Dear Śrīla Prabhupāda,

Please accept our humble obeisances at the dust of your lotus feet. All glories to you.

On behalf of the Yekaterinburg devotees, we would like to express our deep gratitude for your involvement in our lives. Your dedication, determination, and willingness to fulfill your spiritual master’s directive to spread Kṛṣṇa consciousness in the Western countries and the former Soviet Union have given our lives meaning, purpose, and the invaluable gift of Kṛṣṇa consciousness.

It is impossible for conditioned souls to find their way back home to God in the impenetrable darkness of the Kali age without the mercy and assistance of the great soul that you are. Your greatness lies in your pure devotion to Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa. This devotion is a rare gift and our great fortune. Through your boundless compassion, we, along with all humanity on this planet, have been given the opportunity to restore our lost relationship with Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa. There is nothing more valuable in all the three worlds than this opportunity. Therefore please bless us that we may always hold on to this mercy and fortune, and always be at your lotus feet.
