Our dearest Śrīla Prabhupāda,
Please accept our prostrated obeisance at the dust of your lotus feet on this most auspicious
occasion of your appearance for the benefit of all the fallen souls of this world. All glories to Your
Divine Grace.
Thank you, Śrīla Prabhupāda, for engaging us in the service of your dear Lordships Śrī Śrī
Jagannātha-Baladeva-Subhadrā, Śrī Śrī Rādhā-Nīlamādhava, and the most merciful Śrī Śrī Gaura-
Nitai, and thereby making our lives truly successful.
Kṛṣṇa consciousness is urgent and can’t wait for anything external – this was the first teaching
your Guru Mahārāja gave you, and you made your entire life a living testimony to this order. As
you started your preaching endeavors in India, you were always carrying a sense of urgency to
spread Kṛṣṇa consciousness quickly all over the world, whether by writing a letter to Mahatma
Gandhiji, explaining to him the real meaning of the term “Mahatma” along with the real occupa-
tion of the “Harijanas”; explaining to Dr. Rajendra Prasad, the then president of India, your for-
mula for taking everybody back to Godhead; making your plans for worldwide outreach through
the League of Devotees, based in Jhansi; or frequently forgoing meals so you could purchase
more paper to print Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam. All these and many more instances in your life show your
overwhelming compassion for the conditioned souls and a great sense of urgency to spread Krsna
consciousness in the world.
Śrīla Prabhupāda, you descended to this world to fulfill the prediction of Lord Caitanya, as He
proclaimed it five hundred years ago:
ebe nāma-saṅkīrtana tīkṣṇa khaḍga laiyā
antara asura jīvera phelibe kāṭiyā
yadi pāpi chāḍi dharma dūre deśe yāya
mora senāpati-bhakta yāibe tathāya
Taking the sharp sword of the congregational chanting of the Hare Kṛṣṇa mahā-mantra,
I will root out and destroy the demoniac mentality in the hearts of all conditioned
souls. If some sinful people escape, going to far-off countries, then my senāpati-bhakta
[general of the devotees] will come at that time to give them Kṛṣṇa consciousness.
(Caitanya-maṅgala, Sūtra-khaṇḍa 564–65)
I don’t think any sane man would dare to doubt the fact that you are the same senāpati-bhakta, the
empowered commander in chief of Lord Caitanya.
We, your humble servants at ISKCON Warangal, are very fortunate to receive this golden
chance to engage in the mission of Lord Caitanya through your teachings. In the last year, these
are some of our humble offerings at your lotus feet:
• A total of thirty-five devotees in our community have been initiated.
• We have started a Bhakta Prahlad school to engage and train children in Kṛṣṇa
consciousness.
• 27,000 people attended our Janmāṣṭamī celebrations in 2024.
• Part of the 1.1 acre of land at Manikonda, which was illegally annexed by a local estate
holder, has now been cleared, and recently we have taken possession of the property.
• We have undertaken major renovations in the existing ashram. The ashram was renovated to
cater to brahmacārīs and the local college students taking up Kṛṣṇa consciousness.
• The existing temple hall is being extended from 1,000 to 2,000 square feet to facilitate an
increasing number of activities at the temple.
• We have opened four new student centers near reputed colleges to give students the oppor-
tunity to practice Kṛṣṇa consciousness.
• We have been regularly doing Food-for-Life prasādam distribution near the temple as well
as within the city a minimum of twice a month. Hundreds of people come and receive
kṛṣṇa-prasādam.
Dear Śrīla Prabhupāda, we sincerely seek your mercy to continue our services and increase our
outreach through book distribution, harināma, and various preaching programs. We also want to
complete the renovation work as early as possible so that hundreds of thousands of people can
visit and benefit from the glorious opportunity to practice devotional service which you provided.
In a letter to Kṛṣṇā Devī, dated January 26, 1968, you so beautifully, succinctly, and poetically
pointed out the real purpose of life in this material world: “This life of material existence is just
like hard wood, and if we can carve Krishna out of it, that is the success of our life.” Please bless
us so that we can perfect our existence by becoming your servants and truly surrendering our-
selves to your lotus feet, thereby utilizing the hard wood of material existence to carve the Deity
of Kṛṣṇa out of it.
