O dear Prabhupada, you smile that does radiate light in the darkness of the universe, the breath of your words that eradicates all misconception and doubt, the caress of your touch that does lighten the burden of heavy sorrow…for those who have forgotten God, you have taken our hands and led us to the lake. You have shown us the Banyan tree and let us hear the sound of its leaves as they rustle in the wind. That I might kneel at your feet and offer my most humble obeisances, I should be blissful in the presence of your auspicious being.

O blessed Srila Prabhupada, I see your effulgent smile and hear the breath of your words and feel the caress of your touch…and know that our Lord Krsna is gracious, so very merciful, and so very beautiful.

HARE KRSNA!!!
