Dear Śrīla Prabhupāda,
Please accept our most humble obeisances at your divine lotus feet. All glories to Your Divine Grace, the founder-ācārya of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness, A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda.
On this most auspicious occasion of your Vyāsa-pūjā, we, your insignificant servants in Malaysia, offer our heartfelt gratitude for your boundless mercy in bringing the teachings of Bhagavad-gītā As It Is and Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam to the entire world. Currently, ISKCON Malaysia has twenty-four branches/temples across the country, and many nāma-haṭṭas. All of these are carrying out your preaching efforts.
Śrīla Prabhupāda, by your causeless mercy, the Malaysian yātrā has continued to make steady progress over the past year. Whatever little has been accomplished is solely due to your inspiration and blessings.
Temple and congregational development: Regular spiritual programs across Malaysia have been strengthened, including Bhāgavatam classes, Bhagavad-gītā study groups, and vibrant kirtan gatherings. Congregational preaching has expanded, with more families embracing Kṛṣṇa consciousness in their daily lives.
Major events and spiritual gatherings: By your mercy, several large-scale devotional events were successfully organized this year. The annual Hare Kṛṣṇa Convention, held in September 2025, brought together devotees across the country for association, classes, and kirtan. The Kirtan-melā, in June 2025, created a spiritually surcharged atmosphere, immersing participants in continuous chanting of the holy names.
The Vaiṣṇavī retreat, in May 2025, provided a dedicated platform for Vaiṣṇavīs to deepen their spiritual practices and association. In addition, house programs during the Dāmodara month were conducted extensively, allowing many families to host the Lord and engage in devotional service within their homes.
During the Deepavali carnivals, devotees actively participated in outreach efforts, sharing prasādam, kirtan, and spiritual literature with the wider community and introducing many newcomers to Kṛṣṇa consciousness.
Book distribution and outreach: Your transcendental books continue to be distributed throughout Malaysia, both physically and through online efforts. Many conditioned souls have had the opportunity to connect with your teachings through these initiatives.
Festival celebrations: Major festivals such as Janmāṣṭamī, Ratha-yātrā, and Gaura-Pūrṇimā were celebrated with great enthusiasm, drawing large crowds and inspiring many to take up devotional service. It is especially noteworthy that in Malaysia, more than twenty Ratha-yātrās are held annually.
Youth and educational programs: Youth engagement remains a priority, with regular youth gatherings, study sessions, and camps being conducted. Children’s spiritual education programs have also continued to develop steadily.
Prasādam distribution: Prasādam distribution has expanded significantly during festivals, outreach programs, and special events, benefiting many people and spreading your message of mercy.
Deity worship and standards: Efforts have been made to maintain and enhance the standards of Deity worship, ensuring that temple worship remains pure and uplifting. We finally managed to install Śrī Śrī Rādhā-Gokulacandra in the capital of Malaysia.
Challenges and aspirations: Despite these efforts, we remain aware of our many shortcomings. We sincerely pray for your mercy to improve our cooperation, humility, and dedication. Our aspiration is to expand your mission further across Malaysia and bring more souls to your lotus feet.
Dear Śrīla Prabhupāda, we have no qualification to serve you, yet we beg to become instruments in your divine mission. Thank you for giving us Kṛṣṇa, your books, and a life of purpose in devotional service.
Your insignificant servants,
The devotees in the Malaysia yātrā