Your servant,
Sītārāma Dāsa,
on behalf of the ISKCON Warangal devotees
Dearly respected Śrīla Prabhupāda,
Please accept our humble obeisances in the dust of your lotus feet, which traversed the earth
to uplift innumerable fallen souls in this Age of Kali. Had you not left Vrindavan to broadcast the
message of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu, there was no chance that we could have heard about Śrī
Kṛṣṇa, His abode Śrī Vrindavan Dhāma, and His transcendental devotional service.
This year, 2025, commemorates the fiftieth anniversary of the inauguration of the Śrī Śrī
Krishna-Balaram Mandir on the auspicious day of Śrī Rāma-navamī in 1975. It was a day of
jubilation, the culmination of a lifetime of struggles you endured to establish a divine temple
in Vrindavan. You wanted a place where devotees from around the world would be welcomed, a
place specifically for your disciples, life members, and international guests. You also particularly
aspired to establish a temple for the worship of Śrī Śrī Kṛṣṇa and Balarāma, along with Śrī Śrī
Gaura-Nitāi and Śrī Śrī Rādhā-Śyāmasundara. Since the area of Raman-reti is the eternal līlā-
sthana of Kṛṣṇa’s and Balarāma’s cowherd pastimes, They now reside here permanently in the
magnificent temple you constructed.
Vrindavan is your eternal home; it was also the first place that your disciples built a house for
you to live in. Eventually you chose to enter the nitya-līlā of Śrī Kṛṣṇa at this place, surrounded
by your loving disciples. You encouraged all the residents of the temple to dedicate their lives to
serving here, and described that the entire spiritual world is contained within the four walls of the
temple compound. We have tried to mold our lives according to the multitude of instructions you
gave for Vrindavan. You wanted this temple to be “heaven on earth” and a center for education.
After establishing the temple in 1975, you then proceeded to establish the Bhaktivedanta Swami
Goshala and Bhaktivedanta Swami International Gurukula. You also sent devotees far and wide
for saṅkīrtana by bullock cart and buses. Your vision for this temple was glorious, and to this day
we strive to fulfill all the plans you gave us to expand the preaching efforts here.
You instructed that anyone who resides in Vrindavan should be on the level of a gosvāmī, fully
dedicated to serving the Lord with body, mind, and words. You envisioned the temple to be a
sanctuary for renounced brahmacārīs and sannyāsīs, with gṛhasthas and vānaprasthas residing near
the temple to render service. During the fifty years since the grand opening, many devotees have
served together to carry out your vision for Vrindavan, and there has been ever-increasing expan-
sion of the project. Now there is a hundred-and-twenty-acre gurukula and ecofarm, and a number
of preaching centers and temples established both within the Vraja area and throughout the
nearby cities.
Truly, Vrindavan is your eternal home, and as our father, grandfather, and great-grandfather, as
dīkṣā-guru or preeminent śikṣā-guru, we have inherited this treasure of the Śrī Śrī Krishna-Balaram
Mandir to maintain for many generations into the future. As we gather together each morning to
glorify you at your divine samādhi, we pray, “By the mercy of the spiritual master one receives the
benediction of Kṛṣṇa. Without the grace of the spiritual master one cannot make any advance-
ment.” And then joining together for guru-pūjā we pray, “Make the teachings from the lotus
mouth of the spiritual master one with our heart and do not desire anything else.” That is our life
and soul, to carry out your instructions throughout our life.
In honor of the Golden Jubilee festival this year, we have invited devotees to attend a grand
festival with twelve days of parikrama to the twelve forests of Vrindavan, and then six days of hear-
ing and chanting about the grand opening from senior Vaiṣṇavas. As you did in 1975, we will also
distribute prasādam to thousands of people throughout the day with the same menu you chose
in 1975. There will be cultural programs and dramas, just as you wanted, and twenty-four-hour
kīrtana, which you personally inaugurated at the opening. Mahā-abhiṣeka, a Jhulan-yātrā, Śobha-
yātrā, and nāgara-saṅkīrtana will grace the festival in glorification of Their Lordships.
We pray that you will be satisfied with our humble endeavors to please you, and that you
will always keep us under the shelter of your lotus feet so that we may continue to serve you at
ISKCON Vrindavan eternally.
