Dear Śrīla Prabhupāda,
Please accept our most humble obeisances at your divine lotus feet.
It was an open secret that your greatest priority was to write, print, and distribute your Kṛṣṇa
conscious books. You were so intent on blessing the world with the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam and other
books that you would write tirelessly throughout the night, every night, regardless of what time
you arrived at a temple or rested.
In 1965, you came to the United States with nothing but some trunks filled with three-volume
sets of the First Canto of Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam. When planning your upcoming mission to preach
in the West, you were uncertain, due to the frailties of old age, if you could successfully complete
your Bhaktivedanta purports for the entire Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam. Consequently, you included all of
the essential philosophy in those first three volumes.
Once established in the United States, and in the same mood as with the first printing of
Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, you wrote, Kṛṣṇa, The Supreme Personality of Godhead (the Kṛṣṇa book), a sum-
mary study of the Tenth Canto and a collection of the Lord’s most intimate loving Vrindavan
pastimes. Normally, we are recommended to study the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam from its beginning and
only gradually make our way to the Tenth Canto, but in the same mood of urgency that prompted
you to concentrate on the essential philosophy in the First Canto, you summarized the Tenth
Canto to give us an opportunity to become attracted to the Lord’s intimate Vrindavan pastimes.
We did not understand until years later, when you also gave us the Caitanya-caritāmṛta, that in
fact one of Lord Caitanya’s confidential reasons for appearing in this world was to give us fortu-
nate human beings of Kali-yuga a chance to associate with Him (Lord Kṛṣṇa) in a pure, intimate
way, without any sentiment of awe and veneration. As Lord Caitanya’s representative, you gave us
that same opportunity through your teachings.
In the Caitanya-caritāmṛta it is described that after ending His earthly pastimes, Lord Kṛṣṇa,
contemplating appearing as Lord Caitanya, considered as follows:
If one regards Me as the Supreme Lord and himself as a subordinate, I do not become
subservient to his love, nor can it control Me. In whatever transcendental mellow My
devotee worships Me, I reciprocate with him. That is My natural behavior. In whatever
way My devotees surrender unto Me, I reward them accordingly. “Everyone follows
My path in all respects, O son of Pṛthā.” If one cherishes pure loving devotion to
Me, thinking of Me as his son, his friend or his beloved, regarding himself as great
and considering Me his equal or inferior, I become subordinate to him. (Caitanya-
caritāmṛta, Ādi-līlā 4.17–22)
Lord Caitanya only appears in this world once in a day of Lord Brahmā, or once every one thou-
sand Kali-yugas. Considering the duration of both the day and night of Lord Brahmā, this would
be a total of 8,640,000,000 years. We are so fortunate that Lord Caitanya’s divine appearance
took place only about five hundred years ago. You, Śrīla Prabhupāda, have made us even more
fortunate by delivering His message to the world. And your message was not restricted or con-
fined to only a few, but rather has become accessible to everyone through the internet, mass print-
ing, your lectures, and the tireless work of many of your disciples and granddisciples who have
been inspired and empowered by you.
Śrīla Prabhupāda, please help us at ISKCON Miami to increase our study, hearing, and teach-
ing of Lord Caitanya and the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam. Throughout the world there are many devotees
who have developed proven methods of selling your books, inspiring new people to advance on
this path, and methods to care for and enliven devotees who have already come. These success-
ful devotees have not created anything new in principle; they have simply applied the principles
given to us by yourself and the previous ācāryas. One of those principles for success is to be
enthusiastic, and enthusiasm means “To make some endeavor, using your intelligence in Kṛṣṇa
consciousness.”
We pray that at ISKCON Miami we may also enthusiastically endeavor to do our part in this
glorious mission of propagating the Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement all over the world.

Dear Śrīla Prabhupāda,
Please accept our humble obeisances at your lotus feet.
nama oṁ viṣṇu-pādāya kṛṣṇa-preṣṭhāya bhū-tale
śrīmate bhaktivedānta-svāminn iti nāmine
I offer my respectful obeisances unto His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda, who is very dear to Lord Krsna on this earth, having taken shelter at His lotus feet.
namas te sārasvate deve gaura-vāṇī-pracāriṇe
nirviśeṣa-śūnyavādi-pāścātya-deśa-tāriṇe
Our respectful obeisances are unto you, O spiritual master, servant of Sarasvatī Gosvāmī. You are kindly preaching the message of Lord Caitanyadeva and delivering the Western countries, which are filled with impersonalism and voidism.
