Our dear Śrīla Prabhupāda,
Please accept our humble obeisances at your divine lotus feet. All glories to you, our savior from the repeated cycle of birth and death.
On this most auspicious occasion of your Vyāsa-pūjā, we, the residents of Krishna Valley, in Bambra, Australia, offer our heartfelt gratitude for your boundless mercy and compassion. By your divine vision and tireless efforts, you have given the world the greatest treasure – the chanting of the holy names of the Lord – and a practical way of life centered on devotion, simplicity, and service.
Śrīla Prabhupāda, Krishna Valley exists only because of your desire to establish farm communities, where people can live in harmony with nature, protect cows, grow their own food, and cultivate Kṛṣṇa consciousness in a natural and joyful way. Every tree, every garden bed, every kirtan, and every guest who walks through our gates is a reflection of your mercy.
We especially pray for your blessings as we strive to expand our outreach by welcoming more visitors and tourists to Krishna Valley. We see this not as a material endeavor, but as an opportunity to serve your mission and to give people a glimpse of a spiritually vibrant lifestyle. When guests come here, take prasādam, walk through the gardens, meet the cows, and hear the holy name, their hearts are touched in ways that words alone cannot achieve.
Please empower us to develop this place in such a way that it becomes a beacon of spiritual hospitality, where people from all walks of life feel nourished, uplifted, and inspired to inquire about higher truths. Let our efforts to increase tourism be guided by sincerity, purity, and a genuine desire to serve, not by profit or prestige.
Kindly help us to work cooperatively, selflessly, and enthusiastically, so that Krishna Valley may flourish as a living example of your teachings. May every visitor leave with the seed of bhakti planted in their heart, and may we always remember that we are simply instruments in your divine plan.
We are eternally indebted to you, Śrīla Prabhupāda, for giving us this path, this community, and this opportunity to serve.
Your servants,
The residents of Krishna Valley
