Hare Krishna beloved Gurudeva

Please accept our humble obeisances

All glories to Srila Prabhupada


I am deeply moved. During the las weeks reading the Srimad Bhagavatam for Bhakti Vaibhava study has led me to meditate on you. You embody Srimad Bhagavatam's values, attitudes, and behaviors, reflecting the very qualities of your Gurumaharaja. Many of my memories of your association and your words relate to my studies, and I am grateful for your integrity. Furthermore, my careful reading of Tava Pache Pache has opened a threshold of understanding I didn't know how to access. Thank you for shedding light on the meanings of the Upadesamrta and for weaving that "mandala" of relationships between Prabhupada's various texts, reality, and my own life.


I hope you are well, Gurudeva.

HpS - AgtSP. One devotee was complaining how hard it was to make other devotees into competent leaders that he could rely on.

Hansadutta Swami replied, "Srila Prabhupada made his leaders out of MUD!"