Beginning in the early days of your newly established International Society for Kṛṣṇa Consciousness, you spoke in your lectures and wrote in your books about the impersonalists and the dangerous effects of impersonalism and voidism. Generally, especially in the United States, we did not understand the significance of your words. We assumed that your reference to impersonalism and voidism was some far-fetched philosophy that could only be found in India and that it was irrelevant to the Western world. Still, it seemed odd that in your second praṇām–mantra we regularly glorify you for delivering the Western world from the effects of impersonalism and voidism.
Gradually we understood that impersonalism and voidism had already infiltrated our lives in many ways, perhaps not with the presentation of the deep, misleading philosophical arguments of the Māyāvādīs, but with the general concepts that God does not exist, or that He is impersonal and that real knowledge can only be attained by man’s personal endeavor, speculation, and experimentation. In general, Western civilization had been brainwashed with the assumption that real knowledge can only be attained through the material sciences and other means of direct sensual perception, and not simply from the perfect source: God.
You preached very heavily against the materialistic, atheistic scientists. You did not preach against science per se, because the Vedas are full of science. You preached against two particular goals of science. First was the idea that life has come about as the result of material interactions. The second was the idea that the material cosmic manifestation came about accidentally and without any intelligent direction, in spite of our practical experience that there is great order in the movements of the planets, stars, and nature, and we never find order anywhere without intelligent intervention.
Why did you take the trouble to preach in this way, even though many people held the material scientists in high esteem? You preached this way because your goal was to give the world the real science. You did not criticize science, but rather you showed the world what real science is. You pointed out that what is generally taught as science in the textbooks and scientific papers is largely speculation, because many of the ideas that are presented as facts are later proven to be false. On the other hand, the Vedic science is never wrong and never changes because it comes from the Lord Himself. Lord Kṛṣṇa says in the Bhagavad-gītā (4.1) “I instructed this imperishable science of yoga to the sun god, Vivasvān, and Vivasvān instructed it to Manu, the father of mankind, and Manu in turn instructed it to Ikṣvāku.”
Śrīla Prabhupāda, you preached that real science never changes. It comes from the Supreme Lord, and He is not a cheater, nor does He have imperfect senses, nor is He in illusion, nor does He make mistakes. You also, as the Lord’s pure representative, do not have these imperfections, and therefore you have presented this science as it is without deviation.
It is also very significant and to your eternal credit that you had full faith in the Vedic knowledge and also that you had the determination to present the Vedic knowledge as Lord Kṛṣṇa gave it without making changes just to satisfy the local population. In other words, you were not a politician who would lie to and cheat the people to secure votes just to be elected to some public office. You always spoke the truth as it is, regardless of whether it was popular or not.
Often, the scientific community has downplayed or dismissed discoveries that challenge widely accepted theories, such as Darwin’s evolution or concepts of gradual universal development, rather than unsettling the public consensus. Your glory was that you did not come into this world to find many followers. You came to remind the people in general of what they had forgotten: their eternal relationship with the Lord.
To address the materialistic and atheistic concepts found in the material sciences, you very intelligently engaged and empowered some of your disciples who had scientific credentials in using their scientific knowledge and also their understanding of the Vedic conclusions, in preaching to the scientific community. You knew that the normal rank and file of devotees, even though they accepted the Vedic principles, would have a difficult time preaching to the material scientists without being able to relate to the scientists in their own language and with reference to their own discoveries and conclusions. Therefore, you established the Bhaktivedanta Institute which continues to present the conclusions of our teachings to the material scientific community. You always taught us that we should preach according to time, place, and the particular circumstances and audiences.
Therefore, Śrīla Prabhupāda, your life is always glorious because you have boldly preached the absolute truth without deviation.
