Dear Śrīla Prabhupāda,
Please accept our humble obeisances at your lotus feet.
In a lecture of yours, given on Gaura-Pūrṇimā in 1976, you say, “Kṛṣṇa is prepared to be
appreciated by you in any condition of life if you take His instruction how to realize Him.” You
elaborate that remembering Kṛṣṇa even in everyday activities, like drinking water or seeing the
sunshine in the daytime or the moonshine in the nighttime is devotional service, or smaraṇam. It
can be that simple.
Always ready to reciprocate with the living entities wherever they’re at, the Lord appears
according to our individual qualifications for understanding Him. You say, “If you want to under-
stand the Absolute Truth, you can realize Him.… You can realize the Absolute Truth in any way.
He is prepared to manifest Himself as you desire.”
This broad accessibility to Kṛṣṇa is your signature offering. Our prayer on this Vyāsa-pūjā day
is that we live as active agents of this offering.
Your servants, with love, at New Badarikashram
