Dear Çréla Prabhupäda,<br />
I bow at your lotus feet.<br />
In your purport to Gétä 3.30, you write, “The Lord instructs that one has to become fully Kåñëa conscious<br />
to discharge duties, as if in military discipline.”<br />
In our conditioned state it is natural that we, your followers, go through physical, emotional, and<br />
spiritual cycles in which our enthusiasm and energy for service wax and wane. Yet if we continue to<br />
faithfully serve you, we will steadily advance, even as we experience inevitable ups and downs.<br />
With perfect purity, maturity, and compassion you, our loving spiritual father, guide us through<br />
life’s struggles and guarantee the ultimate victory of those who remain faithfully engaged in serving<br />
your mission.<br />
You are not merely a glorious theological category. You are a charming, inspiring, liberated soul with<br />
your own unique Kåñëa conscious personality. Learning to relate to you appropriately, we learn to relate<br />
to Kåñëa and other liberated souls. We prepare for our eternal life.<br />
As always, on this day we thank you best by rededicating ourselves to the fulllment of your seless<br />
desires, which are truly the desires of Kåñëa Himself.<br />
Thank you for everything, Çréla Prabhupäda.<br />
Your servant,<br />
Hridayänanda däs Goswami<br />
Dear Çréla Prabhupäda,<br />
Janānanda Gosvāmī<br />
nama oà viñëu-pädäya kåñëa-preñöhäya bhü-tale<br />
çrémate bhaktivedänta-sväminn iti nämine<br />
I offer my respectful obeisances unto His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupäda, who is<br />
very dear to Lord Kåñëa on this earth, having taken shelter at His lotus feet.<br />
namas te särasvate deve gaura-väëé-pracäriëe<br />
nirviçeña-çünyavädi-päçcätya-deça-täriëe<br />
Our respectful obeisances are unto you, O spiritual master, servant of Sarasvaté Gosvämé. You are kindly<br />
preaching the message of Lord Caitanyadeva and delivering the Western countries, which are lled with<br />
impersonalism and voidism.<br />