Here at ISKCON Miami, we are also trying our best to present the same conclusions to the people in general. We do not presently have devotees who can preach to the material scientific community in their own language, but we are trying our best to find the ways and means to present Kṛṣṇa consciousness to everyone according to their means. We pray that you will continue to guide us and empower us to expertly present the eternal Vedic principles to our variegated community according to their own areas of understanding.

Dear Śrīla Prabhupāda,
nama oṁ viṣṇu-pādāya kṛṣṇa-preṣṭhāya bhū-tale
śrīmate bhaktivedānta-svāmin iti nāmine
namas te sārasvate deve gaura-vāṇī-pracāriṇe
nirviśeṣa-śūnyavādi-pāścātya-deśa-tāriṇe
As we gather to celebrate your auspicious Vyāsa-pūjā ceremony, we are humbled by your compas-
sionate preaching. At an advanced age, you traveled to a foreign country without money, contacts,
manpower, or physical strength – driven solely by one purpose: to serve your Guru Mahārāja.
You did not come to gather mundane followers, earn money, gain fame, seek a job, or pursue a
degree. Nor did you come to start a business or establish a large following, as many yoga teachers
did. You came not to take but to give pure Kṛṣṇa consciousness to all.
Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura, who valiantly spread Kṛṣṇa consciousness across
India, wanted so much to spread the message overseas. He sent a couple of disciples to London
with instructions to preach Mahāprabhu’s message in English to the Western world. Unfor-
tunately, those disciples returned after some time and proclaimed that Westerners were not
interested in the message. So your Guru Mahārāja instructed you to print books and spread the
message. You took his instruction to heart, and to fulfill the desire of your Guru Mahārāja you
charted a plan to execute his tall order.
After immense struggle, the long-awaited day of your departure for the West finally arrived.
You took your meager possessions – a suitcase, an umbrella, a supply of dry cereal, and a trunk of
your books. You didn’t know what you would find to eat in America, but you were determined to
serve your guru to the best of your ability.
Here are some memories we’ve heard from your disciples:
Śrīla Prabhupāda had his own style of answering questions: Once, a middle-aged, well-to-do Indian
businessman challenged Śrīla Prabhupāda, “Why are you building new temples when there are so
many old temples in need of renovation and repair?” Śrīla Prabhupāda didn’t answer the question
directly. Instead, he asked the gentleman, “Who is that lady sitting next to you?” The man said,
“She’s my wife.” Prabhupāda asked, “Why did you get married?” The man was flabbergasted and
couldn’t answer, so Prabhupāda said, “You got married because you wanted to have children. But
why have children when there are so many children loitering in the streets? Just as you want to
have your own child, similarly a devotee wants to build a temple, install the Deity, and offer the
temple to Kṛṣṇa.”
Śrīla Prabhupāda taught true compassion: Śrīla Prabhupāda was strict, but also compassionate
and concerned. For example, for at least two months before he passed away, he wasn’t eating
anything. Occasionally he accepted some fruit juice or a little diluted milk, but still, he regu-
larly inquired, “How are the devotees eating? How is the devotee prasādam?” One day, Śrīla
Prabhupāda asked me to check out the devotee prasādam. I came back and told him that the
prasādam was not so nice. Śrīla Prabhupāda called the temple president and reprimanded him. He
asked, “Why is the prasādam not nice?” Śrīla Prabhupāda himself hadn’t eaten for two months,
but still he was concerned about how the devotees were eating.
Śrīla Prabhupāda teaches true advancement: In Juhu, a senior godbrother was annoyed with me
and was chastising me heavily. I felt bad that he chastised me. When I went to Śrīla Prabhupāda,
Prabhupāda said, “The sign of one’s spiritual advancement is not the big position one has. The
real sign of advancement is how humble and tolerant one has become.” That instruction took
away all the heaviness in my heart and I often remember it. The sign of our advancement is not in
our position but in how humble and tolerant we have become.
Śrīla Prabhupāda (guru) knows all: One morning in Vrindavan, Śrīla Prabhupāda asked me to
prepare two varieties of spinach – green and red – as well as pumpkin, radish, eggplant, and
bitter melon. I went to the market to buy everything. When I came back, I told Śrīla Prabhupāda,
“Prabhupāda, I got everything.” Śrīla Prabhupāda asked, “What did you get?” “I got two varieties
of spinach, eggplant, pumpkin, and radish.” Then I remembered that I had forgotten to get bitter
melon. It was stupid of me, but I lied to Śrīla Prabhupāda and told him I’d also purchased bitter
melon. I thought I’d arrange to get the bitter melon later.
