Dear Śrīla Prabhupāda,
Please accept our humble obeisances at your lotus feet.
On this auspicious day of your Vyāsa-pūjā, our thoughts turn toward how we can assist you in your plan to please your spiritual master and to how we can assist your servants in this endeavor. You spoke to us extensively about what that service is, but because this service is very confidential, we need to constantly turn to you to ensure we are on the right track.
You were once asked what service pleases you the most. You replied that what pleases you the most is that we become conscious of Kṛṣṇa. That way we will know what Kṛṣṇa wants and we will therefore know how to act and what to do in this Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement.
We may not be sufficiently pure to be conscious of Kṛṣṇa, but we always have you in your multimanifested powerful form as in your books, your mūrti, your dedicated devotees, your Śrīla Prabhupāda-līlāmṛta. He reasons ill who says that Vaiṣṇavas die.
Dear Śrīla Prabhupāda, please continue to be with us in our endeavors here in Dublin. Please give us the intelligence to carry out your will. Please give us the strength to do so. May we continue to cooperate to become Kṛṣṇa conscious and to share that Kṛṣṇa consciousness with others, in your service.
On behalf of your servants in Dublin, Ireland,
Manu Dāsa
