Dear Śrīla Prabhupāda,
Please accept my humble obeisances in the dust of your lotus feet. All glories to Your Divine
Grace!
We, your servants at Vraja Ecovillage in the Philippines, would like to express to you our deep-
est gratitude on this most auspicious day of your appearance. We pray for your continued mercy
in our lives, for without it we would struggle with the challenges of this dark age.
Śrīla Prabhupāda, your unwavering perseverance and dedication teach us to move forward in
all circumstances. We are grateful for your teachings, which cover the following important points:
1. Translation and writing: Your efforts to translate and write scripture have enabled us to share
these sacred texts with people around the world, making spiritual knowledge accessible to all.
2. Establishing temples and communities: You laid the foundation for temples, communities, and
educational institutions globally, fostering spiritual growth and connection.
3. Outreach: By traveling the world you set a remarkable example of sharing Lord Kṛṣṇa’s
teachings, creating opportunities for others to engage in service and deepen their spiritual
practices.
4. Promoting bhakti-yoga: Your emphasis on practicing devotional service has encouraged count-
less individuals to cultivate a meaningful relationship with Kṛṣṇa.
5. Prasādam distribution: You emphasized the significance of sharing prasādam and educational
programs, which cultivate compassion and unity among devotees.
Without your books and the diaries of your disciples, which chronicle your kindness in spreading
Lord Caitanya’s mission, we would be lost in darkness and ignorance. Your teachings, your devo-
tees, your temples, and the spiritual wisdom you impart provide us with shelter and guidance.
We humbly ask for your continued mercy to help us glorify you together and to embrace
Your Divine Grace. May our farm community have the opportunity to actively participate in the
saṅkīrtana movement in your honor!
With deep respect and devotion,
The servants at Vraja Ecovillage
