and Yaçodä-duläla Prabhu for their encouragement and their help in finding the relevant quotes.

Dear Çréla Prabhupäda,
Bologna
nama oà viñëu-pädäya kåñëa-preñöhäya bhü-tale
çrémate bhaktivedänta-sväminn iti nämine
namas te särasvate deve gaura-väëé-pracäriëe
nirviçeña-çünyavädi-päçcätya-deça-täriëe
Çréla Prabhupäda, you have produced not just one successor but many, and through your books
you will produce more and more. I am seeing you more and more in your sincere followers. You have a
number of disciples who have been strictly following your instructions for over forty years now, and we
are seeing them becoming mature, empowered devotees. They are touching the hearts of thousands of
people all over the world. This is another proof that you are the empowered äcärya for this age.
You took any persons who were willing to follow your instructions and transformed them into great
devotees. I see your greatness in these wonderful devotees, who each exhibit a small fraction of your
transcendental qualities. Your qualities are innumerable, like a fathomless ocean. Each of your sincere
followers can exhibit only a fraction of these. Your unlimited qualities are expanding and will continue
in the line of ISKCON. Your mercy is all that we are made of.
I see devotees like Vaiçeñika Prabhu, who is inspiring devotees all over the world in book distribution,
and Kälakaëöha Prabhu, who is setting an example for university preaching in America. Badrinäräyaë
Prabhu and Svaväsa Prabhu have steadily run your temples, bringing them to success. Rädhänätha
Swami and Niraïjana Swami are taking care of and inspiring thousands of devotees all over the world.
The more I think about it, the list gets longer and longer. Your transcendental touchstone power has
touched so many, who are in turn touching so many, and on it will go for the next ten thousand years. I
pray to you that I might stay in the shade of your lotus feet and serve you and all these great souls forever.
Your servants in Bologna, Italy.