Your servants in the dust of your lotus feet,
The residents of ISKCON Vrindavan
Dear Śrīla Prabhupāda,
Please accept our most humble obeisances at your divine lotus feet. All glories to you, the
savior of countless conditioned souls across the world. You are the chosen emissary of Lord Śrī
Kṛṣṇa and the most merciful representative of the entire paramparā. By your compassion, millions
who were lost in the darkness of ignorance have now found the light of transcendental knowledge
and the shelter of Kṛṣṇa’s lotus feet.
We, the residents of Kashi, the ancient and spiritually significant city of Varanasi, are eternally
indebted to you. Although Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu Himself once walked these very lanes, it was
through your boundless mercy that we came to know of His divine pastimes, His loving associ-
ates, and the profound glory of gaura-bhakti. Prior to your teachings, we had little understanding
of the supreme gift Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu gave to the world, kṛṣṇa-prema.
Śrīla Prabhupāda, though our center in Varanasi is small in size, by your causeless mercy it is
vibrant in spirit. The physical facilities may be limited, but our true wealth lies in the association
of devotees and in your transcendental teachings. We have a dedicated congregation of approxi-
mately sixty devotees who are sincerely chanting sixteen rounds daily. The unity and affection
among us resemble that of a loving family.
We are also blessed with an active youth wing, with four gurukula-style youth centers located
just behind IIT-BHU, where about forty or fifty young devotees reside and engage in spiritual
practices. These devotees attend maṅgala-ārati and participate in the full morning program daily.
This is truly your mercy, Śrīla Prabhupāda.
Gradually, the culture of devotional service is growing. Initially, garlands were not made by
devotees, but now many mātājīs have lovingly taken up this sevā. Śrī Śrī Rādhā-Gopāla and Śrī Śrī
Gaura-Nitāi now receive garlands made exclusively by the hands of devotees.
Our digital sevā team shares the divine darshan of our Lordships with the broader community
through regular postings. Our weekly programs are many, and our forums are expanding. We
have special saṅgas, such as:
• Vidur Saṅga for the elderly
• ISKCON Vaiṣṇavī Saṅga for married ladies
• Swara Brahma for training in Hare Kṛṣṇa kīrtana
• Nritya Vatica for devotional classical dance and music
• Girls’ Voice Center for uplifting young women through Kṛṣṇa consciousness
• Sanskriti classes for children to learn ślokas, drama, painting, and more.
We are also engaged in online preaching and book distribution. Many souls are reading your
books digitally and connecting with the teachings of the Bhagavad-gītā and Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam.
A gift shop functions as a base for book distribution, and our festival organization has matured.
Recognizing that festivals are the soul of the temple, we have appointed coordinators, and every
month, despite limited resources, we celebrate at least one grand festival led by a devotee from
the congregation. Our grand festivals include Janmāṣṭamī, Gaura-Pūrṇimā, and most recently, the
Phoolon ki Holi festival, where over two thousand people attended. We showcased a short film on
your glorious life and teachings. Many were deeply touched and expressed a desire to associate
more with the temple.
Kīrtanas in the morning and evening fill the temple atmosphere with transcendental joy. People
from all walks of life come to the temple seeking peace, devotion, and Kṛṣṇa’s presence. We are
in the process of constructing a new temple on this same sacred land. Though the area is small, it
is at a prime location, and a beautiful temple here will allow thousands more to experience Kṛṣṇa
consciousness.
Śrīla Prabhupāda, whatever little we are able to do is only by your blessings. You journeyed
across the ocean at the age of 70 and changed the world. We are young, but cannot match
your dedication and sacrifice. Still, we try, in our limited ways, to serve you and follow your
instructions.
Kindly bless us that we never become complacent, that we rise above laziness and internal
politics, and remain focused on our ultimate goal – to please you. Please bless us that we see the
good in one another and do not fall into the trap of fault-finding or the pursuit of positions. Let
the service itself be our reward, and your satisfaction be our only ambition.
You have brought us to the service of Śrī Gopāla. No matter how big or small our efforts are,
the fact that we are engaged in devotional service is itself the greatest fortune of our lives – and
that is entirely your mercy. Without your coming into our lives, we would have continued wander-
ing in the world of illusion, running after temporary pleasures.
