My dear Śrīla Prabhupāda,
Please accept our respectful obeisances at your lotus feet. All glories to you, O master at whose
feet all other masters bow. By your mercy, a lame man can cross mountains, a blind man can see
the stars in the sky, a dumb man can recite eloquent poetry, and the most fallen can return home,
back to Godhead.
On this most glorious occasion of your appearance day, we want to thank you immensely for
all the mercy you are giving us. You are very much present in the form of your wonderful mūrti
and very alive in our mandir. Thank you for allowing us to serve you.
In this Kali-yuga, the yuga-dharma is the saṅkīrtana-yajna taught by Caitanya Mahāprabhu. You
spread this saṅkīrtana movement all over the world by traveling fourteen times around this planet.
You are a very dear servant of Śrī Kṛṣṇa Caitanya, who came to establish the true teachings of
Śrīla Vyāsadeva for the benefit of suffering humanity. Your greatness is constantly increasing as
your Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement continues to expand day by day.
All glories to you and the saṅkīrtana mission of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu!
Looking back at the past years of your ISKCON Heidelberg temple, by your mercy, all the
departments have improved considerably.
By Śrī Śrī Gaura-Nitāi’s arrangement, many devotees are now coming to our temple from dif-
ferent parts of the world. Russians and Ukranians enhance your saṅkīrtana movement here in
Germany – twice a month we go on harināma through the streets of Heidelberg, Mannheim, or
Karlsruhe. We also go to Baden-Baden and Frankfurt, distributing your books along the way as
well as prasādam, for your pleasure. The people, by your mercy, are more receptive to Kṛṣṇa con-
sciousness. Your books are distributed on harināmas and in the temple, where we have Bhagavad-
gītās, Śrīmad-Bhāgavatams, and other books in many languages. The distribution of kṛṣṇa-prasādam
gives the people a taste of the nectar for which everyone hankers.
Our community has grown by the affluence of the Indians working in enterprises near our
temple, and by the divine plan, they are very happy to come to the temple and revive their lost
culture as well as to find a spiritual family.
Our pūjārī and kitchen departments have built up very nicely, with many pūjārīs and many
cooks serving you and Śrī Śrī Gaura-Nitāi with a high standard and devotion.
Dear Śrīla Prabhupāda, thank you for giving us this wonderful Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement.
We are eternally indebted to you! Śrīla Prabhupāda kī jaya!
Your servant,
Śrījī Devī Dāsī
on behalf of the devotees at ISKCON Heidelberg
