Our dearest Śrīla Prabhupāda,
Please accept our most humble obeisances at your lotus feet. All glories to Your Divine Grace.
On this most auspicious occasion of your Vyāsa-pūjā, we, the devotees of ISKCON
Ichalkaranji, offer our heartfelt obeisances at your divine lotus feet.
You are the transcendental gardener who has planted the seeds of Kṛṣṇa consciousness across
the barren fields of this material world, nurturing them with your boundless mercy and unfathom-
able love. Your spiritual vision, wisdom, and compassion illuminate our path as we humbly strive
to carry forward your glorious mission.
The distribution of your transcendental books remains one of our greatest sources of joy, touch-
ing countless souls and awakening their eternal relationship with Kṛṣṇa. Preaching programs
have also become a powerful instrument in spreading the divine message of the Bhagavad-gītā
and Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam to every corner of our community, inspiring new devotees and profound
transformations.
In addition to these efforts, we are deeply humbled and overjoyed to share an update that
fills our hearts with hope and unlimited excitement. By your divine blessings, a new temple for
Their Lordships Śrī Śrī Rādhā-Śyāmasundara is under construction. This temple is envisioned as
a spiritual sanctuary, where devotees and newcomers alike will experience the warmth and pres-
ence of the Divine Couple. Our aspiration is to complete this sacred project within the next year,
offering it as a humble service to Your Divine Grace and the community. This endeavor is a testa-
ment to our collective dedication to fulfilling your mission and establishing a haven where bhakti
flourishes.
Śrīla Prabhupāda, you are the guiding force behind all that we do, the eternal well-wisher of
every soul. You have given us everything – knowledge, purpose, and a loving spiritual family.
We remain forever indebted to you for your gift of causeless mercy. We earnestly pray that you
empower us with devotion, courage, and humility so that we may continue serving your divine
mission with sincerity and determination. May your words forever remain the guiding light of our
lives.
On this sacred day, we renew our commitment to spreading the glories of the Supreme Lord,
serving the devotees, and immersing ourselves in the nectar of Kṛṣṇa’s holy names. Please con-
tinue to guide us, Śrīla Prabhupāda, so that we may one day become true instruments of your
boundless compassion and love.
All glories to Your Divine Grace, Śrīla Prabhupāda! All glories to your tireless endeavor to
awaken the dormant spirituality within us all!
Your humble servants,
The devotees at ISKCON Ichalkaranji