To my surprise, Śrīla Prabhupāda told me to bring the vegetables. I ran out. At that time there
was an employee in the guesthouse named Kishan. I gave him some money and said, “Go to the
market and get some bitter melon.” I thought he’d take ten or fifteen minutes, and in the mean-
time, I went to the kitchen and started to prepare everything. Kishan came back and said, “There
is no bitter melon in the market.” I knew that there was also no bitter melon in any of the temple
kitchens. I felt as if the whole world was crumbling. I prayed to Kṛṣṇa, “Please save me! Now I
have to tell Śrīla Prabhupāda that I lied to him and that I forgot the bitter melon.” I was think-
ing, “Prabhupāda is going to get annoyed with me, and who knows what kind of chastisement I’ll
get.” I was so dazed that instead of taking the usual passage next to the temple to Prabhupāda’s
kitchen, I started to go through the gurukula building, and there, on the balcony of the guru-
kula was a green bitter melon. I pounced on it and ran, thanking Kṛṣṇa in every possible way.
Prabhupāda was taking his massage when I went into his room with all the vegetables. He told
me how to cut them, and finally I said, “Prabhupāda, and the bitter melon?” Prabhupāda looked
at me and said, “Bitter melon?” Just the way Śrīla Prabhupāda said “bitter melon” convinced me
beyond any doubt that he knew what had happened.
Śrīla Prabhupāda brought Vrindavan: Śrīla Prabhupāda’s presence was so powerful that when you
came into his presence you felt as if you were no longer part of the material world. You felt that
you were in some kind of a spiritual, transcendental environment. I didn’t know about Vrindavan
then, but nowadays we would say that Prabhupāda brought Vrindavan with him. We felt the Vrin-
davan mood whenever we came into Prabhupāda’s presence. He was carrying Kṛṣṇa in his heart.
Śrīla Prabhupāda was most merciful: Once, Śrīla Prabhupāda was giving a lecture about how we
have to be cent percent Kṛṣṇa conscious. He was ramming home the point that we have to sur-
render to Kṛṣṇa one hundred percent. At the end of the class, the devotees were serious, looking
down, thinking, “Who can come up to the standard of complete surrender?” As if he could read
their minds, Prabhupāda relaxed his mood a little bit and said, “If you can be ninety percent
Kṛṣṇa conscious, then you can also go back to Godhead.” He was on a large, high vyāsāsana,
four feet tall, and he had to climb down some steps to get off the vyāsāsana. As he started down,
he said, “Even if you are eighty percent surrendered, Kṛṣṇa will still take you.” Then he got off
the vyāsāsana and started walking away. His chaddar was flowing behind him, dragging on the
ground. He stopped, looked at the devotees, and said, “Even if you are seventy percent Kṛṣṇa
conscious, still Kṛṣṇa will take you.” He threw his chaddar over his shoulder and walked off with
his head high.
Śrīla Prabhupāda is protecting us: Śrīla Prabhupāda was walking down the stairs in Calcutta.
Many devotees were there. He slipped a little, and it looked like he was going to fall. One of the
senior devotees said, “Watch out, Śrīla Prabhupāda.” Prabhupāda stopped and said, “It is your
responsibility to watch out. You have to take care of the body of the spiritual master. The spiritual
master looks out for your spiritual well-being, but as far as whether I fall or not, that you have to
guard against.”
Today is set aside for deep reflection on the immense sacrifices you made for us, Śrīla
Prabhupāda. Contemplating your sacrifices helps guide us on our journey both in this life and
beyond, as we strive to keep Kṛṣṇa at the center. In our lives, we must strive to imbibe your
true teachings with unwavering sincerity, free from deviation and distraction. Śrīla Prabhupāda,
embodying Kṛṣṇa’s compassion, you came to rescue us just as Kṛṣṇa saved the cowherd boys
from the deadly mouth of Aghāsura, who represents the powerful grip of the material energy in
this Age of Kali. We humbly offer our obeisances at your lotus feet, praying for your mercy and
blessings so that we may remain firmly committed to the principles of your ISKCON.
