Dear Śrīla Prabhupāda,
We humbly pay our prostrated obeisances unto your divine lotus feet with hearts filled with
gratitude, reverence, and love. You are the eternal well-wisher of all souls, the messenger of Lord
Śrī Kṛṣṇa’s mercy, and the shining beacon of light that illuminates our path in this material world.
Your teachings, your dedication to spreading Kṛṣṇa consciousness, and your compassion have
transformed the lives of millions and continue to inspire us every day.
Śrīla Prabhupāda, by your causeless mercy and boundless blessings, the ISKCON Aravade
temple is thriving as a spiritual sanctuary for devotees and newcomers alike. The temple activi-
ties, including book distribution and preaching programs, have been running smoothly and have
borne wonderful fruit. The enthusiastic efforts of our preachers have brought many souls closer to
Kṛṣṇa and enriched their spiritual journeys.
We cannot thank you enough for the divine gifts you gave us – a legacy of transcendental
knowledge, a global family of devotees, and the unwavering example of your surrender to the
Supreme Lord, Śrī Kṛṣṇa. Your mercy empowers us to carry forward your mission, and it is only
by your grace that we have initiated new projects to expand our service.
Under your guidance, Śrīla Prabhupāda, we are excited to share that construction of a
brahmacārī ashram is underway. This ashram will provide a nurturing environment for brahmacārīs
dedicated to practicing and propagating Kṛṣṇa consciousness. In addition, plans for a new Gov-
inda’s restaurant and a new bookshop are in progress. These projects will serve as avenues for con-
necting with the wider community and sharing the treasures of your books and teachings.
Śrīla Prabhupāda, none of this would be possible without your divine presence and blessings.
We offer our heartfelt gratitude for everything you have done for us and everything you continue
to do through your spiritual instructions and the association of devotees who carry forward your
mission. May we always remain steadfast in serving your divine vision and in spreading Kṛṣṇa
consciousness to every corner of the world.
On this auspicious day of your Vyāsa-pūjā, we bow down and offer our lives, words, and
actions to your lotus feet. Please bless us with the strength, humility, and devotion to fulfill your
instructions and bring glory to Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa.
All glories to Your Divine Grace, Śrīla Prabhupāda! All glories to the eternal service of Śrī
Guru and Gaurāṅga!
Your humble servants,
The devotees of ISKCON Aravade