Your life, Śrīla Prabhupāda, is a lighthouse in the darkness of Kali-yuga. You lived in Praya-
graj and surely must have had a spiritual connection with Varanasi too. Now, please bless us that
our external development is matched by internal purification, so that we can truly meet your
expectations.
You didn’t simply desire temples or restaurants – you desired that we become pure devotees
and lovers of Kṛṣṇa. That, we know, is not possible by our own effort, for we do not yet know
Kṛṣṇa. But you, Śrīla Prabhupāda, are Kṛṣṇa’s pure devotee – and only you can bring us closer to
Him.
We humbly pray for the strength to carry on your mission in this holy city of Kashi, to expand
Kṛṣṇa consciousness, and to grow in our own sādhana. Please bless us to be united, sincere, and
enthusiastic in your service.
As Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam (11.17.27) glorifies the position of guru:
ācāryaṁ māṁ vijānīyān
navamanyeta karhicit
na martya-buddhyāsūyeta
sarva-deva-mayo guruḥ
One should know the ācārya as Myself and never disrespect him in any way. One
should not envy him, thinking him an ordinary man, for he is the representative of all
the demigods.
Śrīla Prabhupāda, you are our eternal guide, our ever well-wisher, and our dearest master. We do
not know what to ask, but you know what to give. Please continue to guide us, correct us, and
uplift us. Your mission will continue for the next ten thousand years. May we be instruments in
your hands.
Your aspiring servants,
on behalf of the entire congregation of ISKCON Varanasi
Our most beloved Śrīla Prabhupāda,
Hare Kṛṣṇa! Please accept our prostrated humble obeisances at the most merciful dust of your
lotus feet. All glories to Your Divine Grace!
oṁ ajñāna-timirāndhasya jñānāñjana-śalākayā
akṣur unmīlitaṁ yena tasmai śrī-gurave namaḥ
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
On this auspicious occasion of your appearance day, we are attempting to present our humble
Vyāsa-pūjā offering at your lotus feet. Please accept this offering, written for our own benefit, and
bless us to become your dear servants, able to serve your mission of giving love of Nitāi-Gaurāṅga
to this increasingly suffering humanity in the dark age of Kali-yuga. Your compassion for other
living entities is unfathomable, founded on your deep love for the Supreme Personality of God-
head, Śrī Kṛṣṇa, and profound faith and conviction in following the instructions of your Guru
Mahārāja Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Prabhupāda. Your life is a demonstration of śraddhā
(faith) as it is described by Śrī Kṛṣṇadāsa Kavirāja Gosvāmī in Śrī Caitanya-caritāmṛta: ‘śraddhā’-
śabde – viśvāsa kahe sudṛḍha niścaya / kṛṣṇe bhakti kaile sarva-karma kṛta haya.
Śrī Akiñcana Kṛṣṇa dāsa Bābājī Mahārāja credited your success in spreading Lord Gaurāṅga’s
mission to your deep faith in the holy name. That faith of yours in the holy name continues to
manifest today in the form of spreading the saṅkīrtana movement to every nook and corner of this
globe.
It is our fortune that we have received your association through your most exalted disciples,
who have been serving you tirelessly, advancing your mission, even until their ripe old age, fol-
lowing in your footsteps. Kṛṣṇa appears once in a day of Brahmā, which spans 8.64 billion years,
followed by Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu’s appearance. You appeared as the general of Śrīmān
Mahāprabhu’s army to accomplish His mandate of spreading the holy name of Gaurāṅga to every
town and village. Therefore, your appearance is as rare as the Supreme Personality of Godhead,
and we are only separated by a few decades from your physical presence.
An exalted ācārya in the line of the Madhva-sampradāya remarked that a personality like Your
Divine Grace had never appeared in the past and will never appear again in future. Thus our for-
tune is immeasurable, and the only way we can express our gratitude is to share that fortune with
others, following in the footsteps of your disciples.
Dear Śrīla Prabhupāda, in New Gokula Dhāma, ISKCON Vancouver, we endeavor to further
your mission of spreading Kṛṣṇa consciousness by performing a variety of activities. 2024 marked
the fiftieth anniversary of the installation of the Divine Couple, Śrī Śrī Rādhā-Madana-mohana
here. We celebrated the occasion with great joy and enthusiasm, remembering your glories. One
of Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa’s attributes is that He is satya-saṅkalpa: whatever He wills manifests.