Your humble servants,

Hare Kṛṣṇa, dear Śrīla Prabhupāda and his devotees,
Please accept our humble obeisances. All glories to His Divine Grace.
Today we are gathered to celebrate the auspicious Vyāsa-pūjā ceremony for Śrīla Prabhupāda, who saved the world through his compassionate preaching. At an advanced age, he traveled from Calcutta to Boston without almost any money, a single contact, no manpower, a little physical strength – driven solely by one purpose: to serve his Guru Mahārāja, Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Gosvāmī.
Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī stated:
There has not been and there will not be such benefactors of the highest merit as Caitanya Mahāprabhu and His devotees have been. The offer of other benefits is only a deception; it is rather a great harm, whereas the benefit done by Him and His followers is the truest and greatest eternal benefit. This benefit is not for one particular country, causing mischief to another; but it benefits the whole universe.
In the Bhagavad-gītā (6.29) Kṛṣṇa says of the true yogi: “A true yogi observes Me in all beings and also sees every being in Me. Indeed, the self-realized person sees Me, the same Supreme Lord, everywhere.”
In a lecture delivered in 1968 in Seattle on the disappearance day of his sannyāsa-guru, Śrīla Prabhupāda said:
I was sitting alone in Vṛndāvana, writing. My godbrother insisted to me, “Bhaktivedanta Prabhu, you must do it. Without accepting the renounced order of life, nobody can become a preacher.” So he insisted. Not he insisted; practically my spiritual master insisted. He wanted me to become a preacher, so he forced me through this godbrother: “You accept.” So, unwillingly I accepted
One of Śrīla Prabhupāda’s disciples told us, “If you become conscious of Śrīla Prabhupāda, then you will surely become Kṛṣṇa conscious.” This highlights the profound truth that by following and understanding His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda, one naturally develops pure devotion to Kṛṣṇa.
Śrīla Prabhupāda himself always gave full credit for all his achievements to his spiritual master, Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura, demonstrating perfect humility and guru-niṣṭhā (firm faith in the spiritual master).
Never Give Up
On one occasion, when Śrīla Prabhupāda was visiting one city, he remarked that the city was filled with ignorance and its people hardhearted, like stone. Hearing this, one of his disciples asked, “Śrīla Prabhupāda, should we leave this city and go somewhere else?”
Śrīla Prabhupāda firmly replied, “That does not mean we are going to leave these people. We will preach here. Just because it is difficult does not mean we give up.”
This incident reveals that Śrīla Prabhupāda was truly a fearless spiritual warrior, determined to spread Kṛṣṇa consciousness even in the most challenging circumstances.
We must learn from the example of His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda: when the going gets tough, the tough get going. Great devotees like Prahlāda Mahārāja and Śrīla Prabhupāda teach us that true devotees never give up. No matter how difficult the circumstances, they continue forward with determination. This unwavering perseverance is one of the defining qualities of a pure devotee.
A pure devotee is ready to tolerate any hardship – insults, difficulties, or challenges in this world – but will never abandon chanting, preaching, or striving to please Lord Kṛṣṇa. Such steadfast devotion deeply pleases the Lord. One can imagine even Kṛṣṇa marveling, “Just see, this devotee never gives up performing devotional service!”
Śrīla Prabhupāda himself faced many struggles and setbacks in the United States. Yet, this was all part of Kṛṣṇa’s divine plan. Kṛṣṇa arranged that no external support would come easily so the world could witness the depth of His devotee’s surrender.
Through all odds, Śrīla Prabhupāda persevered alone and established the International Society for Krishna Consciousness in the West. Therefore, full credit goes to him – single-handedly, with complete faith and surrender, he laid the foundation of a global spiritual movement.
The Unimaginable Struggles of His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda
Alone in a foreign land in the bitter winter of New York City, Śrīla Prabhupāda walked with quiet determination. He had no money, no followers, no institution – no visible support of any kind. To the world, he appeared to be just another unknown elderly man moving through the crowded streets of Manhattan.
