All glories to Srila Prabhupad!
All glories to auspicious appearance day of yours!
I offer my respectful obeisances unto His Holiness Hannumat Presaka Swami who is very dear to Lord Krsna having taken shelter at His lotus feet.
mukam karoti vacalam pangum langhayate girim
yat-krpa tam aham vande sri gurum dina-taranam
"I offer my respectful obeisances unto my spiritual master, the deliverer of all fallen souls, whose mercy turns the dumb into eloquent speakers and enables the lame to cross mountains."
Dear Guru Deva: Please accept my most humble obeisances. I want to express my gratitude to you today for your very determined and steady effort to preach Srila Prabhupada's mission.
Thankyou for training to us in sound Vaisnava principles inline with Srila Prabhupada's instructions and also in painstakingly helping us on all levels of our life.
Thankyou for having a longterm vision for the implementation of Krsna Consciousness in the modern world and not being blind to the inevitable collapse of society as we know it.
Thankyou for taking up Srila Prabhupada's mission so sincerely and pushing all preaching activities, teaching us to make this the basis of our lives.
In Srimad Bhagavatam (8.7.44) it is said that great personalities almost always accept voluntary suffering because of the suffering of people in general. This is considered the highest method of worshiping the Supreme Personality of Godhead, who is present in every one's heart.
Purport: Here is an explanation of how those engaged in activities for the welfare of others are very quickly recognized by the Supreme Personality of Godhead. The Lord says in Bhagavad-gita ( 18.68-69 ) ya idam paramam guhyam mad-bhaktesv abhidhasyati, na ca tasman manusyesu kascin me priya-krttamah, "One who preaches the message of Bhagavad-gita to My devotees is most dear to Me..."
There are different kinds of welfare activities in this material world, but the supreme welfare activity is the spreading of Krishna consciousness. ...if one tries to spread Krishna consciousness all over the world, he should be understood to be performing the best welfare activity. The Lord is automatically very pleased with him. If the Lord is pleased with him, what is left for him to achieve?
You are an ocean of auspicious qualities, receiving benediction from the ocean of mercy of Srila Prabhupada.
I pray to please you one day. Please give me the intelligence and determination to serve you properly.
krishna se tomara,
krishna dite paro,
tomara sakati ache
ami to' kangala,
'krishna' 'krishna' boli',
dhai tava pache pache
Krsna is yours, and you can give Him to me, for such is your power. This wretch is simply running behind you, crying out, "Krsna! Krsna!"
