Bowing down with our head on the floor we offer you our obeisances to you Srila Prabhupada.

 

Nama om visnu padaya Krsna presthaya bhutale

Srimate Bhaktivedanta Swami iti namine

 

Namaste Sarasvati devam

Gaura vani pracarine

Nirvisesa sunnyavadi

Pascatya desa tarine

 

We can see so, so many faults in our character and actions, but we have followed the four principles strictly again this year and chanted a minimum of 16-enthusiastic rounds daily. We are sure that this is 99.9999% by your mercy and austerity.

 

We are up for Mangala-arati and join with your other disciples in singing and dancing for the Divine Couple early in the morning.

 

We have been joining the Sankirtan party with Nita-gaurasundara Das, our President of our "North American Institute for Oriental and Classical" studies and the many devotees in South and North America, India etc.

We have also the honor to be members and workers of the Ministry of Education under the direction of His Grace Sesa Das.

 

The donkey that we are riding through this world is now seventy years old and vision, respiration, teeth, memory are all diminishing but we and our doctors are amazed at how well is our health. We see absolutely no other cause than this Yoga you have given us. We also remember that you write in the KRSNA book that the old men in Dvaraka would be filled with youthful energy because they were able to see the smiling faces of Krsna and Balarama in their city each day.

 

We hope to be a small feature, creature, in your orchestra delivering messages to Sita from Rama in a scarf tied by you around our neck.

 

Please accept our humble obeisances and we will try to minimize the number of disturbances we create at your lotus feet daily.
