Dear Srila Prabhupada,

Please accept our eternal obeisances at your divine lotus feet, Srila Prabhupada, where even the most fallen of sinful beings can be accepted by your overwhelming compassion.

Srila Prabhupada, although we seldom have personal association with you, still you are giving us your association through your writings and teachings, and in these books we find, your presence. Every word you speak is so full of devotional inspiration that even the most sinful of people can be enlivened to engage in devotional service to Lord Krsna. Now we simply have to perfect the art of hearing from you.

We find that the more we associate ourselves with you through your books and devotional service through your grace, the more we want others to also come and hear your every word. And as they realize your exalted position as spiritual master of the universe and take to your lotus feet as their only possible shelter, we all become joyful to see you increasingly glorified. Your Divine Grace should be worshiped by every sane human being, and it is our duty to see that this happens. We find that as people read your books, their understanding and appreciation for you increases and so does ours. So we shall attempt to spread Krsna consciousness to all corners by your instruction and permission with increased book distribution. We hope that you shall derive some amount of pleasure from our meager offerings at your feet.

Please, Srila Prabhupada, allow us the intelligence to appreciate our position as your eternal servants and in this mood continue working very honestly and hard to distribute the highest knowledge to all humanity in the form of your books. Kindly permit us to continue trying to please you through our service, as imperfect as it may be. We beg to remain your humble servants.
