Our dearest savior, Śrīla Prabhupāda,
On this most auspicious occasion of your 129th appearance anniversary, we, your servants at
ISKCON Ballarpur, bow at your divine lotus feet with deep gratitude and reverence. You are the
empowered representative of Śrī Guru and Gaurāṅga, the beacon of transcendental wisdom, and
the tireless servant of Śrī Śrī Rādhā and Kṛṣṇa.
You gave the world the matchless treasure of Kṛṣṇa consciousness, making the sublime teach-
ings of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu accessible to every soul, regardless of nationality, caste, or
creed. With your unshakable faith in the holy names and your boundless compassion, you crossed
oceans and continents to establish a global movement that continues to illuminate the hearts of
millions.
Your books, your words, and your example continue to guide us on the path of pure devotional
service. Every verse of the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, every syllable of Bhagavad-gītā As It Is, and every
instruction in your letters and lectures is a lifeline for sincere seekers of the Absolute Truth. Your
vision was not merely to build temples and communities but to transform the hearts of men and
women, turning them into dedicated servants of Kṛṣṇa.
Śrīla Prabhupāda, we humbly acknowledge our limitations and shortcomings, yet we pray to
remain steadfast in your mission. May we develop the sincerity, humility, and unwavering deter-
mination that you embodied. May we become instruments in fulfilling your cherished desire to
flood this world with the chanting of the holy names:
Hare Kṛṣṇa Hare Kṛṣṇa, Kṛṣṇa Kṛṣṇa Hare Hare
Hare Rāma Hare Rāma, Rāma Rāma Hare Hare
On this Vyāsa-pūjā day we reaffirm our commitment to serve your mission with all our heart and
soul. Please bless us with the strength to follow in your footsteps, to protect and expand this
movement, and to remain always under your divine shelter.
Your eternal servants at ISKCON Ballarpur
