ISKCON—Columbus

We offer our most prostrated obeisances unto the lotus feet of His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, our spiritual master and the qualified bona fide personal representative of the Supreme Lord, Sri Krsna, in this age. Who is like unto our spiritual master, Srila Prabhupada? When we were all drowning in the ocean of death, His Divine Grace alone came with the transcendental message of back home, back to Godhead. And thusly the ghastly fires of materialism are not only reduced to ashes but are transformed into the sun rays of Krsna consciousness.

At our temple in Columbus, Ohio, we are trying to be of some service to His Divine Grace in presenting this overpowering Truth to the world of Kali Age: that the central figure in existence is the Absolute Personality of Godhead whose moonlike face outcharms millions of Cupids and whose supreme status is reserved for the loving service of His instrumental parts and parcels, which alone can touch Him: Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna, Krsna Krsna, Hare Hare/Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare. Hare.

And so our temple's activities are an attempt to pursue His Divine Grace's instructions: a bhakti-yoga club at Ohio State University, high school class lectures in the Columbus area, credit courses at other area Ohio campuses, and a program with the Cleveland Temple to present large Krsna conscious festivals at the different Ohio colleges. We are undertaking a massive redecorating project at our temple and then we will invite different groups of people to come there and, in the association of devotees, to hear about the ultimate and most important end of human activity: Lord Krsna, His service and transcendental features.

We also have sahkirtana party downtown at the Ohio State Capitol Building, and there Back to Godhead Magazine is distributed. We of course have the daily schedule of classes and aratrika ceremony and prasadam program. And we can see the potency of devotional service insofar as there are always people coming to and calling the temple to learn about Krsna.

In these and many many more, ever-increasing ways, we pray and aspire to please, O Srila Prabhupada, be allowed entry into Your service and let us do our fullest and best, to make Lord Chaitanya's movement a roaring success. All glories to His Divine Grace Srila Prabhupada. Please accept our most reverential and humble obeisances.
