Brazil

Dear Srila Prabhupada,

Please accept our humble obeisances and our attempts to help you in spreading the dust of your lotus feet.

Srila Prabhupada, I once thought I was having so much fun playing different sports and so many other useless activities created by the demons to occupy our time away from Krsna. There is a famous story in the western world about an ordinary man, not like yourself. His name was the Pied Piper. This Pied Piper stole all the city children from their mothers and fathers and took them to a far away place. It is not that you are like this ordinary man, but in the same way you have taken us away from our horrible material life and are taking us back to an eternal land from where Your Grace has come, where there is no birth nor death and everyone is always filled with real, eternal happiness. O Srila Prabhupada, you are an eternal inhabitant of the spiritual world. Before you came here we were all suffering in stool, waking in the mornings to go to those horrible schools to hear and learn nonsense from fools. Now by your grace we have all become like madmen to study, learn, dance and sing about the wonderful Supreme Personality of Godhead in His own abode.

Srila Prabhupada, you have given me life. I know there is nothing I can do to repay you, so please let me stay forever helping in any small way. You may send me anywhere you like, to heaven or to hell; please let me always be one of your servants at your feet. In the material world a boy falls in love with a young girl and that girl becomes the life and soul of the boy. The girl becomes everything in the world for this boy and if she was to go away, the boy would feel he had nothing to live for and would want to die. Srila Prabhupada, I am praying that I may also become attached in love that same way to you, so that if I ever leave your service I will want to die also. All your children here in Brazil we are praying for your long, healthy life and that all your desires are fulfilled. Thank you, Srila Prabhupada, for everything that you have given us. Even though there is nothing we can do to repay you, may we always be enthusiastically engaged in helping you in your mission and following your simple rules.

Your eternal children,
