Dear Śrīla Prabhupāda,
Please accept our humble obeisances.
We are happy to be with you. Hearing your voice penetrates the coverings of our conditioning and creates in the depths of our hearts an atmosphere of love and faith in the process of devotional service.
Reading your commentaries on the scriptures transforms us from unpolished ignoramuses into sages, for we begin to comprehend their essence.
The example you set inspires us to walk the path of true renunciation and not be “cabinet thinkers.”
The pastimes you manifest repeatedly convince us to accept the perfection of life (pure devotional service) without deviating into karma and jñāna.
While residing at the Rādhā-Dāmodara temple in Vrindavan, you gaze at the mūrti of Rūpa Gosvāmī and seem lost in thought, but you are simply immersed in the pastimes of Caitanya Mahāprabhu, which have taken place, are taking place, and will continue to take place on this planet.
We always await your merciful glance upon our insignificant attempts in the service of Lord Caitanya’s mission.
