Dear Śrīla Prabhupāda,
Please accept our humble obeisances. All glories to Your Divine Grace.
You gave us a purpose, a meaning, and a reason to live. You gave us positive engagement. You gave us temples, devotee association, and loving exchanges. You gave us books in which we can find shelter and which have become our medium to serve others.
You gave us an example. Your deep devotion gives us faith. You gave us the morning program. We beg you to please guide us on how we may become internally pure. Please give us the intelligence, words, and strength to know how we can share the message among diverse audiences in western Michigan.
Your humble servants,
Shyāmānanda Krishna Dāsa
and the devotees of the ISKCON Grand Rapids community
