Cidānanda das

Srila Prabhupada,

The Lord is so kind to have sent you to the most fallen souls. And you are so kind to try to engage us in the service of the Lord. You have promised that if one services the Lord he will be happy and his life will be successful You are the most happy, and your life is the most successful. You have explained the path of devotional service from a scientific point of view, and you are the pure devotee most versed in wisdom. Srila Prabhupada, all glories and yet again all glories for displaying the perfect example of a teacher. Srila Prabhupada, you have said just sit down and Chant Hare Krsna Mantra and immediately you will feel very nice. And when you grow tired of having kirtana, take nice food and just go on chanting and eating, and everything will be all right. Srila Prabhupada, all glories, all glories and yet again all glories to Your Divine Loving Grace. And you have said, Prabhupada, there is nothing more valuable in this world than a devotee engaged in preaching Krsna consciousness. And so, Srila Prabhupada, I offer you my most respectful and repeated obeisances.

Your servant,

Cidananda das
