—Mahapurusha

On this auspicious day of Vyas Puja I offer my humble obeisances to the Lotus Feet of our Spiritual Master, His Divine Grace Om Vishnupad Paramhansa Paribrajackacharya Sri Srimad Bhaktivedanta Goswami Maharaj Prabhupad. I offer this small tribute with what genuine humility I have:

Among gentlemen, Prabhupad, You are the most cultured, because as a Pure Vaishnava. you surpass all Varnas and Ashramas.

Among scholars and philosophers You are the supermost learned because you are in perfect knowledge of the very End of Knowledge Himself.

Among singers you are the Best because you only sing of the Name, Fame and Glories of the Supreme Lord.

Among dancers, you are the Most Beautiful because you are eternally dancing in ecstasy of Sri Krishna Samkirtan together with Lord Chaitanya and all His associates.

This list can continue endlessly. But Prabhupad among the kind you are the most benevolent and merciful, and among all the servants of Krishna in this world you are the most dear to Him; nor will there ever be one more dear to the Lord, because out of your causeless mercy you have freely delivered to us the most sublime and supreme secret of Krishna Consciousness. All Glories to your Lotus Feet! All Glories to Sri Guru and Gouranga! I pray that you will kindly accept me as your unworthy servant.
