Your Divine Grace Srila Prabhupada

To completely appreciate your transcendental glories is possible only by a devotee whose devotional service to Krsna is perfectly mature. We are just fledgling neophytes taking up your instructions on how to go back to home, back to Godhead and therefore we are feeling frustrated by our inability to properly praise our spiritual master. But one thing we are always careful to remember-that all our happiness and advancement in Krsna consciousness is due to your causeless mercy and kindness only. The Vedas state that by the mercy of the guru one achieves Krsna consciousness, and we are able to appreciate Your Divine Grace in this way.

At your New Orleans center we have worked hard to please and glorify our eternal master, Your Divine Grace. Just as Nityananda Prabhu thought that if He could deliver the most fallen souls Jagai and Madhai, Lord Caitanya would be more glorified, we are thinking that whatever we accomplish will be to your glory. Factually all our progress to push on this movement for the highest welfare of humanity is simply due to your spiritual potency and superexcellent devotion to the Supreme Lord, Sri Krsna.

This year, you have purchased a wonderful farm near this temple and you have established a cow protection program, with crops on all the fields. At this center you have brought a dozen more souls to Krsna consciousness, making devotees out of meateaters. Here, you have installed white marble Gaura-Nitai Deities, who are enthusing all the assembled devotees to chant and dance the Hare Krsna mantra in ecstasy. And you have expressed interest to visit us meager disciples soon.

All this and the continuation of our advancement in Krsna consciousness attests to your transcendental greatness.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!