Similarly, being a pure devotee of Śrī Kṛṣṇa, your will to have a temple in Vancouver was mani-
fested fifty years ago, and now it attracts hundreds of thousands of souls to come and participate
in the saṅkīrtana movement.
The three-day festival we held in honor of the installation anniversary included the participa-
tion of many of your disciples, such as Their Graces Pārtha and Uttama, Ānandamaya, Paratparaḥ,
Varāha Rūpa, Mahidhara, Kāla, and Rādhikā, to name only a few. These devotees were instru-
mental in establishing Śrī Śrī Rādhā-Madana-mohana’s temple, which you named New Gokula
Dhāma. It was truly inspiring to hear their memories, sacrifices, dedication, and devotion.
The Golden Dancer bus tour took us to various historical places, and this brought nostalgia
to the senior devotees and exhilaration to the younger devotees. The altar and Deities were fabu-
lously decorated by a team of young and senior devotees. A new Japa Garden, bedecked with 108
beautifully decorated steppingstones, was inaugurated, with our utsava Deities, Śrī Śrī Rādhā-
Madana-gopāla, leading the way on Their flower palanquin. Overall, the festival was a once-in-a-
lifetime experience for many.
In 2024, with the support of our community, we were able to improve the temple facilities
by adding a large patio, followed by a permanent tent in which our many hundreds of guests
can now be comfortably served prasādam. Our new Pushpanjali Farm grows varieties of flowers,
adding color to our temple campus as well as providing fresh flowers for the Deities. The distri-
bution of your books continued throughout the year, with an unprecedented number of Śrīmad-
Bhāgavatam sets distributed on Bhadra Pūrṇimā. All the devotee teams involved in outreach
activities, kīrtana programs, prasādam distribution, devotee care, and other temple-related projects,
made their contributions as offerings at your lotus feet.
Moving forward, the current temple management is focused on implementing an appropriate
nurturing model to build a vibrant devotee congregation in Vancouver. This model is the need of
the hour, as more and more new devotees are visiting our temple regularly. The growing congrega-
tion also requires a bigger temple with better facilities. The new temple construction team is forg-
ing ahead with fundraising and recruiting building experts to begin the groundbreaking as early
as possible. On the auspicious occasion of your Vyāsa-pūjā day we seek your blessings to succeed
in our endeavors in building a harmonious Kṛṣṇa conscious community and a grand new temple
building in the near future.
Whatever endeavor we may attempt may not be enough. Reading from the Śrīla Prabhupāda-
līlāmṛta, we hear: “Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī had said that if only one soul could be turned into
a pure devotee, his mission would be a success. Yet sometimes Abhay became overwhelmed when
he thought of how small he was, how much work had to be done on behalf of Kṛṣṇa, and how
difficult it was to convince even one conditioned soul.” We pray at your lotus feet that we imbibe
even an iota of this mood and become serious in our service. Let us please you and make advance-
ment in our spiritual journey. Bless us that we may bring benefit to humanity struggling in the
dark age of Kali-yuga.
With heartfelt gratitude and love,
on behalf of your servants at New Gokula Dhāma,
Nitāi Rāma Dāsa (temple president), Ananta Hari Dāsa (TEC), Jānakī Jīvana Dāsa (TEC),
Nitya Kiśorī Devī Dāsī (TEC), Mālatī Devī Dāsī (TEC), Murāri Caraṇa Dāsa (TEC),
Vṛndā Devī Dāsī (TEC), Nanda Gopāla Dāsa (servant leader, congregational development)
Dearest Śrīla Prabhupāda,
Please accept our most humble obeisances at your divine lotus feet. All glories to Your Divine
Grace!
With hearts full of gratitude, we once again approach you to offer our humble prayers and
report on the progress of our humble services. It is only by your causeless mercy and unshakable
determination that we, the devotees of ISKCON Vallabh Vidyanagar, are able to engage in the
mission of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu, striving to spread the teachings of the Bhagavad-gītā and
Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, as you so mercifully instructed.
