Dear Śrīla Prabhupāda,
Please accept our most humble obeisances. All glories to Your Divine Grace!
As you resided at Śrī Śrī Rādhā-Dāmodara temple in Vrindavan, your heart was wholly
absorbed in the divine order of your spiritual master, eager to fulfill the sacred mission of Śrī
Caitanya Mahāprabhu. Filled with boundless compassion, you embarked on an arduous jour-
ney to the Western world, enduring immense hardships to deliver the matchless gift of Kṛṣṇa
consciousness.
We, the aspiring followers of your beloved servants here in Sacramento, are struggling to
imbibe even a drop of that compassion with which you selflessly preached. In our small capac-
ity, we seek to serve the people of this land, who remain unaware of the supreme joy of Kṛṣṇa
consciousness.
On this most auspicious occasion of your Vyāsa-pūjā, we offer our heartfelt prayers at your
lotus feet. Kindly bless us so we may rise above our selfish concerns and dedicate our lives sin-
cerely to assisting you and your loyal servants. May we serve in such a way that this glorious
legacy of Kṛṣṇa consciousness continues to illuminate the world for generations to come. Thank
you very much.
Servants of your humble servants at ISKCON Sacramento