Yet within him burned something far greater. He carried the weight of a divine mission – the sacred order of his spiritual master.
Crushing Physical Hardships
The winter of 1965–66 was merciless. Snowstorms swallowed the city whole, and icy winds tore through the streets with a sharpness that seemed to pierce the body itself. Temperatures plunged below freezing, roads hardened into sheets of ice, and even the strongest struggled to keep their footing.
And there was Śrīla Prabhupāda. An elderly saint from India, clad in a simple dhoti beneath a thin coat, walking through blizzards. His face grew numb, his eyes watered from the freezing wind; there was no car to carry him, no comfort to shield him, no protection from the cold. Still, he walked. Every single day.
Pressure to Compromise His Faith
Well-wishers urged him: “Change your clothes.” “Adopt Western habits.” “Give up your strict principles.” Even respected figures like Mr. Mishra advised him that if he wished to survive in the West, he would have to adjust – perhaps even compromise – his core spiritual vows.
But Śrīla Prabhupāda stood firm. “I have not come to beg something; I have come to give something.”
He chose struggle over compromise, hardship over dilution, and refused to trade the purity of Kṛṣṇa consciousness for comfort or acceptance.
The Pain of Loneliness
No followers. No disciples. No community. Just silence. A subway conductor, Mr. Ruben, once noticed him sitting alone, like a solitary holy man with no one by his side. Yet Śrīla Prabhupāda would say, “I am not alone.” He spoke to Mr. Ruben of future temples, future devotees, as if they were already there, waiting.
Repeated Financial Rejections
Hope came, then shattered. Support that once seemed within reach suddenly vanished. Lal Bahadur Shastri, who had appreciated him and might have helped release funds, passed away unexpectedly. A door closed.
Under Indira Gandhi, the government denied permission to send money abroad. Another door closed.
Padampat Singhania initially encouraged the idea of building a temple but later stepped back, then withdrew completely. The final door closed.
Prabhupāda even approached A. M. Hartman with a humble request: to use an empty building, just temporarily, for a spiritual center. His request was refused.
Silence from His Own Circle
He wrote letter after letter to godbrothers, institutions, friends – not for himself, but for a temple for Kṛṣṇa.
But the replies did not come. Or when they did, they carried no real help. Even those who might have stood beside him remained silent. Imagine that pain!
Failure Even in His Own Country
His books – Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam – barely moved in India; only a few copies were sold. Bookstores returned stacks of them. Even in the so-called “land of religion,” there was little interest.
A Broken World Around Him
He looked at America, with its tall buildings, wealth, and advanced technology.
But inside, he saw the youth struggling with drug addiction, growing protests against the Vietnam War, and increasing social unrest and anxiety. To him, American appeared to have material success on the outside, but spiritual emptiness within.
Relentless External Failures
No funding, no buildings, no support, no recognition. Every plan blocked. Every effort resisted. Every hope tested.
Yet he never stopped. This is where glory shines the brightest.
Despite everything, he wrote and translated daily, chanted constantly, cooked and offered his food to Kṛṣṇa, and spoke philosophy to even a single listener.
The Real Victory
Externally, he looked defeated. But spiritually, he was already victorious because he never forgot Kṛṣṇa. He never gave up. He never compromised.
At that moment, in the winter of New York, no one believed in him or supported him or recognized him.
But he believed in his guru, his mission, and Kṛṣṇa.
And that was enough.
Final Reflection
The world saw a struggling old man, but history would reveal a spiritual giant. A warrior. A pure devotee who crossed oceans, faced rejection after rejection, walked through freezing storms, endured loneliness, and never gave up.
And from that struggle, a global movement was born.
I will conclude this offering with one of Prabhupāda’s most powerful final instructions: “Your love for me will be shown by how you cooperate to keep this movement alive after I am gone.”
He knew that internal conflicts could weaken the movement, so he stressed unity, cooperation, and working together in service.
Here are some beautiful lines from his purport to Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 4.30.8: “Those who are actually engaged in the service of the Supreme Personality of Godhead cannot be disunited in any circumstance. This makes the Supreme Personality of Godhead very happy and willing to award all kinds of benediction to His devotees, as indicated in this verse.”
