed, prasādam was offered and shared, and discourses on Kṛṣṇa consciousness were conducted. This historic outreach was successfully carried out with the association and guidance of His Holiness Bhaktimārga Mahārāja with the support of ISKCON Scarborough.
As our community increases day by day, we eagerly look forward to expanding further once we are blessed with a larger property equipped with all necessary facilities to serve your mission more effectively.
Holding a blade of grass between our teeth, we offer our prostrated obeisances unto you again and again. We thank you for your boundless mercy and guidance. Whatever we have achieved is only by your grace. We pray that in the coming year we may become better instruments in your hands and expand your glories even further.
Your insignificant servants at ISKCON Scarborough
