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
It is our great fortune that we are in touch with such a divine personality as yourself. You first came into my life in form of your Bhagavad-gītā purports, and by your mercy I then got contact with ISKCON and your devotees.
If one reads about your life struggles and the milestones you achieved, then definitely one will accept you as the jagat-guru, because what you did, no one else could do past, present, or future. You are a Vaikuṇṭha man and true spiritual human being, who came of your own free will into this world to deliver the three worlds by giving us Kṛṣṇa and His pure devotees, your books, a morning sādhana program, prasādam to honor, and so many other gifts. All of this was done when you were at the advanced age of seventy, when you went abroad to preach. Within twelve years you had circled the earth fourteen times and translated and commentated so many books. You also wrote thousands of letters and established over one hundred temples. You slept only two hours a day. All of this is proof that you are a divine human being.
Now, because of you, we have more than seven hundred temples around the world and Ratha-yātrā festivals in so many places. You also introduced us to the divine Vṛndāvana and taught us how to do parikramās.
On this special occasion of your Vyāsa-pūjā day, Śrīla Prabhupāda, I pray that you please forgive me and bless me and all the devotees serving here at ISKCON Ghaziabad so that by your mercy, we will strictly follow the authentic guru-śiṣya paramparā, under your guidance and shelter.
Your servant,
Mahābhāva Gaura Dāsa
and the devotees of the Śrī Śrī Rādhā-Madana Mohana temple
