Dear Śrīla Prabhupāda,

Please accept our respectful obeisances. All glories to Your Divine Grace and your beloved Vyāsa-pūjā day.

Thank you for your only visit to ISKCON Denver, Colorado, during June-July 1975. We are deeply grateful to you for being with us each day through your vāṇī, manifest in your books, ­lectures, conversations, videos, mūrti, and photos. Please bless us to fully realize your presence.

In 1975, you graced us with your loving care. You named our small Deities Rādhā-Govinda. You kept a framed photo of Them in your Vrindavan quarters, as they resemble your childhood Deities, Rādhā-Govinda. You served Them throughout the līlā of your life on this planet, a continuation of your service in Goloka Vṛndāvana. They arranged for you to write Their books and spread the holy names around the world. They arranged for you to have Their presence and pastimes here in Denver so that we can learn to please Them through your saṅkīrtana movement. As Their pure instrument, you requested that They bless us with daily services that will eventually purify us to serve with rādhā-govinda-prema.

The unlimited compassion, love, and kindness that you daily give us is inconceivable. May we receive your grace to constantly increase our gratitude, service attitude, and pure execution of devotional service. May your blessings give us the spiritual strength to spread Kṛṣṇa consciousness increasingly.

During your visit, you appreciated Denver’s Deity worship, book distribution, devotees, and the temple building (a former church). Now it is our devotional happiness that we can continue with these services and simultaneously learn to please you more and eternally by your grace.

We are very grateful that you saved us from material consciousness and are giving us the saṅkīrtana movement to spread love of Godhead to all.

Your aspiring servants of the servants’ servants,

At New Badarikāśrama
