Dearmost Srila Prabhupada,

On this most eventful day, we beg you to please accept our respectful danḍavats again and again at your merciful feet.

It was such a nice day, that third of July, 1974, when you graced us a Nadi Airport, and we had your darsana. On that beautiful day our blissful life began the way to Sri Krsna. Many are called guru, but you actually have the qualification of guru and mahatma. One who accepts you as his spiritual master attains the perfection of life. By giving us the practices and routine of actual spiritual life, you are making us strong in Krsna consciousness.

You should be paid all the respect due to God because you are the bona fide representative of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Sri Krsna. Our position, and our heart and soul is to try and please you, for without your favor there is no chance of attaining krsna-prema.

We have seen many svamis and yogis come from India and become popular by preaching their concocted ideas of voidism and impersonalism. They are simply interested in name, fame, money and women. You are kindly distributing Lord Caitanya's jewel of krsna-bhakti and you are saving the whole world, turning it into Vaikuntha with the holy vibration of the holy name of God. The people here are confused-just like we were but armed with your sublime books and shining example, we shall raise them to the standard of Krsna consciousness. We firmly dedicate ourselves to establish a worthy abode for Their Lordships Sri Sri Radha-Krsna.

So, we humbly pray to Lord Krsna for your continued well-being, for without you there is no way back home, back to Krsna. All glories to you, Srila Prabhupada!

Your unworthy servants,

ALL GLORIES TO SRĪLA PRABHUPADA
