om ajnana-timirandhasya jnananjana-salakaya
caksur unmilitam yena tasmai sri-gurave namaḥ

Dear Srila Prabhupada,

This material world is full of death and darkness, and we are all blind creatures groping in the endless night. With no illumination in any direction everything seemed so hopeless and futile, but then by your appearance you revealed a new hope. This Srimad-Bhagavatam, the tonic for this diseased Age of Kali, is unveiling a new and eternal way of life, full of light and knowledge without suffering and misery. It is indeed very fortunate for us that you have translated and published these books for the general use of the Western public. Where else can such books be found? Every page is filled with the glories of Lord Sri Krsna, whose pastimes and activities are wonderful to hear and recite. Full of transcendental subject matter, Srimad-Bhagavatam exposes the mirage existence of the material world and redirects the reader to his proper path, the path back to home, back to Godhead. With your clear purports to eliminate any tint of speculation, these books are presented so nicely that anyone will marvel at the true clarity and realization behind your every word.

Prabhupada, these books are your mercy to the fallen conditioned souls and the foodstuff of your disciples. Our lives are maintained in so many ways by the association of these books. We think that these books are the greatest boon to humanity. Thank you for your kindness and compassion. We offer repeated obeisances unto you. We hope that you will continue on with this wonderful mission of translating the entire Srimad-Bhagavatam. Please bless us with just a speck of your enthusiasm for book distribution, so that we may gain your pleasure.
