Jaya Śrīla Prabhupāda! Dear father, only refuge of fallen souls,
Your divine appearance is a new hope, a great wave in the flood of gaura-prema that will cover
the entire universe.
O ocean of mercy, thanks to you we have met Śrī Kṛṣṇa Caitanya, Nityānanda Prabhu, and all
Their associates. It is thanks to you that we have met Śrī Śrī Rādhā and Kṛṣṇa.
You have come from the divine land of Vrindavan to these Western countries to fulfill the wish
of your divine spiritual master. You dazzled us with your absolute and beautiful devotion to his
instructions, uniting each of your breaths with Lord Caitanya’s relief mission to the fallen souls.
Please hear our prayer and forgive our offenses. Lead us to purely chant the holy name of
the Lord. Your Divine Grace is like a drop of nectar upon our dry hearts, a lightning bolt that
illuminates our dark consciousness, a balm upon our wounds. You accept our insignificant and
unworthy offerings and bring them to the feet of the Lord. Purify our hearts so that we may be
better instruments in your mission. Grant that we may serve you birth after birth. Turn your gaze
upon us and accept the humble offering of those of us who aspire to be your eternal servants at
the Caracas mandira.
Jaya Śrīla Prabhupāda. Your fame extends throughout the three worlds.
Your servants in Caracas