Two years ago, we shared with you our deep aspiration to construct a magnificent, full-stone
temple for the pleasure of Śrī Śrī Rādhā-Giridhārī, ensuring that Their Lordships have a beautiful,
permanent residence where They may receive loving service from countless devotees for genera-
tions to come. By your blessings and the grace of Lord Kṛṣṇa, this project has been progressing
steadily.
Progress of the Temple Construction
By Kṛṣṇa’s mercy and the unwavering dedication of the devotees, we have now completed the
foundation and the primary structural framework. The intricate stone carvings, done by skilled
artisans, are shaping the temple into a divine architectural masterpiece, preserving the rich heri-
tage of our Vaiṣṇava tradition. The altar design is being finalized with great care, ensuring that Śrī
Śrī Rādhā-Giridhārī’s new home reflects the beauty and transcendence of Their divine pastimes.
We are now advancing to the next phase, which includes the completion of the temple’s outer
structure, ornamentation, and interior sanctum. Each step is being undertaken with deep devo-
tion, understanding that this temple is not just a building but a beacon of spiritual enlightenment
and shelter for all who seek the path of bhakti.
A Spiritual Oasis in Your Service
Śrīla Prabhupāda, this temple is being constructed not merely of stone but of devotion, faith,
and the collective service of your followers. We envision it as a center for vibrant Kṛṣṇa conscious
activities – kīrtana, hari-kathā, Deity worship, prasādam distribution, and outreach programs that
will uplift and engage souls from all walks of life. Our aspiration is to make this temple a true
spiritual oasis, where the teachings you gave us are lived and shared wholeheartedly.
As we continue this sacred endeavor, we pray for your continued blessings, guidance, and
empowerment so that we may complete this temple and dedicate it as a glorious offering to your
divine mission. Please allow us to remain steadfast in service, always remembering that everything
we do is by your mercy alone.
Begging to always remain your humble servants,
Team ISKCON Vallabh Vidyanagar
Dear Śrīla Prabhupāda,
We offer our humble obeisances at your lotus feet.
With your divine grace and mercy, our Śrī Śrī Rādhā-Śyāmasundara temple in Vadodara
recently celebrated its twenty-fifty anniversary. To mark this milestone, we organized a Rajat Jay-
anti Mahotsav at various locations throughout the city. Thousands of local residents and devotees
participated in the festivities, reveling in the glories of harināma, kṛṣṇa-kathā, and prasādam.
With your divine mercy, our hostel preaching programs are flourishing. We are actively engag-
ing hundreds of youths in Kṛṣṇa consciousness at MS University and Parul University. Our
temple hall is now filled with devotees during the sandhyā-ārati – a testament to the vibrant spiri-
tual atmosphere you have inspired in this city. The sight of so many devotees gathered in devotion
is a powerful reminder of your enduring influence and the strength of the Kṛṣṇa consciousness
movement.
Our goshala is a shining example of your teachings on cow protection. We are blessed to care
for more than a hundred cows, all of whom are exceptionally healthy and happy. A senior devotee
recently visited our temple and remarked that he had never seen such well-cared-for and joyful
cows at any other temple. This is a reflection of the loving care and devotion you have instilled in
us. The cows are not just animals to us; they are cherished members of our community, and their
well-being is a priority.
We are also blessed to be able to distribute prasādam widely, nourishing both body and soul of
countless individuals. Our prasādam distribution program has reached many people, providing
them with sanctified food that carries your blessings. This service is a cornerstone of our outreach
efforts, helping to spread the message of Kṛṣṇa consciousness through the simple act of sharing a
meal.
Our book distribution efforts continue to spread your teachings far and wide, bringing the
light of Kṛṣṇa consciousness to many. The books you wrote are a treasure trove of spiritual
wisdom, and we are committed to ensuring that they reach as many people as possible. Each book
distributed is a seed planted, with the potential to grow into a deep and abiding faith in Kṛṣṇa.
We remain ever grateful for your guidance and blessings, which continue to inspire and uplift
us in our service. Your vision and dedication have created a global movement that touches the
hearts of millions, and we are honored to be a part of it. We strive to live up to your example and
to carry forward the mission you have entrusted to us.
Your humble servant,
Padmanayana Kṛṣṇa Dāsa
On behalf of the devotees at ISKCON Vadodara
